Tribute to Sean Malone (1970-2020). A few years after the release of Cynic's Re-Traced EP, Sean Malone recorded fretless bass on this solo guitar and vocal track titled "Integral."
As an act of support, we invite you to donate as you wish for the "Integral" song download which comes with a guitar/bass transcription of the song and an instrumental (no bass mix) for musicians to play along with. 50 percent of proceeds will be shared with suicide prevention organizations: To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA), and The Trevor Project. The remaining will go towards funding a documentary about the lives and artistry of Malone and Reinert.

I touch the string
though the harp may not sing
still I dig the sky
for sun sparks to guide
down below there's a land
with an ominous hole
dug deep in the sand of belief
A million doves
orbit round the Earth
with tears of blood
dare the virgin
take integral birth
From the void I am born
into wave and particle
in the uncreated light
emerged an oracle
A million doves
orbit round the Earth
with tears of blood
slay the dragon
take integral birth
Weep no more
noble silence
usher my way home
A million doves
orbit round the Earth
with tears that flood
line in sand erased
we are but one
cosmic cavalcade
we are but one
time has come
I take integral birth
