This was the last song we created for the album and it represents fire. The song describes a soul's journey into the void, reaching absolute zero, which in turn becomes everything. It represents the birth of the universe through destruction as a means of transformation. This song also represents smoking cannabis; burning and destroying the plant to release it's spirit. In this song, the subject is consumed by the void, becoming part of it and part of everything in the process. As the void consumes everything, the universe is born anew from the ashes of everything past.
lyrics
Lies! Surrounded!
By the ashes
Swallowed by the sea, consuming us
Falling... into the abyss
See me go, through the storm.
Letting go my soul
Suddenly awake!
See the void take the sea and transform all to dust.
Leave the body you once owned, tearing apart; becoming all.
For how long our mind will roam to repair our mistakes.
To get the poison out my heart,
We must drop ourselves
Against
The fall of the world, is because of you.
The fault of it, is ours.
Debris of our dust has fed the soil
with the hope of a newborn being; illuminated.
This is the catharsis of a new way
To feel the irony of watching this realm collide
Drown to the sea and become his life.
Change all from the inside to the core.
Drown... feel the pressure and let it go.
Lightning, tainted red, through your veins
The future is the wishes that we lost, by the time to come.
As this light will come, no one will prevail in here.
All will fall, no one will prevail, anything!
No one, anything!
As this light will come, no one will prevail, in here.
All will fall, no one will prevail, anything!
Everything is amazing about this album. From the extremely complex rhythms to the beautifully dissonant and soaring melodies. Wonderful production. -Sacha Burnt to Ashes
One of the best releases by this artist, he exploits microtones and even odder tempi, with a harsh and darkly insightful vibe. He truly is a modern black metal innovante. -Pepe Burnt to Ashes
One of my most listened albums of 2016, Derek Donley blends a variety of rhythms and atmospheres to create strong and well balanced music to be enjoyable any time. -David Burnt to Ashes
Filthiest Sludge record I've ever been deafened by!! Riffs are disgustingly heavy, the pounding of the drums is ferocious, the bass is gnarly as shit, & the vocals are pure evil!! ALL HAIL DOPETHRONE🤘 TheMetalheadGuy
