Lethe Wings

Lethe Wings  -  Pan Thistle, 2018 

In the darkest depths
Lo Manthang caves
The Ghost of Ages
Lost in a Daze
A Cloud of Contradictions
Fire and Water
Dance in Waves
On the Red Plateau

Let there be Light
Let there be
Stories of Light

Over the Himalaya
The air is thin
Standing at the end
Lethe Wings
A Precipice in Life
Truth lies within
Standing at the end
Lethe Wings

Wandering monk
Keeping the faith
Paul had a dream
Peter had a blade
Going with the wind
Anywhere is home
No matter the people
Weather or alone

The posturing of kings
The craftiness of thieves
"ifs" and "might have been"
A tyrant or a creep
Forbidden thoughts
And Thought Police
Crumble instantly
On Aimless Days

A reflection on the moonlit lake
I'm just a nobody, Sir!
I don't have a title or a name
But your horse is tired 
Your face looks drawn
Here! Drink some water first 
Fill your flask for the road
There's a wedding in the village of Lo
A new life, new hope
A promise of a better world
And more...
Stories of Light

PARTHENOGENESIS 4 July 2023 Parthenogenesis was born in the fall of 1978, but the story begins at a disco-club in Ilioupolis, Kanaria Sq. about a year earlier. At the time, it was normal practice for club owners to have one or more live rock nights during the week as the disco boys and girls went dancing on Fridays and Saturdays. It was on one of those week nights that I first met Alberto and George. Their group was called 'Airborne' and mine was 'Crystal Faces'. We had a good chat over a few beers and about a month later, I decided to leave 'Crystal Faces' and join 'Airborne'. For almost a year, we played mostly covers of popular rock songs. We also tried to write some prog-rock stuff of our own, we were all big 'Pink Floyd' fans, but it was not really working. Then, in the summer of 1978, after a falling out with the guitarist of the group, the three remaining members Alberto Levis, George Makridis, and myself (then, Takis Polychronopoulos...

Losing Control Again

Losing Control Again  -  Pan Thistle, 2025 Losing my mind, losing my soul Ain't no way out of this man made hole Go round in circles, off the deep end Losing control again   Envelope face, envelope noise Rolling and shaking broken toys A Justice failed their own polygraph test Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me   Smiling dictator, warfare state Men of the hour, iniquity gains Gaping loopholes in ethical traits I'm losing control again   Testing my faith, a deal with pain Tables are turned, I'm losing anyway A campaign of fear, sponsored by the state Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me There! They are selling again The same Patent Fake concern They drive me round the bend   Weathering vessel caught in a storm - with no end We are unable to hold a course - Captain Where? Lightning stabs out of dark clouds - boiling overhead And I'm losing control again   Fine Nereides ...
