Vicious rumors shake the truth out of my existence,
the plague of desperate hope sticking to my spawning thoughts.
The arrogance of intellect devoured by reality checks...
All the outcomes I've predicted...
None have found the here and now. Anyhow...
The thread's been cut, my hubris shut. Lessons to be learned...
Stare and see - the face of the madman!
More than a mask in a play misunderstood.
Applaud the scene!
So brilliantly staged as in life itself.
No flaw! I believed it...
Well deceived - the curse of the scared man.
The twitching dance to desperation's tune.
Crawling down on me - the tears of the sad man.
Force-fed insight, that nothing is immune.
Ovations for the thespian!
Of utmost importance!
Waving to the blazing light of the afterlife...
As doubtful eyes give lie to the tongue,
like a wicked song about to be sung,
I peel off the bleeding mask to reveal whats underneath.
Howling of agony! For the false grimace has grown on me.
Suddenly sane! Rid of pain! Epiphany that struck me way too late!
Empty are the seats...
No one there to see.
Oh the blazing light...
No one left but me
Slowly risen from the bleakest depths
the seeker has found what he needed to find.
But the very implication of fulfilling fears
are worse to him than being torn to pieces.
Torn to pieces!
Stare and see - the fate of the mad man!
More than a task in a life misunderstood.
Down on his knees with the eyes of a dead man,
tapping rock bottom for the shards of what was good.
Ovations for the thespian!
Of utmost importance!
Waving to the blazing light of the afterlife...
Towards the blazing light!

Love this sludgy, doomy, blackened dm concoction. Warcrab went in a more energetic and arguably more focused direction after this, but I think this album will always be my favourite. Recommended!

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
I'm late to the party, but this is a beast of an album. Will be replaying this one a lot, and will get anything new from this group. Amazing from start to finish :) somethingsomething9
