Nothing but Dust by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara published on 2022-02-11T07:01:58Z From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. // Nothing but Dust ‘Nothing but Dust’ addresses the theme of modern man’s search for his soul. The song revisits the ancient practice of desert hermitage as a means to confront and enrich one’s soul. The lyrics recall the sounds and semantics of the poems of the 13th c. Persian mystic, Rumi, while the music has Arabian influences. In this increasingly material world we live in, the song, to quote Jung, finds solace in the ‘desert of one's soul’ – through poetry and metal. ______________________________ // Purchase ‘Trust No Leaders‘ Album CD + Digital Download: ▸ tcomas.com/trust-no-leaders // Stream album on all platforms: ▸ tcomas.ffm.to/trustnoleaders ______________________________ LYRICS Alas It has begun The tempest It has begun The hour of my great contempt is here The day of my reckoning has come I must leave the warmness of this womb My spirit summons me on a journey You must let me go alone For my soul is now a barren desert My spirit carries me over vast lands I see nothing but sand and dust Chasms in the scorched earth Cracked open by a relentless sun I smell the death of hope in the air Heavy is the air In my solitude and silence I find my soul a lonely desert Alas It has begun The tempest Has finally begun Engulfed in the bosom of the storm A vortex of nothing but dust In the eye of the storm He sees He is just one of us In the eye of the storm He knows He is king of dirt and dust King of nothing King of dust King of nothing King of dust King of nothing King of dust He is nothing King of dust If I don't return Tell my story If I don't return You'll know I’m nothing but... For miles and miles He searches the sky With his eyes and with his heart He toiled from rags to riches To build a kingdom over sand and dust His lands Once a plenty Now barren fields of dirt and dust Gazing through his filth and despair But alas There is nothing but dust Alas! It has begun The tempest has finally begun Engulfed in the bosom of the storm A vortex of nothing but dust In the eye of the storm He sees He is just one of us In the eye of the storm He knows He is king of dirt and dust King of nothing King of dust King of nothing King of dust King of nothing King of dust He is nothing King of... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ � About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara Hailed as “pioneers of a new form of expression” through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy) who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, which they released on 26 February 2021. The duo draws inspiration from many sources stemming from Tool through to Kraftwerk and Russian Circles, as well as absorbing the poetry of Virginia Woolf and Jim Morrison in their lyrics and ‘poetry performance’. TCOMAS's music strives to fill a gap in music by bringing literature and history together into an arena where rock and metal meets electronica.Their musical and lyrical themes are very much rooted in the duo’s interests in classical literature and theatre, as well as in the fields of philosophy, history, and psychology. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Connect With The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara: ‣ Official Website & Shop: https://tcomas.com ‣ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2V3zzIcq2sbRbaEjbGypc8 ‣ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tcomas.music ‣ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tcomasmusic ‣ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tcomasmusic © 2021 The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara / TCOMAS Music #NothingbutDust #TrustNoLeaders #TheChroniclesofManimalandSamara #TCOMAS #TCOMASMUSIC Genre Rock Comment by arko02 Loved the music happening in the background, loved the spoken words! 2024-05-10T09:58:37Z Comment by Zantedeskia Like the guitar tones ans riffs here, nice clean parts 2024-05-09T07:55:43Z Comment by Hernon The guitar in this is so good ! 2024-05-08T16:08:40Z Comment by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara @adrian-landers-1: Thank you!
