Father, tear him out of my heart
(Farther father)
Break his image into infinite shards
(Farther father)
Cut their throats spill the poison blood
(Stain the altar)
Cast me out of the grace, the light, and the love
I am meaningless to heaven
I am invisible to hell
If there’s a reckoning out there
Why haven’t I been cut down and buried shallow where I fell
Father I’ve communed with the dark
(Farther father)
With a void, with no edge and no heart
(Farther father)
It is here dressed in your holy robes
(The candles falter)
Deceit and death disguised in his favorite cloaks
I want the burden of proof
Not the convenience of fate
I’d rather be alone
Than worship a word on the page
A word on a page
As I accept the sacrament
(Forgive forget)
And revel in the testament
(Forgive forget)
My return to serenity
(Forgive forget)
Why haven’t you forgiven me?
Why?
Why won’t you forgive me?
Return to serenity
Why won’t you forgive me?
Why?
Why won’t you forgive me?
Fade to obscurity
Why won’t you forgive me
Your pain is killing all of me
I am meaningless to heaven
I am invisible to hell
If there’s a reckoning out there
Why haven’t I been cut down and buried shallow where I fell?
The only hand I feel on my back
Is a creeping fever robed in black
The bell won’t till unless he rings it
The hole isn’t dug until he digs it
There is no plan he is it
We’re just pawns for the slaughter of his bishop
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
On the forthcoming Tombs album "All Empires Fall," the band expands their scope and range, balancing brutal riffs with melancholy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2016
What an album! The only reason the album didn't elevate them straight to stardom is not enough people heard it. Modern classic - from start to finish. c1ch
