:INTRO: on this day, I give you my heart, my soul, my life for you always and forever on this day, I make this vow to you: never will I stray or wander for you are the only one for me through the darkest trials and the highest joys may you and I always be as one on this day, forever, amen :VERSE 1: shrouded in grey the stars hang wistfully high Aten burns ever brighter as if about to explode blissfully, they play as if the sky had no end god turns his face and the firmament begins to erode :VERSE 2: and the earth cries the heavens bow as two become one a day foretold by wise men of old brought about through an ignorant vow etched upon and woven into the ages :PRECHORUS: ab aeterno ab infinitum alea iacta est :CHORUS: free yourselves from perdition raise up and reach for Zion realize your personal ecstasy has become mankind's archenemy :VERSE 3: love soars like an angel first given wings and lands on a bed made with shards of the sun lust bores into the deep like the roots of yggdrasil and in its wake, all creation becomes undone :PRECHORUS: ab aeterno ab infinitum alea iacta est :CHORUS: free yourselves from perdition raise up and reach for Zion realize your personal ecstasy has become mankind's archenemy :OUTRO: from the beginning without end *the die has been cast

:VERSE 1: From empyrean, they descend darkening the skies with an auburn hue searing the skin of gaia behold our demise :VERSE 2: the cosmos accepts its defeat and once-great broken beacons send shards to pierce the veil bitter-sweet in its end gaia weakens and sighs as their tale comes to a close :VERSE 3: Like a great plague of lost memory This cataclysm cloaks them in the whisper of gahenna fairy tales become nightmares As vapor forms humanesque shadows in the late evening hour kadoor ha'aretz, wilting and weary succumbs to the darkness obscuring all of our latent hopes :Verse 4: a flower born of desire bore fruit turned rotten in the splendor of youth in soil tilled with adoration came an inferno too strong to uphold caught in the mire of ruination and brought to their knees by a horrible truth our damnation through their salvation foretold from beginning to end :OUTRO: a flower born of desire do you know of what I speak? in the garden of lust, you bore fruits of damnation and I watched you from afar knowing what would transpire a blossoming escalation do you know of what I speak? you met not knowing of the fire waiting to be unleashed and I watched from afar knowing all too well of your adoration and I watched from afar and I did nothing
3.	Angelic Assurance 04:04	lyrics	buy track
:INTRO: Before humanity's first breath Great bloodshed tore heaven apart death greeted those thought to be untouchable and two depart to end an epoch before it had begun :VERSE 1 A: a great fissure in the promised land spawns forth demons too dark for dreams and their crowning jewel, Iyzabel at the forefront of a great uprising :VERSE 1 Bi: the left hand of god, Eifa, hosanna on high screams towards those with anarchy's flag :VERSE 1 Bii: under authority's rule, destined for condemnation and ordained to fall prey to the hand of fate :PRE-CHORUS: son and daughter so defiled with a glimpse of the other so reviled son and daughter, enthralled, beguiled lost to the other with a sensual smile :CHORUS: Clothed in the darkness piercing into his soul wrapped in the warmth of lechery stymied by loss of control and driven senseless by the weight of treachery :VERSE 2 A: Poured out like an offering, I am yours to devour lacerate me and invigorate my vitality as adrenaline surges across my disposition :VERSE 2 B i: this calling is ours, for you and for I empower us in this moment :VERSE 2 B ii: may finality imbue us with assurance and let our ambition never lead us asunder :PRE-CHORUS: son and daughter of zeus and belial lost to the other in innocence and denial son and daughter to be put on trial for dire actions that were left unreconciled :CHORUS: Clothed in the darkness piercing into his soul wrapped in the warmth of lechery stymied by loss of control and driven senseless by the weight of treachery :SOLO: the scions of jehovah and apollyon condemned and damned doomed to drown
4.	Angelic Imprisonment 03:59	lyrics	buy track
:INTRO SOLO: :VERSE 1: (cleans) deep in Arcadia, elohim cries the only heir to be forgotten. (growls) baptize in obscurity, your noose will reflect in the eye of Aten :VERSE 2: with this yoke I bind thee, son of mine heir to the throne, be one with the unknown may his burden confine thee, scion of thine heiress to the Cimmerian shade, be one with the betrayed :PRE-CHORUS: woven into the tapestry of an epoch newly birthed where expiration was spun before exhalation and knowledge was eclipsed in gray, never to be unearthed :CHORUS: amor deus supra amorem infra satan non temporis misit ad locum ubi si non renovetur amor eifa et amor iyzabel non potest ab illis septem signacula sunt a Domino exercituum :VERSE 3: sealed away in slumber Eifa and Iyzabel lay in stasis together eternally, forever apart yet one so loved, for her, he will depart :VERSE 4: like a lamb to the slaughter her father, saviour and sacrifice to free both son and daughter from bonds meant only to prevent mankind's demise :PRE-CHORUS: their hands hold the seeds of devastation the clay, their love, the lifeblood, their decay in ignorance, they wilted mortal flesh without hesitation :CHORUS: amor deus supra amorem infra satan non temporis misit ad locum ubi si non renovetur amor eifa et amor iyzabel non potest ab illis septem signacula sunt a Domino exercituum latin chorus is as follows in english the love of god above and the love of satan below sent to a place where they can do no harm but the love of eifa and the love of iyzabel cannot be contained by these seven seals placed by the lord of hosts
5.	Birthed In Blood 02:46	lyrics	buy track
:INTRO: carried away by timeless hands predestined to die in a ceaseless circle as all days wilt and wither where will you find solace now? :CHORUS: descending into a frigid fold of an unending affliction left uncontrolled a meeting braided through time as the years become faded and the gears become jaded :VERSE 1: stripped of their divinity, all pride and their memories yet tied to the other with inescapable bonds in the vast ocean of infinity ordained to meet once and again with all but one being in vain :VERSE 2: and in that sanctuary of serenity where those on the brink of a neoteric existence beget the gift of life on those soon to suffocate immersed in their mother's vitality along the path of least resistance through the wilds and wastelands, humanity will asphyxiate :SOLO: :PRE-CHORUS: as all days wilt and wither where will you find solace now? :CHORUS: descending into a frigid fold of an unending affliction left uncontrolled a meeting braided through time as the years become faded and the gears become jaded :OUTRO: carried away by timeless hands predestined to die in a ceaseless circle as all days wilt and wither where will you find solace now?
6.	Bathed In Finality 03:12	lyrics	buy track
:VERSE 1: Stand before the might of something greater than thou see that you are nothing but a glimmer lost in time Eifa, in your insignificance came forth a mighty vow and Iyzabel, you birthed into being an atrocious crime :VERSE 2 A: As they watch gaia bow before Aten's might great mountains succumb to the tide all life becomes inert everything shudders, sighs with sonance :VERSE 2 B: they succumb to fright both bride and groom fall down to the dirt their failure reeking of aberrance :PRE-CHORUS: :VERSE 3: Break like the tree under the tsunami Bend like stone as the earth buckles and bows Wither like the willow under the midsummer sun Screech like the Banshee Howl at your own inadequate self-worth you and your soulmate have become undone :PRE-CHORUS: :CHORUS: Birthed into life once and again for this they were promised, fated to meet yet in something so beautiful and so pure came an abomination that devoured us all in their death, there's no relief from a rift they've come and gone forever and always together eternally

about

A thread spun from before the beginning of man, The Rift chronicles that which we all must succumb to: love and triumph, madness and defeat. Follow the footsteps of Eifa and Iyzabel through sin's summer and a wanderer's winter, outside of and woven into time and its incessant ticking.

"As all days wilt and wither, where will you find solace now?"

To everyone that stuck with me through this long journey, thank you. I also want to give special mention to Maggie for help with artwork and musical guidance. I'm sure I've missed others, but this journey has been too long and my memory fades. If that is the case, know that your contributions were appreciated!
