Rains of Guilt
07:15

From this barren earth
That has seen no rain
Desert plains abundant
No more fields will grow
From the dim light of the morning
Stark and slow to yield
The hot sun kills the memory
That lingers in the dark
It's so hard to carry on living
For my sins are too much to bear
Now my soul is growing weaker
I shall sink into the dry earth
Only the slow rhythm of the rain
Can ease this burden and end my pain
Only the slow rhythm of the rain
Can ease this burden and end my pain

The Grey Sky
07:02

I focus on the grey skies
There is truth in their somber view
Not yet dark, sheltering light
A reflection of my inner self
A perverted sense of joy
Where vanity of sadness disappears
There is no hope in the darkness
Unpromising and cold
I focus on the grey skies
There is no fear in the darkness
A tragic reflection of beauty
Comforts me in times of pain
Blurring reality
The grey sky calls to me
No tears, nor joy, in their presence
Only truth in their wisdom
Haunting reality
Pale and dead to me
They suffer alone
In this final hour

The waves move steady to the distant shore
As our lives move forward to their end
Each breaking a death to be reborn again
In a cycle of unending life
In the light of the moon's reflection
A pale crown is lost to the sun
Eclipsed for all eternity
Time has lost all meaning
There is no face that the light hasn't touched
And radiated beauty for all to see
None such rarer than buried hope
And nothing will be borne from your prayer
A cry for those taken by His will
Praise His worth, despise His cruel hand

The Approaching Storm
06:10
|

|
Such sorrow like a storm in the sky of time
An open scar that will not heal
Where the sunlight was vanquished
And darkness ruled the mind
Where night gathers slowly like a stalking ghost
A silent approach to fevered souls
Two minds struggling for dominance
One which is summoned to death
In exile, tears dried by time
A fallen angel on the threshold of life
Carried by the wind
Into the abyss
A torn heart sinking into depression
A prisoner of your dreams
In misery for eternity
Drink the waters of ruin
Lightning crashes, and the sky is aflame
An endless cycle of agony

In Memories I Dwell
06:12
|
|||
|
Before the dawn I rise
I am in your waking thought
While in sleep you drown me out
Not wanting to relive this
Just an image slowly fading
One day I'll be nothing
But forgotten fragments
Unloved and set adrift
It was for love that pushed you away
In kindness, or so you thought
To the point of no return
The gathered looked in horror
One of many spectres
That linger in these walls
Unseen and unknown
We slowly lose our identity
Should you build your love in stone?
To last beyond your years
Spiteful death, and crooked ghost
Casts scars upon my name
In sunset hues, the choir rejoice
No such peace could be bought
God rest their souls
They shall sleep forever more

Drowning
05:16
|
|||
|
Cries of life drowned out
By the fire that warms me
Their meaning lost in time
There is no history
Who will shepherd the truth
In a sea of moving thought
Never look to the light
As darkness will blind you
Face down not breathing
Eyes closed unfeeling
Whispers haunt my dreams
The ghosts of the dead are with me
Wakened by the dawn of dreams
She creeps and she taunts me
All secrets laid out to me
I can't understand them
She burns in my subconcious
Every thought is of her memory
I will conquer this insanity
Or darkness will take me
Her ghost still haunts me
She will never forgive me
I am tied to her existence
Come deliver me from this torment

The Suffering of Others
07:23
|
|||
|
Are you slave to your God?
Or do you control your own thoughts?
Time is too prescious to waste
On the worship of idols
You suffer for your sins
A prisoner to religious liberty
Tamed by the words of liars
You live in self-delusion
Do what you will, for this is where you belong
Pardon yourself for the sins you've created
It'll be a long time waiting for heaven
When you're living your life in this hell
On this desolate Earth
There is such silence
Absent divine presence
An echo once immortal
No life remains
In this darkness
Suffering is a memory
Repeating and repeating
Only pain
Here in the midst
An absence of light
Everything dies

Within seconds i was hooked on this Minimalistic and dissonant black metal release. The buzzing guitars, constant drums and tormented vocals slowly, but surely, possessing every fiber of your being as you drift into the deserts unknown. .. Its hypnotizing and haunting. Buy this!
