lyrics
Take me now, lead me to The Lake
Show me it’s worth, it’s grandeur
Whisper no more, only righteous speak
You’ll hold no pull, choose not for me
Will this uncoil me?
There’s a mile between these horns,
And I’m on the wrong side of the chasm
My ears are filled with bent words
Side-eyes lead the blind
Twisting tongues go on and on and on...
(The Mothers)
So much to offer!
So warm in it’s hold!
Unite with the voices!
Let them sing!
Let them sing!
Let them sing!
Be one with the choir!
Abolish synapses, headfirst into blinding light
They welcome new voices, they sing out in praises
The wider we run, the deeper we become
Orchestrate! Bend your ear to me
(Pro)
Hold your tongues!
Bite your words!
You speak in circles
Your breath holds no sway
You deafen the deaf
(The Mothers)
Show me your hand, I’ll take it to the shore
(Pro)
Incandescent, the sight is dimmed by the shimmer
The surface can’t hold the echoes, freed to spatter
Feed me your strength, bring life to my lips
Your love is the key, help the fallen one see
A place beyond the sun, deliver him to me
To know what he’s meant for, a pillar of progress
(Alkahest)
The Drowned looking for salvation once more!
You’ve surely stepped into the hope you’re looking for
You know, you can catch the Devil all you want
But you can’t hold him for long
Youngbloodied like yourself don’t last out there with the Guild
But here, your scars and Torments may be spilled
In the Unity of The Lake, the needs of we outweigh the needs of you
Your future has been paid for in full!
(The Choir)
Videte te in Stagno
Corpus Abiecisse
De exitu Animae
argentum animum
(Alkahest)
Ahhh… a hand without teeth? So it seems
We don’t take too kindly to the anomalous around here
No matter, death always finds a way to dig deeper
Let’s open you wide, and see what we can’t fix
My! Split my heart asunder!
A Thinker worth its weight in gold is no use around here
One last push should get you on the narrow
Try diving one more time. Come on now, with feeling...
(The Choir)
Videte te in Stagno
Corpus Abiecisse
De exitu Animae
argentum animum
(Alkahest)
No more!
Rules are rules and followers follow
Stare into mirrors, see a better self
At arm's length my Sun won’t envelope
Feel the burden weigh on your shoulders
A lifetime of spiraling, what have you got to show for it?
Gravity has worked it’s miracles before
Open your eyes, breathe out one last time
Your mind at ease
The body will follow
Your body will cease
The mind will swallow
Feast glutton! Now you’ve seen it for yourself
Living your life in solitary miasma, created this shell
A grip held taut tears fear from reluctance
Succumb to The Choir, an empathetic retort will drag you down
(Pro)
Ripples at ease
Roiled by my hand
Once translucent
Gone turbid again
You lead me here
Promising splendor
Assembled hope
Dismantled grandeur
A turning tide’s eruption
Peels through the skin
The visage of distortion
Keels from within
Breathe alone
Hollowed, heavy air
Tearing
Burrowing
Fraying
Burgeoning
It resides in the lungs!
It resides in the lungs!
It resides in the lungs!
It resides in the lungs!
Fleet foot, breathe in, breathe out
That “thing” is close behind
(The Mothers)
Weary wanderer!
Find repose in mercurial
(Pro)
What lies ahead will lead to darkness
(The Mothers)
What lies beyond the Sun, a void worth calling to
Cull all of your loss
From your cliffs will flow Chaos
The Watch shield their eyes from your radiance
Remove their sight
Cull all of your loss
From your cliffs will flow Chaos
The Watch shield their eyes from your radiance
Remove their sight
(Pro)
Swim on
Back to
The Light
Return
Back to
The White
(The Mothers)
Breath is shortened
Tethered to our Pull
Voice is lessened
With a silent mouthful
Ties will strengthen
Keep you in our hold
Chest is Tightened
Left out in the Cold
(Pro)
Sink in the Well
Descend in the Lake (our way down)
Bent to the Chasm
A clawing I can’t seem to shake
Sink
Descend
Bend
Claw
Is this absolute?
A directionless hollow
The anguish unhindered
No map to follow
(Alkahest)
Forgotten, Abandoned
Dismantled, sunk in the homogeneous chaos
Amorphous, abyssal
It’s the root, grown too deep.
I’m ingrained
All is within my
Reach!
The air in your lungs, the sand holding your step
The world cannot be without
Me!
The Light that you lived for, The Empty you died for
Where all things end, I will remain
(Pro)
A true sight to behold, a rarity never seen
Prospect or risk, an evening of the world
A satellite realigned, a compass, North is undefined
Fleeing on fear on the back of unknowing
Evader, remember
Hold fast these musings, gather your slivers
Unearthed, shake off the rigor
Keep your mind inside your skull and breathe, exhale
Seeing in circles
I’m crawling again, the flame of the Sun sets
Fire to my eyes, with the heat of a thousand others
The Lake is everywhere, not a drop of water
It speaks to me, again, it rings in vain
Leviathan silver, heavy and weightless
Is this the path of eternal existence?
“Worry not.” it calls,
The voice speaks tenderly
A deluge in my mind, it’s gravity against mine
Unwelcome in the hollow
Follow the empty howl
Cycling through moments, they whisper in winds
Eroding, erasing, until I am nothing
Show me it’s worth, it’s grandeur
Whisper no more, only righteous speak
You’ll hold no pull, choose not for me
Will this uncoil me?
There’s a mile between these horns,
And I’m on the wrong side of the chasm
My ears are filled with bent words
Side-eyes lead the blind
Twisting tongues go on and on and on...

It is a brilliant debut release. The fans of Between The Buried And Me(BTBAM) or Native Construct would appreciate this effort. The ingenuity of melody-making and the smooth musical transitions in each track would exhilarate listeners by offering the joy of a pure proggy melange.

I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on. 10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come.
