There is only the frantic sculptor
That cannot be satisfied
That never sees its work as finished, perfect or divine
Masterpieces are dead ends
The sculptor would not dare create one
Unconcerned with beauty or function
Just the work to be done
The hands of time
Will find and bind you
In their rough palms
Without intention
They will crush and redefine you
Perfection is a dead end
Nothing grows in its limits
The sculptor abhors inertia and vacuum
Creator, destroyer, critic
To those who plummet through history
Death might seem a thief
But there's nothing to steal when there's nothing to own
But the violent and brief
The hands of time
Will find and bind you
In their rough palms
Without intention
They will crush and redefine you
Of all the old ideas
The soul is the last one to go
That life is nothing of value is a blinding truth
There is no power or purpose that the sculptor does not destroy
Cells are left to turn senile
They forget how not to decay
In old age the sun turns to blood and life drifts away
No tyrants demanding tribute
No shepherds tending to their flocks
No artist that needs us to exalt its creations
No wind
No rudder
No gods
They were illusions of the daylight
The light of one particular day
They were illusions of the daylight
The light of one particular day
I see the daylight stretching on forever
I see the genes that will be saved
I am not among them
This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt. meeko
Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
