The Absence
Album • 2021
Future terminal Euthanize the craven instinct Miseries of the living codex A mind in total reveal No short of applause less flesh Mentally dismembered a million severed fates I feel their lamentatoins calling me Consummate the burning steel As deep as it can reach Glowing red from the grinding wheel Blades that wail and weep Mentally dismembered a million severed fates I feel their lamentations through the cracks They call my name Bask in depth of fading time incurable Stay until death, alive in a future terminal Bask in depth of fading time incurable Stay until death, alive in a future terminal Mentally dismembered Now bleeds the ever-crimson wound Born in a deep red reach We see what pains us In exodus will soon retreat Eulogize our own logic Cemetary composure Bring to us the torches of time Let them burn Mentally dismembered Bask in depth of fading time incurable Stay until death, alive in a future terminal Bask in depth of fading time incurable Stay until death, alive in a future terminal Bask in depth of fading time incurable Stay until death, alive in a future terminal

Our endurance spins in synthesis while focal eyes come to gaze A guided transmission in chrysalis, focalize and initiate Subterranean when they fall Buried moments better left forgotten Dearly departed I wish you well Crawling into bondage Subcutaneous when they speak Summoned souls of a frozen death Dearly beloved I beckon thee Away from a desolate end Radiant devastation, witness the veil dissolve A golden revelation behind the Midas dawn Signs fall from a failing blur Broken prisms of mental decay These remnants of ridden resistances They corrode and ruinate Subterranean where they fall Buried moments better left forgotten Dearly departed I wish you well Crawling away Subcutaneous when they speak Summoned souls of a frozen death Dearly beloved I beckon thee Away from a desolate ending Radiant devastation, witness the veil dissolve A golden revelation behold the Midas dawn Dilate the minds of they who negate Unleash the borders until they break As they glaze over, let them gaze upon With their unsighted eyes sewn open Subterranean where they fall Buried moments better left forgotten Dearly departed I wish you well Into the bleak of a desolate end Radiant devastation, witness the veil dissolve A golden revelation behold the Midas dawn

Sunken back behind sleepless eyes sits an altar of dust A leveling truth at war with rest waking still in self disgust Beyond pillars that blot the sun in the deep end of time My body awaits the toll where sleep goes to die When life becomes droning and out of body within my own words I am lost In a maze of sirens the reeking crime Waged against a quaking heart I lose this war every night My own skin an explosion, clarity unbeknownst Life becomes droning and out of body within my own words I am lost I long at the gates of slumber It seems for years on end Watching the rust it embers Never to enter in Never to enter in Within these dripping seconds Each one crawls across my flesh Wandering a wasteland I meet no end I feel the sun come roaring, ascending skies that weep I hear the bells of morning from ny nonexistent sleep Sunken back behind sleepless eyes Sits an altar of dust A leveling truth at war with rest Waking still in self disgust My own skin an explosion, clarity unbeknownst Life becomes droning and out of body I am lost I am lost I long at the gates of slumber It seems for years on end Watching the rust it embers Never I long at the gates of slumber It seems for years on end Watching the rust it embers Never to enter I feel the sun come roaring I hear the bells of morning I feel the sun come roaring I hear the bells of morning

Frozen shades stain the view The glacial age absolute There is a chill in the world below Tunnels orbed in silent cold Rotting caverns crystallized The dying world we call home Can you see the soaring effigies The signs of graven life The blight of breath a dance with death They ring around the reaper's scyche No euphoria Motionless in frozen light Oh discordia Here you are, still by my side This cursed pit of the insane solemn in its souless bane Within its hollow voice it serenades Can you hear the moaning progeny The children of graven life The blight of breath a dance with death The gleaming winter moon drips from the reaper's scythe No utopia Mortuary multiplies Oh discordia Live for death, pray for life Can you see the roaring effigies The signs of graven life The blight of breath, a dance with death Ring around the reaper's scythe No euphoria Motionless in frozen light Oh discordia Here you are No utopia Mortuary multiplies Oh discordia Live for death, pray for life Such sorrow it will consume Frozen shades stain the view Chasm monolith The glacial age absolute

What treachery harbors this tale Shoring doubts that pulse within Drawn into a nightmare A penitent being undone When wrath stalks the landscape What remains? The emptiness that we expel If anything When wrath stalks the landscape What remains? The emptiness that we expel Evocation of endless suffering Bestow your thoughts to this hideous Lost in a maze so pitiless Wandering in knots Treacherous Esteanged in desparation When misery makes its home I am returning now These lifeless ghosts must go When wrath stalks the landscape What remains? The emptiness that we expel If anything When wrath stalks the landscape What remains? The emptiness that we expel Evocation of endless suffering Bestow your thoughts to the hideous Lost in a maze so pitiless Wandering in knots Treacherous Treacherous Treacherous Treacherous Treacherous, go Bestow your thoughts to the hideous Lost in a maze so pitiless Wandering in knots Bestow your thoughts to the hideous Lost in a maze so pitiless Wandering in knots Treacherous Bestow your thoughts to the hideous Lost in a maze so pitiless Wandering in knots Treacherous

As the sun grows drowsy, twilight descends upon my being I imbibe these shadows that once danced beyond my reach This consuming nocturne swallowed by the fall Turn your eyes from the sky The place wrere your poison lives With open arms welcome in the dark Closer than one's one skin This consuming nocturne summoned by the fall This consuming nocturne swallowed by the fall This consuming nocturne focused in my soul My final form unfurling swallowed by the fall Become nocturnal Drawn under the brilliance the soothing midnight glow Majestic call of silence from the weeping night strung moon No control over sleeping suns nor the deep end of darkness in wait So the soothing shades that reach out cradle me As the sun grows drowsy, twilight descends upon my being I imbibe these shadows that danced beyond my reach This consuming nocturne swallowed by the fall This consuming nocturne summoned by the call This consuming nocturne swallowed by the fall This consuming nocturne focused in my soul My final form unfurling swallowed by the fall This consuming nocturne swallowed by the fall This consuming nocturne swallowed by the fall

Lives of passing moments decomposed in the flesh Vivid exhumation, aperture... To what fathoms do your demons dwell? Lost in deprivation Diving into your own imbibing divination Lives of passing moments decomposed in the flesh Vivid exhumation, aperture expands Aperture expands With hurling hands toward the heavens, heroic hearts demise Lost in the hum of disposition balance simply dies Can you let your spark climb or will it flicker no vacancy Into your wasted years under concrete uncertainty Lives of passing moments decomposed in the flesh Vivid exhumation through an aperture... In this lightless mourning frozen in a flash Instant illumination as the aperture expands Lives of passing moments decomposed in the flesh Vivid exhumation through an aperture Lives of passing moments decomposed in the flesh Vivid exhumation when an aperture expands

Uncreation So evade the promenade, crawling out from the ceaseless vast Rid the ritual serenades, faith cast in bible black Now scorn the deafening roar, seeping out from the pulpit's praise Forsake the devoted lore handcrafted by their cross-fed shakes With no devotion No devotion No devotion Uncreation A lucent view comes crashing, gravitational and ironclad Become a descending hammer, visions ablaze beneath the sledge Below the body is a longing, bones crave the reaching dust No longer upon our heads, halos devoid of trust No devotion No Secrets beyond the flesh Cryptic iconoclast Divine deanimation My faith in uncreation Mouths weld to muzzles Hand and foot buried under nail Secrets beyond the flesh Cryptic iconoclast Divine deanimation My faith in uncreation
