Metropolis, Mother Sphinx

Inspired by my poem: "embala-me em teu berço absurdo", read this and other poems at olhoabsurdo.blogspot.com [Instrumental Intro - Ethereal synth pads, soft celtic harp, distant strings] [Vocalizing - Angelic female choir chanting "Ah-oh-rah"] Of concrete and smoke Your ferns on the slopes [Chorus - Majestic, multi-layered female choir harmony] Metropolis, I call you mother, But you are a sphinx And I cannot decipher you, Devour me [Instrumental Break - Celtic flute, soft piano, deep timpani drum] You remind me of the forest Your singular music Your chaotic song Lulls me to sleep [Chorus - Majestic, multi-layered female choir harmony] Metropolis, I call you mother, But you are a sphinx And I cannot decipher you, Devour me Amidst cars, televisions, visions, And machines. I am your bastard son Unwanted Cast aside in a corner [Chorus - Majestic, multi-layered female choir harmony] Metropolis, I call you mother, But you are a sphinx And I cannot decipher you, Devour me. [Outro - Fading ethereal vocals, echoing synth pads, slow fade out] [End]
