It’s the first first official single from Yugen Blakrok's upcoming album The Illusion of Being to be released on 21 May, produced by Kanif the Jhatmaster, out on I.O.T Records.

Osiris
And you will call us by our own names...
When you're floundering under the skin
A trillion atoms are just holding it together
That's the power within
Take the energy they break you with
And harness it as building blocks
To big yourself up again
You're only scared until you're not
Your stomach knots unless you know
The seed of fear is only thought
Don't let it be a living god
You're the beginning and the end
Of every war you've ever fought
You'll weather storms
And a monsoon will never move you
If the force is strong enough within the roots
And you'll branch out with fingers trembling
Ideas on the tips of them
Budding in little shoots
You're the unseen manifesto
The future of your origins
The big bang's last echo
This is an alchemy the self knows
What light's good to follow
And what shadow you should let go
So separate the waters child
I know you've seen the reaper smile
I bet you've never heard him cry
Teach the pupil in your iris
To navigate crises as soon as they materialise
Let your mind's eye see through lies
Like ectoplasm that's the exorcist inside
And all the strife that persists
Will crumble into ashes
Be a phoenix when you rise
And they will call us by our own names
Call us how the call rain
No bickering like old days
We've been showing out since Stone Age
Glitter we got gold veins
Precious in unknown ways
And you will call us by our own names
Call us how the call rain
No bickering like old days
We've been showing out since Stone Age
Glitter we got gold veins
Precious in unknown ways
When tears flood the eyelids
And no spell can bind them
Don't ever stop shining
Stay guided in the darkest depths
You give every cloud a silver lining
The light inside that powers you
Is even more brilliant
Than goldmines and diamonds
But separation from the self
Is the quickest way of dying
There'll be no moment of silence
So rise like Osiris with spine like iron
When they threaten you with violence
Build empires like mayans
Connect to Earth like your name was Psilocybin
Show you how to dodge these low frequencies
Nobody can touch you when you vibrate at your highest
Entire worlds might collapse; might be brimstone and ashes
Be a phoenix when you rise
And they will call us by our own names
Call us how the call rain
No bickering like old days
We've been showing out since Stone Age
Glitter we got gold veins
Precious in unknown ways
And you will call us by our own names
Call us how the call rain
No bickering like old days
We've been showing out since Stone Age
Glitter we got gold veins
Precious in unknown ways
