1. | Exile’s Journey | 08:08 | Show lyrics |
A brutal banishment, A condemnation unfeeling, Compels me to wander, In dreadful isolation Why? Why must I leave behind all that once was mine? Ahead lies only an eternity of vacuum No life awaits here amongst the forlorn soils of the Malediction Fields. A people lost, A tribe without spirit tethered to a land that no longer remembers, Trapped within valleys that scream without mercy, Prayers to a long-dead body go unheeded and unheard. The ghostly cries of the abandoned carve ruin into the fabric of my senses. Yet my back is turned, My heart stone, There will be no return for one such as I. For I am but a man, Fassible yet free, Purity and principles scattered to the harsh winds, Stoic beneath waning skies swollen with the promises of pain. Descending spirals of a withering storm-scape, Echoing the chaos that roils within the fragile stem of the Earth. A brutal banishment, A condemnation unfeeling, Compels me to wander, In dreadful isolation. |

2. | A Witness to the Passing of Aeons | 07:07 | Show lyrics |
Uncoiling amongst the stars, my spirit-fight is endless, I abandoned the prison of flesh millenia ago, Parted my veins to shred the last veil, Shrugged aside the chains that anchored me. Left the shattered shell of my corporeal form to descend, Into the blackness of this malicious earth, And as my being merged with the very fabric of this withered planet A new pathway was opened before me. With each passing of the moon, With each cycle of regeneration, I felt a new strength bond with the very essence of my existence, An amalgamation of the aether and the nameless emissions of the void, Tethered to the flickering flame of my soul. Ascension thus was born and beyond these mortals realms I foar, Watching the stars collapse beneath the fury of the old ones. The febrile breath of the universe, Exhaled, Scattered, Dissipated, Carried on the drifting, timeless winds, I have watched civilisations rise and fall on this weakened planet, I have seen the weakness of man cleansed by the rage of the cosmos, Watched the skin of this decaying world scarified beyond recognition Lifelessness if all that remains as my endless vision, Watched the last light of reality gutter And die. |

3. | Colossal Voids | 08:32 | Show lyrics |
Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. These ashen waters swallow the grey skies, In this tumultuous churn I gasp and thrash, Human driftwood torn and flung, By the escalating currents of despair, All encompassing bleakness. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. The storm breaks, the grim expanse of the sky now reflects the maelstrom, All pervading grief foaks into the chaos wrought atmosphere. Shattered and tangled I am, Wrenched to and fro before finally I am dragged, Helpless and broken, Beneath the waves. Now my struglle ands, I sink beneath the angry roar, Surrendered to this unforgiving ocean. And here, below the frenzy, drowning in solemn grace, I am at peace. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. This still iron-hued expanse of nothingness, Echoes the forceful silence, Permeates my soul, I, the only stain on this perfect blank horizon, Lost to colossal voids. |

4. | As Buried Spirits Stir | 06:58 | Show lyrics |
And I watched the sun cross the sky A thousand thousand times, From within this tomb of earth, Waiting patiently for the sign, To be called by those who would summon us forth to wander once more, Under the waning moon across the bleakness of the fens. Once, many centuries ago, we were kings, Of an age now forgotten, Our dominion absolute, Our realms bound only by black seas and cliffs of ice. By sword and fire, blood and honour, we exacted our rule, Commanding the landscape with dread force, bereft of mercy. Now, we can hear the calling of desperate souls, Who have stood and watched these ancient fields raped, Scars run across what once was ours. Through the dust of ages, rage stirs us to walk once again. To stride unbound and unfettered under a shroud of twilight, Our pales eyes surveying the rotten remnants of a once-proud kingdom, The winds howl, the trees shiver, the harriers scream. As our deathmarch begins again. |

5. | The Warren | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Labyrinth of soil, twisting, writhing, ever changing, All life returns here, Death, decomposition rebirth. Ancient barrows exhale and beckon with hands of stone, I move towards the welcoming black, Allow my being to merge with the earth. And the soul wanders, And the soul wanders, Lost alone yet unafraid, To roam the warren for eternity. |
|||
6. | Lashed by Storm | 08:54 | Show lyrics |
Flayed by the driving rain, of black clouds scud across the sky, The world roars with rage and the very ground trembles. I watch as lightening spears the darkness, The stark outline of the trees stripped bare by winters ravaging chill. Wind screams, cutting the knives of sharpened frost, As I raise my arms to embrace the assault, All that lives cowers in the shadow of elemental wrath, Yet I stand and roar my challenge to the maelstrom. Mountains rear in the darkness, Colossal megaliths of malediction’s promise, Looming, immense, all knowing, Stoic against the fury of the storm. The raging tempest shrieks of hatred, Bunched clouds toil with the need to destroy, But I will remain unmoved in the face of the assault. I welcome the pain of nature’s vengeance. Eyes clenched shut, The freezing wind and stinging waters Fear my skin and slake the thirst in my yearning soul, Never have I felt so alive, Every nerve tingles, every sense razor-keen, This frail, thin, stooped prison of flesh, Punished and invigorated. Crushed into the sodden earth. And therein will remain forever. |
|||
7. | Bereft | 11:49 | Show lyrics |
Alone... Hollow... Ashen. Life promises only death. And thus I am again sentenced to solitude, In silent contemplation, a vision framed in grey Falls upon world-weary eyes and brings torpor. The years behind left drained and colourless. I look within to fan the embers, Charred and enervated beyond recall to flame. For so long, I have journeyed, one weary step upon another, The dust of a decade’s failures ground underfoot. And so I fix my gaze to myriad desolation. The harsh wind punished a frail simulacra On the precipice of spiritual oblivion, Without and within only ashes remain. As the elements now I shall be. As one with the enduring stone and the onrishing waters of wild rivers. As one with the burnished hue of the dawn And the misty closure of the twilit evenfall. To cross the foils and stygian peatfields. To stride unfeeling towards the eternal periphery. These bitter lands have borne witness to so much That I now embrace within a lonely And burned-out will. When only distant memories chime across a spiritual vacuum, The last vestiges of life long since extinguished. A dying visage whipped by storms charged with the stench of despair. The entirety of my essence, the nucleus of my humanity now scoured. I am Bereft. |

1. | Epoch | 06:18 | Show lyrics |
Drowning in a perpetual fog What is this torpor that drains me? I’m terrified of what the future holds As I cannot control it And I’ve done so many, many things that I regret That I don’t think I will ever sleep again |

2. | Ghosts of the Flood | 06:25 | Show lyrics |
The chaos of life Calling in the twisting veins Where lifeblood pumped and the children came to drink Now blackened and dry The husk of our existence Lies parched and cracked on this barren land Silence The stillness speaks of nothing From the blank slate horizon to the ceiling of the sky Life for life The cacophony of the carnival forgotten Only shadows and memories Lingering in the hands of the earth Carried on the endless journey of the wind We call no more Their mouths are alive with selfish yield We have no tongue to speak Drained of being Once we sheltered in the hollow inside Now we are spectres Ghosts of the flood Some day the rains will come again So long we have waited Lost between planes Nothing but the echo of a perpetual cry We will dance in the gathering waters When breath shudders coldly Through the carcass of our essence Bringing out throats alive Drowning stone and dust We will call again Call to the eternal, empty skies We will call again |
|||
3. | Of Wilderness and Ruin | 08:18 | Show lyrics |
Many have been those who walked before me But few now remain on these blasted paths Where once we stood and gathered as one Fragmented now are those of the unbound We stood and watched as the sky turned to fire And the sacred hollows of old were sundered Eclipsed by the dawn of a new era There is nothing for me now above or below this Earth For what long ago was held to is no more A hollow shell, a shattered conceit Condemning the memories of a thousand generations To the abyss of the forgotten My eyes shimmer as they fall upon the ruins Loss scars my spirit My vehemence carries on cold, death-charged winds It burns through me, scars my veins And wracks the remains of an already tormented spirit Rage and despair entwine And a broken man surrenders I lay and stared as the soils turned to dust And the last of the stars died Eclipsed by the dusk of finality There is nothing |
|||
4. | The Gibbet Elms | 06:29 | Show lyrics |
We have stood for centuries Sentinels that frame the sky We have felt the exhalation Of souls passed under us We have trembled in the cold winds That lash the soils of death We have drawn upon the poisoned strength Of earth steeped in sorrow Our limbs have twitched and quivered To the sound of myriad snapping necks Our roots remained anchored and unmoved To the whispers of ending that clamour within All now is silent and still Yet resting not are the echoes of the lost As twilight descends and the murders wheel to roost The fallen rise again like mist To drape once more from our arms Like the rotting sails of a long-abandoned vessel The scars of time have reaved their pain not As the land sings its death-song again We have stood for centuries Sentinels that frame the sky We have drawn upon the poisoned strength Of earth steeped in sorrow A final threnody for a forlorn convoy That wanders, lost, in this bleak labyrinth Condemned to the aether beyond time A memorial pain unyielding that seeps into our souls |

5. | Carrier of Echoes | 10:38 | Show lyrics |
Keening... A reflection of all that was The bell tolls... Throughout the perpetual passage of infinity I was born long ago My form fashioned from the primordial rock Storm-winds seared the umbra and my verdant spirit The essence of an era forged by the elements And millennia have passed Frail flesh teems with memories I watch with spectral eyes The knowledge mine - and mine alone Ancient paths that sear the landscape Ley-lines scouring a wounded earth Where long-forgotten shades now wander Beneath the glare of the cold moon The very soils imbued with a sense of longing Beneath my tread teem myriad memories The essence of so much now lost Entombed in within the catacombs of a history forever buried Yet I know not what lies ahead No secrets unearthed from my time in the aether have I No keys to unlock the myriad entangled strands of what will be Behind me, a wake of unending despair Ahead, a formless void as yet unscarred Waiting for the Echoes of the dead to come |

6. | Half-Light Eternal | 08:22 | Show lyrics |
Illumination wavers in the strengthening grip of dusk Darkness summoned something more than dreams and empty promises Every blade and bole turns towards the fading light And all freeze to capture this moment in eternal clarity Around and around the centuries thunder Revolutions of earth and stone, oceans rise and fall The waves of life flow high tide and beyond This crystalline second still warm on the retina of remembrance Bruised and melancholy is the moment That stains these skies Ash will saturate the bones of our footsteps echo Sandstorm future melts through the half-light tangle The end retreats ever onwards, suspended in fire Shadowed by ages, enthroned in forever This hour, this minute, this second This very second Every memory furrows through the folds of time Shadows aflame with resonance before your eyes Now branded by the sharpened nature of his night |
|||
7. | A Waning Solace | 09:51 | Show lyrics |
Nothing that breathed disturbs this enclave As the monolithic cosmic millstone Grinds ever onwards Crushing meaning beneath cold stone It is here that I lie At one with the darkness Where timelessness breeds tranquillity And the ravages of frailty thrash Against the walls Of a reality long ago Fractured and scattered And yet... so slowly It starts to slip away (draining, sinking) My strength weakens With each shuddering breath With the fading of the mists And the dying howls Of the withering wilderness Wreathed in decay Solitude is torn away My cries pierce the silence like arrows As this refuge is rent asunder The fragile fabric collapses Realisation wracks the spirit And I stare into the glittering eyes Of yet more unbridled sufferance Rending me As this solace wanes, the wind grows colder This once-verdant landscape now stands Stooped and alien, stripped of spirit Nothing remains to soothe a lamenting soul What was once mine is no more Ripped open and naked, I bleed Beneath the wanton iron skies That pour misery onto a hapless thrall My nothingness exposed to all... (So little now still stands Scorched earth and desolation and legacy of shame For which I now pass judgement through the vessels Of a new and forlorn Epoch) |
|||
8. | Ashbringer | 08:34 | Show lyrics |
Moving amongst the many pathways of the aether The silent one, the harbinger of woe The oracle of sorrows yet to be The unnamed foreshadowing Marauder! Like the carrion-crow that circles the charnel-field He knows his moment is soon "Render ash Unto Them!" As the penumbral darkness lengthens And the layers of quintessence are pierced On void-trails of scorn he descends To sow the seeds of this world’s decay Crawling and cowled Oracle of the End, the doom-sidhe Watching... Waiting Watching... Waiting Stands unmoving upon the blasted moor A sightless gaze that sweeps this reality Ghost-white fingers bring blight to flesh As whispering words strip life From the very landscape of men Reaving the soul of the Earth |

1. | Our Names Written in Embers (Part 1: Beacons of War) | 11:08 | Show lyrics |
Embrace the fallen leaves of the burned Cry havoc these paeans of woe Ten thousand sins sliced upon the canvas Of a furnace as yet undimmed The furnace is undimmed These pyres scar a torpid sky Steepled are the burning mounds These offerings to eternity are legion Beacons of war Beacons of sorrow Flames that yearn For blood on the ’morrow Cleansing Never to be extinguished Remorseless And when the storm of our rage is thus spent And crows stir the cinders of loss What legacy remains in a frozen abyss Strewn with the detritus of vengeance Slaked are the thirsts That sear the nation But these throats yearn for more Throats seared by hatred’s screams Parched by the lust for conquest Soils turned to lifeless dust underfoot Temples of rock reduced ruin The birth and death of Empire Rips at the skein of this world |

2. | Our Names Written in Embers (Part 2: Beacons of Sorrow) | 06:30 | Show lyrics |
To march again and again Under the sanguine banners that draped the skies Clouds rain sodden ash and her eyes stream with tears All that lies before us Carrion seas and vulpine cries Carrion seas and vulpine cries Aeons crushed Time-lapse devastation Epochs fold The breath of civilisations forged in ash Our names were written in embers Are carved into the bedrock of the fallen Sand blown carcasses weave a weathered tapestry On which we paint the lexicon of extinction Litanies of loss Chanted at bruised skies Scarred by the violence Of ideals embroiled Dogma - credo Unstitch reason Cauterized - the feverish mantras That brushed the lips of the spectral prophets Crimson ichor stains the maw of the apostle Desolation flows in torrents Beacons of war Beacons of sorrow Illuminate the death-throes That welcome the ’morrow Dead this wasteland where once stalked phalanx of dreams |

3. | The Dying Stars | 09:51 | Show lyrics |
From the utmost depths In blackest earth-flesh entombed I have arisen again The bedrock cracked by celestial vengeance Mountains cleft in twain Forests cindered by starfire Stir me from this greatest slumber Blood runs once more Blood of the forgotten seers Blood of those buried of mist-shrouded loss Veins pulse To banish millennia upon millennia of oblivion To unleash a howling keen of new knowledge Knowledge Ichor-smeared eyes bear witness to a firmament of turmoil My vision clears, my purpose hardens Ascendance - thy gift sears Burned by the embers of the dying stars It was once said that there is beauty in destruction That death brings serenity In the final exhalation of eternal peace Yet this thrashing conflagration of ending That scours all senses and purges the mind Brings only desolation And sorrow and woe Beliefs now cinders, credos in ruins A cold wind brushes the dead skin of withered ideals |

4. | Sentinels | 10:10 | Show lyrics |
From the moss-wreathed skin A whisper of eternity The arms of the soil-bound sun A heart that beats and speaks in dust The teeth of worship Spread their message to the stars The time etched spine that turns the earth That builds a bridge beyond These sentinels stand tall With roots entrenched in memory’s blood With silent purpose and astral intent Forged in the cycles of ages Broken for the flesh of tombs Their spectral tongues reach through the atmosphere To chronicle the churning of civilisations The sky is a sphere The sky is sphere in the burning night As the vacant trails blaze with life When voices speak the wheels grind Now torn away from the storm of time As they haze through endless motion As the slate boned pylons mark their course As ancient knowledge floods the graves These sentinels stand tall The gate remains unmoved A monument to the intangible aether This message faded to ashes Their cries are as nothing in the spiraling winds The gate remains unmoved, unbroken The message faded to ashes The door now locked on worlds unimagined The key is lost, unknown, forgotten Lost, unknown, forgotten |

5. | Menhir - Supplicant | 11:53 | Show lyrics |
Prostrate we are On bended knee and foreheads pressed against the earth Stained with blood The altar is crimson yet the soils remain unslaked Before the vastness of the megalith Under the glare of a thousand veiled stares So much more needed More to be given to those beneath Present thy fragile forms Surrender... Supplicant Enshrine in roots, the first ones scream out A demand for vengeance A clarion call that resonates Throughout that cold void of forgotten epochs In silent serried ranks we move To the colossal pulse of the unknowable Yielding Willing This malleable swarm Compelled to carve remembrance Harbingers of sundered generations Slaves to a forgotten will ’Casting our gaze to the star-studded skies whilst our souls bleed into the thirsty earth - yet silent they remain The keening wails of the singers of the summoning songs remain unanswered, unheard. Yawning abyss, lifeless heavens unheeding but our supplication endears, the need for sacrifice resonates and echoes throughout generations before us and generations to come Shriveled wastelands tremble To the remorseless march of the lost Shackled in chains of surrender Slaves we are On broken knees and foreheads driven into the earth Drenched with blood The altar is eternal. |

6. | Gathering the Stones | 12:54 | Show lyrics |
Here... Down within the dead pile Down amongst the dead "Down within the dead pile Down amongst the dead" Calling... Nameless... Rootless Currents, ply thy lash Scorched and drowned Punished and forgotten Left to oblivion’s embrace Dwell... Eschaton Carry this rock, our testament A memorial etched in stone (For each of us outside) - one tablet One vessel, one guide, one totem Whose roots dwell far below At the depths Who amongst them shall bear the names? At the dawn of the ending? When the crimson window opens To flood all with the rage of the firmament? To name is to remember To remember is to summon To give form from memory This keening is sounds forever Thy back stoops low Under the weight of these stones Where upon the judgment of the end-time Will be laid bare upon a blackened canvas To honor the litany of myriad of past worlds Immortalized, crystalline To be dissolved within pyres of subjugation And there will be no sound Silent are the funerals - For circles wreathed in ash |

1. | I (Pathway) | 17:08 | Show lyrics |
All will fall All will sink All will drown All will fade with time I scan the horizon Watching, waiting To gaze upon the grey spine of the cathedral spire Piercing the clouds that swathe this blasted horizon A totem of the permanence within this fog laden expanse Eternal I am, yet each tread On these desolate soils And through these banks of rearing sedge Enervate me ever further The ghostly breath of winter enshrouds Reaper - Harvester Scourer of essence The inevitable embrace whispers from an endpoint yet to be Rotten wings spread with a torpid snap A roiling howl that promises only a bouquet of woe Gathering in volume, a colossal choir builds Unearthly presence bleeds shadow over a broken landscape Mists unfurl in a tide of unspoken promises Supplicating embrace of ten thousand forgotten threnodies Yet I can hear them... each and every one Wordless these paeans to harrowed incarnation Silence Raised to a deafening roar that shreds the senses Eyes and ears forced shut, I revel in abnegation And let my soul-sense wander Slithering bent fingers of gelid ghostliness Probe the blackened slopes of that stoic island tomb or temple? Only the dead can know Their unrelenting mantra unveils naught save timeless prophecy And still... these wretched revenants whisper All will fall All will sink All will drown All will fade with time |

2. | II (Penance) | 10:02 | Show lyrics |
Time That humiliating arbitrary adjudicator Your cruelty builds in an endless cycle of decrepitude Skin slackens with each passing seconds Flesh weakens and softens Bones stiffen in agony Dreams dissolve Hopes slough A blackened pulp of deepest despair A mind enfeebled and afraid Gazes back upon a path of waste and regret Gazes ahead only to t he cold and the empty All will fall All will fail All will fall All will fail And so with each heavy, broken-backed step I inch closer to my reckoning Sinews stiff, sloughing, sagging Resonating with slow decay like catgut strings Draped across a stave of rotting timber The cathedral looms... Tearing, oppressive, stentorian Cries once echoed in the chapels of cold stone Where cowled figures dripped with feverish piety And candles of reverence flickered in the torpid darkness of unanswered prayers Stoic monolith that bleeds black redemption Onyx shroud shed like skin Penance driven into the maw of the soil Stygian crust that chokes on the carcasses of the forgotten There is no room here Suffocation... Rejection... A hopeless soul slithers in vapid vestibules Echoes Silhouettes Fading notions of what once breathed false proclamations Granite shaped by the echoes of supplication Myriad visages gaze in judgement A solemn phalanx stands as one One singular totem of accusation Choral, somnolent striking the marrow Of a soul laced with corrosive regret Guilty - Pathetic - Cringing Crushed by stone Withering within the inquisition cloisters The last shreds of waning hope thus scatter I cannot see what lurks within these sepulchral shadows Emanating whispers of a thousand past condemnations One thousand past condemnations! Freezing hands reach - coiling, cloying My name is but dust And I flee again |

3. | III (Fear) | 10:36 | Show lyrics |
The spirit songs scream across wind-burned heaths Flensing the rind of my very soul Corrosive embrace comforts In an inexorable miasma of dissolution A threnody that scours with the paralyzing raptor claws Of a lifetime of unrealized purpose And it as at this point that revelation strikes With the force of a thousand driven spear-points A face etched with the lexicon of destitution Stares back through pallid, jaundiced eyes That glitter with suppressed, shrieking desperation To rend To claw away the threads of cloying carnation To force this stooped sarcophagus Into the carcass-field beneath my feet Abnegation - silence - void The only triptych I seek Yet Extant not is thy solace Within this corrupted patina of deathsoil Still the Cathedral stands tall And in those febrile shadows Hopes of centuries shrivel and die I must move on I must haul this weary patchwork of cursive limbs Through a translucent mire Endless, oppressive wake Each tread summons the efforts of a thousand scouring exhalations Inch by inch, step by step, slowing, stooping Until - like a puppet with strings severed by the scythe of embitterment A figure collapses |

4. | IV (Interment) | 14:52 | Show lyrics |
I descend I descend again I closed my eyes and still these vistas rend The waning sun... it’s light so thing Sickly, these pale shafts press At a gruesome fog, an entangling torpor Stripping the fenland air of pellucidity Writhing chains of spiritual desolation reach And beckons a shattered soul back into darkness As the soils part in welcome A riven aperture to embrace a sundered spirit Closing like a withered fist Around a frond of pale tissue Weak - so very weak Cold - frozen to the marrow Encased by the frost of loathing I have nothing left to give Even my flesh presents naught A cross-stitched tapestry of past failings Pallid vessel of spiritual exsanguination Home to the dread-stare of these listless eyes Each sordid limb a tendril of pain A beacon of suffering, a spite of torment Aflame with gangrenous agony This hemisphere of decrepitude demands extinction Extinguish me Yearning for ending I beg for the embrace of the fens A final resting place - marked only by a henge of dead trees The cathedral stands, omniscient A memorial to all those who walked within these shadows Unmoved by the toil of the lost Who sink without markings into the fathomless murk |

5. | V (Death) | 12:40 | Show lyrics |
And thus No headstone will mark our passing No mourners shall pay tribute No tithes to those who surrender to blackness No offerings for those entombed in this barren land The bells toll only within the strata of lost ages Earth, death, time and sorrow our parting hymns The circle has no end - our solace, no beginning Peace is only found in these unheralded, desolate kingdoms Withing the silence of the soils Amongst the mass grave of the forgotten Cemeteries forged in peat A cenotaph of bog oak Shivering flesh cupped in the shriveled claws of the fenland mausoleum Welcomed by a womb of cold earth Coiling like a foetus, I succumb to the silence Amputating the senses Embracing a well of oblivion I yearn to dissolve into the infinite Where past, present and future are bereft of meaning Where each echo of my torrid material self Drips slowly into a sink hole of desolation Where each reflection of the flesh Causes a tidal surge of misery A patchwork of memories floats before my mind’s eye And it is with the gratitude of a lifetime I witness them fade Dissipating and drifting as morning mists Eradicated for all time I pray for nothingness My starved will craves void And in this stark cradle of dead fen-flesh I have found solace I have found my reward I have found release I have found my blessed death |
|||
6. | VI (Sight) | 09:44 | Show lyrics |
As if through a web of obsidian silk My sight returns as from a dream A dream empty of thoughts and sounds and visions And I remember it being one of the most beautiful places I had ever been I had never before that point known such peace A winter for the spirit, I was harvested of essence A place of endless solace placating this soul’s corroded ruins Bereft of flesh, divorced of earth, severed of being And now I can drift once again but soaring free I can look down upon all I once know - all I once was And see with the cold, crystalline clarity of the dead Through eyes unmisted, a mind unfogged, free of the oppressive weight Of the cathedral’s dead stone Of this body’s withered flesh Of this mind’s shattered synapses I didn’t think such a quiet was possible That the relentless roil of rage and despair thrumming like lava through me Could be extinguished And given over to a plateau of calm stillness I embrace this season of ending With every fiber of my departing consciousness Frozen and eternal A winter for the soul carried on oblivion’s ghostly breath One last final exhortation To the violent winds that rend and rend and rend and rend I surrender I descend I dissolve I end. |

1. | Witness | 05:55 | Show lyrics |
Coruscate Uncoil and reach Enshroud Rend and then unmake I witness eternally Unknowable depths of firmament Coruscate Uncoil and reach Enshroud Rend and then unmake I witness eternally Enveloping waves of negation The fathoms of our reality lie steeped in bitter, blackened bedrock Stained with the grim poison of ignorance Shrieking clouds scud across a collapsing sky All that we prayed for splayed against futility’s flensed carcass |

2. | The Dead Light (Part 1) | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
Eyes pointed skyward A broad shroud of world-death illumination Against a backdrop of absence Accretion discs scythe the heavens Quanta bombard Carried on unseen aetheric streams Shards of energy Weightless Soundless Yet carrying the stories Of countless conflagrations OF untold worlds Birthed, cooled, enriched, given life Verdant patterns of myriad civilisations The rise and fall of empires The ebb and flow of awareness And when all is put to the scour The flames awash and spheres scorched to rock Uncountable entities extinguished forever Sentience unravelled to bear no trace Upon the lifeless crust of dark matter The purest silence this most mute of crowds Singularity reclaims its own Still the stories travel A tapestry of the past plays out Solar death-throes glitter Envoys of destruction unimagined We see death without bearing witness We see genocide bereft of extinction’s bleak finality Litanies of ending drift unheard The void is little more than a cauldron of silence Debris Dust Not even memories are left to the hunger of elemental rebirth |

4. | Nebula | 07:05 | Show lyrics |
Unfurl thyself Uncoil amongst the sterile breath Of myriad star-births As fauna hewn from singularity A shimmering pellucid bloom of myopic radiation Paints a voidscape of febrile beauty Upon the weakeneing fabric of accepted reality The bedrock of faith naught but dust What secrets thus dwell within this sanguine shroud? What lies hidden within burning alcoves thus aflame? The fires rage - a silent maelstrom The shadows thicken - where there is light, there is darkness Illumination underscored by the umbra of the unknown Starlight - iridescent, violent and vivid Pour raditation unto the vortex of ignorance A hopeless, pitiful yearning grows TO rend the skein of etherial emptiness I reach towards a patina of death-born promises Clutching at rotting gossamer threads I call again - a wordless scream for knowledge I call again - a desperate howl for revelation Granted the limitless sight of the ascended I turn away now blasted by unravelled thoughts I call again - silent greets a throat-shredding plea I call again - feeble cries echo in a vacuum of nothingness |

5. | Labyrinthine Echoes | 09:52 | Show lyrics |
We see but cannot see We hear but cannot hear What we face with our senses is the purest illusion Transmissions from a realm of the unknowable All is filtered through the withered substrate Of perceptions worn thin like gauze Rotting through as a death-shroud Stained with corpse-dust When the last of us ceases to trust All that is perceived, all that is known All that is experienced Where then for a mind that cracks free of its moorings? To the maze of memory we thus retreat Inwards and downwards To the fog of time long dead And the straining patterns that fail to contain Things once known THings once seen and felt and feared and ignored Once again, we turn away and deny Echoes reverberate in a chaotic mire of Unreasoning Again... and again... etched in decaying blood Reverberating in flesh and spoiled By the crushing, glacial cascade of the hourglass We lie to ourselves Crushed by the benediction of our own Weakness As we age and fail, Tendrils of betrayal a final prison We lie to ourselves |

6. | Breath of Void | 06:11 | Show lyrics |
The aether is a charnel-house Frozen in time By the exorbitant wave of rending Thrown forth from matter’s death-throes Realities pause And those with the temerity To simply watch and wait To stand in stupefaction The exhalation of negation draws inexorably closer Mesmerised by the promise of extinguishment Enraptured by the prospect of nothingness Uncountable cries rise up As one hideous, desperate fugue Razor away this pitiful raiment of mass Free us from the heavy sackcloth of our own knowledge Freeze and flense Release us from material bondage And unleash upon us a death-age of complete emptiness And yet the void does not hear Does not feel, does not think A breath colder than the furthest, rotting reaches of time itself Engulfs all, consumes all, ends all There can be no rebirth within this fractured fissure That once we called ’universe’ Now clutching like a ligature Gripping tight, opressive, choking Crushing the meaning from the material |

7. | Exsanguination | 08:03 | Show lyrics |
I saw all colour bleached from the sky I saw all life drained from the soils at my feet I saw a million souls stripped from their fleshy prisons I saw my own death staring back at me Through the filmy orbs of my own accuser I watched myself and this reality emptied I saw skin become pallid, diaphonous parchment One pitiful drop at a time, vigour drains As great wings of finality unfurl Throwing aeons into shadow Unseen by a legion of bloodless eyes Riven by a gradual weakening Perceiving naught Painless was the bleeding And so we felt nothing at our parting Life-essense reaved Transclucent skin bleached Emptying veins throb and stutter We fade to little more than ghosts Cold fringers press agains the surface of a sterilised credo Eyes glazed, a legion of ciphers bend low Thralls enthralled, supine before the eucharist A stained mirror reflecting naught but stagnation So willingly did we surrender Into this numb grasp of unmaking Our footing lost on foundations of vapour So willingly did we supplicate To a deity etched in the translucent tatters Of ignorance’s raiment in hopelessness befouled So willingly did we disappear So willingly did we disappear |

8. | Rendered in Onyx | 09:36 | Show lyrics |
A choir of unreality chimes A host of obsidian seraphim swarms Etched upon the tapestry of reason A litany of falsehoods awash with fear Fear of all-encompasing emptiness Fear of an infinity of the unknown Fear of the purity of meaninglessness Fear of a darkness that acts as a mirror to ignorance Carved in the very coldest regions of an uncaring bleak multiverse Hewn from strident monoliths of absence and vacuum And so I condemn a species that thrives on its own terror That derives essence from the spire of pity And I seek my place amongst the temples There are many places in which true wisdom hides Where the unbroken fabric of reality lies in wait Shrouded Cloaked in aether’s dark blessing Beyond the sight by those tethered To the dead weight of matter, to the prison of the flesh Penance is sought in that which is perceptible But no solace dwells within the rotten faberic of a half-truth Their systems crumble beneath a hailstorm Of unpicked knots of knowledge Palpitating sentience trembles Against the rearing menhirs of absolution Secrets buried in darkness Truth rendered in onyx |

1. | Exile’s Journey | 08:08 | Show lyrics |
A brutal banishment, A condemnation unfeeling, Compels me to wander, In dreadful isolation Why? Why must I leave behind all that once was mine? Ahead lies only an eternity of vacuum No life awaits here amongst the forlorn soils of the Malediction Fields. A people lost, A tribe without spirit tethered to a land that no longer remembers, Trapped within valleys that scream without mercy, Prayers to a long-dead body go unheeded and unheard. The ghostly cries of the abandoned carve ruin into the fabric of my senses. Yet my back is turned, My heart stone, There will be no return for one such as I. For I am but a man, Fassible yet free, Purity and principles scattered to the harsh winds, Stoic beneath waning skies swollen with the promises of pain. Descending spirals of a withering storm-scape, Echoing the chaos that roils within the fragile stem of the Earth. A brutal banishment, A condemnation unfeeling, Compels me to wander, In dreadful isolation. |

2. | A Witness to the Passing of Aeons | 07:07 | Show lyrics |
Uncoiling amongst the stars, my spirit-fight is endless, I abandoned the prison of flesh millenia ago, Parted my veins to shred the last veil, Shrugged aside the chains that anchored me. Left the shattered shell of my corporeal form to descend, Into the blackness of this malicious earth, And as my being merged with the very fabric of this withered planet A new pathway was opened before me. With each passing of the moon, With each cycle of regeneration, I felt a new strength bond with the very essence of my existence, An amalgamation of the aether and the nameless emissions of the void, Tethered to the flickering flame of my soul. Ascension thus was born and beyond these mortals realms I foar, Watching the stars collapse beneath the fury of the old ones. The febrile breath of the universe, Exhaled, Scattered, Dissipated, Carried on the drifting, timeless winds, I have watched civilisations rise and fall on this weakened planet, I have seen the weakness of man cleansed by the rage of the cosmos, Watched the skin of this decaying world scarified beyond recognition Lifelessness if all that remains as my endless vision, Watched the last light of reality gutter And die. |

3. | Colossal Voids | 08:32 | Show lyrics |
Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. These ashen waters swallow the grey skies, In this tumultuous churn I gasp and thrash, Human driftwood torn and flung, By the escalating currents of despair, All encompassing bleakness. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. The storm breaks, the grim expanse of the sky now reflects the maelstrom, All pervading grief foaks into the chaos wrought atmosphere. Shattered and tangled I am, Wrenched to and fro before finally I am dragged, Helpless and broken, Beneath the waves. Now my struglle ands, I sink beneath the angry roar, Surrendered to this unforgiving ocean. And here, below the frenzy, drowning in solemn grace, I am at peace. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. This still iron-hued expanse of nothingness, Echoes the forceful silence, Permeates my soul, I, the only stain on this perfect blank horizon, Lost to colossal voids. |

4. | As Buried Spirits Stir | 06:58 | Show lyrics |
And I watched the sun cross the sky A thousand thousand times, From within this tomb of earth, Waiting patiently for the sign, To be called by those who would summon us forth to wander once more, Under the waning moon across the bleakness of the fens. Once, many centuries ago, we were kings, Of an age now forgotten, Our dominion absolute, Our realms bound only by black seas and cliffs of ice. By sword and fire, blood and honour, we exacted our rule, Commanding the landscape with dread force, bereft of mercy. Now, we can hear the calling of desperate souls, Who have stood and watched these ancient fields raped, Scars run across what once was ours. Through the dust of ages, rage stirs us to walk once again. To stride unbound and unfettered under a shroud of twilight, Our pales eyes surveying the rotten remnants of a once-proud kingdom, The winds howl, the trees shiver, the harriers scream. As our deathmarch begins again. |

5. | The Warren | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Labyrinth of soil, twisting, writhing, ever changing, All life returns here, Death, decomposition rebirth. Ancient barrows exhale and beckon with hands of stone, I move towards the welcoming black, Allow my being to merge with the earth. And the soul wanders, And the soul wanders, Lost alone yet unafraid, To roam the warren for eternity. |
|||
6. | Lashed by Storm | 08:54 | Show lyrics |
Flayed by the driving rain, of black clouds scud across the sky, The world roars with rage and the very ground trembles. I watch as lightening spears the darkness, The stark outline of the trees stripped bare by winters ravaging chill. Wind screams, cutting the knives of sharpened frost, As I raise my arms to embrace the assault, All that lives cowers in the shadow of elemental wrath, Yet I stand and roar my challenge to the maelstrom. Mountains rear in the darkness, Colossal megaliths of malediction’s promise, Looming, immense, all knowing, Stoic against the fury of the storm. The raging tempest shrieks of hatred, Bunched clouds toil with the need to destroy, But I will remain unmoved in the face of the assault. I welcome the pain of nature’s vengeance. Eyes clenched shut, The freezing wind and stinging waters Fear my skin and slake the thirst in my yearning soul, Never have I felt so alive, Every nerve tingles, every sense razor-keen, This frail, thin, stooped prison of flesh, Punished and invigorated. Crushed into the sodden earth. And therein will remain forever. |

7. | Bereft | 11:49 | Show lyrics |
Alone... Hollow... Ashen. Life promises only death. And thus I am again sentenced to solitude, In silent contemplation, a vision framed in grey Falls upon world-weary eyes and brings torpor. The years behind left drained and colourless. I look within to fan the embers, Charred and enervated beyond recall to flame. For so long, I have journeyed, one weary step upon another, The dust of a decade’s failures ground underfoot. And so I fix my gaze to myriad desolation. The harsh wind punished a frail simulacra On the precipice of spiritual oblivion, Without and within only ashes remain. As the elements now I shall be. As one with the enduring stone and the onrishing waters of wild rivers. As one with the burnished hue of the dawn And the misty closure of the twilit evenfall. To cross the foils and stygian peatfields. To stride unfeeling towards the eternal periphery. These bitter lands have borne witness to so much That I now embrace within a lonely And burned-out will. When only distant memories chime across a spiritual vacuum, The last vestiges of life long since extinguished. A dying visage whipped by storms charged with the stench of despair. The entirety of my essence, the nucleus of my humanity now scoured. I am Bereft. |

Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. The storm breaks, the grim expanse of the sky now reflects the maelstrom, All pervading grief foaks into the chaos wrought atmosphere. Shattered and tangled I am, Wrenched to and fro before finally I am dragged, Helpless and broken, Beneath the waves. Now my struglle ands, I sink beneath the angry roar, Surrendered to this unforgiving ocean. And here, below the frenzy, drowning in solemn grace, I am at peace. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. I’m under this sea of sorrow, I’m under these waves. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. Let these waves take me away, Let this tide pull me away. This still iron-hued expanse of nothingness, Echoes the forceful silence, Permeates my soul, I, the only stain on this perfect blank horizon, Lost to colossal voids. |

4. | As Buried Spirits Stir | 06:58 | Show lyrics |
And I watched the sun cross the sky A thousand thousand times, From within this tomb of earth, Waiting patiently for the sign, To be called by those who would summon us forth to wander once more, Under the waning moon across the bleakness of the fens. Once, many centuries ago, we were kings, Of an age now forgotten, Our dominion absolute, Our realms bound only by black seas and cliffs of ice. By sword and fire, blood and honour, we exacted our rule, Commanding the landscape with dread force, bereft of mercy. Now, we can hear the calling of desperate souls, Who have stood and watched these ancient fields raped, Scars run across what once was ours. Through the dust of ages, rage stirs us to walk once again. To stride unbound and unfettered under a shroud of twilight, Our pales eyes surveying the rotten remnants of a once-proud kingdom, The winds howl, the trees shiver, the harriers scream. As our deathmarch begins again. |

5. | The Warren | 07:10 | Show lyrics |
Labyrinth of soil, twisting, writhing, ever changing, All life returns here, Death, decomposition rebirth. Ancient barrows exhale and beckon with hands of stone, I move towards the welcoming black, Allow my being to merge with the earth. And the soul wanders, And the soul wanders, Lost alone yet unafraid, To roam the warren for eternity. |

6. | Lashed by Storm | 08:54 | Show lyrics |
Flayed by the driving rain, of black clouds scud across the sky, The world roars with rage and the very ground trembles. I watch as lightening spears the darkness, The stark outline of the trees stripped bare by winters ravaging chill. Wind screams, cutting the knives of sharpened frost, As I raise my arms to embrace the assault, All that lives cowers in the shadow of elemental wrath, Yet I stand and roar my challenge to the maelstrom. Mountains rear in the darkness, Colossal megaliths of malediction’s promise, Looming, immense, all knowing, Stoic against the fury of the storm. The raging tempest shrieks of hatred, Bunched clouds toil with the need to destroy, But I will remain unmoved in the face of the assault. I welcome the pain of nature’s vengeance. Eyes clenched shut, The freezing wind and stinging waters Fear my skin and slake the thirst in my yearning soul, Never have I felt so alive, Every nerve tingles, every sense razor-keen, This frail, thin, stooped prison of flesh, Punished and invigorated. Crushed into the sodden earth. And therein will remain forever. |

7. | Bereft | 11:49 | Show lyrics |
Alone... Hollow... Ashen. Life promises only death. And thus I am again sentenced to solitude, In silent contemplation, a vision framed in grey Falls upon world-weary eyes and brings torpor. The years behind left drained and colourless. I look within to fan the embers, Charred and enervated beyond recall to flame. For so long, I have journeyed, one weary step upon another, The dust of a decade’s failures ground underfoot. And so I fix my gaze to myriad desolation. The harsh wind punished a frail simulacra On the precipice of spiritual oblivion, Without and within only ashes remain. As the elements now I shall be. As one with the enduring stone and the onrishing waters of wild rivers. As one with the burnished hue of the dawn And the misty closure of the twilit evenfall. To cross the foils and stygian peatfields. To stride unfeeling towards the eternal periphery. These bitter lands have borne witness to so much That I now embrace within a lonely And burned-out will. When only distant memories chime across a spiritual vacuum, The last vestiges of life long since extinguished. A dying visage whipped by storms charged with the stench of despair. The entirety of my essence, the nucleus of my humanity now scoured. I am Bereft. |

1. | Exile’s Journey | 08:08 | Show lyrics |
A brutal banishment, A condemnation unfeeling, Compels me to wander, In dreadful isolation Why? Why must I leave behind all that once was mine? Ahead lies only an eternity of vacuum No life awaits here amongst the forlorn soils of the Malediction Fields. A people lost, A tribe without spirit tethered to a land that no longer remembers, Trapped within valleys that scream without mercy, Prayers to a long-dead body go unheeded and unheard. The ghostly cries of the abandoned carve ruin into the fabric of my senses. Yet my back is turned, My heart stone, There will be no return for one such as I. For I am but a man, Fassible yet free, Purity and principles scattered to the harsh winds, Stoic beneath waning skies swollen with the promises of pain. Descending spirals of a withering storm-scape, Echoing the chaos that roils within the fragile stem of the Earth. A brutal banishment, A condemnation unfeeling, Compels me to wander, In dreadful isolation. |

2. | A Witness to the Passing of Aeons | 07:07 | Show lyrics |
Uncoiling amongst the stars, my spirit-fight is endless, I abandoned the prison of flesh millenia ago, Parted my veins to shred the last veil, Shrugged aside the chains that anchored me. Left the shattered shell of my corporeal form to descend, Into the blackness of this malicious earth, And as my being merged with the very fabric of this withered planet A new pathway was opened before me. With each passing of the moon, With each cycle of regeneration, I felt a new strength bond with the very essence of my existence, An amalgamation of the aether and the nameless emissions of the void, Tethered to the flickering flame of my soul. Ascension thus was born and beyond these mortals realms I foar, Watching the stars collapse beneath the fury of the old ones. The febrile breath of the universe, Exhaled, Scattered, Dissipated, Carried on the drifting, timeless winds, I have watched civilisations rise and fall on this weakened planet, I have seen the weakness of man cleansed by the rage of the cosmos, Watched the skin of this decaying world scarified beyond recognition Lifelessness if all that remains as my endless vision, Watched the last light of reality gutter And die. |

Beneath a skin of rotting leaves Under the shadows of ancient oaks Imbued by the soul of blackened earth I raise my arms to the roiling cloudscape The jagged spear of lightning’s wrath Rends the midnight canvas of this anointed hour By storm and thunder, gale and blizzard By the hammer of chaos we ride My voice raises as the aether howls for vengeance To scour the fabric of this fragmented age Arise! Arise! Thou who would reclaim lost wisdom And bring back knowledge to the weakened carcass Of a world beset by the choirs of the lost Thy damnation without end! |

Embrace the fallen leaves of the burned Cry havoc these paeans of woe Ten thousand sins sliced upon the canvas Of a furnace as yet undimmed The furnace is undimmed These pyres scar a torpid sky Steepled are the burning mounds These offerings to eternity are legion Beacons of war Beacons of sorrow Flames that yearn For blood on the ’morrow Cleansing Never to be extinguished Remorseless And when the storm of our rage is thus spent And crows stir the cinders of loss What legacy remains in a frozen abyss Strewn with the detritus of vengeance Slaked are the thirsts That sear the nation But these throats yearn for more Throats seared by hatred’s screams Parched by the lust for conquest Soils turned to lifeless dust underfoot Temples of rock reduced ruin The birth and death of Empire Rips at the skein of this world |

From the utmost depths In blackest earth-flesh entombed I have arisen again The bedrock cracked by celestial vengeance Mountains cleft in twain Forests cindered by starfire Stir me from this greatest slumber Blood runs once more Blood of the forgotten seers Blood of those buried of mist-shrouded loss Veins pulse To banish millennia upon millennia of oblivion To unleash a howling keen of new knowledge Knowledge Ichor-smeared eyes bear witness to a firmament of turmoil My vision clears, my purpose hardens Ascendance - thy gift sears Burned by the embers of the dying stars It was once said that there is beauty in destruction That death brings serenity In the final exhalation of eternal peace Yet this thrashing conflagration of ending That scours all senses and purges the mind Brings only desolation And sorrow and woe Beliefs now cinders, credos in ruins A cold wind brushes the dead skin of withered ideals |

From the moss-wreathed skin A whisper of eternity The arms of the soil-bound sun A heart that beats and speaks in dust The teeth of worship Spread their message to the stars The time etched spine that turns the earth That builds a bridge beyond These sentinels stand tall With roots entrenched in memory’s blood With silent purpose and astral intent Forged in the cycles of ages Broken for the flesh of tombs Their spectral tongues reach through the atmosphere To chronicle the churning of civilisations The sky is a sphere The sky is sphere in the burning night As the vacant trails blaze with life When voices speak the wheels grind Now torn away from the storm of time As they haze through endless motion As the slate boned pylons mark their course As ancient knowledge floods the graves These sentinels stand tall The gate remains unmoved A monument to the intangible aether This message faded to ashes Their cries are as nothing in the spiraling winds The gate remains unmoved, unbroken The message faded to ashes The door now locked on worlds unimagined The key is lost, unknown, forgotten Lost, unknown, forgotten |

Prostrate we are On bended knee and foreheads pressed against the earth Stained with blood The altar is crimson yet the soils remain unslaked Before the vastness of the megalith Under the glare of a thousand veiled stares So much more needed More to be given to those beneath Present thy fragile forms Surrender... Supplicant Enshrine in roots, the first ones scream out A demand for vengeance A clarion call that resonates Throughout that cold void of forgotten epochs In silent serried ranks we move To the colossal pulse of the unknowable Yielding Willing This malleable swarm Compelled to carve remembrance Harbingers of sundered generations Slaves to a forgotten will ’Casting our gaze to the star-studded skies whilst our souls bleed into the thirsty earth - yet silent they remain The keening wails of the singers of the summoning songs remain unanswered, unheard. Yawning abyss, lifeless heavens unheeding but our supplication endears, the need for sacrifice resonates and echoes throughout generations before us and generations to come Shriveled wastelands tremble To the remorseless march of the lost Shackled in chains of surrender Slaves we are On broken knees and foreheads driven into the earth Drenched with blood The altar is eternal. |

Here... Down within the dead pile Down amongst the dead "Down within the dead pile Down amongst the dead" Calling... Nameless... Rootless Currents, ply thy lash Scorched and drowned Punished and forgotten Left to oblivion’s embrace Dwell... Eschaton Carry this rock, our testament A memorial etched in stone (For each of us outside) - one tablet One vessel, one guide, one totem Whose roots dwell far below At the depths Who amongst them shall bear the names? At the dawn of the ending? When the crimson window opens To flood all with the rage of the firmament? To name is to remember To remember is to summon To give form from memory This keening is sounds forever Thy back stoops low Under the weight of these stones Where upon the judgment of the end-time Will be laid bare upon a blackened canvas To honor the litany of myriad of past worlds Immortalized, crystalline To be dissolved within pyres of subjugation And there will be no sound Silent are the funerals - For circles wreathed in ash |

Embrace the fallen leaves of the burned Cry havoc these paeans of woe Ten thousand sins sliced upon the canvas Of a furnace as yet undimmed The furnace is undimmed These pyres scar a torpid sky Steepled are the burning mounds These offerings to eternity are legion Beacons of war Beacons of sorrow Flames that yearn For blood on the ’morrow Cleansing Never to be extinguished Remorseless And when the storm of our rage is thus spent And crows stir the cinders of loss What legacy remains in a frozen abyss Strewn with the detritus of vengeance Slaked are the thirsts That sear the nation But these throats yearn for more Throats seared by hatred’s screams Parched by the lust for conquest Soils turned to lifeless dust underfoot Temples of rock reduced ruin The birth and death of Empire Rips at the skein of this world |

To march again and again Under the sanguine banners that draped the skies Clouds rain sodden ash and her eyes stream with tears All that lies before us Carrion seas and vulpine cries Carrion seas and vulpine cries Aeons crushed Time-lapse devastation Epochs fold The breath of civilisations forged in ash Our names were written in embers Are carved into the bedrock of the fallen Sand blown carcasses weave a weathered tapestry On which we paint the lexicon of extinction Litanies of loss Chanted at bruised skies Scarred by the violence Of ideals embroiled Dogma - credo Unstitch reason Cauterized - the feverish mantras That brushed the lips of the spectral prophets Crimson ichor stains the maw of the apostle Desolation flows in torrents Beacons of war Beacons of sorrow Illuminate the death-throes That welcome the ’morrow Dead this wasteland where once stalked phalanx of dreams |

From the utmost depths In blackest earth-flesh entombed I have arisen again The bedrock cracked by celestial vengeance Mountains cleft in twain Forests cindered by starfire Stir me from this greatest slumber Blood runs once more Blood of the forgotten seers Blood of those buried of mist-shrouded loss Veins pulse To banish millennia upon millennia of oblivion To unleash a howling keen of new knowledge Knowledge Ichor-smeared eyes bear witness to a firmament of turmoil My vision clears, my purpose hardens Ascendance - thy gift sears Burned by the embers of the dying stars It was once said that there is beauty in destruction That death brings serenity In the final exhalation of eternal peace Yet this thrashing conflagration of ending That scours all senses and purges the mind Brings only desolation And sorrow and woe Beliefs now cinders, credos in ruins A cold wind brushes the dead skin of withered ideals |

All will fall All will sink All will drown All will fade with time I scan the horizon Watching, waiting To gaze upon the grey spine of the cathedral spire Piercing the clouds that swathe this blasted horizon A totem of the permanence within this fog laden expanse Eternal I am, yet each tread On these desolate soils And through these banks of rearing sedge Enervate me ever further The ghostly breath of winter enshrouds Reaper - Harvester Scourer of essence The inevitable embrace whispers from an endpoint yet to be Rotten wings spread with a torpid snap A roiling howl that promises only a bouquet of woe Gathering in volume, a colossal choir builds Unearthly presence bleeds shadow over a broken landscape Mists unfurl in a tide of unspoken promises Supplicating embrace of ten thousand forgotten threnodies Yet I can hear them... each and every one Wordless these paeans to harrowed incarnation Silence Raised to a deafening roar that shreds the senses Eyes and ears forced shut, I revel in abnegation And let my soul-sense wander Slithering bent fingers of gelid ghostliness Probe the blackened slopes of that stoic island tomb or temple? Only the dead can know Their unrelenting mantra unveils naught save timeless prophecy And still... these wretched revenants whisper All will fall All will sink All will drown All will fade with time |

Time That humiliating arbitrary adjudicator Your cruelty builds in an endless cycle of decrepitude Skin slackens with each passing seconds Flesh weakens and softens Bones stiffen in agony Dreams dissolve Hopes slough A blackened pulp of deepest despair A mind enfeebled and afraid Gazes back upon a path of waste and regret Gazes ahead only to t he cold and the empty All will fall All will fail All will fall All will fail And so with each heavy, broken-backed step I inch closer to my reckoning Sinews stiff, sloughing, sagging Resonating with slow decay like catgut strings Draped across a stave of rotting timber The cathedral looms... Tearing, oppressive, stentorian Cries once echoed in the chapels of cold stone Where cowled figures dripped with feverish piety And candles of reverence flickered in the torpid darkness of unanswered prayers Stoic monolith that bleeds black redemption Onyx shroud shed like skin Penance driven into the maw of the soil Stygian crust that chokes on the carcasses of the forgotten There is no room here Suffocation... Rejection... A hopeless soul slithers in vapid vestibules Echoes Silhouettes Fading notions of what once breathed false proclamations Granite shaped by the echoes of supplication Myriad visages gaze in judgement A solemn phalanx stands as one One singular totem of accusation Choral, somnolent striking the marrow Of a soul laced with corrosive regret Guilty - Pathetic - Cringing Crushed by stone Withering within the inquisition cloisters The last shreds of waning hope thus scatter I cannot see what lurks within these sepulchral shadows Emanating whispers of a thousand past condemnations One thousand past condemnations! Freezing hands reach - coiling, cloying My name is but dust And I flee again |

The spirit songs scream across wind-burned heaths Flensing the rind of my very soul Corrosive embrace comforts In an inexorable miasma of dissolution A threnody that scours with the paralyzing raptor claws Of a lifetime of unrealized purpose And it as at this point that revelation strikes With the force of a thousand driven spear-points A face etched with the lexicon of destitution Stares back through pallid, jaundiced eyes That glitter with suppressed, shrieking desperation To rend To claw away the threads of cloying carnation To force this stooped sarcophagus Into the carcass-field beneath my feet Abnegation - silence - void The only triptych I seek Yet Extant not is thy solace Within this corrupted patina of deathsoil Still the Cathedral stands tall And in those febrile shadows Hopes of centuries shrivel and die I must move on I must haul this weary patchwork of cursive limbs Through a translucent mire Endless, oppressive wake Each tread summons the efforts of a thousand scouring exhalations Inch by inch, step by step, slowing, stooping Until - like a puppet with strings severed by the scythe of embitterment A figure collapses |

I descend I descend again I closed my eyes and still these vistas rend The waning sun... it’s light so thing Sickly, these pale shafts press At a gruesome fog, an entangling torpor Stripping the fenland air of pellucidity Writhing chains of spiritual desolation reach And beckons a shattered soul back into darkness As the soils part in welcome A riven aperture to embrace a sundered spirit Closing like a withered fist Around a frond of pale tissue Weak - so very weak Cold - frozen to the marrow Encased by the frost of loathing I have nothing left to give Even my flesh presents naught A cross-stitched tapestry of past failings Pallid vessel of spiritual exsanguination Home to the dread-stare of these listless eyes Each sordid limb a tendril of pain A beacon of suffering, a spite of torment Aflame with gangrenous agony This hemisphere of decrepitude demands extinction Extinguish me Yearning for ending I beg for the embrace of the fens A final resting place - marked only by a henge of dead trees The cathedral stands, omniscient A memorial to all those who walked within these shadows Unmoved by the toil of the lost Who sink without markings into the fathomless murk |

And thus No headstone will mark our passing No mourners shall pay tribute No tithes to those who surrender to blackness No offerings for those entombed in this barren land The bells toll only within the strata of lost ages Earth, death, time and sorrow our parting hymns The circle has no end - our solace, no beginning Peace is only found in these unheralded, desolate kingdoms Withing the silence of the soils Amongst the mass grave of the forgotten Cemeteries forged in peat A cenotaph of bog oak Shivering flesh cupped in the shriveled claws of the fenland mausoleum Welcomed by a womb of cold earth Coiling like a foetus, I succumb to the silence Amputating the senses Embracing a well of oblivion I yearn to dissolve into the infinite Where past, present and future are bereft of meaning Where each echo of my torrid material self Drips slowly into a sink hole of desolation Where each reflection of the flesh Causes a tidal surge of misery A patchwork of memories floats before my mind’s eye And it is with the gratitude of a lifetime I witness them fade Dissipating and drifting as morning mists Eradicated for all time I pray for nothingness My starved will craves void And in this stark cradle of dead fen-flesh I have found solace I have found my reward I have found release I have found my blessed death |

As if through a web of obsidian silk My sight returns as from a dream A dream empty of thoughts and sounds and visions And I remember it being one of the most beautiful places I had ever been I had never before that point known such peace A winter for the spirit, I was harvested of essence A place of endless solace placating this soul’s corroded ruins Bereft of flesh, divorced of earth, severed of being And now I can drift once again but soaring free I can look down upon all I once know - all I once was And see with the cold, crystalline clarity of the dead Through eyes unmisted, a mind unfogged, free of the oppressive weight Of the cathedral’s dead stone Of this body’s withered flesh Of this mind’s shattered synapses I didn’t think such a quiet was possible That the relentless roil of rage and despair thrumming like lava through me Could be extinguished And given over to a plateau of calm stillness I embrace this season of ending With every fiber of my departing consciousness Frozen and eternal A winter for the soul carried on oblivion’s ghostly breath One last final exhortation To the violent winds that rend and rend and rend and rend I surrender I descend I dissolve I end. |

1. | The Keening Soils | 08:42 | Show lyrics |
Alone I wander, stoic and resolute Through whipping winds and driving rains Towards the nebulous refuge of the distant isle Thrust cloudward from the blackened shroud of these plains And yet... a clamour of voices gathers Fell words carried on the roaring breath Of a tumultuous storm that waxes large On the crest of the distant horizon So many laments So many regrets A chorus of longing, a choir of woe Pours from the earth like fog An enveloping miasma that carries with it Untold centuries of despair A lament for the lost A keening unheralded Unending, unheard By one soul save this singular, solitary wanderer A wanderer become mourner, one who’s spirit now thrums To the resonant howls of the ancient dead And I cry for them with each step I bleed for them, I howl for them The burdensome yoke of a millennia of forgotten suffering Bends me to the earth with chains of unspent regret I am on my knees in a reed-wreathed realm Clasped by the hands of these pitiful soils I know now I will never reach the isle For I am now one with these voices I am their shield, their banner, their herald My realm is here, my refuge found And to the next lonely wayfarer who finds their way To this bleak and forlorn expanse of loss Mine will be the loudest voice amongst the many thousands Shrieking their siren song until the of time |

All will fall All will sink All will drown All will fade with time I scan the horizon Watching, waiting To gaze upon the grey spine of the cathedral spire Piercing the clouds that swathe this blasted horizon A totem of the permanence within this fog laden expanse Eternal I am, yet each tread On these desolate soils And through these banks of rearing sedge Enervate me ever further The ghostly breath of winter enshrouds Reaper - Harvester Scourer of essence The inevitable embrace whispers from an endpoint yet to be Rotten wings spread with a torpid snap A roiling howl that promises only a bouquet of woe Gathering in volume, a colossal choir builds Unearthly presence bleeds shadow over a broken landscape Mists unfurl in a tide of unspoken promises Supplicating embrace of ten thousand forgotten threnodies Yet I can hear them... each and every one Wordless these paeans to harrowed incarnation Silence Raised to a deafening roar that shreds the senses Eyes and ears forced shut, I revel in abnegation And let my soul-sense wander Slithering bent fingers of gelid ghostliness Probe the blackened slopes of that stoic island tomb or temple? Only the dead can know Their unrelenting mantra unveils naught save timeless prophecy And still... these wretched revenants whisper All will fall All will sink All will drown All will fade with time |

Time That humiliating arbitrary adjudicator Your cruelty builds in an endless cycle of decrepitude Skin slackens with each passing seconds Flesh weakens and softens Bones stiffen in agony Dreams dissolve Hopes slough A blackened pulp of deepest despair A mind enfeebled and afraid Gazes back upon a path of waste and regret Gazes ahead only to t he cold and the empty All will fall All will fail All will fall All will fail And so with each heavy, broken-backed step I inch closer to my reckoning Sinews stiff, sloughing, sagging Resonating with slow decay like catgut strings Draped across a stave of rotting timber The cathedral looms... Tearing, oppressive, stentorian Cries once echoed in the chapels of cold stone Where cowled figures dripped with feverish piety And candles of reverence flickered in the torpid darkness of unanswered prayers Stoic monolith that bleeds black redemption Onyx shroud shed like skin Penance driven into the maw of the soil Stygian crust that chokes on the carcasses of the forgotten There is no room here Suffocation... Rejection... A hopeless soul slithers in vapid vestibules Echoes Silhouettes Fading notions of what once breathed false proclamations Granite shaped by the echoes of supplication Myriad visages gaze in judgement A solemn phalanx stands as one One singular totem of accusation Choral, somnolent striking the marrow Of a soul laced with corrosive regret Guilty - Pathetic - Cringing Crushed by stone Withering within the inquisition cloisters The last shreds of waning hope thus scatter I cannot see what lurks within these sepulchral shadows Emanating whispers of a thousand past condemnations One thousand past condemnations! Freezing hands reach - coiling, cloying My name is but dust And I flee again |

The spirit songs scream across wind-burned heaths Flensing the rind of my very soul Corrosive embrace comforts In an inexorable miasma of dissolution A threnody that scours with the paralyzing raptor claws Of a lifetime of unrealized purpose And it as at this point that revelation strikes With the force of a thousand driven spear-points A face etched with the lexicon of destitution Stares back through pallid, jaundiced eyes That glitter with suppressed, shrieking desperation To rend To claw away the threads of cloying carnation To force this stooped sarcophagus Into the carcass-field beneath my feet Abnegation - silence - void The only triptych I seek Yet Extant not is thy solace Within this corrupted patina of deathsoil Still the Cathedral stands tall And in those febrile shadows Hopes of centuries shrivel and die I must move on I must haul this weary patchwork of cursive limbs Through a translucent mire Endless, oppressive wake Each tread summons the efforts of a thousand scouring exhalations Inch by inch, step by step, slowing, stooping Until - like a puppet with strings severed by the scythe of embitterment A figure collapses |

I descend I descend again I closed my eyes and still these vistas rend The waning sun... it’s light so thing Sickly, these pale shafts press At a gruesome fog, an entangling torpor Stripping the fenland air of pellucidity Writhing chains of spiritual desolation reach And beckons a shattered soul back into darkness As the soils part in welcome A riven aperture to embrace a sundered spirit Closing like a withered fist Around a frond of pale tissue Weak - so very weak Cold - frozen to the marrow Encased by the frost of loathing I have nothing left to give Even my flesh presents naught A cross-stitched tapestry of past failings Pallid vessel of spiritual exsanguination Home to the dread-stare of these listless eyes Each sordid limb a tendril of pain A beacon of suffering, a spite of torment Aflame with gangrenous agony This hemisphere of decrepitude demands extinction Extinguish me Yearning for ending I beg for the embrace of the fens A final resting place - marked only by a henge of dead trees The cathedral stands, omniscient A memorial to all those who walked within these shadows Unmoved by the toil of the lost Who sink without markings into the fathomless murk |

And thus No headstone will mark our passing No mourners shall pay tribute No tithes to those who surrender to blackness No offerings for those entombed in this barren land The bells toll only within the strata of lost ages Earth, death, time and sorrow our parting hymns The circle has no end - our solace, no beginning Peace is only found in these unheralded, desolate kingdoms Withing the silence of the soils Amongst the mass grave of the forgotten Cemeteries forged in peat A cenotaph of bog oak Shivering flesh cupped in the shriveled claws of the fenland mausoleum Welcomed by a womb of cold earth Coiling like a foetus, I succumb to the silence Amputating the senses Embracing a well of oblivion I yearn to dissolve into the infinite Where past, present and future are bereft of meaning Where each echo of my torrid material self Drips slowly into a sink hole of desolation Where each reflection of the flesh Causes a tidal surge of misery A patchwork of memories floats before my mind’s eye And it is with the gratitude of a lifetime I witness them fade Dissipating and drifting as morning mists Eradicated for all time I pray for nothingness My starved will craves void And in this stark cradle of dead fen-flesh I have found solace I have found my reward I have found release I have found my blessed death |

As if through a web of obsidian silk My sight returns as from a dream A dream empty of thoughts and sounds and visions And I remember it being one of the most beautiful places I had ever been I had never before that point known such peace A winter for the spirit, I was harvested of essence A place of endless solace placating this soul’s corroded ruins Bereft of flesh, divorced of earth, severed of being And now I can drift once again but soaring free I can look down upon all I once know - all I once was And see with the cold, crystalline clarity of the dead Through eyes unmisted, a mind unfogged, free of the oppressive weight Of the cathedral’s dead stone Of this body’s withered flesh Of this mind’s shattered synapses I didn’t think such a quiet was possible That the relentless roil of rage and despair thrumming like lava through me Could be extinguished And given over to a plateau of calm stillness I embrace this season of ending With every fiber of my departing consciousness Frozen and eternal A winter for the soul carried on oblivion’s ghostly breath One last final exhortation To the violent winds that rend and rend and rend and rend I surrender I descend I dissolve I end. |

3. | The Keening Soils | 08:42 | Show lyrics |
Alone I wander, stoic and resolute Through whipping winds and driving rains Towards the nebulous refuge of the distant isle Thrust cloudward from the blackened shroud of these plains And yet... a clamour of voices gathers Fell words carried on the roaring breath Of a tumultuous storm that waxes large On the crest of the distant horizon So many laments So many regrets A chorus of longing, a choir of woe Pours from the earth like fog An enveloping miasma that carries with it Untold centuries of despair A lament for the lost A keening unheralded Unending, unheard By one soul save this singular, solitary wanderer A wanderer become mourner, one who’s spirit now thrums To the resonant howls of the ancient dead And I cry for them with each step I bleed for them, I howl for them The burdensome yoke of a millennia of forgotten suffering Bends me to the earth with chains of unspent regret I am on my knees in a reed-wreathed realm Clasped by the hands of these pitiful soils I know now I will never reach the isle For I am now one with these voices I am their shield, their banner, their herald My realm is here, my refuge found And to the next lonely wayfarer who finds their way To this bleak and forlorn expanse of loss Mine will be the loudest voice amongst the many thousands Shrieking their siren song until the of time |

Coruscate Uncoil and reach Enshroud Rend and then unmake I witness eternally Unknowable depths of firmament Coruscate Uncoil and reach Enshroud Rend and then unmake I witness eternally Enveloping waves of negation The fathoms of our reality lie steeped in bitter, blackened bedrock Stained with the grim poison of ignorance Shrieking clouds scud across a collapsing sky All that we prayed for splayed against futility’s flensed carcass |

2. | The Dead Light (Part 1) | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
Eyes pointed skyward A broad shroud of world-death illumination Against a backdrop of absence Accretion discs scythe the heavens Quanta bombard Carried on unseen aetheric streams Shards of energy Weightless Soundless Yet carrying the stories Of countless conflagrations OF untold worlds Birthed, cooled, enriched, given life Verdant patterns of myriad civilisations The rise and fall of empires The ebb and flow of awareness And when all is put to the scour The flames awash and spheres scorched to rock Uncountable entities extinguished forever Sentience unravelled to bear no trace Upon the lifeless crust of dark matter The purest silence this most mute of crowds Singularity reclaims its own Still the stories travel A tapestry of the past plays out Solar death-throes glitter Envoys of destruction unimagined We see death without bearing witness We see genocide bereft of extinction’s bleak finality Litanies of ending drift unheard The void is little more than a cauldron of silence Debris Dust Not even memories are left to the hunger of elemental rebirth |

4. | Nebula | 07:05 | Show lyrics |
Unfurl thyself Uncoil amongst the sterile breath Of myriad star-births As fauna hewn from singularity A shimmering pellucid bloom of myopic radiation Paints a voidscape of febrile beauty Upon the weakeneing fabric of accepted reality The bedrock of faith naught but dust What secrets thus dwell within this sanguine shroud? What lies hidden within burning alcoves thus aflame? The fires rage - a silent maelstrom The shadows thicken - where there is light, there is darkness Illumination underscored by the umbra of the unknown Starlight - iridescent, violent and vivid Pour raditation unto the vortex of ignorance A hopeless, pitiful yearning grows TO rend the skein of etherial emptiness I reach towards a patina of death-born promises Clutching at rotting gossamer threads I call again - a wordless scream for knowledge I call again - a desperate howl for revelation Granted the limitless sight of the ascended I turn away now blasted by unravelled thoughts I call again - silent greets a throat-shredding plea I call again - feeble cries echo in a vacuum of nothingness |

5. | Labyrinthine Echoes | 09:52 | Show lyrics |
We see but cannot see We hear but cannot hear What we face with our senses is the purest illusion Transmissions from a realm of the unknowable All is filtered through the withered substrate Of perceptions worn thin like gauze Rotting through as a death-shroud Stained with corpse-dust When the last of us ceases to trust All that is perceived, all that is known All that is experienced Where then for a mind that cracks free of its moorings? To the maze of memory we thus retreat Inwards and downwards To the fog of time long dead And the straining patterns that fail to contain Things once known THings once seen and felt and feared and ignored Once again, we turn away and deny Echoes reverberate in a chaotic mire of Unreasoning Again... and again... etched in decaying blood Reverberating in flesh and spoiled By the crushing, glacial cascade of the hourglass We lie to ourselves Crushed by the benediction of our own Weakness As we age and fail, Tendrils of betrayal a final prison We lie to ourselves |

6. | Breath of Void | 06:11 | Show lyrics |
The aether is a charnel-house Frozen in time By the exorbitant wave of rending Thrown forth from matter’s death-throes Realities pause And those with the temerity To simply watch and wait To stand in stupefaction The exhalation of negation draws inexorably closer Mesmerised by the promise of extinguishment Enraptured by the prospect of nothingness Uncountable cries rise up As one hideous, desperate fugue Razor away this pitiful raiment of mass Free us from the heavy sackcloth of our own knowledge Freeze and flense Release us from material bondage And unleash upon us a death-age of complete emptiness And yet the void does not hear Does not feel, does not think A breath colder than the furthest, rotting reaches of time itself Engulfs all, consumes all, ends all There can be no rebirth within this fractured fissure That once we called ’universe’ Now clutching like a ligature Gripping tight, opressive, choking Crushing the meaning from the material |

7. | Exsanguination | 08:03 | Show lyrics |
I saw all colour bleached from the sky I saw all life drained from the soils at my feet I saw a million souls stripped from their fleshy prisons I saw my own death staring back at me Through the filmy orbs of my own accuser I watched myself and this reality emptied I saw skin become pallid, diaphonous parchment One pitiful drop at a time, vigour drains As great wings of finality unfurl Throwing aeons into shadow Unseen by a legion of bloodless eyes Riven by a gradual weakening Perceiving naught Painless was the bleeding And so we felt nothing at our parting Life-essense reaved Transclucent skin bleached Emptying veins throb and stutter We fade to little more than ghosts Cold fringers press agains the surface of a sterilised credo Eyes glazed, a legion of ciphers bend low Thralls enthralled, supine before the eucharist A stained mirror reflecting naught but stagnation So willingly did we surrender Into this numb grasp of unmaking Our footing lost on foundations of vapour So willingly did we supplicate To a deity etched in the translucent tatters Of ignorance’s raiment in hopelessness befouled So willingly did we disappear So willingly did we disappear |

A choir of unreality chimes A host of obsidian seraphim swarms Etched upon the tapestry of reason A litany of falsehoods awash with fear Fear of all-encompasing emptiness Fear of an infinity of the unknown Fear of the purity of meaninglessness Fear of a darkness that acts as a mirror to ignorance Carved in the very coldest regions of an uncaring bleak multiverse Hewn from strident monoliths of absence and vacuum And so I condemn a species that thrives on its own terror That derives essence from the spire of pity And I seek my place amongst the temples There are many places in which true wisdom hides Where the unbroken fabric of reality lies in wait Shrouded Cloaked in aether’s dark blessing Beyond the sight by those tethered To the dead weight of matter, to the prison of the flesh Penance is sought in that which is perceptible But no solace dwells within the rotten faberic of a half-truth Their systems crumble beneath a hailstorm Of unpicked knots of knowledge Palpitating sentience trembles Against the rearing menhirs of absolution Secrets buried in darkness Truth rendered in onyx |

1. | Witness | 05:55 | Show lyrics |
Coruscate Uncoil and reach Enshroud Rend and then unmake I witness eternally Unknowable depths of firmament Coruscate Uncoil and reach Enshroud Rend and then unmake I witness eternally Enveloping waves of negation The fathoms of our reality lie steeped in bitter, blackened bedrock Stained with the grim poison of ignorance Shrieking clouds scud across a collapsing sky All that we prayed for splayed against futility’s flensed carcass |

4. | Nebula | 07:05 | Show lyrics |
Unfurl thyself Uncoil amongst the sterile breath Of myriad star-births As fauna hewn from singularity A shimmering pellucid bloom of myopic radiation Paints a voidscape of febrile beauty Upon the weakeneing fabric of accepted reality The bedrock of faith naught but dust What secrets thus dwell within this sanguine shroud? What lies hidden within burning alcoves thus aflame? The fires rage - a silent maelstrom The shadows thicken - where there is light, there is darkness Illumination underscored by the umbra of the unknown Starlight - iridescent, violent and vivid Pour raditation unto the vortex of ignorance A hopeless, pitiful yearning grows TO rend the skein of etherial emptiness I reach towards a patina of death-born promises Clutching at rotting gossamer threads I call again - a wordless scream for knowledge I call again - a desperate howl for revelation Granted the limitless sight of the ascended I turn away now blasted by unravelled thoughts I call again - silent greets a throat-shredding plea I call again - feeble cries echo in a vacuum of nothingness |

5. | Labyrinthine Echoes | 09:52 | Show lyrics |
We see but cannot see We hear but cannot hear What we face with our senses is the purest illusion Transmissions from a realm of the unknowable All is filtered through the withered substrate Of perceptions worn thin like gauze Rotting through as a death-shroud Stained with corpse-dust When the last of us ceases to trust All that is perceived, all that is known All that is experienced Where then for a mind that cracks free of its moorings? To the maze of memory we thus retreat Inwards and downwards To the fog of time long dead And the straining patterns that fail to contain Things once known THings once seen and felt and feared and ignored Once again, we turn away and deny Echoes reverberate in a chaotic mire of Unreasoning Again... and again... etched in decaying blood Reverberating in flesh and spoiled By the crushing, glacial cascade of the hourglass We lie to ourselves Crushed by the benediction of our own Weakness As we age and fail, Tendrils of betrayal a final prison We lie to ourselves |

6. | Breath of Void | 06:11 | Show lyrics |
The aether is a charnel-house Frozen in time By the exorbitant wave of rending Thrown forth from matter’s death-throes Realities pause And those with the temerity To simply watch and wait To stand in stupefaction The exhalation of negation draws inexorably closer Mesmerised by the promise of extinguishment Enraptured by the prospect of nothingness Uncountable cries rise up As one hideous, desperate fugue Razor away this pitiful raiment of mass Free us from the heavy sackcloth of our own knowledge Freeze and flense Release us from material bondage And unleash upon us a death-age of complete emptiness And yet the void does not hear Does not feel, does not think A breath colder than the furthest, rotting reaches of time itself Engulfs all, consumes all, ends all There can be no rebirth within this fractured fissure That once we called ’universe’ Now clutching like a ligature Gripping tight, opressive, choking Crushing the meaning from the material |

7. | Exsanguination | 08:03 | Show lyrics |
I saw all colour bleached from the sky I saw all life drained from the soils at my feet I saw a million souls stripped from their fleshy prisons I saw my own death staring back at me Through the filmy orbs of my own accuser I watched myself and this reality emptied I saw skin become pallid, diaphonous parchment One pitiful drop at a time, vigour drains As great wings of finality unfurl Throwing aeons into shadow Unseen by a legion of bloodless eyes Riven by a gradual weakening Perceiving naught Painless was the bleeding And so we felt nothing at our parting Life-essense reaved Transclucent skin bleached Emptying veins throb and stutter We fade to little more than ghosts Cold fringers press agains the surface of a sterilised credo Eyes glazed, a legion of ciphers bend low Thralls enthralled, supine before the eucharist A stained mirror reflecting naught but stagnation So willingly did we surrender Into this numb grasp of unmaking Our footing lost on foundations of vapour So willingly did we supplicate To a deity etched in the translucent tatters Of ignorance’s raiment in hopelessness befouled So willingly did we disappear So willingly did we disappear |

2. | The Dead Light (Part 1) | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
Eyes pointed skyward A broad shroud of world-death illumination Against a backdrop of absence Accretion discs scythe the heavens Quanta bombard Carried on unseen aetheric streams Shards of energy Weightless Soundless Yet carrying the stories Of countless conflagrations OF untold worlds Birthed, cooled, enriched, given life Verdant patterns of myriad civilisations The rise and fall of empires The ebb and flow of awareness And when all is put to the scour The flames awash and spheres scorched to rock Uncountable entities extinguished forever Sentience unravelled to bear no trace Upon the lifeless crust of dark matter The purest silence this most mute of crowds Singularity reclaims its own Still the stories travel A tapestry of the past plays out Solar death-throes glitter Envoys of destruction unimagined We see death without bearing witness We see genocide bereft of extinction’s bleak finality Litanies of ending drift unheard The void is little more than a cauldron of silence Debris Dust Not even memories are left to the hunger of elemental rebirth |
