DESCRIPTION:
Reflections of Somber times is an album which tells the story of the human spirit's journey through the end of time. It depicts the story of mankinds relationship with the earth, and the dependency we have for the energy and spirit of all living things. A love story about the end of time, and how no matter what happens love is strong. Even in the end of times, this energy of love can be more powerful than the energies of darkness. We either deal and receive positive or negative energies, and all of this is connected through the human aura, spirit, mind and consciousness.

The lyrics have a double meaning, two stories in one essentially. The first, being a love story and becoming one with the person you love, during the end of existence. The second, being the relationship between man and nature, and the experience of the earth destroying all life to become new again...the ouroboros.
