lyrics

We are gathered here today
To spread the ashes of our lives
A turmoil of nausea
An untying of bonds

Within the wreckage
The burning freedom found at last
We’re heading for the deep
The deep and...
Callous cold

The contrast of familiarity
And vile words spewn forth
Could not be reconciled within reason
A fate now set in stone, worlds collapsing

For the noose
Brought forth with such conviction
An idolatry
That never been questioned
From the depths
A venom arising

The infinity of the flaming sun
And the scalding solace of the moon
A blinding wreckage of stars

Never set straight
Never set straight

I am not...
You
And there will never be
Another chance
The reasons leading up to this moment

Scorn and vilified
Will be duly noted

A new future in
Oh so different shape

This cannot be
Forgotten
And, this will not be
Forgiven

It once was plausible
But since then doomed to failure

A balanced worldview haltered
And been forever thrown to the wolves

Never explained
Never set straight

Never explained
Never set straight

Never explained
Never set straight

about

Aesthetics of a loss Malmö, Sweden

I made this music to make an impact, not money. Feel free to share it with whomever in whatever form you like.

Quick facts:

It’s melodic death metal with a tinge of epic sadness.

It’s a one man show. All you see and hear is the labor of one person.
