Monolithe 03:59
Quand le soleil illumine la voie Son réveil est le réveil du roi Par sa main de flamme Nous faisons sa loi Craignez pour vos âmes Vous tremblerez d’effroi Car l’oeil de feu vous voit Par notre chant sa chaleur traverse les tempêtes Nul néant, nul astre n’assombrira ses conquêtes Quand notre maître éclairera nos âmes Toutes nos peurs s’éteindront en ses flammes Car l’oeil de feu vous voit Par notre bras, ses rayons transpercent les impurs Nulle armée, nul vaisseau ne percera son armure

The walls are closing in The air is too thick to breathe Feel your instinct kicking in Hear your guts telling you to leave The walls are closing in You’ve got to get away From this place of misery That kept your dreams at bay Feel your instinct kicking in Sweat running down your spine Shivers running on your skin The fog that clouds your mind (bis) Is finally lifting So, you run from your life Trying to believe their lives Yes, you run, towards the sun Yet you can’t outrun yourself The air’s too thick to breathe Your flesh is getting weak Amidst the grinding teeth You find the strength to speak “Why won’t you let me be?” So, you run, from their hate Trying to emancipate Yes, you run towards the sun And the hour is running late Spend all your life Inside their maze Of blinding light Ten thousand days Of grief and strife To let your dreams take flight Still you run for your life Trying to escape your fate Yes, you run towards the sun Your destiny awaits Still you run for your life Trying to escape your fate Yes, you run towards the sun Your destiny awaits

about

A selection of songs from Alpha Boötis catalogue that showcase our diverse sounds and stories. This free compilation is the perfect starting point to get to know our music and universe.

Monolithe is a powerful and groovy piece featuring choir arrangements and a blazing guitar solo. It is the first of a 4 part story telling the adventures of Claire, a middle-aged woman trying to escape a life of servitude under an autocratic Sun King aboard a gargantuan colony ship. Monolithe is the anthem of the Sun King, Louis CLIII.

Towards the Sun continues on that story and takes us through Claire's journey as she realizes her servitude and attempts a number of escapes, both metaphorical and physical. This driving rock song features vocoder vocals and a danceable chorus. It's presented here in a new cut, without the 2 minute psychedelic outro that linked it to the 3rd part of the story, Rubicon.

Originally written for an Halloween darksynth contest, Serpens Nebula is Alpha Boötis' take on a horror-synth track. Beware the Skeletons of Serpens Nebula!

Taken from our first EP, Ecumenopolis and Circling the Belt of Orion are some of our favourite pieces to play live and showcase our original synthwave sound.
