Dear gods of strobe-lit dawn
I am your chosen son
Your trail was cold, but I followed
Until you brought me home
But now where do I go, and now what do I know
Away from the paths that you have tread
A fen where the world grows, to shine bright evermore
We sink in the words that we have said
Sing to me
I am the blood on the hands of the MC
Withered empire’s death - breath of a dark age
To be a ghost in the haze of what could have been
A fucking tragedy that would have happened either way
Beleaguered legions are leading the way back home
That's no surprise after all that they haven't done
And I've sung so many songs of things I've never seen
Searching for shining gold when it was here all along
Hail to the agony
Soporific elder tree
Praise the insurgency
All the same in every me
I don't know just why the world
Seems to implode around the stars
Counting upward from the last of their days
Looks to me like everything
They've shone for will soon come undone
If they did this all for you
Then what are they but what they do
Vorpal candlelight cannot be denied
Buried in desire's a kind of paradise
To come out of the shadows
To be just like a ray
From a flame unfulfilled
’Tis my domain
So when the rats come out to dine
On all the faded dreams of flight
If you're around, tell them a tale
A beautiful waste of precious time
Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly engaging. I'm listening to this and looking out the window at snow falling -what could be more perfect?
An incredible record; highly recommended. It's truly beautiful, and that's not a word I often use for metal, but this is powerful stuff. somethingsomething9
Moins austère que son prédécesseur (ou alors rompu à l'orthodoxie par l'usage du disque précédent) je trouve cet album bien plus accrocheur. baudelagon
A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
