Prologue 04:28
My soul is bound for the seas and sands of gold Of a savage land to take what’s owed Im bound for glory, this I know From god to the true men its foretold A gathering storm approaches from the north Holdfast now, swim for the shore Overwhelming waves crash over me They show no mercy as they pick off the weak And they’re gone but not me Oh what hell has begun Stay in motion the abyss calls us home We’re going over, going under, below
2.
Corridor 04:08
Lost to the ocean Pulled to nowhere I can see Caring not where this leads Life and death the same Brave the fear and return to instinct Now that the choice is made The concrete set You're never going home Traded all once loved for complete regret and a quiet desperate life
3.
Denial 03:52
Woke to the warm of the rust Bleeding through the lids Woke to wonder Nobody somewhere or somebody nowhere No outstretched hands Just eyes from the top of the well
4.
Temporal 04:39
Claws in the neck, thorns in both feet Swing and flail and choke on the defeat They pushed you here Ocean waves force back to shore Horrid rain forced temporal tectonics to quake and shift Now, forever, drinks with acid Eats with sand, and sleeps with stone Warms with rain, and breathes with salted fumes Escape attempt from nature’s holding An exchange from home to cave With two shattered fists This cave now home Rains force temporal tectonics to quake
5.
Autumn 05:07
I know what darkness brings False hope and hollow dreams When what I truly need Some reprieve from this constant motion Endless sounds recede bandwidth now Body thins Colours leave Flesh stops clinging Cold for months Getting thin The endless cues to punch through this cavernous sky To feel sunlight Slow poison sinking in Hard to find my way out again Paid the price for my wants Followed my heart and it lead me to ruin Prayed for fire and I prayed for rain Prayed for a death that never came, and now im lost The suffering will end soon Severed veins will push through caverned skies To breathe sunlight
6.
Acceptance 08:40
Home is what you run from Giving in isn’t giving up Determined now to fight Even after all was lost The tides roll neither in, or roll out at night A perfect moment of calm even with the coming storm I will try to come when I am called My only offering Final chance to get things right I am reborn Transformed in the light Rush out to embrace a saviour Waist deep, answered praise with arrows Vitals drain and sting as salts cauterize Breaths stop with one last gasp of sunlight Joy as blood flows into this no longer caverned sky Peace and silence now

about

A short, progressive concept album that tells the story of one who, lacking purpose and direction, reacts to the suffering caused by the separation from the animalistic instinct that lives in us all. The naive method by which he tries to find his higher existence leads him to isolation. This album tracks the stages of his grief that follow in consequence.
