"Todeserfahrung" is a composition from the Οία series, which so far has only seen the release of "Checkpoint Charlie" (please see the video!).
This track, like "Checkpoint Charlie" features a 45 member string orchestra (live) recorded in the at Dvořák Hall in the Czech Republic, alongside ethereal vocals, ambient keyboards and effects and a dynamic electronic drum arrangement. It is definitely the most electronic influenced Ghost Against Ghost release thus far, but is unique in how it combines contemporary classical elements with an electronic and ambient influences.
lyrics
Todeserfahrung
by Ghost Against Ghost
Verse. 1
Close to dying,
The rhythms flowing out.
Cancer rising,
Desire, pulled us underground
Whatever happened to,
Whatever happened to,
The way you called,
Come into my Iso-heart.
Whatever happened to,
The day you saw,
My image in your Iso-heart.
BRIDGE
Am I sensing darkness sail,
Am I caught afterlife.
Swimming through the mistakes of my crimes.
Verse 2
Slowly sliding
An Easy in and out,
Endless dowsing,
To find the river love requires.
Heaven was in my hands,
Heaven was in my plans,
until you caused,
this crevice in my Iso-heart.
Heaven was in my hands,
Until it caused,
This silence in my iso heart...
OUT:
Hold Our Love In Equal Parts….
REPEAT and VARIATIONS
High Voice:
Close to dying,
Slowly Sliding,
Low Voice:
(Over the Edge of Lovers)
High Voice:
Close to dying,
Slowly Gliding,
Low Voice:
(Into the Dusk Forever)
Over the Edge of, The Dusk Forever,
Over the Edge, Over the Edge of,
The Dusk,
Into the Dusk Forever.
