Why aren't the old screaming?
Don't they feel their bodies cheat them?
Don't they feel the fickle form of flesh
Struggle, trying to leave them?
Crowded by death on all sides
Why do they expect the future?
Why do so few face age with desire
With wisdom and purpose, fewer?
You will never be young again
And you are closer to death than you've ever been
You will never feel the tightness make its home between your skin
The future never arrives
The present only stagnates
And the meat goes sour before it expires
It’s a human thing, to wait
So many unfinished lives
That dwindle while the body lingers
Drowned in the desert of muscle and sinew
Never finding the fingers
You will never be young again
And you are closer to death than you've ever been
You will never feel the tightness make its home between your skin
As above
So below
More behind
Less to go
My body a bitter seed
I hope the earth chokes
And sprouts a jagged lifeless tree
With a thousand spiders instead of leaves
Time makes failures of us all
From flesh
To bone
To rock
To dust
To nothing
“This tired Promethean drama of revolt, defiance and blasphemy goes on forever”
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
