from MCCCL by CARTESIAN

	/

Booklet containing the lyrics and concept pre-meditations behind each song, essential in following the story behind 'MCCCL'.

Intercession by Alexander: "In preperation for writing this concept album I read 'Digerdöden, pestvågor och ödeläggelse: ett perspektiv på senmedeltidens Sverige' (Janken Myrdal, 2003). Most historical references to the belief and symbolism of the first wave of Stoor Dödhin (black death of Sweden) come from studying this single source. The lyrics and backstory segments often leak into and rely on one another to build the full storyline, sampling the way the main characters dreams leak into his experience of the mortifyingly dark place and time that is Stoor Dödhin. Although there are several layers of subject to the concept behind 'MCCCL', it is most of all a celebration of victory in battles with mental illness, although all can never be won. In the same respect this work goes out to anyone who refuses to stop fighting those battles for themselves and/or loved one's."

lyrics

Blackened fingertips
Skin of boiling cysts
Finality in flesh
Deterioration

We put ourselves in these
Beds of the deathly sick
The time has come to pay our debts
By and to Big Death

Lead us
Dance of Death

Fin
Of days
Of bloodline
Of love
Of all that we know

We hope to die
With each other at our sides
As feathers in her wind
Godspeed

We wither and hide
In a home unoccupied
She's untouched by our sin
She must live

Yet we live and die alone
