about

First single off the new album.

lyrics

a landscape of ashen colours
a modern utopia of icy contempt
obsidian walls tower above the grey oceans
majestic creations of inhumane hands
desolation
the chemical sands rise up in rebellion
over the windswept wastelands of men.

i came to beg among the skeletons
here, under the scaffold of futile cultures
scavengers of life claw at the dark doorway
behind the piles of bones and junk.
a revelation,
a reverie,
last hopes fade away in a leper colony
in the sanctuary of towering fears .

i'll miss the motion, the seasons and leaves
here I came as a messenger
from beyond the cinereal lands
behold the twisted flowers of life
swerve the spiritual geometry
anthropomorphism
a curse of regression
in our likeness.

a vacant creator

a messenger from the beyond,
a brooding figure among the dying,
a shard of discarded humanity,
the endlessly fading reverie
in the shade of the massive walls
we share the legacy of the lost,
endless regurgitation of schemes forgotten
by monuments to the departed.
