lyrics

Every second
Of the decapitation
Fibers fleeing
Can I take the first step?

Every beginning
Regeneration
Endless seeming love hate
Can I take the first step?

Weighed down by chains
A goal set straight
Taunting fears and gaining vigor
Unable to cross, bound to achieve

Dragged down by chains
A goal once known
Anguished fears and long lost vigor
Hope seems lost, destined to fail

Floating mind, but Solid ground
Salt taste fades like Long Held Dreams
Eyes meet still, their wills shout
Out the cave into the open

Barren landscapes, a flooded gorge
Devouring bodies, a reptile’s kiss
A change of guards, a rising sun
As hope is buried, I must pull through

Feet in motion and doubts outside of vision
some sleep, some call from the corner of my eye
Through necks and throats I'm pressing forward
Their grips are loosening, their fingers in cold sweat

My body, it resonates
Towards beginning, towards the end

Every second, every beginning
Of the decapitation, regenaration
Fibers fleeing, endless seeming love hate
Can I take the first step?
Can I take the first step?

Every second, every beginning
Of the decapitation, regenaration
Fibers fleeing, endless seeming love hate
Can I take the first step?
Can I take the first step?

Shapes drift apart
While they collapse.
Don't fade, don't rise.
Just scraps of my own
Body
Remain
To emerge again.
Perception (and)
Sensations
Resonate,
They oscillate

Break free
Isolate
Precept
Emerge
Oscillate

Brilliant album, one of my favourite albums of 2018. Stuart Prickett

Mire

This one really goes deep. Tremendously heavy and bleak, yet crushingly groovy as well. You can easily see these guys destroying any venue they'd hit live with this. The heavy hitting slow to mid-tempo tunes are sort of tranceinducing. It's very easy to listen to it multiple times in a row or even get lost in it totally. mourner
