lyrics

I dream
Of flowing red
Beneath me
I see
The glow of beyond
It calls me

I seek a shallow pit
Fit for the opportunist in me
Stalking scheming
Select blades
With which I write
Down crimson limbs
Barely even sleeping any longer
Night after night
Creeping sneaking
Destitute and somber

Awaken drenched
Horrid stench
Haven’t washed my shirt
Still covered wet
Tears red and sweat

Remind myself
Between the whispers
And the visions
Bring glory to the idol
I may understand true wisdom

Red flowing
To the waterfall
Of eternity
Spilling forth
Life within your limbs
May it carry away
Cleanse you of your sins
Red flowing
To the waterfall
May it carry away
Cleanse you of your sins

I dream
When I awake
Compulsive urges
Haunt me endlessly
They taunt me
Make my visions fruition
Til I collapse again

Covered
In red
Til I collapse again
Covered
In red
Til I collapse again
I am ready to receive
My eternal awakening

Crimson
I seek a shallow pit fit for the opportunist in me
Blade
Stalking scheming select blades
With which I write down crimson limbs
Down
Barely even sleeping any longer
Limb
Night after night creeping sneaking
Destitute and somber

As I collapse again
I am carried by the warm red
Flowing beneath me

Though my eyes close
They eternally open
Free to ponder the eons
For bringing glory to the

Idol
My idol
Hunting and stalking the streets
Now flow red for my
Idol
My idol
Carried eternally now
I’m submerged in the
Red
Everything forever
Red
As I collapse again I’m
Red
Beneath me always flowing
Red
The words they always whisper

Down
Down
It drips it pours it flows
Down down
Flowing red
Down
Down
It drips it pours it flows
Down down
Flowing red

Flowing red beneath me
Flowing red beneath me
Flowing red beneath me
Flowing red beneath me

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
