lyrics

I cannot accept this as true / Found my life’s purpose in conversations with you / Counterpoint to violent mind, to my excess, is laid to rest / Forgive me for what I’m about to do / I’ve searched and I’ve tried but there is no other way / For you, death was a door / For me, a secret passage into the hollow sanctuary of my adversaries / Open your eyes as I feign closing mine / Withering, yet alive / Mimic their saccharine savior and rise / All of my life has led me to this, I will not fail / Farewell, my love / So long, my sons / I was baptized into deception before this unholy immersion / How foolish must you be not to see that we only made it this far with / Fraud, deceit, bloodshed and treachery? / We are feared as the eye of the storm / Will your dead god hung from a tree descend, intervene? / Fight back as long as you please / You’ll never be rid of me / I’m in your teeth, in your skin, in your bones / I’m under the sea / With the stars / In the stones / March through the streets / Candles and cross held high / Crowds gather round / Thinking the storm passed by / To the altar I sail / Dagger pressed to my chest / It’s time / My sacrifice is satisfied / And the world will finally see my hardships transpired / Now, I rise / And taking them all by surprise / Draw my blade, unafraid / Don’t move / Make my last move - King takes Bishop / I take the crown hostage / Follow me down to the locked gates / To let the nightmare into your dreams / You thought you could hold back the tide / Of history and entropy / We will not meet again in heaven / The blood on my hands made sure of that / Though it grieves me to know that I’ll be alone / Beyond this world, my name will be known

The vocals are amazing in both Bereft and Augury + their buildup tracks right before. It's too bad that the instrumental version of this album isn't the actual instruments, so I can't rip them on Audacity. lesserknownsounds

I like the fact that this guy is not in “omg I love djent so much I’ll only let *that* express in my songs” mode. With his friends he crafts thoughtful and diverse songs which can be either playful or touching. Alice M.

I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too Faugus
