Falling,
Right into this endless hole,
So dark, but so bright,
Amongst the Virgo’s stars.
Dying, despite this light sphere,
Delivering so much energy,
Through the ages.
Ashes, burning from this kingdom,
Rising upon the sky,
And this blood river flying,
Coming to our eyes.
Majestic,
Element of the universe,
Mysterious state of matter,
Drowning through nowhere.
Infinity,
Flooding the land…
Nothing left to see.
Hallows of the beginning,
Shining through the storms
Big relics of the world’s youth
Finally came to us.
Revealing darkest secrets,
Of the ancient times,
A fortunate look to past,
Maybe already dead.
The terrible winds of gas,
Blowing at the speed of light,
Made of heaviest materials,
Feeding this monster.
The marvelous accretion disk,
Blowing at the speed of time,
Made of heaviest materials,
Flaming whirlpool.
The painting on the cover (Udslidt by H A Brendekilde, if anyone is interested) and the music is in perfect alignment. So much sorrow, so much despair... Right from the start I can feel my soul wither away with each riff. Still, towards the end of the record I can catch little glimpses of hope in the melodies. A beautiful journey in the bleak reality of existence. vilmosomedve
