Madrassa 05:04
As as the night star shines upon us all And as the shepherd star shines upon us all My heart flees the madrasa, and feels new You keep learning, you keep praying, boy Your wisdom will be coming And yet the bliss is here on Earth I can see God in the setting sun The sacred lines Cannot be found You ride and hide With the first light Expand / Expand your mind Explore / The other side Expand / Expand your mind Lay low / You can’t be found They’re comin’ with the tide (Let go) You will risk all (Let go) Protect and rise (Let go) Be sanctified (Let go)

Thunderstorm 07:25
When the wind has blown away Laid to rest, not asleep When the light has died away In my head, I let it sink That if there was a thunderstorm I would face the lightning all alone When the wind has blown away Laid to rest, not asleep When the light has died away In my head, I let it sink On the break of night I say my prayer and roll the dice Say my prayer and roll the dice Say my prayer and roll the dice Scary light That glows over the town so bright Impious might Invaders on the move tonight Stay inside until the morning comes You can’t save the ones you love unarmed Bring about salvation in their eyes The price of that exceeds a mortal life Stay away or fight Go defy, die Stay away or fight Kiss goodbye, cry
3.
Sunset of the reign Millions on the run Rushing to decay For what sins to atone? Fear and disease Watch us come The refugees Bleak times, hope at last Sevillan ships In sight, yet afar Sevillan ships Please take me on Blessed men “Save your prayer” “And pay us gold, or swim” Days pass, but eons are felt Thoughts of home, is our only care I wonder how the story goes Open up the holy scrolls Words align, and they leave a trace In my mind, you are whisperin’ And I feel your might, your grace And I feel your plight, your faith And I feel so wise, so changed And I hear the cries, the blaze Reach for the sun When the evil brings you down Reach for the sun Hold on Reach for the sun When the evil brings you down Reach for the sun Hold on

Disgrace 02:35
Deadly row They shot in the bow, the sail We sink under the wave The ocean will be our grave Brothers in God, sent us away Seeking their help, now betrayed A deadly row With foes we thought of as friends No cross sewn on their chest But we’re in their eyes, a pest Brothers in God, sent us away Killed innocents, and I hope fell into disgrace
5.
Left the place of my dismay I can go whichever way, now But the mystical appeal Reels me in then and there Under the spell, the sacred calling Giving in to the trance, I’m going under No one else can follow me now Giving in to the trance, I’m going under Found the way of Avicenna I found the way, but the danger is near I gotta keep it safe, the danger is near I gotta spread it wide, the danger is near Under sky and stars I lay my head But I gotta cope with the realities, I know Keeping my calm, despite everything Find a way to reappear Oooooh I must honor the teachings Too many died, so I could be here now, make a stand Force my hand when I’m deep in calm Four to one but I’m one with the light I’m glorified, I feel glorified As I take your lives, in the blink of an eye
6.
As I crawl on the ocean sand Every land, God-forsaken land Shed of blood, the high offense No way that I can make amends Every land is forsaken land I close my eyes, ready to beg for the end Can I go to where All fate ends I don’t need flesh Only the joy of pure being Every land is forsaken land All across, no good in men It took time, I was lost, then found you In plain sight, I was lost, then found you They’re blind They threw it away I know what they never may I fought, and now I shall pay To know it's all I wish It’s all I need Oh what a pity To be holy, to be lowly Faith, I tried to follow But I’m hollow But I’m hollow

about

“This is ethereal rock with a clear Middle Eastern influence in its DNA with poignant and captivating themes [...] “Ways of Avicenna” is a record that demands respect and adoration from the scene” - Headbanger Reviews (USA)

"There is a tangible magic to Ways Of Avicenna that can’t possibly be described with words; the album is an incredibly emotive musical and conceptual journey that has to be experienced without interruption. Wonderfully immersive and excellently crafted, Pelegrin have produced a truly beautiful work of art here." - Distorted Soung Mag (USA)

"The end result is an album that's a joy to listen to for dynamics, movement, and momentum, and also one which you can let your mind wander to. [...] In short, it's yet another phenomenal stoner album from France, a true joy for us here in the beginning of the year." - Heavy Blog Is Heavy (USA)
