lyrics

It began as a whisper
Then a song
A dreaded lamentation
Cacophony of all of my wrongs
The allure of the deep
The only respite I receive
The silence surrounds me
As I slip under the surface

Beginning to breathe
Choking as the silence surrounds me
Leadened I am slipping away
Carried beneath the waves

I ascend
What trick is at play
Pulled up to the surface the cacophony remains
Whos hand in stay of execution must I lay blame

I didn't ask for this
You see yourself a savior
I see my ended bliss
I want no resting place
No burial ground
Only to slip below and never be found

My memories are pain
No will to persist
Ashore again
Breath of life I must resist
I long
For the silence
Will you follow me down

Plunging to the depths below
Its icy cold is all I ever wish to know
Silence as I inhale the ocean
As the pressure builds my frame begins to fold

The pressures build
Eyes bulge under the weight that surrounds me
My lungs now filled
Gracious acceptance of what I could never be

I’ve no need for this earthly life
Renounced, resigned
All that's required is to end this strife
I have finally reached my closing divine

With a deep breath of the ocean
I heave a sigh of relief
The silence surrounds me
The allure of the deep

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
