Tomorrow Held In Scorn

Tomorrow held in scorn
This night unraveled goes unborn
Stars that mark are starting fall away
If we curse the sun
Can we undo what the moon hath done
Lunacy with impunity
(There is none!)
Misfortune lies beyond the dawn
What need to carry on
When the curtain draws on -
our ludicra...
Reverie - quelled by the sun
A chore once more undone
Crusades remain unwon
Tomorrow held in scorn...
Bask in ugly ever after
Burning, angered eyes
Troubles and their looming shadows
With the day, arise
Reverie - quelled by the sun
A chore once more undone
Crusades remain unwon
Tomorrow held in scorn...
If we curse the sun
Can we undo what the moon hath done
Lunacy with impunity
(There is none!)

Hollow Promise

Should I come empty handed?
No redemption can I meet
Of no service to sovreignty
Lay no trophies at your feet
The sorrows that the earth bestow
Can no heaven balm
All the woe that cloaks and binds us
Cannot 1,000 virtues calm
The hollow promise of a hollow psalm
And their need for shepherds
Will see them duelly fleeced
Their hides provide in bitter times
Warmth for the priests
Amid moth eaten scrim
Behind shines the heavens
It's glow growing dim
Illuminate on secret shame
Casting shadows across
A box of dirt which bears your name
The sorrows that the earth bestow
Can no heaven balm
All the woe that cloaks and binds us
Cannot 1,000 virtues calm
The hollow promise of a hollow psalm

The Final Lamentation
06:26
|
|

Lachrymal drops fall as trees beyond reach
Devoid of voice
Lacking reason
Cascading at random, salted rains
But as oft
As the tides
A tireless flow which stops at nothing
For no sense
Can annul it's weight
Crimson pearls dot twisted path
Granting clues
Of corporeal treason
Flowing with purpose as lover's tears
Yet failing
To bring forth release
Still ruby ribbons from outstretched arms
Paint a room
Red with regret
Still ruby ribbons from outstretched arms
Paint a room
Red with regret

Slithering, crawling
Through a glade, corrupting virtue
Twisted, maligned
Swallow whole the souls of angels
Controlling serpent
Constricts and crushes purest pleasure
Searing poison
Injected tincture numbs the fallen
Treacherous snake
Crawling into being
Extending existance
Passing mortality
Shawdows hiding fate
It's a lie unto myself
The snake has taken everything
It is this servitude
What sickening self-revolt
Tricked into temptation
Coiled within it's folds
Blinded by self hatred
Dark shawdows dominate
Rake the skin
Scales hard-edged embrace
Lost to sin, blackened
Guilt held in disgrace
Slithering, crawling
Through a glade, corrupting virtue
Twisted, maligned
Swallow whole the souls of angels
Controlling serpent
Constricts and crushes purest pleasure
Rotten inside
Injected tincture numbs the fallen

Anger burns by candle-light
To those named not worthy
A tedious wait, ceaseless
For life's toil to break
A lull that never soothes
A quiet bereft of peace
No sense of kindred binds
To those left behind
Empty...
Time, torpor, numbing ennui
Rage, hunger, void of hope
Heaped upon impassive floors
Defeated pawns forever more
Fighting darkness alone, lives slip away
Writhe in darkness alone, life slips away
Writhing darkness, a lone life pissed away
Die in darkness, a lone life slipped away

Damn the Night
06:50
|
|

|
Sunken eyes still have sight
To view a hope, a hope for light
Burnt tresses wreak a sour plight
This nightmare now true to your delight
If it is true, then damn the night
Embracing tomb, for it's only...
For it is your dwelling
It is your hour, your only hour
Where you'll perish and wish alone
You'll wish alone, you will see
Encased, this place of stone
Final hour to attone
(No more burdens bestowed at dawn)
Enshrouded in blackened skies
Wish for light within the lies
(When the ceaseless night is gone)
And what is left - a hollow rotting
Only eyes wait, sunken
As dead love walks hand in hand
Nightmares, hatemares
Engaging, enraging
Tonight I... I damn thee
Your night fall, your hour
Damn the night, for it only falls undone
Damn the night, for it is nothing but artifice
Damn the night, for it is only a fraud
Where you'll wish, you will wish alone

Awake to Grey
16:02
|
|

|
Murdering the beast inside through time
Abandoning memories
Extracting claret
Squelching life
If we die before the dawning hour
Grant one more moment of lucid ardour
If we die before the dawning hour
Grant one more moment of lucid ardour
And the time of indecision
Before the nothing struck
Before the river drained
Bleeding in graves
Aching under
Impassive tongues
Blessed ignorance
Shaped to the sunrise
Painted slumber
Forget what matters
Awake to grey
This brain is chaos crawling
Crippled on all fours
The face belies lividity
Migrates through pores
If we die before the dawning hour
Grant one more moment of hated adoration
If we die before the dawning hour
Grant one more moment of lucid ardour
And the time of indecision
Before the dull hath struck
Before the vigor drained.
Bleeding in graves
Aching under
Impassive tongues
Blessed ignorance
Shaped to the sunrise
Painted slumber
Forget what matters
Awake to grey
Mourn in wrathful agony
Mourn in wrathful agony?
For fate's return to forever renew
The face of erudite, a plea to end
The face of erudite, a plea to end evading
Mourn in wrathful agony
Agony?

Roads To The North
by Panopticon
supported by 17 fans who also own “Hollow Psalms”
Le son des pieds qui s'enfoncent dans la neige, un black metal atmosphérique qui s'abat comme une tempête de grêle et tranche la peau, des violons polaires : Roads To The North est aussi glacial qu'un album de Paysage d'Hiver (surtout Schnee). En tout cas au début. Panopticon nous invite en fait moins à une méditation statique qu'à une randonnée, une ascension jusqu'aux sommets. On y accède à pieds en surpassant la douleur, en train en profitant du folklore. C'est un grand parcours initiatique.

total brain melter! Krallice decides to take their music in a slightly different direction, introducing extremely chaotic and technical riffs amidst super complicated drum patterns. heavy Behold the Arctopus vibes from this one.
