RELICSEED RECORDS
Hello! I am Edgars Rakovskis - Latvian musician and songwriter mainly known for being the co-founder, lead vocalist/guitarist and main songwriter for an international metal band Relicseed. Since 2017 I have been creating various compositions and floating far beyond the traditional heavy music. It is time to explore the world, create and communicate.
This platform is dedicated to publishing everything I am a part of (solo compositions, projects, bands).
This is RELICSEED RECORDS.

--- TEKSTS LATVISKI ---
Vējš nevar aizvējā stāvēt No sevis noslēpies es Ir jēga domāt par nāvi Un meklēt pēc dvēseles
Kā elpa uzticas dzīvei Tā upe uz jūru plūst Tu esi man svešs vai savējs Pasaules dvēsele vieno mūs
Nekas nav tā kā tas izskatās Šķiet es viena, bet kopējs ir stāsts Tev atbildes būs, ja tiks pajautāts Tikai tuvāk, vēl tuvāk nāc
Vējš nevar aizvējā stāvēt No sevis noslēpies es Tu esi man svešs vai savējs Pasaules dvēsele vieno mūs
--- LYRICS IN ENGLISH --- /translated by E.Rakovskis/
The wind is never standing on the side of alee Hidden far away from thyself It matters looking for thought about death And wander grasping whispers of the soul
As breath relies on life deep within The river flows its path to the see Are you estranged or dearly close to me? The soul of the world unites us
There is no thing that looks as it is I seem alone but in common is the tale An answer will come if the question has been asked Come closer and you will never fail
The wind is never standing on the side of alee Hidden far away from thyself Are you estranged or dearly close to me? The soul of the world is uniting us
A single from the upcoming Relicseed album. Recorded at Table Recordings. Music and lyrics by Edgars Rakovskis.
CHANGES
There is nothing more depressive than a smile without reflection Hopelessness ain’t nothing but a choice Never led by the fear of the rejection It’s time to stand up and raise the voice
Enough of being a part of the giant voiceless choir Chocking every note without breath Let’s be the ones who bring the log to the fire The more you give, the more’s what you get
Never growing younger but never too old To understand that there’s no right or wrong No guarantees to find the answer to “why?” Unless you roll up the sleeves and try
Time flies fast and soon you will realize You’ve never taken the risk The only one option for you that is left Is to collect the chances that’ve been missed
It is sooner than later that the future will blast Into pieces that could never be found The last moment is now - we need to act for a change And make ourselves worth being around
Never growing younger but never too old To understand that there’s no right or wrong No guarantees to find the answer to “why?” Unless you roll up the sleeves and try
Everybody’s talking about making a difference That’s the obvious state of the mind So, let us think twice before giving it up Instead of putting all fears behind

--- DOMESTIC DEVIL ---
DOLLARS, VIOLENCE, HEALTHY STOMACH SUPER POWER-IMAGE MELT BAG OF BONES, ROAMING SNOUT SYMPATHY IS NEVER FELT
TOO WEAK THE LAMBS ARE SAWING AIR SHELLFISH COURAGE, HELPLESSNESS DETERMINATION SWINGING RARE CREATURE YELLING ENDLESSNESS
DOMESTIC DEVIL FEEDS THE SOUL FRUSTRATING BRAINWORK TICKLING DEATH WHAT MAKES THEM FEEL THE PATH TO GOAL ILLUSTRATING SINKING BREATH
DISGUISE – IT WONT RELIEVE
YOURE DEAD IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE
THE FIGHT IS “FOR” BUT NOT “AGAINST”
YOU`LL NEVER LIVE THE TIME YOU WASTE
YOU DONT GET SATISFACTION UNTIL
THE WHOLE WORLD LIES UNDER YOUR WILL
YOUR MONEY AND YOUR WEALTH – THATS THE PILL
WHAT CREATES THE SENSE YOU`VE GOT THE RIGHTS TO KILL

--- MARY BETH ---
LOADS OF HUMAN FEELINGS WERE KNOWN AS PATTERN OVERLOADING BRAIN AS THE CONTROL VERSUS PRIOR SCREENING PATH I`LL CHOOSE THE DIFFERENT WAY EVERY SINGLE MOMENT SINCE NOW
MORNING BROUGHT THIS DIFFERENT FEELING INSIDE OF THE STEREOTYPICAL SHELL ROUGH LOOKED THE FACE UNDER SHADOWS BUT IN THE END I FIGURED OUT HOW TO SPELL
BARELY CAN I REMEMBER SEEING WHEN EVEN A DOG HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE EVOLUTION HAS CHANGED DOWN TO THE CORE RIGHT AFTER THAT IT FEELS IN THIS PLACE
MOTHER – SHE PRAYS FOR YOU TODAY EVER SINCE GIVING IS AN INSTINCT YOU FEEL LOVE IS FOR FREE – YOU DON`T NEED TO STEAL WHEREVER YOU GO WHATEVER YOU DO

--- SURGEON ---
SPECULATING ON THE PRESENT YOU CONTINUE SPITTING IN THE FACE OF A LUCK LOOKING ASIDE, MOVING BACKWARDS, THINKING DOWNWARDS YOU STILL HOPE TO GET ON THE TRACK
POINTING WITH A FINGER TOWARDS THOSE WHO DISOBEY THE RELIGION THAT CREATES SURVIVING CELL YOU BARELY NOTICE ANY SIGNS IN YOUR WAY THE HEAVEN HAS TRANSFORMED INTO HELL
THE FUTURE OF THE PAST IS THE BASIS OF FAITH THAT INDICATES A COMMON THINKING WAY SELFISHNESS HAS BECOME A TRAIT OF CHARACTER SERVED ON A CONFIDENCE TRAY
JUSTICE USED TO BE A SCUTTLEBUTT AS IT SEEMS IN THE MOST CONVENIENT WAY INDEPENDENCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AS A FRIEND HA HA HA, IT STILL DEPENDS
JUST AS AN OBSCENE TORTURE FEELS A SINGLE MIRACLE EVERYBODY ELSE SEEMS LIKE AN ENORMOUS OBSTACLE NO MORE FURTHER STEPS TO GET MORE AND MORE UNDERNEATH EVEN IF YOU TRIED AS HARD AS YOU DID SO FAR
HUMILIATION IS CONSIDERED AS A NORMAL CRITICISM
BUT HOW MUCH OF THAT WOULD YOU TAKE?
THE CONTENT OF THE SAMPLE SIMPLY DOESNT COUNTCAUSE IN THE END REMAINS NOTHING BUT FAKE
POINTING WITH A FINGER TOWARDS THOSE WHO DISOBEY THE RELIGION WHAT CREATES SURVIVING CELL YOU BARELY NOTICE ANY SIGNS IN YOUR WAY THE HEAVEN HAS TRANSFORMED INTO HELL

--- BEST FRIEND ---
I HEAR THE VOICES BREATHING OPPORTUNITY „ONE MORE” IS „THE LAST” SUPPOSED TO BE REALITY CONSIDERED TO BE SO OBVIOUS THE DEVIL HAS NEVER BEEN SO GENEROUS
WAIT UNTIL THE BLEEDING HAS BECOME A FRIEND BLEED UNTIL THE SPINE OF TRUST HAS BEEN BENT
ALWAYS THOUGHT OF YOU AS A RELATED ONE ANSWERS APPEAR AS INTERROGATIVE NO ILLUSIONS UPON THE LIFE AS MEANT TO BE SO SEPARATE HOPE DESIGNED FOR ALL WE SEE

--- POINTLESS GRAVITY ---
POISON IS THE NAME OF A PILL
IVE ALWAYS TAKEN FOR THE ONLY LIVING PROOF
NEVER-ENDING TENDING TO THE PAIN
BECOMING AS A SPINE OF EXISTENCE TRUTH
ALWAYS ARTIFICIAL SMILE THAT
COVERS THE UGLIEST ANGERS FACE
THE POWER TAKEN OUT OF THE FAIL IS SOMETHING
THAT IS OUT OF THIS SPACE
LOVING AS A PROCESS IS THE BEST BRAIN CATACLYSM
FEATURING THE SOUL AS THE PAST
WAITING IS A TERM WITHOUT A CARING
BOUT YOURSELF AS A BODY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL FAST
TRUSTING IS A JUDAS KISS MISTAKEN FOR THE
PLEASURE MADE OF PASSION TO THE GREATEST LIVING ART
EVERY SINGLE STONE HAS HEART WHO HATES
THE FEELING WHEN ITS THROWN APART
POINTLESS GRAVITY SPELLS RIGHT THE NAMELESS DECISION POINTING THE ENDLESS RUNAWAY FEARLESS INSANITY SEEKS FOR THE SHELTER UNDER THE WORLD I DON`T WANT TO STAY IN (X2)
ANGER IS THE OUTCOME OF THE STRUGGLE BEING CAUSED
BY FRUSTRATING FEELING CALLED THE SHAME
DISASTROUS, UGLY, HELPLESS, WICKED, BORED, ASHAMED
THE BODY LOST A GAME WITHOUT A NAME
DAMAGE DONE TO SOUL ACCORDING TO THE SCHEME
THAT REPRESENTS THE THINKING OF A MASS
ITS LEADING DOWN TO HELL WITH NO REMORSE
YOULL MISS THE MOMENT WHEN YOU PASS
OH, WHAT A FEELING IS RISING INSIDE
WELL, I DONT KNOW HOW TO SHOUT IT OUTSIDE
IVE BEEN PRAYING TO BECOME
AS WISE TO MAKE DEMONS HIDE
I`M STILL WILLING TO MAKE
MOMENT TO FEEL AS A LIFE

--- SERIAL LEADER ---
HERE WE GO!
IN FRONT OF THE JUSTICE I`VE NEVER FELT SO GORGEOUS AND BRAVE WITHOUT A SELECTION ONE BY ONE I SENT THEM RIGHT INTO THE GRAVE
THE MORE I GET TO SEE, THE MORE I BELIEVE
THE WORLD REALLY NEEDS A CURE
THE MORE YOULL TRY TO CUT THE STEPS
THE HEAVIER BECOMES THE SWORD
IN FATHERS HAND
I WILL STRIP YOU TO THE BONE WOULD PREFER TO EAT YOU ALONE I WILL STRIP YOU TO THE BONE WOULD PREFER TO EAT YOU ALONE
I WAS BORN TO LEAD THE BRANCH OF DEATH BLOOD WILL FEED YOUR EVERY SINGLE BREATH HUMAN RACE – IT NEEDS A STACK OF PAIN LEADER IS THE MASTER
DIFFERENT EARTH – DO YOU SEE? LIGHTNING PLANTS PUNISHMENT SEED FRIGHTENED EYES – BETTER KEEP `EM SHUT DREAMING OF NEW LIVES TO CUT
DISBELIEVERS – TIME IS RUNNING OUT
THE BULLETS ON ITS WAY TO THE BRAIN
JUDGEMENT DAY – ITS HERE FOR SORTING OUT
IT MAKES YOUR SINGLE MUSCLE TO STRAIN
YOU CAN TRY TO RUN, EVEN TRY TO HIDE THE SPIRIT OF A BEAST MAKES ME LAUGH I WILL SPIT INTO YOUR WIDE OPENED EYES LIVES ARE JUST TOYS IN MY HANDS

--- QUEEN ---
FACING THE SOLITUDE – THE KINGDOM IS LEADING DOWN CHEATER OF THE MASTER`S SOUL MUST BE IDENTIFIED PROMISES WERE MADE TO KEEP BUT SHOWING OFF BROKE THE CROWN MEMBERS OF THE COURT START YELLING LOUD NO COMPROMISE
READY TO SMASH WITH A STREAMER OF FAKE HUMANITY FAILED AS A TRAIT – FOR GOD`S SAKE! TRYING TO TURN EMPTINESS INTO GOLD TOO SHY TO BE HONEST – THE SOUL HAS BEEN SOLD
ROOTS OF SANITY – OH, POOR HERITAGE BOOTS OF ARROGANCE RIP OPEN ALONG THE SEAMS ARMOR MADE OF FEAR, IDYLLIC COMPLEX ROUT CRAWL AS FAST AS YOU CAN – WE`RE COMING BACK
GRATITUDE BORN AS A PRAY, MADE AS A SCALE BETRAYAL VALUED AS STRENGTH – FORECAST OF FAIL HAVE BURNED DOWN A CHURCH MAKES THE FEELING BELIEF HAS BEEN KILLED THE OPACITY TAKEN FOR QUEEN BROUGHT BY THE INSANE

--- SLAUGHTERHOUSE ---
THE BODYS RESTING COLLAPSED AS A PIECE OF A SCRAP
THEY GOT A NOTICE OF FAITH IN A SUBSEQUENT WAY
“DEAR PARENTS! PLEASE, CALM DOWN! THERES NO REASON TO OBJECT
WE DID IT WITH CARE, SO IT`S ALL TO BE CLEAR”
AGONY IS WHAT THEY GET AS A PRIZE FOR BEING DESPERATE IN FRONT OF THE LIFE INFINITY IS WHAT IS USED TO BUILD THE SIZE OF A FEELING THAT THERE`S NO PLACE TO HIDE FREAKS, YOU KNOW – THEY WILL BE SORTED OUT
POINTING TO EACH OTHER MAKING NONSENSE OF ANYTHING ASKED YOU FORGOT TO DRINK THE BLOOD OF A CHILD WHO JUST PASSED WHAT IS THE BENEFIT THAT YOU RECEIVE FROM BEING EXECUTIONER? WHAT IF YOU JUST TURN FROM A HUNTER TO THE KILL OF A SHOOTER?
PRICELESS IS ONE`S LIFE UPON THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH TOO EXPENSIVE IS TO SAVE A CHILD YOU BETTER STOP TO SEE HOW HE DIES WHERE DID DISAPPEAR THE PROMISE THAT IT WAS NOT A DISEASE? YOU WILL RESPOND IN FRONT OF THYSELF ON YOUR KNEES
SICKNESS STANDS FOR THE LOCAL MERCHANT COST, YES PRICELESS SEEMS THE MARTYR PAIN BUT HOPELESS THOUGHTS APPEAR WAITING FOR YOUR TURN YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THE TRAIN FREAKS, YOU KNOW – THEY WILL BE SORTED OUT

--- BROTHERS` TEARS ---
HIDE AND SEEK AROUND THE WORLD TOO SMALL, TOO WEAK TO FIND THE WORD WE GATHER HERE TO PRAY FOR PEACE BODIES BURN TO PLANT THE SEED
THE SURFACE MELTS ASIDE THE MIND FLAMES ARE KISSING EMPTY THOUGHTS NO MORE SHELTER DO WE FIND BROTHERS` TEARS ROLL DOWN FOR ROOTS
FASHION SPELLS THE POTENT GREED ABANDONED HUMAN FEELINGS FEED THE SUFFOCATION WHAT IS AGREED TO BE THE NORMAL WAY TO PROCEED
WE WILL NOT SURRENDER MOANING`S NOT AN ESCAPE THE FAITH IS THE DEFENDER DISGRACE WE WILL NOT STAND

--- LOONEY TUNES ---
COLORFUL CARTOON HEROES APPEAR ON THE MIND BUT NO LOONEY TUNES ARE ON AIR POWERFUL LANDLORDS ARE ASSUMED TO BE FOUND BUT NO KINGDOM`S AROUND
SACRED SECRET PROPAGANDA IS FILLED IN THE BRAIN AS THE FUTURE OF THE MANKIND POORNESS HAS LED INTO PORN THAT SHOWS HOW TO BECOME INTELLECTUALLY BLIND
THE EASIEST STATE OF THE MANIPULATION STERILIZED CHAOS INCOMPLETE BROADCAST OF A MASS CONVERGENCE WAS MADE TO CREATE THE SOCIAL COLOR-BLINDNESS BASE
HYPNOTIC SEEM THE SYMBOLS BEING INTRODUCED BY THE PRIME UPPER HUMAN RACE CERTAIN ROLES, DEPENDENT RULES, LOONY STAMPS WILL BE SMASHED RIGHT INTO YOUR FACE
ANOTHER EARTH IS BEING INVENTED TO COMPLETE THE SICKNESS OF THE SO CALLED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SOLDIERS ARE PICKED FROM THE KINDER GARDEN AND MADE TO CREEP UPON THE NUCLEAR FENCE
MINDS ARE BEING TREATED IN ORDER TO AWAKE THE CRIPPLES WHO`VE BEEN GIVEN A POWER OVERDOSE SOME OF THE ADDICTED COULD STILL BE SAVED BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE
NOW IS THE TIME WHEN IT SEEMS WE SHOULD GET AT LEAST ONE FURTHER NOTICE OF FAITH HOW COULD THAT BEAUTY SO SUDDENLY TRANSFORM INTO A BEAST WHO RUINED ALL WE DID CREATE
WE COULD REMAIN AS FRIENDS EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO SMILING FACES AT ALL ARTIFICIAL OVERPOWER, MULTICULTURAL WAR FOR PEACE ANYWAY – THESE VALUES SHALL FALL
