"Out of the nothingness of sleep,
the slow dreams of Eternity,

I broke the Night's
primeval bars,
I dared the old abysmal curse,
and flashed through ranks
of frightened stars
suddenly on the universe"
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this.
