I grew up alone, older in soul, detached from the world
Then there was you, careless and free
You showed me the world as the poets sang it to be
Full of light and beauty
I saw the dance of the stars in the sky
Heard the whispered song on the wind
The quiet laughter in the streams
The peaceful sigh of the sea
The everlasting hum of the universe
There came, a day, when our cosmos fell apart
Your breath grew shorter, your heartbeat weak
The glow of summer faded to the fiery shades of fall
It was all you could do to muster the strength to speak
Your eyes sank deep into your skull
Your skin sagging off your bones
And though your smile and your spirit remained bright
The question changed from "if" to "how much time
Do we have left together?"
You got weaker every day
Slowly they ran out of hopeful things to say
In all my endeavours
To find a way for you to stay
Just a little longer, selfishly...
the stars glared with the moon from their lofty perch
The wind howled instead of singing
The seas roared and the weeping of the streams
Were matched only by the aching of my hopelessness
You fought so well
But as your final days drew near
You lost yourself
I couldn't help
The cold sank deep, the path was clear
I'd give
Anything
To trade with you
It should be me
Who leaves this place
The last day of tranquility caressed your face
You begged for it to be me
I should be the one to end your agony
Mine is only just beginning
Bracing myself
I release you from your pains

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
