lyrics
Hold back just this once
Take in what’s before you
Understand what’s here is only temporary
Have you never seen the cracks?
The unexplainable inconsistencies?
They’re everywhere
Underneath our noses, in front of our eyes
These walls are apparitions
The ground beneath us is a dream
Phantom constants glide behind us
Poking fun at our ignorance
Sinking into the seam
Unwoken to the skin near
Set fire to the tide
You’re just a puppeteer
Wait on in vain
Fear from the same again
There is more to life than just what we can see
We just can’t see it yet
We’re blinded by our doctrines
There are branches reaching through us their flowers blooming
In the mist we’re gathering to meet our own passing
We are givers, we are takers; we are everything
We give and we take life
We create and support it
But all we’re concerned about is the quality of our own existence
Our bonds spread further than our reach
Our shape is merely where atoms fall
Take in what’s before you
Understand what’s here is only temporary
Have you never seen the cracks?
The unexplainable inconsistencies?
They’re everywhere
Underneath our noses, in front of our eyes
These walls are apparitions
The ground beneath us is a dream
Phantom constants glide behind us
Poking fun at our ignorance
Sinking into the seam
Unwoken to the skin near
Set fire to the tide
You’re just a puppeteer
Wait on in vain
Fear from the same again
There is more to life than just what we can see
We just can’t see it yet
We’re blinded by our doctrines
There are branches reaching through us their flowers blooming
In the mist we’re gathering to meet our own passing
We are givers, we are takers; we are everything
We give and we take life
We create and support it
But all we’re concerned about is the quality of our own existence
Our bonds spread further than our reach
Our shape is merely where atoms fall

Cacophony of Terror
by NightmarerNightmarer’s aptly-named “Cacophony of Terror” is an onslaught of dissonant guitars and punishing death metal vocals.
go to album -
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres.
go to album -
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable.
