1.
My heart is so sullen and cold so drenched in hate. A touch so callous it tears skin. I am both apart and separate. To be whole would be to shed form. Death eats from my suffering fog. I am here for the experience. To spend a life torn open, pouring my suffering into your cups. Drink deep and fall into infinite sleep. And live among the nightmares within the abyss

He lost all; his home is gone. Time now to be brave. His time has come to be humbled. Hands let go, no time to hold on. Embrace your path, young one. Stare not at skin, but at heart. Pounding within, your spirit. Rise

Soon our time will pass and fall away. Reach for blurry lines, eyes will fail us. Thoughts trapped in my mind. Belly guide us so no tricks can blind me. Use my heart for mind, no man can break us

Land Of Dead 07:20
Shed my corpse I rose, to ride the astral plane down. Gentle as a feather on ruby sands, the sky filled with purple clouds. Angelo’s Crown. He nods down and handed me my crown. Guide me through darkness down the hole unto my ancestor’s den. Wolves with jewels for eyes gaze. They pray and I rise. The ether calls to my soul. Shed your hate your fate is holiness. Take your place among your true family. We waited for your in darkness for eons. Now you’ll see, keep your eyes on the flame. Dance around me, fill me with ancestor’s essence, free me from my hate, to a life of freedom. Eyes were made jewels, seek my freedom with the gods. Land of dead

That dream is over, time to return to the sun. an open heart and a complete soul. Sweep away the fog, reach into the peaks. The dream is over, time to return to the sun. rise

Destination 07:28
9.
endless starless night, black waves breach, within me, a hunger, a search near complete, i am shimmering black sands, cast upon the seas, a hundred hands drink deep, a conscious we are connected, bright being, speak, vibrations eviscerate me, i feel you in every fiber of my being. complete.
10.
On the backs of Ancient wings, I ride into zenith. On the backs of ancient wings, I return to that tree. Red skies, heavy winds, dense forests, lower world. My feet remember this wild land, Yyagolosh greets me, Fox Hound heals me. Their seed grows, within me. Their seed blooms within me. Within my essence return inside. My wings burst from my back and I rise. Fire burns inside me, the ritual is done. Now I return from which I came. My shell waits, so I can take my place. My breath returns to my lungs. It frees me. My strength returns to my hands, ready to reap that growth

about

Path of Urda" is a ritual passed down over many generations, through many cultures and beliefs. Urda is the most widely known of the three Nornir, and is also known as the death goddess. Many summers ago, I underwent this ritual. Six months of intense work with my mentor as she passed down the tenants of psychopomp (working with the dead). While under her guidance, I would perform a series of rituals, meditations, and incantations. During the six months, I would learn to live with death, holding its hand, learning its ways, and gaining knowledge about “The Veil” between worlds.

This album represents that journey as a walker between worlds. A tale that edges on the borders of reality and non-ordinary reality. A journey that starts from the grave and ends at the shores of the subconscious.


Spirits be with you always,

Abdul Hakim Bilal

about

grey wulf Brooklyn, New York

There’s a tension between Grey Wulf’s unearthly vocals and the frantic, despondent, dedicated sounds of their instruments. Both sound distant but conjoined, like I’m standing between two dimensions and hearing both.
