about

Another bonus of working with Dan Presland (Drums - Ne Obliviscaris, A Million Dead Birds Laughing, Vipassi) he's a blasting machine! And we put him to good use here. Kiel (Stanger, songwriter) brought in the original ideas, which were very pretty, so I chucked in a bunch of death metal and we got this. On the blacker side with a wanky guitar solo. Special props to Shane for powering through all the harrowing blast to get this song finished!

lyrics

From the time of creation
To the time of decay
Finite biology
Formed to betray

More than human
Search for a cause
Hold on to the idea
That we are the source
Looking inside
Destroying from within
Cold blood now runs free
Decay can begin
Carrion for the soulless edge
Carbon wasted, now a darkened pledge

From the time of creation
To the time of decay
Finite biology
Formed to betray

Beyond the husk of earthly domain
Is where the metaphysical remains

As the battles rage toward our end
Upon a starlight night
We hope for a saviour
And hopelessly we fight
Pushing against finality
Like we believe we can
Turn the wheel of time
Forever doomed to lay in the darkness of our end

Beyond the husk of earthly domain
Is where the metaphysical remains

Human conditioning
Search for a cause
Hold on to the idea
That we are the source
Human conditioning
Search for a cause
Hold on to the idea
That we are the source

From the time of creation
To the time of decay
Finite biology
Formed to betray
