I have been absent, unfaithful, unlike me
Forgive me, undeservedly
The touch of others pales
For the softness of yours
Is like the wings of angels
Caressing my damned skin
Carry me to the ever-elusive oblivion of sleep
Carry me to the ever-elusive oblivion of sleep
Where any other night, I am wrapped in sandpaper and burlap
Kidnapped by libations and hours of toil
Reaching the threshold, never crossing
I am here now
And beneath sun or moon, I'm yours
None could compare
To your silken embrace
My body aches for you
My calling misconstrued
My intentions are only pure
You always had a way
Of restoring the lost
Repairing the cracks in my soul
It seems impossible now
With the veil between us
Perhaps one day we will not be so far
Wherever you are,
May you bask in the peace I can no longer seem to find
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
