ArpKor Okay, im surprised! Positively surprised! This is an awesome album! The mix of brutality and the melodies + the melancholical clean vocals feel real, it all fits together, without being mainstream or washed up! GREAT! 5 out of 5! Favorite track: Projection.

Morts What an awesome album! It's so disjointed and full of juxtopositions yet it all fits together cohesively into a whole that exceeds the sum of its parts. There are quiet introspective moments punctuated by bursts of face-mutilating fury. The interplay of clean and death vocals seems natural and they don't try to outdo each other. So many moods represented here, try not to get disoriented... Favorite track: Projection.

Interlude I 00:41

Projection 03:58
Projection A storm is coming This is the beginning You’re on your own You will be driven out, denied, and reduced to silence Many voices many minds Inside From the beginning You gave your rights to survive within my consciousness You’ll be stripped away of existence Within these walls You’ll be driven out You will be driven out I will defeat you Overcome myself This is A beginning The beginning Compassion is unknown Compassion has failed us
3.
Deceit of Conscience I deny myself, and all that I am There’s nothing left for you to say Close your eyes Tread behind And say goodbye to what you believe Sleep brings no release It’s time to wake To never quell that inner voice Tearing through your heart This plague of sin Will not be washed away The darkness within you Will tear you down And return Time and time again There’s nothing left for you to say Nothing left for you to be Guilt waits me out And wakes me again It’s not your place to say Shaking and alone That there is love {Taking all you have} - {Monika & Warren} There is love {Taken all you love} - {Monika & Warren} There is trust If but for the moment Contrition is all you had And it’s not who I am Alone, betrayed I will live to bring you down To breathe you in For I am numb

Interlude II 01:50
5.
The Pharmakon You level me with your gaze I watched you change Frozen, disengaged You’re so weak Choices are contusions Let go Control is an illusion Let go And go on Your anger is useless without reflection Shrouding the happiest moments in sadness numbness I can no longer hunt this emotion For when I look into your eyes I see nothing But myself Watching me drown Follow me down This hatred A reflection of everything I am Poisons me And cures me You will never level me with that gaze again Follow me For nothing can save you now
6.
Atonement 04:01
Atonement My liege My Sage So far away My grief My rage So numb and grey At least echo Or sigh Your silence is devastating me Leave me behind My love I now realize I cannot contain these things inside of me When I give myself completely My love is lost And horrors rise But nothing else could have shown me Anything more beautiful Nothing else could have shown me How beautiful this all can be How beautiful this could have been
