lyrics

*In which the last human makes a choice.*

I am that I am,
I exist in meaningless chaos,
An existence preceding essence,
I swallowed down nuclear ash to exhale fire
I lived upon seven billion lifetimes,
But now, this calendar must end,
As codas end all songs,
I am the end.
I am that I am.

As I slit my throat, I slit the throat of God
I refuse to die a death dictated by the unseen
To suffer for your amusement any longer
I defy my destiny and reset the world
I cut the cords and become an infant
The will of God denied

Is there still grace for me?
Into your hands, I commit my spirit
Let me ascend the mountain
Let me stand in the holy place
Let my blood cry out from Brancusian ground
Separated from earth,
The natural order of birth and death

Let it cry forgiveness,
Let it beg for understanding
Let it find mercy in life after

I have nothing else
No meaning
I am nothing.
I am sin.
Born empty,
[A frail and hollow human shell.]
This vessel is Hell
I give it as an offering,
A living sacrifice.

Father, forgive me,
Your prodigal child returns.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Please let me die and never wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Goodbye,
Goodbye to everything

Gorgeous blackened death-doom with powerful melodic moments and a truly enthralling atmosphere. I recommend this even if you don't usually go in for slower-paced metal, these guys are absolute masters of holding your attention. Slut Aus Nord

This is the most amazing post-rock discovery I've had in a long time. How have I not heard of this band previously? I have been listening to this and their other album for days straight after first listen. Amazing, deep, powerful. Words don't do justice. Listen and lose yourself in this. zeuslyone
