I 04:30
The Winter sun combed in light, aside the grey burning of a forest left soon to die we pass through night and continue mourning to the shores and the moorland of our hearts from black, to grey, and back again we bracken worlds we can’t defend Is this the end?

II 02:56
I hold myself under the water until I can’t stand to breathe normally just for a second of peace easily, guided by the waves into a calm and serene sleep a torment waits dormant in the doorway of my dreams so easily, I fall and can’t seem to see that I’ll drift forever on the waves out to sea No… I won’t tread this water anymore Just let me No… I won’t tread this water anymore just let me Drown

III 02:43
I aim for sun I sink below the waves and I don’t come out until I’ve drown and it’s night again I wade through tide of a dark beckoning until I’ve found what I’m looking for there can be no relief I aim for the sun But I can’t see beyond the night’s crashing over me there can be no release Until I’m calm Until I’m found among the weeds the grow through the house and strip in down to the earth again to the place where we pretend to walk along the path we were born and see nothing But I can’t resign to have the waves crashing over me again, and again, and again, and again, and a - I fell the forest just to find the splinters deep in me

IV 04:24
My Life. Minuscule islands in the midst of a black sea lost under an empty sky covered by uniform waters The tireless whisper stopped angst erupted. silence is. There will be no dawn. Nothing exists anymore but this dream of death exists to not know anything anymore to not know the weight of my body but I live And I know I will never stop knowing What If I fall? What If I fall apart? It takes the wind from my lungs and pulls me under the waves over take me again and I can’t be I find my breath but it’s not me I stand at last but sink below Where is my home? I wander on but the spirit leaves me I am passing on what have I become I sink below where do I belong I am passing on Where is the death that I have won I sink below and in the ocean I find a home Waves break it’s the tension that holds in all of our hearts what if I fall? Waves break it’s the tension that holds in all of our hearts What If I fall apart? Waves break (we fall apart) It’s the tension that holds (in all of our hearts) what if I fall Waves break (we break apart) It’s the tension that holds (in all of our hearts) What if i fall apart?

Reviews:
"Fire Meridian/An Ocean shows us that there is life in current electro(nic) industrial besides techno-industrial and power electronics. Names like SØLVE and The Blood Of Others revitalize a genre which has become a cliche by learning from the past without aping it and following their own muse. And, most important, they give a purpose and sense to their music going well beyond simple style. You can find actual songwriting here, a narrative with emotional takes and a human soul behind the machines."
