lyrics
The screen of sanity yet collapses
When resounds the tune -
Her serenade chasing the mind,
Like a shadow of her departed being.
To guard these gaping flaws of my conscience
Clouded in distress of her loss,
I reflect on my hideous act
And behold her ruins in the cellar!
Where she lies still,
Draped in death I had inflicted!
When the rendering of her tune ceases,
Lost in the silence again…
Reflecting the morrow of our fates
Now despised forever, to appease whims
Of a mind bewildered.
As her existence I have shunned,
No more shall her belongingness thrive
To comfort my fears of bereavement.
Yet the germ of remembrance dwells
Like a leech on existence,
Shrouding my deprived being
In the murk of thoughts.
Lost in the grieving memories of our hopes,
Now forever chastised!
To escape the ends of fate
Beneath this masquerade to reconcile!
Embraced in the specter of thoughts,
The wake of this oblivion
Is an antithesis
To this powerless reality.
Empowering with the will of a delusional mind,
In this chastising masquerade I had adorned!
Denying to sail through those uncertain depths,
Holding on her lone bark of hope;
As time flows endlessly to reach its brink -
To this offing of fate,
Where our gradual ends await;
Beyond the horizon
Of this futile span of being!
In horrors of this unknown end,
To preserve the fleeting mind
From the lure of her momentary comfort,
I chose to evade the design of our destiny!
As the mind in oblivion lost its trail
Between reality and a reverie,
When beliefs spawned from a nihilist void
Behind the veils of this chastising masquerade...
Breached are the realms of sanity,
When the mask of this conjured belief
Searches for its face amongst forsaken perceptions.
This mask, an embodiment
For the darker shades of thought!
Aurora is lost!
And a muffled voice of conscience
Murmurs with regrets beneath its veil;
When remembrance,
Like the light from an eclipsed moon
Shines from the past,
To strew shadows of the self on this path of time.
Like a wayfarer on the journey of subsistence,
I watch these infinite passing penumbra of thoughts!
When visions from the further appall!
In horrors of this unknown end,
To preserve the fleeting mind
From the lure of her momentary comfort,
I chose to evade the design of our destiny.
As the ghosts of our dreams flutter in the distant,
With wings to transcend
These eternal clouds of despair.
In a sky fallen under the breath of life,
Where those clouds forever gloom
With the mourn of her loss.
When resounds the tune -
Her serenade chasing the mind,
Like a shadow of her departed being.
To guard these gaping flaws of my conscience
Clouded in distress of her loss,
I reflect on my hideous act
And behold her ruins in the cellar!
Where she lies still,
Draped in death I had inflicted!
When the rendering of her tune ceases,
Lost in the silence again…
Reflecting the morrow of our fates
Now despised forever, to appease whims
Of a mind bewildered.
As her existence I have shunned,
No more shall her belongingness thrive
To comfort my fears of bereavement.
Yet the germ of remembrance dwells
Like a leech on existence,
Shrouding my deprived being
In the murk of thoughts.
Lost in the grieving memories of our hopes,
Now forever chastised!
To escape the ends of fate
Beneath this masquerade to reconcile!
Embraced in the specter of thoughts,

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!
