Sort it by Name

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 Most historical references to the belief and symbolism of the first wave of Stoor Dödhin (black death of Sweden) come from studying this single source.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

Searching
The planes of the mind
Never-ending
The consequence of lies

Burning
Desire for a life
Of easing
The friction of the strife

Say its name
Mortal
Father
Distortion

This isn't the end
A calamity of Godsend
Accelerate and come into ascent
Limbo of the innocent
Will there ever be an end to this

A callous heart
To the warmth of kin
The darkest times
To the light of dawn
A thousand knives
To the test of time
stands no chance
We have a lifetime
So give it this
Feed it blood
Sort it by name
And sacrifice your love for warmth,
distortion and safety in evasion

Take callous truth
In return
Acceptance, though it burns
I know it does
