lyrics

Why did we make it about us?
A vain ape spun from stardust
That only venerates itself
In tales of purpose
A desolate speck in the gravity net of an average star that's
Burning to death
Our pedestal has crumbled
Our prominence, a myth

The Great Dying
The abyss rolls on forever
It might not be tomorrow
But it won't be never
Freezing dark
Empty stone
And barren fire
The simplicity the universe desires

The end of the world
Is not the end of the world
The end of the world
Is not the end
Of the living things upon it
The rest remains in dying orbit
No life left to struggle and feel the sunlight wearing thin
Entropy always wins

Beyond the fury and the sprawl
A silent world awaits
Everything finally at peace
Everything finally in its place
Look at the stars
And see no sign in the face of nature
Distant like the love of god
Retreating from his total failure

The Great Dying
Bursting out from sagging wombs to take uncertain forms
Drenched in disorder from the point that it was born
Everything given will be returned
Nothing less, nothing more

The end of the world
Is not the end of the world
The end of the world
Is not the end
Of the living things upon it
The rest remains in dying orbit
No life left to struggle and feel the sunlight wearing thin
Entropy always wins

The abyss rolls on
Dreaming its black dream
The abyss rolls on
Dreaming its black dream
The abyss rolls on forever
It might not come tomorrow
But it won't be never

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

Emptiness fills The Void
by Stortregn

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Great Dying”

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
