I’ll remember the sea beyond the coming fire / Sword in hand, surrounded / The wind has not blown, the rivers not flowed / The stars and moon have fled this place / Clouds look down in pity as we starve ourselves / But we have no lungs to breathe in this autopsy / It starts with me / My life for this city / Mark the line for the first incision / Negotiations will be quick - my own life for this damned city / They carry the crescent and blot out the sun / Now marching before us / Breathe fear on everyone / The earth is torn open / The oceans recede / This horror before us / We bleed the machine / I’ll remember the sea beyond the coming fire / As the ashes of yesterday fade away, I remain / The approaching fire no longer seen on the horizon / This flame is not purifying / Can’t escape the slow death you are dying / These walls will fall / These gates will fail / And hell will come, assimilate us all / Though they raise up these towers of bone and blood, we must fight on / Don’t turn your back, don’t hide your face / Die with honor in your hearts
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
