I'm trapped within this maze,
Alone I am trying to find my way,
I'm dying in this place,
I can feel me dissolving and going astray.
I walk through thorns, the darkest road,
I see my fears along the way,
The pictures of my past, my strongly marked sins,
This is the place where the journey begins.
My hands are empty, but heart is full,
My mind is in the hell, but eyes can see the truth,
The path that I have chosen, I'll never turn away from,
I walk through thorns, to find my own home.
These fields are poisonous, they're filled with scorn,
And even death is here to mourn,
Eyes turn bloody red, and bones become so frail,
I have to go across, to find my Holy Grail.
My hands are empty, but heart is full,
My mind is in the hell, but eyes can see the truth,
The path that I have chosen, I'll never turn away from,
I walk through thorns, to find my home.
Through thorns I walk, with cuts I'm covered,
Deep wounds are filled with viscid blood.
There's battle going on inside my head,
I'm stuck within engulfing mud.
«I tried to remain sane,
but the world around me kept crushing
my will, it kept pressuring me.
But I won’t give up so easily,
You will have to end me,
You will have to kill me.»
Cut my throat, release my soul,
Take my hand and burn my skin,
Life is just an empty bowl,
Cut my wrists, release my sin.
„Только отрекаясь от того, что погибнет и должно погибнуть,
от нашей животной личности, мы получаем нашу истинную жизнь,
которая не погибает и не может погибнуть.“
Лев Толстой.
"Созерцая ослепление и убожество человека перед лицом молчащей вселенной,
человека, лишенного света, предоставленного самому себе,
покинутого в этом уголке вселенной, не знающего, кто его сюда послал,
зачем он тут находится или что будет с ним, когда он умрет, не способного ничего понять,
- я начинаю содрогаться от страха."
Блез Паскаль.

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
