The consequences, both good and bad, of being left to one's own devices.
lyrics
These are the consequences of being alone
Like a brier growing wild and free.
Like a cardinal in the midst of Spring's reprieve.
I flew among the ruins for all to see,
Leaving a path of indignity 20 wide and 20 deep.
among the decay of a dreary day
everything I held dear flew away
like a blackbird in the midst of a winter rain
and among those shattered on a somber day
I tore asunder that which held me in
and I grew like an Aum in the summer bloom
These are the consequences of being alone
In the naivety of childhood,
Set among the ruins of a broken world where
I was enthralled in myself.
And in the new-found breath of sobriety,
Set among the shadows of a solemn construct,
I was enthralled in my youth's exalted symphony.
Enthralled in self
Enthralled in spite
Enthralled in lies
I was forgotten
Enthralled in the depravity
Of those lost in sin
I was gone
Still-born
I was fading away
Grasping on to anything
These are the consequences of being alone
And because of them, I breath again
Like a brier growing wild and free.
Like a cardinal in the midst of Spring's reprieve.
I flew among the ruins for all to see,
Leaving a path of indignity 20 wide and 20 deep
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
