Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Echoes of You

I had a dream about you last night
It was sweet
An answer to a "what if?" I'd have
Liked to see
For so very long you have been a
Central part of me
Far out of sight, but embedded
In my memory
Echoes of you
Reverberations of days gone by
Resonate with everything
In my mind or before my eyes
A healing music beckons me to
Join its tune
But if I add my voice, the old songs
Soon resume
I never finished that love song
But its melody
Begs a conclusion to its
Outdated poetry
Echoes of you
Reverberations of days gone by
Resonate with everything
In my mind or before my eyes
For so very long I have been
Entombed in memory
Seeking the end of a love song
That can never be
Echoes of you
Reverberations of days gone by
Resonate with everything
In my mind or before my eyes
Echoes of you
Reverberations of days gone by
Don't know how I'll fill the silence
If I let the music die

Inire's Mirrors Mankato, Minnesota
Inire’s Mirrors is the musical work of Tony Cordes, which is to say, me: a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and occasional pizza baker, cooking up killer pies and saucy electronic-symphonic-prog-rock-metal right here in Mankato, Minnesota.
Inire's Mirrors recommends:
Veil of Imagination
by Wilderun
Veil of Imagination expands the boundaries of progressive death metal with the best orchestration I've heard in a metal album, fantastic melodies and harmonies, and thought-provoking, poetic lyrics.

Automated Refrains
by DAN TERMINUS
Automated Refrains is beautiful and intense. It's a sort of 80's throwback synthwave, with only a few digitally chomped words throughout, but it tells a story that is at once sad and exhilarating.
