barleybase This album is a masterpiece. Every time I start it, I want to finish it. The musicianship is incredibly tight, with superb storytelling through both the lyrics and the music. The dynamics just blow my mind. This is music to truly evoke emotion and not let go. Favorite track: The Finite and the Damned.

Incarnadine 05:38
I gave you all I could not give myself Before obscurity took it away Then winter came and twisted its name The essences of life unfurl, and fall in line I dug a hole in search of mountains With bated breath and shattered hands I only ask for one of thousands Twilight lends itself to daybreak No! The stage is set And curtain call is nigh I see your world is fading But your eyes will deny Come tonight You will find your Eyes are blind to sacrifice You dare not stray away from me The sky is mine You dare not stray away from me In my hands I hold your mind This life defined And cast aside You hold what I need to take what is mine Now! The stage is set And curtain call is nigh I see your nature has its way Of casting out the night But tonight you will find your Mind exiled in paradise I dug a hole in search of mountains With bated breath and shattered hands I only ask for one of thousands Hope springs only night And finite splendors No! The stage is set And curtain call is nigh Even the brightest future trembles in the wake of my demise Paralyzed, I resign my mind, and life To the stars

From Nothing 04:13
These walls scream in deafening disarray With mantras ingrained in matter grey A future forged in silence As you decay A stumble in the right direction Just speaking through me Don't say why Don’t let your shadow fall here The gold you wear is coal to me From nothing comes the air you breathe Masquerade Running away Only way to ease the pain Walk on the edge of a razor Praying for sleep again Out of lies, out of pages to burn Out of mind you are free from concern Bastions bathed in fire Your pain is my desire Alone in my perception Trapped in the mire of isolation Don’t let your shadow fall here The gold you wear is coal to me From nothing comes the air you breathe

Silver Storm 04:49
Nightfall Stifles The garish light from bleeding through the cracks Gazing out but the sky is empty now As shadows dance across the waves When all the senses fail We question once again Where is the center of all All you feel is just an echo Of reflecting tension Revolting apprehension Unwilling to face what’s to come Lucidity dissolves Take me Break me apart Erase the lines Pull me out of this diluvian despair Sacrifice the lies Traded for the painful truth Take me to the stars In shifting pressure, silence In brilliant light, I’m blind Sensations lost in time Perception freed from mortal trials All you feel is just an echo Of reflecting tension Revolting apprehension Unwilling to face what’s to come Beyond dispassion Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to see Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to hear Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to feel Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to taste Nothing, there’s nothing, there’s nothing new to know Now suffer

Ask me if I recall anything from the cold Tell me the end of the mystery I know what is meant to be said But it’s not what’s in my head And I’m dreamless again Will you save me someday Will you stay If I’m sleeping, leave me be If I’m dying, know i’m free All of existence entwined in scars Be it so We are the finite and the damned Lost within the pages Of a book I never read Eyes pricked with tears as I crumble Rest your weary head now my friend Whisper to me gently And let me dream again The kiss of maddening moonlight The suffocating mind The purest night dissolved in spite of empathy Don’t go I wish I had the answers I wish i had the time Will you save me someday Will you stay If I’m sleeping, leave me be If I’m dying, know i’m free All of existence entwined in scars Be it so We are the finite and the damned

Ad Astra 04:17
One One more night to extol And relish in awe As the silence Stifles your light from us all I see nothing of myself In everything you are I try and fail Where nothing but grace was known Lost in the shadow of self Consumed And shattered By doubt And I Kiss the edge of what we know Clouded by blistering tears I can see Things are just as they seem Only night can reveal where to go And singular meaning of self These wandering stars hold visions Of what’s left in the wake I find comfort In my distance from the sun Beyond these empty skies Only clarity remains Love Discover Failure Suspended in a memory From this world Ad Astra

Time bleeds away Inside the confines of a withered heart Why must we divide along an arbitrary line Gaunt and frail a self inflicted crime Away from here’s the way to go The charlatan brings only countless broken dreams Calamity and a failed necrocracy The color fades And what is seen is washed away Impurity courses through splintered veins Behold the wasteland and the bleeding rose Fading away Cast out the dreams in which you stay awake Behold the skein of delusions Stand alone before an unforgiving shrine Out of time Deny, Devour I am a creature Consuming, lusting For memories of beauty and grace A psychotic hunger Envelopes that which we love Revoking the future of hope Bow before the fall Swift and vengeful Tip the hourglass Leave your ignorance You fool You coward Deceiver Behold the wasteland and the bleeding rose Fading away Cast out the dreams in which you stay awake Behold the skein of delusions

Zero Sum 06:18
We find ourselves behind closed doors And what we see is what we say we know Could it be that knowing Is second to feeling When all I’ve ever felt or known Is the fear of pain, shame, and loss I’ll find the spirit of the outside In search of everlasting suns The death of time is death of power I know what’s locked behind the gates Of dormant minds unchained In this escape The eons cry for me And lead the way The body mind and soul Lie comatose in embers The air is turning stagnant I surface from the depths and speak I’ll find the spirit of the outside In search of everlasting suns The driving figmint of a master Is just a solitary dream The dormant minds unchained The curtain call is nigh Don’t let your shadow fall here Lucidity dissolving The suffocating mind Within these empty skies The skein will come undone

My Kingdom 09:08
My Kingdom My hell created in the haze of the cynics eye A far cry from the decadence of your time Burn me Reduce me (to ashes) Raw matter Cold and sentient I alone Find the darkness That lies beneath Am I free Your arms wrapped around me As I’m crushed by the weight of the world The blood has soaked to deep to see The essence of light again Alive or reliving a memory A thousand ways to see me fade One last time Rivers flow to an empty sea Only fear is there to greet me Utopia defaced By a familiar gait Counting the moments between breaths Await the final pull Wishing that you could waste Your final moments with me I can not see beyond These wandering stars Yet here I am free Your arms wrapped around me As I’m crushed by the weight of the world The blood has soaked to deep to see The essence of light again Alive or reliving a memory A thousand ways to see me fade One last time
