Free, begone! There’s hard weather and some rain.
You walk down the meadow. Face lit up. Farewell.
You are born from the dark. Solemn. In breath,
You seek the way. Always scattered.
No matter if you crawl home, our likes are scattered.
Yet fear might hold on. I pray forever.
To the night, every night, to seek her.
You know what? Together. Always.
You slip away. The sane are all the same.
I’m numb. It’s nothing man ’cause I say: “I have tried.”
Guess I’m too stunned to free the misery. I sleep.
Well, there is the sun. She is there.
Oh hell, I can’t see. There’s no secret to believe.
For all these ragged hands stir a restless siege.
Oh, could you dress the stone for everyone to see,
And might you really calm our hearts
Before we face the dark?

Sculptures kneel there in the sun,
Head down, hands rising,
Petrified, their skin so cold,
In dust-fed grief, bones at their feet.
From the depth, I hear a chant
Roaring into the sky, reaching far beyond,
Ramified, invincible,
With galvanized minds feeding the storm.
Oh deluge, I watch the sea.
I don’t need your song. The waves are screaming.
Unknown stars, endless fires,
And castles where the lords never tire.
I am kneeling in the sun,
Head down, hands rising,
Petrified, my skin so cold,
In dust-fed grief, bones at my feet.
Flaming remains are on the ropes.
The air’s ablaze.
Hands seize you.
Fearless,
With galvanized minds feeding the storm.
Children at daggers drawn: killers! Run back home!
Jugglers are tired. Now they are grabbing fireballs.

Caught me, caught me, caught me with a line.
Caught me, caught me, caught me with a rhyme.
Hum daddy! Always. Somebody always cries.
Here and now, always cries. Here and now, always try!
Caught me. Hum daddy! Caught me with a line.
So many. And now you know what we get.
What you’re waiting for? Sing gently while you teach!
Caught me, caught me, caught me with a line.
Caught me, caught me, caught me with a rhyme.
Someone, always, somebody always cries.
Here and now, always cries. Here and now, always try!
Caught me, caught me, caught me with a line.
Caught me, caught me, caught me with a rhyme.
Some things, someone, sometimes don’t forget:
You are one hell of a man. Ever, you forgive. Never, you regret.
Caught them, fought them, caught them, bought them,
And shoved them all into a cage hanging two feet off the ground.
Shape mud and reign my dreams!
You’re wielding the dear sun like a fine gun.
Fell in. Praise the guide!
And wire comes in first. Man, open your heart!
Take a myriad of glittering grains,
Pile pebble on pebble, and I will swell with pride.
Fan the flames, and I will watch it burn.
Then raise a storm so I can stay calm.
Oh Count, the light intensifies.
The skies are amber when clouds drift by.
Stride on leaf-covered ground,
Soaked in mud, waving a log.
Wired beast. Glittering and crystalline.
Need some hypocrites, some who just melt away,
Swallowed, outshone by the brightness
Of an unforgiving, long-gone day.

Viaticum Winterthur, Switzerland
The four members of Viaticum, old friends since early youth, while meanwhile living wildly spread across Switzerland create soundscapes which cannot be categorized. They call their music Kosmikrock- deeply rooted in psychedelic Krautrock of the 1970s crossed with Spacerock and other genres with loud, playful and intense guitar riffs. ... more

Retro hard prog. It doesn’t get anymore authentic than this . This could be an actual krautrock compilation album from 1970 . Throw in a couple English bands for good measure .
