MY SOUL WOULD SING of metamorphoses, but since, oh gods, you were the cause of these bodies becoming other bodies, breathe your breath out through my voice so may the songs I sing be seamless as its ways will weave the time out though the world’s BEGIN! And I’m falling down on this backlit shadow I’ll enunciate so the light will follow my lead my tongue reaches out laying down logic, time is shallow I’ll emancipate from the sky and follow my will high is now the end! Hide this signs for another! as I’m diving in reaching out behind me is a word I stutter far beyond the fall being smothered Wake up torn again, hotter fall back down into despair all the tedious shouting on my all the visions of high handed selfish shut eye brothers yeah wake up run again on air fall back down in one another! And hide this signs for another! as I’m diving in reaching out behind me is a word I stutter far beyond the fall being smothered hide this signs from my other…Brother! Far beyond the fall begins another end

Every time I lie every time you try unconfined I’m wandering through the earth, hole. Envision my uncontrolled proliferation time can fake it all now, we must pray for nobody so our minds fall into numbed elation I will take you home we’ll all soon be one It’s coming in, I’m changing the turn of the weather and centuries Such a false end this has been on… Me Here we are down with our sins and our souls! No I can’t go back again, for I’m all about bringing a little bit of our end Every time I die every time you try unconfined I’m wandering through the earth, hole. It’s coming in, I’m changing the turn of the weather and centuries Here we are down with our sins and our souls! No I can’t go back again, for I’m all about bringing a little bit of our end

Break the silence keep telling me your latest vice please tell it in a way that I can understand Break the silence and call it off as you haven’t been awaken as you haven’t been away for long Break your tyrant inhibitions as you haven’t seen my ways and as you haven’t seen the latest lies I understand and this vice is my way of life, my resurrection and my doom my feast and I leave this up to you so Wake up, wake up wake up to my taunting lie and then bring it around to something you understand Break the silence and call it off as you haven’t been awaken as you haven’t been away for long keep telling you to break the silence keep telling me your latest vice please tell it in a way that I can for once get it, I get it, I understand so Wake up, wake up wake to my taunting lie and then bring it around to something you understand. I wanna see it all for myself again give on to my arms give it up, give it up and shout it out! I wanna see it all for myself again give on to my arms give it up, give it up and shout it out!

I can see back we have fallen into blindness and violence endless die and kill dithering the way of silence, but violence ends now hiding in thy hallow name the key to end our wallowing the time is perfect so violence ends now hiding in thy hallow name the key to end our wallowing the time is perfect so violence ends now far away! Send to me this satellite got me high and lost, wild animal I’m in this brightness and blinded like cloudless sun, uncovered eyes now do you recall my loving lie? say this loudly so violence ends now but impatiently we let a lie overcome the sun and force this never ending violence but silence ends now far away! And far away! I can see you far away! Send to me this satellite… Far away

Coming outside of this plane, humble, coming inside of this plane, perfect at last Deep inside, deep inside Closing inside, I said, “This is something I don’t quite recognize” then you threw me and tempt me away begged, “Please hold me, patiently, hold your flight” Tell me you haven’t seen anything quite like this in your past creations, of everything, the never seen and all the wonderful visions of me and you as me Let me inside, let me inside, let me inside, let me inside look at me now, there must be something you haven’t seen, let me inside, let me inside, let me inside, let me inside I’m your whole and wings That’s what they told us oh yes they told me you were gone, forever killed your way out of here “Mahound, fake this murders for me” Coming outside of this plane, humble, coming inside of this plane perfect at least, patiently, hold your flight Let me inside, let me inside, let me inside, let me inside look at me now, there must be something you haven’t seen so let me inside, let me inside, let me inside, let me inside I’m your whole and tell me you haven’t seen, anything quite like this in your past lives oh you gotta fight me, gotta fight me, gotta fight me, gotta fight me, or I’ll stay, or I’ll kill, or I’ll…

It’s setting fast inside of me, foresee, beware, stop, rise or we’ll never ever be apart empty silently apart you see, I am the one you thought could be killed, lied, deceived, to get you high as this colliding light reaching up no matter what but the truth… Is, this place, holds the false, rise you always dream about but if you, face the truth, friend you should yield and let me be the one It’s late to see what happens every time we get to collide! It’s late but not impossible wait to see what happens every time we get to collide! Wake up now you gotta go I am the one, I am the one you thought you could never ever be apart empty silently apart you see, I am the one, the only one who’ll get you as high as this colliding light reaching up no matter what but the truth… It’s late to see what happens every time we get to collide! It’s late but not impossible wait to see what happens every time we get to collide! Wake up now you gotta go now you know, now you know, let go!

Take, them away! Come take them out of my arms and out of my head and break, them away! Come take them out on my arms and out of my head Ways of devotion take me away we are the last ones you thought will be drifting away in the name of, in the name of faith in my arms, in my arms, In my arms! Just break, them away! Come take them out of my arms and out of my head and take, them away! Come take them out of my arms and out of my head I’ll be gone, I’ll be going somewhere you haven’t even though of I’ll be gone, I’ll be going somewhere you won’t bleed I’ll be gone, In some ways you haven’t even though of and I’ll be gone in some ways you haven’t even thought of!

In this practical suicide we have set our faith and ascended where the light ends where the life… In this practical suicide we have placed our faith to resent this fate in silence, when the life… In practical suicide we have bet our destiny only to get back to that place we started on I recognize this was my little leap of faith, inconsequent, desperate will to emancipate from this hole. I recognize I’m not brave enough, wise enough, child enough, alive enough, am I enough for you now my friend? Now we go back can you recognize? All the times we have made it tell me: I’m I still your friend? Am I myself? This is terrible, inconceivable, hiding here on my own mythical lies, and this is terrible, inconceivable, hiding here on my own mythical lies, but all is well, all is well, everything, everything’s well. Henceforth, I decide to try it all again! And all is well now.

about

And the Elephants is a five piece rock band from Santiago, Chile. Started on 2010, with two self-released EP, their first LP "The Procession" is the result of almost three years in search of a more unique and personal sound by the band.
Moving further into the emotional, riff packed, dynamic proposal from some of their first songs, this album demands your attention from start to finish in order to capture the full range of its sound and the full extent of the story behind it.
