lyrics

I can sense the weary heart
By its treads
The weight of wandering
Ceaseless it may seem
I know of a place
That you may rest your head
Below the boughs you may dream
Delirious hunger clouds the vision
Behold the bounties that this grove will bring

Follow me just a few more paces
Last surge of strength within
Now your heartbeat races
It cannot be true
This sight you see
Claw at your bloodshot eyes
Revealing the feast of a lowborn king
Wretched who wanders in exile
Below my boughs you dream
Wretched one plump in his excess
Fed full now wanting of nothing

Satiated mass
Trembling
Heave all you might
Thouroughly I am embedded within
Drink of my root
I delight in your suffering
Your actions no longer your own
Motioned as branches you dance and you swing
Dance
Swing
A final chance at life
Cursed into motion
Til death it may bring

Move
Sway
Dance
Swing
Wretched who wanders in exile
Below my boughs you dream
Wretched one plump in his excess
Cursed into motion
Til death it may bring
Til death
Til death
It may bring

Pluck out the eyes
Nothing to see
Place on the tongue
Imbibe with relief
Peel at the skin
Fleshlessly wreathed
The motions slow
Transformation is reached
No longer must you wander
From my roots you may drink

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
