Artist: HUMANWINE
Album: aether (terra)
Song: Bismuth
Lyrics:
See our veins
Rushing blur
Wish a slither round a coffin keeper
Faraday
Sound Blood
We ain’t leaving till we’re covered in mud
Keep takin' up my heart, love
Keep lockin' up my stare
Keep takin' up my heart, love
We’re playin' inside of a Nightmare
Fade away
No luck
We’re a couple of unstoppable fox
Disobey
Discuss
Send an army if you want to stop us
Keep takin' up my heart, love
Keep lockin' up my stare
Keep takin' up my heart, love
we’re playin' inside of a Nightmare
Sip the Flame
Outright
Writ of right
We’re dining in a cave tonight
Break a pace
Freestyle
Will a magnet on the face of all in single file
Keep takin' up my heart, love
Keep lockin' up my stare
Keep takin' up my heart, love
We’re playin' inside of a Nightmare
Alleyway
Scrape by
Tongue tied take the time to see third eye to eye
Keep takin' up my heart, love
Keep lockin' up my stare
Keep takin' up my heart, love
We’re playin' inside of a Nightmare

Album: aether (aqua)
Song: Submerge
Lyrics:
Alive alive
we are
Why don’t we
go down to where the river
bends a knee?
A found forever in an
aqua seed a rusted relic
from a far away gone dream
Alive alive
we are
We're splashing
into the surface
of what we can see
So let’s go deeper
and we’ll be just be
It is a dream and we can
breathe beneath the water
Alive alive
we are

aer: White Lead
03:38
|
|||
Artist: HUMANWINE
Album: aether (aer)
Song: White Lead
Lyrics:
The lead is placed in a vessel
within a vessel filled with vinegar
Another vessel filled with sugar, water and yeast is placed in a room
The room is closed so the action can happen
It takes weeks
Replace the vinegar every 29 days
Replace the yeast compound when the water stops bubbling
The yeast is dead
The white lead hand held the raven and the Raven held the key
The combined action of the acetic acid vapors,
heat and carbon dioxide from the yeast consuming the sugar
and water vapor in the air
slowly transforms the lead into basic lead carbonate
The white powder breaks off in sheets
and is scraped from the remaining lead
Replace the yeast compound when the water stops bubbling
The yeast is dead
Repeat this process until the lead completely dissolves
into white powder
Fall off away
In a larger vessel place the coarse white powder,
a mixing medium - such as rocks and water
Stir this mixture for several hours and strain
Shed the layers of you
Shed the layers of you - you are trapped by
What subsides to the bottom of the vessel is ceruse
It’s dried, mixed with oil and ready for you to use
One is all is all
is one is all
Shed the layers of you
Shed the Layers of You
The white lead hand held the raven and the Raven held the key
Lead changes the shape of the protein molecule
so that it cannot perform its task
Lead accumulates in the body
which makes it difficult to ascertain which levels are safe
because the answer is;
none
Lead can be found in
Ceramics, paints, Soil, lipstick, mascara, rouge, blush,
hair dye, foundation, cream, water pipes, food cans,
crystal glassware, car batteries, solder, gasoline,
insecticides, pewter, stained glass windows, vinyl co...

Artist: HUMANWINE
Album: aether (ignis)
Song: Soot
Lyrics:
The salted air is waiting for you
You cover all your sores with perfume
You’re making clothing for your Hollywood Apocalypse
Laughing like the water falling of my back
Laughing like the fire falling of my back
Laughing like the water falling of my back
Laughing like the fire falling of my back
Delusion of comfort!
The illusion of care!
The searing plasma holds your arm
Your other prophets found their way home
What was so night clear in the evening
lost its way
A dry throat aching
You had enough
You had enough
You had enough
holding on
It’s not your trust
Not your trust
you’ve been acting on
Illusion of comfort
or of care
or ability to put your whole being
in another’s hands
They don’t know you
You didn’t care
You didn’t come prepared
You didn’t take the lessons
You didn’t respect the way
It doesn’t mean
it has to be
the end for you
This is a lesson

Song: Depmos
Lyrics:
Pichete was walking in the woods at night and found to her excitement no one was in sight with nobody watching
she jumped in the Amu Lake deep into the Amu lake to tell her secret.
{Secret}

And Pichete wasn’t the first one to do this
There were many others waiting in the Amu Lake
The too on a full moon
went into the forest
Deep into the Amu Lake
to tell their secret
{Secret}
Pichete was walking in the woods at night and found to her excitement no one was in sight with nobody watching
she jumped in the Amu Lake deep into the Amu lake to tell her secret.

Album: aether (aqua)
Song: Gyre
Lyrics:
Five liquid houses
are our home
Where ‘er our calling
‘round whispering globe
Tell me - Tell me what you see
Come on - Show me
Show me where you’ve been
I want to be where
where water is clean
and the tide rises up
to dance with me
echo echo
Show me show me
what you see
skimming the surface
debris debris debris
How?!
And When we take
it back
A floating Mass
of blasted plastic
They’re are 8 continents
if you
count
our
trash
echo echo
Five liquid houses
are our home
Where ‘er our calling
‘round whispering globe
Tell me - Tell me what you see
Come on - Show me
Show me where you’ve been
I want to be where
where water is clean
and the tide rises up
to dance with me

Album: aether (ignis)
Song: Flowers of Sulphur
Lyrics:
The seeds of oppression
are woven in the quilts
of our ancestors
Behold your oppressor
looks bigger
when you’re lying on the ground
looking up at them
Dethrone your oppressor
who is bigger when you’re lying on the ground
They’re looking down
Go on, go on, get up, get up!
Up off your knees!
Go on, go on, get up, get up
And face your fear!
The seeds of oppression are
woven in the quilt
of our ancestors
They passed ‘em down
Go on, go on, get up, get up!
Up off your knees!
Go on, go on, get up, get up
And face your fear!
excerpt from Mario Savio’s speech on the steps of Sprout Hall (UC Berkeley) 2 December 1964:
“There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels…upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!”
fun fact: this was the speech that inspired me to design our “wrench in the Works” symbol in 2000.

Album: aether (terra)
Song: Fallow
Lyrics:
We sailed our seed around the world
We left our fortunes underwater
Reduced to bone and gold
Our stories left without a Mother
Who my Deity?
You my Deity?
ALL ONE!
We sailed our seed around the world
We left our fortunes underwater
And though the fire scorched the Earth
our blood amends the fields lain fallow
Who my Deity?
You my Deity?
ALL ONE!

A waking solace
Sound the call of possibility again
and far be your reaches
past the beaches of the sane
to where
stranglings sing out songs
that can not be named
and the farthest we can go
is where we've ever been!
Visite me
sob o mar
Ou les incendies
sont en feu
Far beneath the waves
is this place!

Album: aether (terra)
Song: Root
Lyrics:
The weight of our heads on our shoulders a magnetic pull towards grace
Flesh shedding blood on its way - a boneyard of retro display
And the bruised hunks of skin no longer moved by the wind
lead to X marks the spot
Crow collect the toll from these time eaten frames
Mixing dust with dust while cawing new names
Kin on a tightrope hum a 'carpe diem' tune
I've paid the murder and they brought me to you
At this time I stand before you with no regrets
I burnt this map of memories - yes
Pointing to X marks the spot
I have all I want at X marks the spot

Lyrics:
Remember with me

Every language has its own tone
Every layer is its own colour
Every colour its own song
Nn each place
each being and shape
has its own way to say
Every layer is its own story
and the story moves along
Living in rows
Dying in rows
The rose of the world
Look at your garden
what does it grow?

Song: Kill A Stone
Lyrics:
I knew a fish
who cried more than she meant it
She met an awful fate
and spoke in tonic accents
Her friends told her BEWARE
still she didn’t give a care
One fathom at a time
toward the feigned abundant
Her heart was hard to please
It was some kind of disease
We found her body there
beneath the Dragon Market
Who fears a face
so bravely painted
one long day
tintown the inner harvest
Kill a stone
and who’ll be near?
One call for the
girl who sang at the Dragon Market!
Seed in a far away home
all array of one!
I knew a fish
of all who are
dreaming
When I found you
I stand screaming,
“I knew a fish
of all who are
dreaming!”

Lyrics:
Air don’t care
what nation’s flags
it waves all banners
just the same
The air don’t care
whose mouth it feeds
it fills the lungs
of enemies
and families
the same
We’re all kin
Air don’t see
your territories or
properties or
lines of man
Air don’t care
what breath it serves
will be your last
or be your first
out at death
and in at birth
We’re all kin
The air don’t care for
the troubles of man
Air will bring you
xylyl bromide
lead and carbon monoxide
Air will bring you
supernovas
breath of ancients
flowing through us
Air will bring you
churning vortices
decaying autumn breeze
petrichor and memories
We’re all kin
The air don’t care for
the troubles of man

Song: Core
Lyrics:
Mom is in the corner
slumped
a cigarette burning
Dad is on the couch
asleep
watching the TV
Gotta get some food
in this house
Gotta turn on the heat
I’ll be turning 10
tomorrow
The oldest of 3
Someone’s gotta
keep us all alive
It’s up to me
Someone’s gotta
keep us all alive
It’s up to me
I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
And if I go
you’ve got to stay
we’ll be
together one day
The cold
it bites
the mind
A raging
sadness grows
They say I’m not
capable
I’ve tried to
show them
I’ve tried to
tell them
but they won’t see
I’m doing this on my own
without them
Trust me
you are not alone
you are not alone
you are not alone
you are not alone
And if I go
you’ve got to stay
we’ll be
together one day
Stood outside with a sign
I made
asking the city for
their spare change
I got enough for a
loaf of bread
Started again the next day
after bed
An older girl I met while she
was playing guitar
told me she’d
give me lessons
so I could earn more
It’s been a couple months
I’m getting good
enough to get us on our feet
while Mom is in
the corner drunk
and Dad is on
the couch asleep
I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
And if I go
you’ve got to stay
we’ll be
together one day

fall from the trees
Red and Gold
blanket the ground
Tiptoe softly
out in the woods
Me and coyote
won’t make a sound
We’re looking for a reason
to be loud
Following the footprints
in the ground
On guard!
Keep the wind at your back
On guard!
Prepare for an attack
On guard!
Sleep in the rain
On guard!

I see you fancy the dancing
You’re dancing around
what you know is the truth
Yes
You’re spinning and whirling
Your world is unfurling
You used to be fighting
for what you believe
You’re too good to give up
You’re not going out like this
'hard life' and 'you are doomed'
You say we are pawns
in this chess
bored of life
We all know what
happens when
they reach
the other side
We are going to
the other side
We are going to
the other side
We are going to
the other side
Fall on your face
and you’ll hear
angels sing!
We are going to
the other side
We are going to
the other side
We are going to
the other side
Fall on your face
and you’ll hear

HUMANWINE
"HUMANWINE is music that dances between raindrops, sending up green shoots between the broken cobblestones of folk, punk,
and open revolt. It is a soundtrack to broken rules and mutant genres, evoking a world that skips over the Age of Oil and all its cruelties, stitching together a patchwork of past and future, a do-it-yourself apocalypse that is strangely utopian."
