In Eden lies a whispering stream,
Filled with man's indifference and shattered dreams
Along the bank, the waters grow
And in the depths, innocence begins to show
The waters seethe and simmer away
The bank subsides and slips into the fray
A molten miasma, a liquid embrace
For humanity's last saving grace
In the ruins of Eden lies a child of mine
Entwined in the spirit of the once divine
Birthed into a world corrupt, deprived
So precious, so pure, a child of mine
The clouds reach out like the hand of god
And the storm that once plagued us all
In a last grand finale, thunders away
That which shrouded us unfurls
And the formation of man regains its strength
The brilliance of a new beginning breathes at last
In the ruins of Eden lies a child of mine
Entwined in the spirit of the once divine
Birthed into a world corrupt, deprived
So precious, so pure, a child of mine

For Layla, who taught me what it was like to feel.
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
