about

It's been a while.
Deathspell Omega meets Pan.Thy.Monium, A Forest of Stars, Vulture Industries, and other things in a sprawling track that's constantly changing.

lyrics

Picture, if you will, a shrine with length 1 on all sides. It's made of marble and surrounded by a moat.
Entering the shrine you notice four altars, one in each corner of the (only) room.
The light reflecting off of them shoots straight up to a white object on the ceiling, and no one has been able to see the etching carved within it without being struck blind. The indecipherable has left me oblivious.
There's no need to take it further. I can divert my intelligence elsewhere. I don't need to know the most important questions of life and be left with a debt I will never pay in full.
It's as if I'm returning to something elastic, like a cartoon. Flexible, indestructible, and INNOCENT.
Put down the wine and sponge, break the lock (digest it if necessary), and remove the garments that forbid you of sight. Roam in the fields, the public parks, the playgrounds we used to thrive in. Bathe your room in the fluorescent white light of a surgeon, and extract the darkness that covers the floor.
Rejecting the law intentionally to unmask your true self, the baby-faced soul whose life is defined by the caesium atom. It's only after we shed the dead cells that we view the world with literal fresh new eyes, as if every day was the first day.
The following day a crowd impossible to number were bathed in a saturated orange light, their flesh illuminated by the twinkling of the dust particles blowing in the wind.
The light's intensity grew but their eyes were not affected, for they knew they had risen above the darkness clouding the people forever.
