Psychomanteum

Staring into the void
Seeking dark consorts
As my reflection fades
A frightening sight takes form
I gaze upon the forbidden visage
Opening vistas of the mind
Better left forgotten
For all of time
This wretched revelation begging to be released
By unholy rites thought to be deceased

Infinite Suffering
00:41
|
|
||
|
In my infinite suffering
I hope to die
But without life
I can't escape the pain
Although i feel dead
Sentient tormentors plague my head
Rip my soul from this fleshly torture
Let me fall from this place
Can i not return
to my waking life from
this eternal darkness?
Swarms of dissociated entities fight for my soul

Cryptic Void
01:09
|
|
||
|
Now I'm forced to see
My greatest fears while never knowing
For all of eternity
I will never be released from this cryptic void
I offered my soul with no reservation
With no understanding of what lies beyond
The allure of fulfilling my desires
Left me blind and slave to death
What i once knew as me has now turned to dust
All that is left is this
Cryptic void in my head

Subside Into Twilight
00:38
|
|
||
|
I've only been taught to hate
lust, fear, and act on rage!
In my overt arrogance
I attempt to become divine
Now banished to obscurity
I only long for my corporeal life
Forever subside into twilight

I once worshiped darkness
Now i long for Light
Life i knew is no more
My psyche torn apart
Wandering in the dark
My motive becomes elusive
My self-serving thoughts manifest
Into these demonic forms
My mind comprises a profusion of diabolic entities
Life i knew is no more
My psyche torn apart
Wandering in the dark
Searching for whence i came
My being forever in flux

Unluminous
Black Abyss
I'm ensnared
Incorporeal

Encounter the Shadow
00:43
|
|
||
|
Now I clearly see the face
That is confining me to this place
It's psychic torment propagates
and pollutes my every thought
Who am I?
Where am I?
|

The Vision and the Voice
00:42
|
|
||
|
And from the shadows voices call to me
Telling me i can be anything i want to be
All they need in return is a sacrifice
Only the negation of Self will suffice
Who are these astral entities?
Do they have ill intent?
Can i discern truth from lies in this abyss?

Key of the Abyss
00:51
|
|
||
|
"Thou hast entered the night
dost thou yet lust for the day?"
Is this not why I took the plunge
to speak with life-forms from beyond?
As far as I've come
I only want to withdraw
But in my arrogance
I tear down the next veil
Deeper into the abyss
To see what lies beyond

Time-Eating Chasm
00:39
|
|
||
|
Ripped from corporeal existence
Into the place between
A time-eating chasm with no terrestrial link
Beyond an impossible barrier
A nightmare
From beyond
What remains
Is a shell

Hidden History of the Human Race

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite....
