Existence 03:36
"Come closer, Child" Through foul air she smiled Dissembling everything but a breeze Silent, tremble, pale release I'm the last tear of a drained well Chasing an echo of her existence Sunken in a polar embrace With a never birthed grace

Essence 12:07
A rootless tree floats on the corner sea Spilling resin through the Watcher's foal I endlessly gaze the sky's lethargy Where all the stars fall too far from home Then, he whispers my name as the wind blows cold Giving me shivers that stain red on my bones They keep me chained to a past still untold This guilt has no road Hey, I whisper his name as the wind blows cold Giving him shivers that stain red in his bones I keep him chained to a past still untold I just want to Choke you for your life That moment for your life Choke you for your life That moment for your life I know that something is missing from my day Something that stains red on this portray But how can I ever leave this place? Fly high over your old kind Go and dive into the spiral course glow That you see in her eyes A serenade echoes over Our half-empty hearse The hymn of a loner Or prelude of remorse? I'm wiping tears while I rise for my ride A blend of commotion As the night's final tide

There was light upon a strait white hole Where rain fell before the gathering of the clouds Flaming drops from a crimson shade sky They froze me, I don't know why You fainted into my own bloodstream One by one, each vein became tighter Like the stale moss from an old forest Vanishing from a thin root to dust I know nothing but I felt it all Cold and shapeless but still as one "Watcher, leave this Child alone Carry me, wait until she has grown" In my mind, I heard her only words "Be kind and mourn without fright But do not spare them from your inner burst If your will is right"

about

'1808' is the debut EP and the first half of a concept album by Omie Wise (Braga, Portugal). The story, which explores themes of personal isolation and Sartre's existentialism, follows the main character's journey into a dreamlike reality, deeply troubled by the early loss of his twin sister. The music alternates between a dense progressive rock and a mysterious psychedelic folk, which serves as a metaphor for the contrast between reality and dreams that marks the concept.

All music by Omie Wise. All lyrics and concept by Fábio Pinto.
