lyrics

Is it the time that makes you surrender?
Or those moments of life that you just can’t remember?
This will break down

And you will acknowledge the beauty of everything that you can’t do without
To witness the end of the earth

Begin to uncover the broken past that burdens you, OH!!!
Always clinging to the roots of empty space
Strung together and entwined while all these

Thoughts surround you
Always clinging to the roots of empty space
(Is there anything to tame this growing mass)
Time before you
Strung together and entwined like a woven web

I want to feel as though every moment is a fascination
Opened up the world and the growing space within my crowded mind

I can’t help it If this goes unnoticed
If this goes unnoticed, will you take the time
Take the time to just see that

When I was a young man, so full of life, so full of dreams
I wouldn’t accept this fate laid out before me

Thoughts surround you
Always clinging to the roots of empty space

So please just take me back, take me back, take me back
To a place where time eludes me

To a place where time eludes me

Legit the only thing wrong with this album is that it is far too short. I would love an album like this that's twice as long! Oh well, maybe I'll just listen to it twice haha (also just editing this for my vinyl friends, it doesn't say anywhere on the record, but this one plays at 45 rpm. Had a bit of a spook when it sounded a lot slower than I remembered lol) danielkrause

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

Finally a well-mixed melodeath band where I don't have to pretend the lyrics don't exist. I am obsessed. sovgoth
