LYRICS:
Lucid: at the edge of the sky. The blood moon calls to me, as the sun burns out its light.
Numina: hold my hands, whilst I dance with entropy. I can’t bear to feel your sultry grip slip away from me
Please don’t let go, don’t let me fall - Into the darkness - Into the angst and woe.
“Breathe,” she says “Breath in the night...”
“The cold air will open your eyes, to the other side - The other side of the divine”
“Bliss will not escort you through this forlorn abyss - but wisdom and perception will greet you at the rift”
“Heed these words, for once you flourish they will not last - There’s only so much sand in an hourglass”
“Once you make the fall, all light will disappear. This darkness will entomb you - you’ll find love with Achlyss”
This darkness will entomb you - you’ll find love...
Spiraling...
Endlessly...
Is this what it takes for our selves to be free?
If I give in, to everything - will I be one with the mantra within?
To kiss the lips of melancholy - To hold hands with the mist of grief. The echoes of the ancient ones, bid me to dance with death.
Everything I loved was merely the shadow of youth.
My souls voice calls out to Shiva - present to me your eternal mantra.
Om Namah Shivaya.

The ending part singing was so unique and cool sounding. Very talented vocalist

[@JensRoelant]

Probably one of the best vocalists out there atm. Absolute unique voice. More of this please.

[@Treisk]

Holy shit. The sheer breadth of techniques that get nailed in this is insane. And, finally, a band with a dope vocalist does vocal playthroughs. Fuck yeah.

[@crb6852]

[@djabthrash]

The screams remind me a lot of Spencer Sotelo from Periphery. The singing with distortion and cleans are great too, and remind me of the second TEXTURES singer in some ways. Great job. Cheers from the /r/ screaming Discord server :)

[@oliverclrrk]

LUVELY

[@leapsandbounds01]

Quality!!!

[@MarkLePage]

So, instrumental edition of “The Lotus Chapters” would be so sick. Obviously Jacob’s voice is incredible, and this raw performance is just as incredible, but your music lends itself to an instrumental release, I feel!

[@marcusfigueroa1365]

Getting released this Friday
