about

The doldrums of a year of self-isolating and l'appel du vide are explored. (The call of the void.)

lyrics

NEPTUNE KNOWS / L'appel du vide:

Days on the ocean
Ten without food
Wind catches sail whenever it choose
Certainly moving to where Neptune knows
Fed by the moonlight, giddy we roam

Days on the ocean
Or has it been years?
Stuck in the doldrums
A lingering fear
No longer mortal we've gone beyond time
Fed by the moonlight, giddy we roam

To where the Gods chose

(Siren:
"Qu'est-ce que tu veux? Qu'entends-tu? L'appel du vide?")

Days on the ocean
Or has it been years
Stuck in the doldrums
A lingering fear
Certainly moving to where Neptune knows
Fed by the moonlight, giddy we roam

To where the Gods chose
(Where Neptune knows)
