We are but simple men Humble planeteers The mission seemed so simple when we started Employed to seek a truth so grandiose and strange And philosophically uncharted There can be no mistake this time Show us the rhythm to the rhyme We built a new machine One of innovation To find the one uncalculated query Deep Thought became the name of our grand creation And we implored it validate the theory Deep Thought will help us solve The solution to this mystery Of life, the universe, and everything Answers from your cerebrum More like questions from the abyss (The abyss) Give us something substantial All these numbers are meaningless (Meaningless) Circuitry of the planet What insanity is this (Insanity) We are only trying to find A reason to exist There can be no mistake this time Show us the rhythm to the rhyme Deep Thought will help us solve The solution to this mystery Of life, the universe, and everything In time I think we’ll find That the answer is in the inquiry To life, the universe is everything It’s everything Deep Thought will help us solve The solution to this mystery Of life, the universe, and everything In time I think we’ll find That the answer is in the inquiry To life, the universe is everything It’s everything It’s everything

Was dust the predecessor To the great divine Was I made in their image Or were they made in mine And as I tried to open up my eyes To what’s above and what’s below Like in a dream that’s so serene I realized the power was my own Reaching out for the heights of heaven I set my spirit free With the force of a supernova The effervescent power flows through me Cosmic infinities collide in constant revision No matter what we might decide, it’s still our decision And with the lifeblood of all that matters Coursing through our veins What’s more divine than to design The course of your own history Reaching out for the heights of heaven I set my spirit free With the force of a supernova The effervescent power flows through me Like the tide of an endless ocean Coursing through a stream With the force of a supernova The effervescent power flows through me Reaching out for the heights of heaven I set my spirit free With the force of a supernova The effervescent power flows through me Like the tide of an endless ocean Coursing through a stream With the force of a supernova The effervescent power flows through me, yeah OH

Waking up with bewildered eyes To an empty canvas black (Into eternity) It’s never easy being told you’re out of time When looking back into the past at what you’ve left behind (Alters the state of mind) When every single failure’s so clearly defined So many years I ran away Ran from the call of destiny But even here at the brink it is beckoning Beckoning I've wasted my whole life regretting The things that cannot be undone And waiting for the sun to shine If you can't fly then fall with style Into a better day Your legacy is yours to make Don't let it slip away Slip away A lucid dream A broken melody Awakening Regaining control of reality I will stand as a beacon of change (The only way we can change is by your own hand) And I will hope that you find your way Don't waste your precious time regretting The things that cannot be undone Stop waiting for the sun to shine If you can't fly then fall with style Into a better day Your legacy is yours to make Don't let it slip away If you can't fly then fall with style Into a better day Your legacy is yours to make Don't let it slip away (If you can't fly then fall with style) If you can't fly (Into a better day) Then fall with style (Your legacy is yours to make) Into a better day Don't let it slip away

Mecca 04:43
We will Never realize perfection Until we Can slay the divines And finally become the nirvana Constructing False designs Building walls Rise so high Blocking out All the light All who hear Have gone blind Within the Mecca Empires built upon our hate By the divisions they create The deities we emulate Are growing strong while we debate Who is the greatest Segregations now abound How to unify the sound We must stand Unified Breaking from Chains that bind Casting all Doubt aside Aiming at Gods on high To claim our vision As we step into the fray We finally glimpse the light of day So come and join in the crusade Or get the hell out of the way ‘Cause we’re on a mission To be a force of change To set fire to the airwaves It’s time our voices were finally heard, yeah Why aren’t we noticing the signs That the stars have all aligned There’s never been a better time To slay the divines We’re here to be a force of change To set fire to the airwaves It’s time our voices were finally heard, yeah Why aren’t we noticing the signs That the stars have all aligned There’s never been a better time To slay the divines We will Never realize perfection Until we Can slay the divines And finally become the nirvana

Jormungand 05:37
Hey my son Sit close by And I will tell you more about the world Look my son In the sky And you will see the silvery Outline of the one that we call Jormungand Monstrous, slithering In perpetual motion around the world tree A halo made from scales and venom We live in constant surveillance Under those gleaming yellow eyes Through him the gods control the skies Fear the circle universal He surrounds our world He will still be long after we Fade away Fear the circle universal He surrounds our world He will still be long after we Fade away Fear the circle universal He surrounds our world He will still be long after we Fade away

about

Before Nospūn, there was Ozai.

In 2014, under the name Ozai, we released a self-titled EP. It was the first music we wrote as a group, and the first music we recorded ourselves. As novices in music production, we gave our best effort, but enthusiasm is a poor substitute for experience, and the final product was less than professional.

But we remained proud of the music that we wrote, and that pride ultimately demanded that we remake the EP, from scratch, to give it the aural polish we feel it deserves. Bringing all of our since-learned production experience to bear, we, as Nospūn, have re-made it into something our younger selves, as Ozai, wished they could have.

We are proud to present this music as it was always meant to be heard.

We are proud to present the Ozai EP.
