In a dream 06:47
A feeling that there That is lurking under the surface Almost reaching, standing still Like something holds me back All seems so wrong And my world turns upside down Calling from a distant Closeness – an insurmountable task Existing in a dream Restless and far away Breaking out from these chains A crucial struggle, infinite Time catches up There is no such thing like being cured The wish to turn back time Moments failed could be healed? Existing in a dream Restless and far away Breaking out from these chains A crucial struggle, infinite Moments failed could have been healed Thoughts of doubt and fear Viral and poisoning Sobering of the mind To finally know what´s real
2.
Out into the unknown Staring into the darkened presence Imprisoned by my own thoughts Survival over time Invisible walls cage me in Place and time intertwined Everything is connected deep within A circular pattern infinite Thrown into this world To exist, to fulfill a fate? Awakening from the deepest slumber In this construction of reality Invisible walls cage me in Place and time intertwined Everything is connected deep within A circular pattern infinite Dreamlike existence Questioning of the own will Waiting for the dawn Blinded by darkness Dreamlike existence Questioning of the own will Waiting for the dawn Blinded by darkness

Ruins 08:00
We know nothing, you did know, did you know? All vanish like a drop in the sea Craving for eternity All that remains will crumble away To bloom, to flower and to die Is the way of the world to be But men´s spirit it´s not alike The noon of expression signals the onset of night Ruins as witness of time Don´t you think this will be again? The peak of achievements rings in the fall A universal rule unbreakable and divine. To bloom, to flower and to die Is the way of the world to be But with men´s spirit it´s not alike The noon of expression signals the onset of night Those who build Seek to alter the universe Let them play Again and again again Those who build Seek to alter the universe Let them bleed Again and again again

Wolves gather around us The fur has changed but their nature is the same Future – a mirror of the past Universal - unbreakable rule? Wolves gather around us The fur has changed but their nature is the same Future – a mirror of the past Universal - unbreakable rule? Sorrow and pain fills the soul Ancient wisdom inherited The pendulum of time swings back Fear takes over the order - retrotopian curse! Sorrow and pain fills the soul Ancient wisdom inherited The pendulum of time swings back Fear takes over the order - retrotopian curse! Wolves gather around us / their fur has changed Its nature is the same

Review Doomed and Stoned:
"...It’s a bit tricky to draw a direct comparison between OCKRA and other acts. After all, it’s not often we hear a band attempt blending progressive rock with doom metal! Thus you’ll pick up on elements of Pallbearer, High Priest, and Wolf Blood in “Ruins,” but “In A Dream” catch rhythms more akin to the eccentric Mr. Bungle. The give-and-take contrast in vocal harmonies also reminds me of Worm Ouroboros.

A common denominator grounding all the songs on OCKRA’s new EP, however, is that the sound is quite moving. Be assured, this will elicit an emotional response. With that in mind, I think we’re ready to take this one out for a spin, don’t you?..."

Review Metal Addiction Webzine, 8.5 of 10:
"...what a pleasure it is to discover bands like that, without pretensions or rock star poses. Only music well done, with passion and soul..."

Review Streetclip fanzine, 7.5 of 10:
"...All players put on a solid performance on this disc, especially the soulful guitar playing by Erik is remembered and gives the music of OCKRA an elegiac touch (...) I am excited to see how the band develops and what they will offer us on a hopefully soon to be released full-length album.."
