I am reality
That which you see
I am the arbitrator
Believe not your eyes
I alone will determine your truth
Defending you from detraction
Denying you from soothsayers' lies
I am the ego, protector of your fragility
Bringer of adulation, shield from all hostility
I am reality, truth bears no relevance
But what of the ego?
It matters not
In my presence
For I am the one who decides what's real
And if truth comes before me, it shall still remain concealed
I am perception, born of your desire
With a spear in truth's side, I set your truth on fire
No tears, only a grin from eye to eye
For I, have saved you from contradiction and lies
I am perception, born of your desire
With a spear in truth's side, I set your truth on fire
No tears, only a grin from eye to eye
For I, have saved you from contradiction and lies

Without Conscience

The beast lives in fear, tormented and caged
Starving for love, its soul enraged
A darkness fills the air, cruelty with no respect
Force-fed, its spirit wrecked
We are no different than the beast
Our thirst for blood, our desire to feast
What drives man's incessant cruelty?
Is it power, his lord and savior, or blasphemy?
Indifferent to the suffering, a heart of stone
Man forgets the creature, the beast alone
Hung high, Bled Dry, a sacrifice to the dark
Wet markets in the east, a bloodbath that leaves its mark
Confined feeding in the west, a slaughter without end
A slaughter without end
The beast and us, we are one and the same
In the darkness, we thrive, in the fire we bathe
A symphony of screams, a chorus of pain
The beast and us, we are one and the same
In the darkness, we thrive, in the fire we bathe
A symphony of screams
Belial Enflamed
The beast and us
Denial sustained
A world in chaos, our throne we claim
In the darkness, we'll forever reign
The beast and us, united we stand
In eternal night, the devil's hand
The world in chaos, our throne we claim
In the darkness, we'll forever reign
The beast and us, united we stand
In eternal night, the devil's hand
The beast and us

A Soul Purged
07:05
|
|||
|
The soul in fervor, releases the poison within
Actions of man repugnant, with interest only in themselves
Truth is dead, lies fill the vacuum left behind
As leaders of vermin exploit it to soothe their fragile minds
Anima, Animus
Ad limen nauseam
Veritas
Est Mortuus
Et regulae
VERMES
Invaded by the unseen, a foe that brings us to our knees
Graves fill by the thousands, our well-being in distress
Empathy becomes secondary to the self-absorbed disease
A soul heaves with nothing to give, emptiness a plague
I saw hate
Like roots begging for water that never comes, our emotions toxic
This new world, our humanity in chaos
Our humanity in chaos
We struggle to survive, in this human depression
Desperately seeking connection, to break free from this obsession
But the darkness that surrounds us
Makes it hard to see the light
As we fight to reclaim our souls and emerge from this endless night
Vulnerable soul
All alone
Forced to see
Compelled to be

A light so dim, under lock and key
Freedom confiscated, they took it from me
A knock at the door, I know what's coming
Giving myself to strangers, they're coming
I am unseen, a forgotten soul
Left to suffer, out of control
Moonlight reflects off the pavement
Pacing relentlessly across a city block
Under the watchful eye of evil
Losing myself to strangers, it’s lethal
Broken spirit, abandonment of hope
Empty Promises are all they know
My life's become a nightmare, with no escape
Trapped in a cycle, with no reprieve or break
I long for the day, when I'll be free
Till then, I am unseen, a nobody
A life becomes a nightmare, with no escape
Trapped in a cycle, demonic embrace
I long for the day, when I'll be free
Till then, I am unseen, their puppet to be
I wait for the day, when I'll break free
Till then, I am unseen, their devilish decree
I long for the day, when I'll be free
Till then, I am unseen, their puppet to be

No God To Greet Me
07:12
|

Life has come to an end
Time is done, and now I ascend
To become one with those who passed before
I am ready to walk through heaven's door
But there was no God to greet me
No paradise
No savior to set me free
But there is no God to meet me
No Eternal Life
No answers, just a pitch black sea
Everything I was taught was a lie
No afterlife, just a final goodbye
No pearly gates, no judgment seat
No angels singing, no devils
Everything I was taught was a lie
No afterlife, just a final goodbye
No fiery gates, no infernal king
No demons laughing
No God nor devil to confer
I just wish I had more time
The truth is bitter, the realization harsh
All my life, I have followed a false march
Now I stand here, at the edge of eternity
My only wish, was to have more time
With clarity
My journey ends, in this dark abyss
No light, no love, nothing real exists
I face the end, with open eyes
And embrace the nothingness
without…without lies
A Life came to an end
But could not ascend
No Veil to transcend

Life has gone on long enough

The driving point of the songs on an album such as this, is just the melodies being played. They are solid, often quite simple, a lead guitar and a rhythm guitar and a humble synth playing often almost unnoticeably in the background. The result is some really good black metal, not one that tries to impress with violent imagery, fast drums, anti-christianity, and the likes, but rather one who solely relies on the quality of the songs.

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard...

Inevitable is one of my highest anticipated albums of the year. I even got lucky and my copy a few days early. As expected and hoped for, it is extremely good. There's the silent, fragile passages - which are as somber and beautiful as the final stage of grief - and punishing ones, which are hitting hard this time. A Reason To Be ripped my face off. NONE have DONE it again: Inevitable is an album nothing short of pristine. It is spectacular, hypnotic and emotional throughout. My #2 album 2023.
