A Threnody 06:38
O’ dreary night my heart collapsed, The dread of a new dawn formed daunting traps. O’ lifeless night I can hear the fear groaning. The threat of the end is frightening. I will mend every rhyme, leaving it all behind. I will mend every rhyme, and someday I will be defined. In this absence of promises, truth is being held as hostage. Cast away the enlightenment to guide us through this winding maze. I will mend every rhyme, leaving it all behind. I will mend every rhyme (repeat) I will be defined.

Following the shadows cast by doubt and fright. To undo the dark crater in sight. A passage to conquer what I fear, before the decaying dreams come near. The gentle voices resounding, they sing a song I used to sing. Guide me home to where I belong. Bask me in your light’s embrace. The last ray of the sun brings all the regrets aligned. Forced to recall the memories behind. With the swarm of sadness in the palm of my hand I cleanse the malady of a man. I will soar unto the clouds, with a symphony of the bleakest light I will soar unto the clouds, in a symphony of the fearless night I come along and let them sing (repeat)

TRAVERSAL 04:41
Rumination overcrowded emptiness. Fragile form incurred. Constructing rage out of faith’s domain reigns over the fear within. “imprisoned and undeserved” Reciting from the walls. No remission from this unhallowed scene. The sentience of ephemeral passage facing the liminal ends. All in the stillness. (repeat)

liminal end 04:37
“Severed lies on his demise” Beneath the moonrise, burning every immoral life. Standing bare in disguise, looking down at the scattered ground, the mortal bound. Ripped from the past, fading fast. Ephemeral dreams from the shattered schemes. When darkness consumes us, these concrete hives, the lamented crowds. Amidst these cleansing times, may we find endless rhymes. They have condemned us to rot, to the darkest end that we could not mend. A language of triumph and love echoes through the burning cinders But these lights are still blinding and linger. All in the stillness of liminal ends.

about

At its core, Ephemeral Passage is a profound meditation on the fragility of existence and the duality of hope and despair. The album chronicles the protagonist’s journey through a metaphorical tunnel—a passage fraught with fear, doubt, and fleeting moments of clarity. Each step toward the light represents a struggle to confront inner turmoil, mend the fractured self, and embrace the possibility of redemption. But when the long-sought light is finally reached, it is not the salvation expected. The light becomes blinding, unsettling, and overwhelming, raising more questions than answers. In this disorienting brightness, truth becomes elusive, and
fleeting moments of triumph are shadowed by haunting realizations of mortality and impermanence.

Through visceral lyrics and intense soundscapes, Avhath & KUNTARI craft a narrative that reflects the paradox of human existence: the relentless pursuit of meaning amidst inevitable decay.

Ephemeral Passage doesn’t resolve; it lingers in the liminal space where fleeting beauty and painful truths collide, urging the listener to be present in every transient moment—even as the answers remain just out of reach. This album captures the universal struggle of finding purpose in the ephemeral and the bittersweet nature of the light at the end of the tunnel.
