LYRICS:
Lets forget the keys again
As dead we mean nothing
Lets enjoy the plot of this scene
Like the last leaf of autumn
As the cold will come again
To honor the cycles
Let me be the last one seen in Eden
I got lost In this paradise
Eden got lost in the plan of this prison
So the kid left me again
As the king of my own cell
Where fog is sliced by will
As the laws of the bottom
When my dream will broke again
My shadow will haunt you
Where the stars are casting the sea
There is no one
I got Lost In this paradise
Eden got lost in the plan of this prison
Im having everything
In the end my dreams will sing")

Romanias BLOODWAY cement their relationship with I, Voidhanger Records by releasing “A Fragile Riddle
Crypting Clues”, the closing chapter of a trilogy which started in 2014 with the “Sunstone Voyager And The
Clandestine Horizon” EP and continued the following year with the bands first full-length, “Mapping The Moment With
The Logic Of Dreams”. Lead by Costin Chioreanu, one of the most celebrated graphic artists within todays metal
field, BLOODWAY blend black metal, progressive metal, heavy rock and psychedelia in equal parts, forging a very
peculiar style that revolves around deep emotions and dark inner visions, exactly like Chioreanus surreal art.
“In this new chapter the same character from the previous albums returns to the world of humans, but with a different
and larger perspective, animated by his experiences and mental transformations,” Chioreanu explains. “The world is
nothing but a prison, with virtual walls risen from the controlled collective intellect, where all the prisoners are locked
in by themselves. Everyone is free to go and live outside the so-called system, but nobody really wants to leave the
cells for the unknown.” Its a concept made of disenchantment and melancholy, and yet the album is more aggressive
than BLOODWAYs past material, as well as extremely dark. “In this prison, our character buries his achieved
illusions about humanity and rediscovers memories from childhood,” Chioreanu continues; “he is attacked by
chimeras, fears imposed by will, but at the same time he reaches illumination by simply accepting reality in its
complete and horribly deceiving splendor. So he realizes that everything is nothing but a matter of perception.”
From the lyrical perspective, “A Fragile Riddle Crypting Clues” is BLOODWAYs most introspective record, one that
truly investigates Costin Chioreanus spirit, as underlined by two intense spoken words recited by Tomas Lindberg
(At The Gates) and Mat McNerney (Hexvessel). “I never spoke straight about my personal experiences and
personal life the way I am doing now,” he says. “I felt truly free and confident with myself doing this record, and that
fueled its specific nature. I think our goal as a band was to bring into this world a very special record, by all means. I
am deeply confident that we succeeded.”

LYRICS:
The quest is a prisoners need
Among the hostility peaks
An inmate is painting a road
Using my own blood
So many ruins, floating above
My head, my silence speaks the echoes for the gone
So many places for my mind to hide
From all the puzzle pieces of a double game
I cant believe my eyes again
Is this real? I am flying again?!
Damn, i was just dreaming...
Why do I feel like an alien in this world?
Why do I feel like a midlight scout?
Hope was invented as a social companion
A tongue for sonic leaks
The season of Judas is rising over the parish of need
So many faces
Are they all real?
How many masks do I need to survive the rename?
So many saints preaching from walls
The same ancient lessons
The sound of dust
I cant believe my eyes again
Is this real? I am flying again?!
Damn, i was just dreaming...
Why do I feel like an alien in this world?
Why do I feel like a midlight scout?")
