lyrics

Si nibe yaa si mhantaar

We’ve come to watch
Through holy blocks
Obruni’s play
with their robots that
Hover round
a working crowd
As children shake
to unusual sounds
What can you make this?

Si nibe yaa si mhantaar
Why are you here?
Si nibe yaa si mhantaar
What do you hear?
Si nibe yaa si mhantaar
Where do you feel it?

In cloud machines
To canvas seas
He beats our tale
On wooden keys
Here in time
A school bells chimes
As picture stream
To cooler climes
Look what we’ve made from this

How have we done it?

Si nibe yaa si mhantaar
Why are you here?
Si nibe yaa si mhantaar
What do you hear?
Si nibe yaa si mhantaar
Where do you feel the one?

A Shoal of Souls
by Yazz Ahmed

supported by 5 fans who also own “Mhantaar”

Yazz Ahmed's music never fails to impress! This song (the title is the same as the 2nd disc of La Saboteuse) fits perfect to the previous album and combines a great song structure with many themes and rhythms with a trippy and high quality sound. I hope there'll come another album soon! StrangeFlow
