Standing on the platform, waiting in vain
Strangers pile off the train
Quickly, quickly, one by one
I run but the windows smash
Emptiness, it’s too late
Stumble through the forest
Roots covered by leaves
Out in the darkness, my only light
Hope washed away
Into the ocean, sounds of sea
Silence escapes me
No one hears my scream
Do I wait, do I go
The radio plays that song
Do I wait, do I go
The unchained melody
Free of verse
As I drive this hearse
As the moment slips away
Minutes slip away
Misty morning of a missed moment
I hate the passing of time
Your reflection in the mirror
Year after year
But I wait, wait for nothing
On the platform in vain
Whistle blows, and I know
I’ve missed that train
There are no ends we meet
So fill me with nothingness
Yet I am liberated
From the judgement of gods
Take me back to the land before time
Take me back, the clock is ticking
Take me home, take me home
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
A powerful metal opus, blending soaring vocals, intricate melodies, and thunderous riffs for an epic listening experience. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 26, 2023
This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
