We lost our way, a twisted path
In this corridor of darkened dreams
We are reduced to nothing
The deepest void of our despair
We know there can be no escape
now we’ve come to understand
that our death is not serene
Chorus
But in the dark,
it was your voice that I heard
in that moment
you shaped what I became
We wake with screams, inside our minds
but they will just increase the silence
There is no victory here
We know we’re giving up
in darkness we will walk these paths alone
and now we’ve come to understand
that death is not serene
Bridge:
It’s a story we can never tell
a deepest dream of what we might have been
a pain that’s too intense to share
we abandon our path
for a darker way
(solo, mid bridge)
we give you power over us
because in the end we understand
that our death is not serene
and all we love,
we love alone
Chorus
It’s a story we can never tell
a deepest dream of what we might have been

we abandon our path
for a darker way
Chorus
we give you power over us
because in the end we understand
that our death is not serene
and all we love,
we love alone

We are awake
For the last time
Our hearts are weighed
And we're all found wanting
So as we rose
So as we fall
Justice is done
Our time is over
Here come the gods
To kill again
The final days
To live before the end
And when the gods
Create again
This wasted earth
Our consecrated ground
Drive to create
Defines us
Our hands are stained
With blood red earth
We emulate
Our creators
The mind designs
From an empty canvas
March of progress
New achievements
Standing on the shoulders of the gods
Towers higher
Reaching heavens
No escaping anger of the gods
Iteration
Incarnation
Calculated presage of decline
Starting over
Full erasure
One side rises as the other side falls
Here come the gods
To kill again
The final days
To live before the end
And when the gods
Create again
This wasted earth
Our consecrated ground
We are the gods
We recreate
Your final days
Begin with our intent
When we create
We overturn
This wasted earth
Your consecrated ground

Moonlight Fire
03:44

No matter how many times
I dance around the fire
No clarity fills me in
Between the cracks of dissonance
No matter how many nights
I spend in supplication
No power can hear the prayers
Amid the screams of ecstasy
This fire does not burn
These tears can't wash away my sins
Some wounds will never heal
Some pains can never be revenged
Too hot to burn
Too high to fall
So far to go
Can't see it all
This fire does not burn
This is the gating event
From which all choices wander
Am I to stay on the path
Or deviate beyond free will
This trite morality play
Exists to steal the senses
No deity fortifies
Beyond the bounds of innocence
This fire does not burn
These tears can't wash away my sins
Some wounds will never heal
Some pains can never be revenged
Cold fire never burns
Moonlight fire never burns
No matter how many times
I listen to the voices
I fail in perceiving the lies
Continuing on my helical way down
This fire does not burn
These tears can't wash away my sins
Some wounds will never heal
Some pains can never be revenged
Too cold to burn
Too low to fall
So near the end
Can't see at all
This fire does not burn
This fire does not burn

Shallow Grave
04:10
|

|
Might as well let me go
Run away, that's your purist instinct
Or stick around, take a chance
You never know where this night will lead you
Carried away
Straight to your shallow grave
Inside the dark
Your end is waiting
Led you astray
Until your dying day
This angel's face
Was your undoing
I can tell you're afraid
Fear is the line between pain and longing
Come with me, cross the line
On either side is the end of suffering
Carried away
Straight to your shallow grave
Inside the dark
Your end is waiting
Led you astray
Until your dying day
This angel's face
Was your undoing
No escape, it's too late
Might as well take my hand
Never hurts to be afraid
Might as well
Run away with me
Carried away
Straight to your shallow grave
Inside the dark
Your end is waiting
Led you astray
Until your dying day
This angel's face
Was your undoing

Forget Me
05:08
|

|
Once I knew who I was
I held onto my dreams
Into my darkness
Identity devoured
Running towards a carmine sky
the dawn will take me
away from all these crimson stains
and I will embrace it
Chorus:
Now I have nothing left
can you help me?
Alone I lost my way
Now that there’s nothing left
I can forgive myself
for being what you wanted me to be
A quiet breath
a silent sigh
A soul in torment
Am I forgiven in my suffering?
A bleeding stain
upon my skin
so beautifully weak
Will you love me for my weakness?
Chorus
Bridge:
Forget me
in this darkness
Forget all we were
I lose myself
in my despair
Forget me
In my own despair
I can begin again
Forget me
Chorus

The Revenant

Don’t look back
You lose yourself
And all that matters most
Don’t look out
from the mirror you’re reflected in
There’s no one there
Life drags on
and pulls you under
brutalizes you and breaks you
Life is pain
And it makes you brutal in return
but there’s no one left to save
Chorus:
]Have you seen me?
An existential question
with no answer
Here I am
Ravenous
for a life beyond my reach
Here I stand
hollowed out
all that’s left is desperation
Here I am
a black desolation
choking on my rage
Chorus
Bridge:
Don’t look back
Life is pain
Here I am
Ravenous
for a lie
I cannot have
Chorus

Tell me, what do you see
when you fall on your knees?
Who is the god you see in your mind?
A creature of light, and a whole host of angels
or someone who will hold your hand?
Who hears your words
when you cry in the night?
Just who will comfort your sorrow?
If no one has answered
I’d like to apply for the job
Chorus:
Trust
is a fragile thing
but I’ll bear all your sorrows for you
whisper my name
and share all your sins and desires
You can trust me
To whom do you pray
in the darkness of night?
Who hears the words you’re too frightened to speak?
Is there anyone there who can swallow your pain
or someone who can comfort you?
Reach out in the dark
Seek solace in my embrace
Love isn’t something that I understand
but I know just how to touch you
to make you forget
Bridge:
Confess to me your secrets
in strictest confidence
then close your eyes
let the wind of illusion
wash your mind clean
and trust me
Will you trust me?
Do you feel betrayed?
Are you all alone?
How much would you give for a friend?
What would you pay for the power
To wash your weakness away?
Is it worth the price of your soul?
Feel my breath on your neck
And the warmth of my hands on your skin
Drown in desire and
give me control over you
Come on, trust me
Chorus
Trust
is a fragile thing
but I’ll bear all your sorrows for you
whisper my name
and share all your sins and desires
You can trust me

Your Medusa
03:59

I hide inside
this labyrinth I have built
A maze of hopes and dreams
and failed expectations
And I am lost
You chase me through
the blackness I have thrown around you
Through the veil I hear
you call my name
And you know that you are lost
Chorus I
Welcome to my mind
to my tormented silence
Tell me, did you find
all that you were looking for
You’ve seen inside me
Now you know the monster that I am
Have you turned to stone?
I hide inside
A maze of lies I have constructed
the horror of the truth,
A failed expectation
And now you see
I’ll chase you through
the light you’ve shined on my dark deeds
and in the end I hear
you scream my name
And you are lost forever
Bridge
Are you
Lost inside?
Can you
Save yourself?
Chorus II
Welcome to my lair
to my tormented silence
Tell me did you find
all that you were looking for?
You’ve seen the truth
Now you know the monster that I am
Have you turned to stone?

United Against

I see reflections of scars in your eyes
From battles that we never win
Hopelessness fades as our hands intertwine
Still drawn to the comfort within
Ashes of bridges turn cold at our feet
Yet we never threw down the flam
Turning our backs on the sickness behind
We lift our faces to the rain
We are united against
The poisonous ones
We stand together until
The end comes
Devotion fades as we knew that it would
the pain it brings just fades away
cold cannot touch the embers within
the fire we share is undimmned
We walk our own path, untrodden before
there is nothing in life that we fear
Standing beside you unbeaten, unbowed
I'm stronger than I was alone
We are united against
the posionous ones
we stand together until
the end comes
We are united against
the shadows of life
we're bound together until
our end comes
Just take my hand
I don't want to be alone tonight
I feel weak and so betrayed by life
but if I could stand beside you
I am unbeaten
unbowed
I am unbroken

Red Shift
05:22
|
|||
|
A freak convergence
Parallel lines connecting in the distance
We pulled each other into orbit
But we grew so close we burned
We turn away
And gravity wanes
Soul light decays
Even the red shift fades
Imagined betrayal
Lives intertwined, fraying at the edges
We wove each other into strangers
Then estranged was all we were
We turn away
And gravity wanes
Soul light decays
Even the red shift
Our union
Cold fusion
Bleeds red as we walk away
We turn away
And gravity wanes
Soul light decays
Even the red shift fades

I'm afraid to write these words
but the truth is undeniable
Tomorrow isn't promised to us
All the revolutionary men have gone
I'm afraid to face my fear
I have seen my mortality
If your light won't burn forever
then what hope have we?
We set out to change the universe
but we only changed ourselves
Now our life is only image
pictures from afar
a light lost in the dark
We are satellite reflections
burning brightly
We are pretending to be heroes
but heroes fly on raven's wings
And leave us choking on the dark
It seems so strange
how beautiful the sorrow
of a distant goodbye
But we, we are here
And while the brightest radiance
can burn the dark
the light we shine
only makes the shadows longer
Our dreams are wrong, but we grow strong
the fire we burn refines us
it defines the light we shine
Don't believe that misery is manifold
the meaning of all is in between
and we hold it in our hands
But if skeletons sing inside our dreams
we will never feel the sun
It seems so strange
how beautiful the sorrow
of a distant goodbye
But we are here
and while the brightest radiance
can burn the dark
the light we shine
only makes the shadows longer
If I build my funeral pyre (funeral pyre)
And burn my dreams upon it
Can I reach you? (I can’t reach you)
If I sacrifice myself to flame (sacrifice)
would it means something to you? (I mean nothing to you)
I cannot hope to be your hero
My death comes on raven's wings
Fading in obscurity
It seems so strange
how beautiful the sorrow
of a distant goodbye

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt
