There was no sense in continuing
There was never any point
They wander aimlessly as lumps of pulsating flesh
Searching for beauty and meaning in everything
Where there's none
And nightwalkers
Carry the heaviest and wisest hearts of all
In their waking hours
They are haunted by celestial giants
Reminders that we are nothing
We come from nothing
We'll always be nothing
Every day goes on, the same wicked nightmare on repeat
And I loathe the coward in me
Who could not summon the strength to pull the trigger on my escape
I lost myself in their strange and cold world
Staring skyward like them
I found a temporary peace
In the endless, vast obscurity
Stretching farther than we'll ever know
It was from my insignificance that I found the grit to persevere
Still, I was plagued by the thought of gentle nothingness
If I don’t matter, there is no need to endeavor
Does the beauty of the earth match the blessed emptiness?
Our pestilence destroys this place forever
My will to live was rendered meaningless
All ties binding me here have been severed
Raging winds, hear my plea
Furious seas, embrace me
I long for your darkest fathoms to consume my remains
I was born of your darkness
And to your murk I will return
I am in awe of your beauty
Enraptured by your depths
Your silent strength, your boundless power
And though tremulous, I invite your wrath
Cursed is the soul who blindly loved death itself
Made it know the fleeting beauty of a moment beneath the sun.
My core remains unseen
My secret kept
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
