Run for survival, towards freedom
A girl hunted through the dark must escape these demons
Lost souls crowding eerie streets with death in their eyes
Far away the wall of mist hangs from a blackened sky
My downfall could come if I reside here forever
But this is all I know - do I dare surrender?
Bracing myself for what comes next
Frantically searching for a way
To reach the other side
I hope and pray
Haunting figures reappear
Heart’s pounding out of rhythm
I refuse to succumb
No, I won’t give in
Oh, I dread to be lost in a…
Labyrinth (Labyrinth)
Trapped by this wasteland, entangled in a maze
Labyrinth (Labyrinth)
Must be more to life than this forsaken place
Suddenly screams of terror sear through my mind
Their calls are so familiar, their pain I recognise
Fighting back tears, with horrors in my head
Eventually the sounds disperse to nothing - left petrified
Under cover of night, laying low, so silent
In scattered remains of what stood before
Imprisoned in a haze, a place ready to meet its end
Is there more danger round the bend?
Wait - what do I see?
A flickering glow lies beyond the mist
Before me I’m shown what could be my guide
Conflicted I wonder if fate chose for me
To stay here or journey far and wide
"Charge into the unknown to salvation
Whatever you do, don’t look back"

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed. Trebör

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black

A beautiful and haunting EP. I hope Marjana continues to produce material like this, in addition to her work in iamthemorning and the newly-formed Maer collaboration with Anna Murphy. Eleventh Earl of Blah
The haunting music of Morita Vargas floats her heavily manipulated voice over hypnotic rhythms from the kalimba, the cajón, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2020
A haunting, beautiful, autobiographical record that uses samples of old gospel records to wrestle with faith and unbelief. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2021
An esoteric and eerie live performance from multi-instrumentalist J.P. Shilo conjures up haunting images with a multitude of dark tones. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2021
