Jarak Stumbled across this when I was looking for Ancient's album Svartalvheim - the fact the band is from my home town caught my eye, but the fact that this is REALLY good made me buy it (it's actually way better than Ancient's album, which is pretty good). I sincerely hope this band releases another album, hopefully sooner rather than later. Favorite track: Quantum Singularity.

Tyranny, foul disease, of those blind Abuse, of the free, with words of fire, Ignorance, the law, of dogmatic fate, Morality, ceases, it's relevance, Suffering, under a, repressive pragmatism, Infallible, chiseled into permanence, Weeding, the dissidents, from the conformed, Nothing is free, everything is true Reject, Illusion, uttered by, ignorant men, Come, as the wind, Cold logic, Summoning, from beneath, the present stillness, Return, and breathe, from your knees, Inspire, once blind, to wield reason, Suffering, has met, a swift demise, Suffering, under a, repressive pragmatism, Infallible, chiseled into permanence, Weeding, the dissidents, from the conformed, Nothing is free, everything is true Reject, illusion, uttered by, ignorant men, Come, as the wind, Cold Logic, Piercing aeons, convoluted, organized nihilism, Inner peace, Submit, Ascend, Destroy, False morals, Breath light, Speak truth, Break down, Inner walls, Tear out icons, Entombed, In the hearts, Weep freedom on your feet.

Continually expanding, A false state established since aeons past, But all that is shall eventually, shrink to singularity, All light shall perish, so shall all life, Age long expansion has led to entropy, A state of chaos Density has reached the state past critical, All shall collapse, only to be birthed anew in the presence of the hidden matter, Accelerating, not decreasing, There is little time left, to comprehend Quickly the forces draw us in, False state has collapsed in the presence of light, Light from the next phase of life, to begin, I see the truth surrounding, in halo's of dark energy, It shall fall, upon me Matter is collapsing, dying to begin, Atmosphere is fading, none for me to breathe, Singularity has swallowed me, this is the final thought, I wish my soul to be set free

Statuesque, Long forgotten, crumbling exiled to shade, Currently, illusory, association betrayed, Illogical to suffer, no blood shed necessary, severed is within, never mind without, Timeless not an affliction, only stillness in here, topple lofty pillars, Time not to feel, time cannot heal, desecrated through struggle, Defiled, once beautiful There is not light, a futile false plight, decrepit symphony, appalling progeny, Smothered internal, aversion eternal, arrogant putridity, hallowed mockery, Fall to your knees, Make your pleas, Devour all fears, Restrain your tears (x2) Feel, as if abandoned, in the throes of torment, A swirling hateful laughter, has pursued your forever, Devouring sanctity, Never a moment of solace, as this crumbles around you, Trampling foundations, desecrate the inner sanctum, fold the sorrows of space and time, Decrepit symphony, appalling progeny, hallowed mockery Fall to your knees, Make your pleas, Devour all fears, Restrain your tears (x2)

Souls of flame, descending upon, Fields as nephilim, great ancestral bloodline, Diluted throughout ages, possessed not of old heart, This modern, hollow being Falling into swift demise, deconstructing the roots, To satisfy arrangement, This is fate, for those to die, As the world rejects the sacred ones, Fall, as they are bleeding, and they crawl From a desecrated carcass so hollow From the peak we are descending, as we're exiled in wide dispersion, Each facet of the same, has been given name, To follow in each region, where we cower, Silence, dashes from inside, Shuddering, the peace defied, As it slowly comes to pass, This violence is it to last, For the remainder of days, And what of nights, This has become, the darkness

A grave of stars, engulfing horizon, Abyssal in exiled, reality, Awash with a pious grief, in solitude, All comes caving into me, Fade, into the sea, Voices surround me, As, they are awaiting, I, gave up weakness, and cast myself into the deep, A flood of lights rush past, the essence seeping out, All histories rush through my blood, and outcomes yet to play out, All identities, ceasing to be Noting, the lack of apathy, An absence not unpleasant, a solace not lost on me, Flowing onwards, Into cosmic sorrows, I, gave up weakness, and cast myself into the deep, A flood of lights rush past, the essence seeping out, All histories, rush through my blood, and outcomes yet to play out, All identities, ceasing to be, Voices surround me, As, they are awaiting, I, had sought the answer, Of, the death rattling, Utter, the final breath, And fade into the sea

At one with the dead Crying, screaming Live with a severed head Walking, breathing Onto the baggage train Don’t think, obey Nothing to stand in its way Rolling, onwards For at the end of days Bend on thy knees and pray For the machine god made Slaves of the godly race Fall on they knees, proclaim Thou art diseased, in shame Humanity, cry thy name Vovia nex Human mind, opened wide The time has come today To wash thou clean of earthly sins Dead matter, and decay For every breath spent in vain A dream becomes deceased Utopia spins for aeons hence Further away, it seems For at the end of days Bend on thy knees and pray For the machine god made Slaves of the godly race Fall on they knees, proclaim Thou art diseased, in shame Humanity, cry thy name Vovia nex Release me Save me Embrace Agony It’s all the same, it’s all a game A morbid funeral procession Recall they name, digits and rows Do you know who you are anymore? Do you see under the broken skin? Do you see the cogs that spin? Then reap the harvest of flesh and blood Lay your broken body upon the altar of madness Release me Save me Embrace Agony

Reaching for, a gratification, Shed through for solution, Inject and plead, for confirmation of paranoia, Reading through lines, for false pretence, Have you not realized, you haven't yet broken the surface, Annunciating discord, With an err and stutter, Disseminating falseness, With a cruel agenda, Praying on a blind hope, For the sake of none, You cannot prevail (x2) Holding back, the progress of the self, By diluting with absurdity, Not gating with skepticism, is the route to obscenities, Falling down on these ridiculous notions Reaching for, a silent appreciation, of your gospel to your truth Whichever it may be, seems it cannot be reasonably seen You see, once we have broken this need, these deceits you shall no longer bleed You have held back, the progress of yourself But those that took a grain, did not look in vain Are leaving you behind, Not gating with with skepticism, is the route to obscenities, You have fallen on your ridiculous notions
