lyrics

Awakened.
My eyes have been sealed in the dust of an old tomb
With no recollection of how I ended here
Still I recognize the smiling shadows that welcome me into this long
abandoned home
But they speak no tongue that I know
And only murmurs and whispers dance in the furthest corners of these
cavernous halls
And limping through the winding and bending corridors of this castle
The fixtures, the paintings, discarded tomes
All feel like they have had their place in my life
But time has torn them from me
Leaving a nebulous void between us
Finding myself before a massive crumbling staircase leading up to dormant
Mammoth doors.
They moan and grind against the pressure of my weight
Yhis weary centuries old beast gives way
My hands they land upon the supple ground around me
I find the air thick in the smells of the forest
The moonlight washes over the trees
And far off a spark of life through the foggy windows of a homestead
People merry, dance and sing
I cannot help but think this is the best moments of their lives
I cannot contain myself
Crawling my way through I wish to join
But happiness is fleeting
Shrieking erupts and faces turn sallow
And all who were merry suddenly like roaches scatter
All abandoned save one
Breathing was labored and the sound of fluids spewed with every gasp
A low rumbling building in the chest cavity
The earth stood still
And its eyes were laid upon me

Wack to think they somehow went up from here. Just... damn... its not gonna rip your face off, but its every bit as punchey and hard-hitting as the stuff coming straight out the minds of archspire. And man them solos. im a real goon when it comes to that stuff, can't dig them, but, its fucking gooey right here, tickling all my brain parts in the perfect way. MyNameIsRedundant

Yes! Beautiful tech dm. All instruments can be heard, great mix. A lot of good death metal suffers from bad & blurry mixes. Better with each listen. Creative song parts and song writing. Will definitely stay on personal power rotation. imprint
