lyrics
In the shade he stands
Fallen yet burning still
Facing indifference
As it spires through the haze
Breaking flesh upwards to
Whisper sorrows to the sky
Gaze stern into the cold
Gleaning fortunes dreamt untold
Therein
Once left to seek purpose
Beyond its own worth
To live
Spirits frozen in flux
The way is shut for all
Not shown
Landmark effigy to our time closing in
The glory of countless mundane deaths
Choking dust, blinding lust
He feels the last for what it is
Casting out the withered flower of aspiration
Fallen yet burning still
Facing indifference
As it spires through the haze
Breaking flesh upwards to
Whisper sorrows to the sky
Gaze stern into the cold
Gleaning fortunes dreamt untold
Therein
Once left to seek purpose
Beyond its own worth
To live
Spirits frozen in flux
The way is shut for all
Not shown
Landmark effigy to our time closing in
The glory of countless mundane deaths
Choking dust, blinding lust
He feels the last for what it is
Casting out the withered flower of aspiration

Excellent album the whole way through. Hard to pick out a favorite, but I would have to go with the title track.

Another great album! my favorite song so far is: Embers.

The latest Djunah LP channels the duo's heavy, intensely cathartic sound to reflect on living with and healing from trauma.

Purple Haus
by Bear the MammothThe latest album from Purple Haus is a playful and poignant exploration of progressive post-rock.

A post-metal "supergroup" that's more than the sum of its parts.

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that.
