Come slowly sober death
As sunlight creeping through
Earth is a warm and beautiful dream
The rest is trying to kill you
Everything retreating
The void is always eating
Robbing us of form, of purpose, of meaning
Cosmic sea reclaims the land
The holes in my teeth deepen
Nothing cast in matter
Won't buckle or weaken
We think of ourselves as solutions
The conclusion to evolution
We scuttled in ugly spindle legs
Far longer than we've been humans
Decay
The stoic enforcer
Disease
The outraged revenge
Extinction
The constant wash and foam of subtle change
Never taking form
Never coming to an end
Cannibal cosmos, so mechanical
That made the only animal that knows that it will die
Cannibal, only mind and mineral
Permanence is an illusion born from the shortness of our lives
Triton, doomed moon of Neptune
Dragged backwards to destruction
Fate parallel to humans
If time has an author
We’re its early, single letters
The scrawl of an infant maker who will learn to write better
Everything retreating
Weak and losing meaning
Cannibal cosmos, so mechanical
That made the only animal that knows that it will die
Cannibal, only mind and mineral
Permanence is an illusion born from the shortness of our lives
No matter how certain, how sure, how strong
No matter how certain, how sure, how strong
Nothing stops the patient sea and none survive the sun
None survive the sun
None survive
Cannibal cosmos, so mechanical
That made the only animal that knows that it will die
Cannibal, only mind and mineral
Permanence is an illusion born from the shortness of our lives
As go cattle
So go men
As go worlds
So go men
As go stars
So go men
Not so distant

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
