Frantic cognizance
Slipping into spiraling descent
Dragged down and defeated by cold reality
Aimless and deprived of all you wanted to believe
The path you've long followed has led you astray
The years have left you lifeless
But the yearning remains
So let the days you've lost
Focus and align your thoughts
To rediscover what you've buried under
Resolution born in suffering
Let the embers of your past
Shinе through the darkness ahead
Violеnt, vacant dreams
Begging for release
From the decomposing threads of sanity
And you could slip away
In a death of one thousand days
Letting go of the waning hope of your awakening
Violent, vacant dreams
Begging for release
From the decomposing threads of sanity
So let the days you've lost
Focus and align your thoughts
To rediscover what you've buried under
There is no greater cause
In dying for the light you've lost
Rediscover the heart you've buried under

Radiant Ascension
04:03
|

|
Galvanized
A plan set into motion
Despite the promises we've made
Torn from the light
A lifetime in a moment
Distorted by the waves
Through the horizon, down
Into the blackness of death
It's time to re-emerge
Abandon all we came from
And start again
So spread your wings, reborn as you return to me
Still calling through the endless night, so far beyond my reach
We were never meant to withеr in apathy
A ghost inside a memory
An infinite connеction of irrational belief
Provided the key
Show me what lies beyond my gaze
Invoking images and faces from forgotten days
Guide me and let the light bestow
Clairvoyant sight into the unknown
Visions designed to blur the past and future
Through the anomaly they speak
All of mankind will look upon its savior
In the reflections I've seen
So spread your wings, reborn as you return to me
Still calling through the endless night, so far beyond my reach
We were never meant to wither in apathy

Embrace Oblivion
05:55
|
|||
|
Beyond the edge of my domain
The sun is rising
Casting a subtle glow
To light the dawn of change
Feel my foundation start to sway
Losing composure
As my constructed world
Falls into disarray
Rejection of my stability
Evaluation of adaptability
Now every structure which has surrounded me
Will either crumble down or stand unwavering
Brace for reckoning
Grinding down to the bone
Devastation of every sacred home
Engrave this moment in your mind
Resting in the afterglow
Chaos will correct itself in time
Embrace the fear of letting go
Unprecedented magnitude of change
Provoking tectonic shifts within the world I create
Now in control, I am awake
Becoming the catalyst of my own fate
Engrave this moment in your mind
Resting in the afterglow
Chaos will correct itself in time
Embrace the fear of letting go
Rising tide of the strength within
Revitalized by the pain inside
And reborn again
Rising tide of the strength within
Revitalized by the pain inside
And reborn again
Grinding down to the bone
That which breaks you down
Will remake you whole

Into The Eventide
06:01
|
|||
|
Drained of all volition
I begin to separate
Time smothers every plea
To transcend through the suffering
I've lived inside a dream
Sinking slowly
Fragments of my mind
Keep overflowing
Blinded by their deception
Broken, disconnected
Effigies of my destruction
Swiftly carry me into the nothing
Time unending
I'm somehow still alive
Eyes wide open
Beneath the fading light
Frozen forever
No chance to say goodbye
I am lost in the eventide
Beholding my true design
Encoded language in the light
Locked within an empty world
Of black oblivion
Desperate to break this endless cycle
Never forgetting
That I've lived inside a dream
Sinking slowly
Fragments of my mind
Keep overflowing
Time unending
I'm somehow still alive
Eyes wide open
Beneath the fading light
Frozen forever
No chance to say goodbye
I am lost in the eventide

Eden's Lament
03:17
|
|||
|
Sacred new world deconsecrated
Human compulsion to devolve into chaos
Far from where we originated
The true descendants of defilers of our home
Novel malignancy
Of tranquility
Disrupted beyond repair by our arrival
Unstable ground
Starts to break down
Tainting this paradise we've found
Ancient human invasion brought us here
No escaping the damage done
A hallowed space, overrun
Utopia ravaged by our influence
Bring it all to an end
Forcing the death of all innocence
No escaping the damage done
Unstable ground
Starts to break down
Tainting this paradise we've found
New blood raining down
Staining this paradise we've found

Soulbreaker

Remnant from the site of a long-forgotten ritual
Surrounded by the signs of a soul sadistic and cruel
An omen lurking beneath my conscious mind
Redemption or doom, salvation or demise?
You find yourself holding on to obsessions pulling you down
And they will haunt you
Still reaching from the bottom of all your darkest doubts
A latent threat emerges
Untying every thread of my observance
You've washed away all sense of purpose
Another face under the surface
Under the surfacе
Defy the prophecy
I'm not a victim of your tragеdy
Shifting reality
A moving image in the dying flame
Remnant from the site of a long-forgotten ritual
Surrounded by the signs of a soul sadistic and cruel
An omen betraying thoughts of my design
Perceptions of truth are fading from my sight
Depravity pervading, writhing in exquisite despair
Malevolent inhabitant of your discarded prayers
My touch is permeating and eating away at your soul
Surrender into me as I take control
Defy the prophecy
I'm not a victim of your tragedy
Shifting reality
A moving image in the dying flame
The crushing agony
The fading whispers of calamity
Suffer in non-belief
Transmissions failing, I'm so far away

Duality Of Intent
04:53
|
|||
|
Untie the twisting lines in my head
My nature will nurture every impulse arising from the depths
Of my internal ambivalence
Duality of my intent
Back and forth, we swing again
The enemy of my ascent
Lies within my consciousness
Intrinsic shadow under my skin
Focus swept in by the undertow
Torn in two, twin sides of a severed soul
Fighting through disorder and chaos
Cycles of weakness and control
Symbiotic pull of opposite forces at rest
Recurring process of rebalancing
Navigating and calibrating
This inner dichotomy
Fracturing mind of the mortal mеntality
Colliding forces of creation
Through dissonant unification
A paradox assimilated
Subconscious animal in my hеad
Voice of temptation, apathy and instinctual thirst
Desire turning into regret
Duality of my intent
Back and forth, we swing again
The enemy of my ascent
Lies within my consciousness
It lies within

Perpetuated system outside our control
Built to uphold our reign
Its methodical pace is now self-sustained
Soulless, hulking mechanical beast
Driven by impulse, desire and greed
Voracious organism
Enslaving and devouring our young
Human progress
Advancing the process of mindless machines
Creating the new ruler supreme
A culture desensitized
Violent visions entering your mind
Adapting yourself to survive
Its computations compel you to obey
Industrial motion of optimal escape
Hеlpless to reversе this unstoppable decay
Of individuality
Feeding with its roots delving deep
Vines from the seed we have planted
Now constricting and killing us faster
The child of our creation
Our mindless omnipotent master
Personified horror, alive
Corrupting parasite
Blind and depraved
Unholy savior
Free will erased
Creator becomes the enslaved
Colossal design, destined to subjugate
Conquer and override
The sequence of mortal lives
Degeneration of all mankind

Artifacts
07:21
|

|
The bitter taste of clarity
Still lingering in the shadows
It's in our veins to contemplate
The setting suns of tomorrow
The last artifacts of our existence
On display for all to witness
Beyond eternity, we will convey
The impermanence of our symbolic dreams
Of salvation
By transcending the time we've borrowed
Our last echoes remain
Already dead and gone
We're nothing at all
Forever flowing on
We'rе nothing at all
A messenger is all you arе
Bleeding your soul onto the canvas
A purpose served, you've found your worth
Capturing life as it passes
You will eclipse yourself
Behind the shroud of a monolithic memory
The great epiphany
Flowing on
Flowing without you
Flowing on
With or without you
Flowing onward, becoming
Lost reflections of nothing
Flowing on through time
Our vessels come undone
Lost until we find
We're back where we've begun

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.

I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on. 10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come.

You know when a song's chorus or hook just really hits the spot, right in the pocket? This album is 45 minutes of that. 🤘
