lyrics
I had a dream I was dead in the sunshine
The dirt was warm but my body was cold
My eyes open frozen to the blue sky
The snake still singing as I lay told
I had a dream that all the feeling of the world left me
Prettiest I’ve ever seen you smiling on your own
This abandonment has left me inside a vacant shell
Awake to a replica impression of a take that that’ll never escape you
Tie both hands into believing
Those fairy tales are glamorised by years of pinned down decisions
Tie both hands into believing
Your principles are glamorised by years of bleak vanity
Bleeding out slow
The dream is now a replica
Aiding our tasteless cry
Carried to the unknown
Pulling down
The fallen pieces by my feet carried astray leaving only one
On my knees now I believe that I don’t need you to find myself
My prides amnesia that I’ve conceived to charm the ghost of forgotten love Hollow with silence I show my teeth there can only be one
Bleeding out slow
The dream is now a replica
Aiding our tasteless cry
Carried to the unknown
Pulling down
Tie both hands into believing
The dirt was warm but my body was cold
My eyes open frozen to the blue sky
The snake still singing as I lay told
I had a dream that all the feeling of the world left me
Prettiest I’ve ever seen you smiling on your own
This abandonment has left me inside a vacant shell
Awake to a replica impression of a take that that’ll never escape you
Tie both hands into believing
Those fairy tales are glamorised by years of pinned down decisions
Tie both hands into believing
Your principles are glamorised by years of bleak vanity
Bleeding out slow
The dream is now a replica
Aiding our tasteless cry
Carried to the unknown
Pulling down
The fallen pieces by my feet carried astray leaving only one
On my knees now I believe that I don’t need you to find myself
My prides amnesia that I’ve conceived to charm the ghost of forgotten love Hollow with silence I show my teeth there can only be one
Bleeding out slow
The dream is now a replica
Aiding our tasteless cry
Carried to the unknown
Pulling down
Tie both hands into believing

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme.

An absolutely pummeling assault of thick sludgy riffs, guttural rumbles, and tribal drums. Listening to this album is like being slowly buried by an avalanche. Practically makes Isis sound like Top 40 pop music by comparison.

It is interesting to observe how Rosetta band is experimenting with its style and improving within every album. Great work!

Thunderous post-rock/post-metal from Thumos where every song feels gigantic, built around complex rhythms & arrangements.

This album is haunting, beautiful, and cathartic. One of the best post-black metal albums out there. I bought a cd on Discogs, but needed the vinyl.
