Dream One
Cold in Berlin
Dream One I'm falling Dream Two I'm calling your name Dream three I wake but nothing ever feels the same Dream four I'm soaring above the city in the dead of the day Dream five I am wicked, I'm wasted, I'm wasting away Dream six I'm dying Dream seven Repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats Dream eight I am useless, I'm worthless, I'm just out of reach Dream nine I'm praying to the goddess I'm on my knees Dream ten I'm delicious, disgusting, and eager to please Dream One I'm falling Dream Two I'm calling your name Dream three I wake but nothing ever feels the same And why don't you wake me up? Why don't you you wake me up? If nothing is the same.

Spotlight
Cold in Berlin
Over and over again Over and over again Over and over again Over and over again Moonlight as spotlight Darkness and music with friends Oh god is this the last time Barefoot at midnight Dancing on rooftop and then She unfolds my ending Yes this is the last time Over and over again Over and over again Dance slowly pretend That this is not the last time Dance slowly pretend That this is not the last time Praying through moonlight Laughing through darkness and then She writes out her ending In praise of the last time Soaring from rooftop Dreaming those endings and then Left with her ending Thank gods for the last time Over and over again Over and over again Dance slowly pretend That this is not the last time Dance slowly pretend That this is not the last time Darkness will descend Give praise to the ending Darkness will descend Give praise to the ending Over and over again Over and over again Over and over again Give praise to the ending

When Did You See Her Last?
Cold in Berlin
When did you see her last Was she holding that photograph Was she dressed head to toe in white Those red rings around her eyes Did she tell you that she hated you Did you know it was the last time Did you know it was the last time I can't control this pain It's getting louder day by day It's raging round my rib cage I'll never let her leave me again When did you see her last Was she standing in line for the ticket Was she dressed head to toe in black With those dark lines around her eyes Did she tell you that she hated you Those flowers in her left hand Those flowers in her left hand I can't control this pain It's getting louder day by day It's raging round my rib cage I'll never let her leave me again

'The Body is the Wound' EP is the first new material from the band since the lauded 2019 album Rituals of Surrender.

While Rituals ‘crushing doom laden riffs… assaulted the speakers with its steady pulse of noise’ (Narc magazine), this new collection of songs feature a more diverse set of audio weaponry, firing crunchy synthesiser stabs at razor-sharp guitar riffs to create a hypnotic and inventive vehicle with which to carry vocalist Maya’s gothic poetry.

The lyrical themes dance around sex, murder, suicide and broken dreams, brought together in loose storytelling that allows listeners to add their own experiences and bring personal meaning.
