I saw them fade limb by limb
In our well known imprisonment
Recovery was my naïve whim
We all waited for death to come
Like a bent liberation
And he came for us one by one
Extinguished a whole nation
One day they all were gone
Rotten and disfigured
Gone was the hope I rested upon
Nothing really matters anymore
This is not a life it is a curse
My heart is fighting the biggest war
The pain can’t get any worse
I don’t want to stay in a rotten dump
I am as lonely as anyone can be
My hope is featureless
Deliverance
What a relief
The rope killed all my grief
Rather dead than a zombie
Deliverance
I opened doors so many I couldn’t count
But no hope left, all there was; a disgusting reek
Superior my happy thoughts amount
No wonder my mind is starting,
starting to get weak
This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
