lyrics
Hope is a figure in the wall
Nothing but the pale shadow of our existence
The constant deceit that makes us fall
erring through pain along the distance.
To ease the anguish of our days
We live our lives as if it had a meaning
trying to avoid the painful embrace
we hide through masks to show no feelings
Digging trenches where we stand still
Waiting for a sparkle of joy to come
But I can feel nothing
As I watch my dreams come undone
But I can feel nothing
As I watch my dreams come undone
Hope is a figure in the wall
Nothing but the pale shadow of our existence
The constant deceit that makes us fall
erring through pain along the distance.
To ease the anguish of our days
We live our lives as if it had a meaning
trying to avoid the painful embrace
we hide through masks to show no feelings
Digging trenches where we stand still
Waiting for a sparkle of joy to come
I am buried where light cannot reach
And where hope is but a memory
In despair we scream
Begging for a word of hope
As if we would hear a response
The silence is deafening
Falling deeper into the void
dragged by its hollow core
The will to live fades away
and my dreams end their days
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
