Above the waters closed and trapped me within my sanctuary / An unexpected, restless void / An unknown destination / For no angels have sang their songs / No regal trumpet has sounded its call / Temptations flames hasn’t left its singe / For darkness surrounds me / Resaturate the color within this life once lost / No longer will I waste my breathe on this charade / Conscious, not reincarnate / Enlightened only of my mistake / No, my final chapter is a blank page / Return, reclaim / For I have brought myself here with such a bitter tasting leap / Through my own volition / No matter the climb / I will overcome death / But what could I say / Every single word will turn to ash and fade away / What could I say? / Will I stand there and watch my life end this way? / I’ll hoist the anchor and be the life in these tattered sails / Ascending from this darkness / Passing through the veil / So now the ocean has given up its dead, if only for a moment / And I return to myself / Calling / “Well if this world would keep its silence / And the tide below has beckoned me forward / Then I will never escape this instance” / But what could I say?
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
