I’ve traveled so far from home / Seeking the riches, yet I still roam / The legends tell me it must be here / I feel the presence, I must be near / A warm glow emits from a nearby door / My body shakes, a sensation so pure / I’m drawn to this room as if it were meant to be / As if some higher power were calling out to me / Stumbling upon the throne of a god / I find myself urged to follow the impossible footsteps of the one who precedes me / How can one man fill the shoes of a legacy known to all? / I will take it upon myself / These shoes are mine to fill / I now possess the crown of crowns / I have claimed the sacred throne / I have become a god / And what kind of deity should I be? / Humanity’s enemy? / I have become a god, but at what a cost? / I have become a god, unholy black sun / I can’t believe my eyes as the rain fall from the sky / What have I done? / What kind of monster have I become? / What’s done is done / At the time what seemed like fate was actually personal gain / More than a monster / I feel it leaving / Bicameral grieving / Humanity slipping / My genius ascending / My sanity spiraling / This body dissolving, distorted, evolving / More than a monster / So far from heaven / So fucking far from heaven / What’s done is done
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
