lyrics

To witness you looming through, yet I see you spreading on this vast land of 'possibility'.
Over trees & piercing dreams.
The blooming flower now withers, together with our…

Progression! On culture, like a destructive blight.
I've danced this dance of anguish & wretchedness.
The mirage of finality. How fragile, is eternity?
Of knowing, that I'm alive. Of knowing, that I will die, is my curse alone.

“There was complete silence everywhere. I felt that all mankind had rejected me & I took refuge with inanimate things. I was conscious of a relationship between me & the pulsation of nature, between me & the profound night which had descended upon my spirit.
This silence is a language which we do not understand." – Sadegh Hedayat, The Blind Owl.

My addled vindication for life, it convened with you.
His false assertions of deception in a pipe dream.
When I speak out, the eradication of this symphony of silence.
Endless path of destruction. I wept to Hell, but Hell is a widow, we are the evil that resides in it.
No escape. Hell, is always alone.
Compassion, such an ugly word. Procreation... a sin.
Going beyond tears, that never had its reason.
So how do one answer what is wrong, when nothing's right?

I shall proceed with utter devastation in my soul,
with what's left of my spirit, to cleanse the 'human' of my blood.
Now... For years, I've deprived myself from absolute purity,
the paradox called free-will now come to fruition.
I've decided to fashioned after you, when all roads lead to no better,
with or without achievement & faith.
Just as it is all the same whether I cry or remain silent.

“Now, before I blow my brains out,
I should like to point out that... this is an experiment in nihilism.
Every word, every thought, & every emotion: Life is meaningless.” - Mitchell Heisman, Suicide Note.

You. Now I exist. Yes, in you Death. I exist.

This is their most black metal sounding album. Later albums started to sound like modern metal or with hints of djent influence. Great debut by the band. I love Dark Souls and black metal, so this is great! Sid
