about

The first single from Viriditas' 2nd album 'Green Mars', due to be finished mid-2020.

lyrics

In the solitary sands
I see a man all dressed in white,
undaunted by the overbearing sun
Hands uplifted to the air
A dervish spinning madly,
with the feverish viridity of life

Divine chanting fills the air
In a language I don't recognise,
I feel the message find me anyway
Encumbered and amazed
The old man reaches out to me,
and this is what he says

The Spinner said to me to
Take my eyes off what's to come
and spin around
To look into the now and
join the ritual of the endless summer
A rite of ancient melodies and sound

Pay attention to your path
The old man utters wisely,
as he ushers me upon my merry way
Walk towards the real
And with that the vision disappeared,
his words resounding in my head

The Spinner said to me to
take my eyes off what's to come
and spin around
To look into the now and
join the ritual of the endless summer
A rite of ancient melodies and sound

Can't take it, can't work it out
My mind has just begun, to unravel, drifting

The Spinner said to me to
take my eyes off what's to come
and spin around
To look into the now and
join the ritual of the endless summer
A rite of ancient melodies and sound

The Spinner said to me that
this adventure is the path to Tariqa
And if we join our hands our silhouette
Will reach the distant stars
That light the path revealing who we are
