Boreal Decimation
02:48
|
|||
|
Our world burns
Fire rains down
Insatiable thirst
Systematic collapse
Watch if unfold
March towards the end
Critical threshold
There is no return
Our lungs bleed
Smoke fills the sky
We are the cause
We are the rot
Strip the surface bare
Lack of forward thought
We are the cancer
We are the rot
(Chorus)
The trees are dying
The forest burns
Poison air, fills my lungs
Fields are fallow
Nothing grows
Stripped away, nothing remains
Our world ignites
Reduced to ash
Rivers are dry, nothing but dust
Our final days
The end arrives
Abandon hope, nowhere to hide

Light From 1,000 Suns
06:40
|
|||
|
Sun’s withering rays
Beats down upon our world
Wandering a wasteland
Of dust and human bones
How quickly we fall
Catastrophic collapse
Disorder of nature
Our reckoning has come
(Chorus)
Peeling away
Flesh falls away from my face
Burning sand
Nothing here remains
Blistering heat
Relentless from the sky
Watch it all wither
Our world slowly dies
(Bridge 1)
Alone we wander
Across the sea of sand
It’s all been swept away
Forsaken by our hands
How can we forgive
Turn our eyes away
We let our world wither
Now we all pay
(Bridge 2)
Light from 1,000 suns
Burning oh so bright
Watch if all wither
Our world slowly dies
(Repeat Chorus)

Barren
05:17
|
|||
|
I know what awaits me
Beyond this door
A godforsaken place
Nothing more grows
My family wanders
Across the plains
Devoid of life
Nothing but dust remains
(Chorus)
Seal my fate
I am chosen
Chosen to survive
Spectral being
Speaks to me
Seals my doom
Past the threshold
Behold the empty
A shimmering figure
Harbinger of doom
Whispers in my ear
Fills my thoughts with dread
Down into the depths
Playing with my fear
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
Seal my fate
I am chosen
I am chosen
I know what I must do
Seal my fate
Whispers in my ear
Behold a barren future
My path laid bare

Vultures
03:36
|
|||
|
Circling all around
Waiting for me to drop
Stumble my way forward
Mouth dry and parched
Gaze across the horizon
Scorched, barren earth
Endless sea of empty
World of dust and sand
(Chorus)
Vultures closing in; scavengers await their turn
Picking at my remains; whatever is left will burn
Vultures closing in; my time is drawing near
Death is close at hand; blistering heat sears
(Bridge)
Struggle to find our way; Wandering the barren plains
Sweet precious water; Nothing remains
Struggle to find our way; Searching for the sea
Total desolation; Nothing remains
Circling all around
Waiting for me to drop
Stumble my way forward
Mouth dry and parched
Gaze across the horizon
The shimmer of the sea
Voices guide me forward
Towards my sanctuary
(Repeat Chorus)

Beneath
06:29
|
|||
|
In the shallow water, I watch the sea rise
The swell of the waves, endless to my eyes
Mother told me tales; what may come to pass
Father gave credence; markers from the past
(Chorus 1)
Just beneath the surface
I see the ones I love
Calling me home
Return to the sea
Just beneath the surface
World has ebbed away
Calling me home
Return to the sea
At the water’s edge, a voice calls to me
Rising and falling, the shape of the sea
Water grows dark; depths call my name
Return to the beginning; lie with her again
(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)
Just beneath the surface
Nightmares come alive
The water pulls me down
My lungs slowly fill
Just beneath the surface
Voices from the deep
Calling me home
Return to the sea

Terra Umbra
06:27
|
|||
|
We lurk in the shadows
We live beneath the light
The sun no longer shines
It’s now forever night
Gleaming cities are gone
There is no salvation
Claims of false prophets
Led us to damnation
Alone in this world
Somehow we survived
Forsaken to solitude
Ruins of the past
Wander and scavenge
It’s all that is left for us
Living in the darkness
Of our ruined world
(Chorus)
Darkness consumes all; The sun no longer shines
Surrounded by dark and cold; The land of shadow
The witch speaks to me
Guides us from this place
Towards the open water
Towards the solace
Her voice speaks truth
Prophecy I can’t deny
Helpless against her power
I must obey
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
She appears before me; Apparition of death
Reality ebbs away; Swirling in her depths
(Repeat Chorus)

1,000 Years Of Night
05:42
|
|||
|
The cold of the winter, ice fills the air
The sun is slowly dying, heavy heart of despair
Turning from the ocean, our path is laid clear
Through the darkness, we must endure
(Chorus)
One thousand years of night
Endless dark and cold
The sun has gone black
My burden to bear alone
I’m the last one left
I face the darkness alone
One thousand years of night
Eternal silence and cold
Frozen to the core, the cold gives no respite
Grips us and holds us fast, the clutches of the night
Gazing up at the stars; guides us through the infinite black
Towards the sacred ground, we cannot, we must not turn back
(Bridge)
Our world has collapsed
Our reckoning has arrived
I am the last
Cursed to survive
(Repeat Chorus)
|

Hall Of The Gods
02:43
|
|||
|
Cross dark waters
Drifting towards my fate
Lay them down to rest
The earth begins to quake
(Bridge)
I bow before them, humble and alone
I stand before them, ready to atone
(Chorus)
I’ve made my sacrifice
I’ve given what was asked of me
Drifting from the desert
I’ve come for burial at sea
Calling for their souls
Cannot change their fate
Lay them down to rest
The earth begins to quake

Dark Age
07:34
|
|||
|
The cursed remain here
This dark and wretched place
Hope has drifted away
Stretching of time and space
Eternity of the universe
Laid bare before us now
Our world without life
Forever and ever more
(Chorus)
The end of an eon; Our time is done
Descend into the void; The dark age has come
Mountains collide
The oceans surge and boil
Forests turn to sand
End of time immemorial
Vile, acrid smoke
Poisons our skies
Our mother’s last gasp
Forever and ever more
(Chorus)
The end of an eon; Our time is done
Descend into the void; The dark age has come
The hand of doom; Grips our throat
Descend into the void; The dark age has come
The end of an eon; Life will cease
Forsaken by our hands; The dark age has come

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.
