Limitation

I came into my own
Signs and premonitions
But there are only question marks
Learn my lesson
And did my level best
But to bury the last chances
Was not my considered choice
I met with my deserts
Somehow
Issue of fact
I made a rod for my own back
Or is it a life mission?
Nightly reflections
And workaday pains
Sullen limitations
Just to bear a load
Inspired by the distress
How much time for us
A second or long decade
A foregone conclusion

City of Decaying Gaze
05:41
|
|||
|
Straight line road lights
Yellow and cold blue ones
Through the splotched glass
From the chamber of hopelessness
Shapely rows of windows torches
Grey and purple layer of clouds
Tor stones of human caves
Thin spires of aspiration
Decaying hollow
Maldorous haze spreads
Black smoke over works
Agonized soul's shrieks
Tightness in the air
And who could weigh the backwash
Hum from the next door room
Interrupted my sleep
Summer breeze strokes my skin
Four years after
I am here again
Bending road yellow lights
Vital alley of breath downstairs
Grey concrete giants
Zigzag ragged hackles of clouds

Nightmare Everlasting
05:44
|
|||
|
I am roaming
Through the pasteboard scenery
I am swallowed
By the depth of obscurity
It doesn't belong to me
Is it someone's sleep?
Sarcastic laughter
Downfall through downfall
Another beginning after awakening
You never can tell
How many dreams are in your dream
Falling down in a space
Then faster and faster
Don't feel anything
And then burst in fire
Utterly
There is no tomorrow
Cause it'll never get here
Waking within the sleep
It is happening again
It comes from nowhere
And reiterates at every night
Does it really belong to me?
Another beginning after the end

Instant
06:09

|
Sweet consternation
Close your eyes and listen to the silence
You could cut it with the knife
To your heart's content
Flash
Extinction
Impatient
Enervation
Vibrant with passion
With bated breath
Turned into stone
Better than pleasure
Stronger than agony
Petrified
Orgasmic
Perception
Power
Temperance in motion
Being unconcerned
What's the difference
Between life and blackness
Another injection
Rolls my tired eyes
Nothing is different
Serpents are on the ceiling

Impasse
05:24
|
|||
|
The body is apart
Wade through the roll of nerves
Seconds of clarity
And longest days of blacking out
Retaliation from the Gods
For the light in the end
Neuroleptic illustrations
Rapid spasms
Sick fancies
Nothing follows
I am in the dead end
I am in the impasse
Pragmatic delusion
Awaiting the accident
Self-flagellation
In a state of neglect
Not so bad and no good
Time is the best medicine
But I would rather live until daybreak
You have saved me trouble
Obsessive recurrence
Nightmare in your waking ours
But dreams go by opposites
You had your innings
Tears stuck in the throat
Voice has left the body
Ashamed of myself
I am doubtful what I ought to do

Karmic Pattern
07:09
|
|||
|
Surrender to the pleasure of mistakes and fall
Realize the ugliness of being unbearable
Confess your strength and worthlessness
Viscous existence in the quagmire of the inevitability
Soar over the world
Find out the cause of all causes
A cosmic glow
Indicate the path
Don`t repress your dream of calming
The lack of blood in the veins
The lack of fire
Maze of mental anguish
Baser passions
Karmic pattern
Crime and Punishment
Limitations and weaknesses
All deeds and actions
Reflected in the impermanence
Nullity or throne,
Poverty or wealth
Generous reward
At the end of the path

Lighthouse
05:45
|
|||
|
Before I knew there is no light
And drown in the waves of the gloom never-ending
Wandered along the freezing corridors
Towards the slow fading
Waiting for the unknown
As into electric wire
Day by day
Futility and idleness
Through the dense mist and deadly waters
Flash of light shine the essence
There is an my own lighthouse
Giving out the bright glow
Saving from the extravagance
Leading to the perfection
Rising to the stars
The curtain drops now
Evening fever begins again
Life smiles and teaches another lesson
Against the grain
I would go to the bank
Avoiding the habitual false
Just to floating adrift
Following my own lighthouse
Through the dense mist and deadly waters
Flash of light shine the essence
That I have an own lighthouse
Giving out the bright glow
Saving from the extravagance
Leading to the perfection
Rising to the stars

Draft Life
05:02
|
|||
|
Through the thicket of mind
Through the black waters (of actuality)
Shift the perception focus
Drown in the internal lie
Do not look back
Burning down this coming
Behind the perishability
On the shortest way
On the strings of illusion
In the taut lines of our lives
Survival of the fittest
Dying with faith in words
Breaking the beautiful
In this crowded world
The body is insane
In the cell of desperation
The soul is flying away
Gathering all that is left
On the strings of illusion
In the taut lines of our lives

supported by 246 fans who also own “Cold Redrafted”
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur
supported by 243 fans who also own “Cold Redrafted”
After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful.

Cinereous Incarnate
by Abstracter
A foreboding black-doom metal dirge, meditating on a dark world caked in ash, resulting from all the Earth’s nuclear arsenal detonating at once.
