about

TORKA is another composition that was written by Ilja solely. Except for the drums and one guitar doubling all instruments were played by Ilja. The songs root can be found in the Industrial-like electronic bass figure that is first introduced in the intro and later picked up the bass guitar and even later by the guitars and drums. The ending is nothing less than a reprise of the interlude MOMENT, just in a band- instead of a strings arrangement. The lyrics of the song tell a fictional story that is settled on the Easter Island and deals, inter alia, with the extinction of its inhabitants. The same story is later continued on the album's title track KOLLAPS. TORKA belongs to the more melancholic songs on the album.

lyrics

Rauch folgt mir heut’ Nacht.
Kein Laut stört meine Hatz.

Staub weht auf bei jedem Schritt.
Kephalgie kommt mit mir mit.
Ungebor’n türmen sie sich
auf des Kraters trock’nem Grund.

Allein.
Ich hoffe nur,
ich bleib’ allein.
Denn nichts soll mich sehen,
eh’ ich zu säubern vermag.

Mein Kleid,
noch immer rot.
Ich warnte doch
vor meinem Drang zu leben.
Hätte er doch nur geteilt.
Hätt’ er doch einfach nur geteilt

Denn vorm Gestade
liegt kein Kahn noch
Boot für uns bereit.
Wirklich nichts
soll mich so sehen.
