LYRICS:
Follow me to Alshain toward a fiery grave
We have spun a web of worlds, spinning out of control
I crossed the other side
But I was brought back
The air sucked from my lungs
My hull was cracked
The dust sifted in
Like an hourglass
It sealed my ship
And I was in tact
Hourglass between worlds
Emptiness on the side that employs
The upper hand
Recharging the void
Each half of the cosmic breath
Moved by a void
With our lungs at capacity
Recharging the void
Follow me to Alshain toward a fiery grave
We have spun a web of worlds, spinning out of control
We’ve lived beyond our years
And now we hear our calling
We’ve outlived our pillars falling, falling
I must return to Alshain
To release our clutch
Terminal redux
Like our star at its end
Time will warp in the space we bend
As we burst to our stellar tomb
Its planets will be consumed
Hourglass between worlds
Emptiness on the side that employs
The upper hand
Recharging the void
Each half of the cosmic breath
Moved by a void
With our lungs at capacity
Recharging the void
All the things we’ve destroyed
But there is one thing left: bring balance through our death
The Cygnus tide can be restored
To a cosmic state
Before man perverted it
Before we staked our claim
Ultimate sacrifice
To revive the flux
Turning back, a shrinking world
Too small for us (x2)
Illuminate what remains
From a time when all sanctions were hallowed
And our freedoms sucked straight from our marrow
To bleed after refrain
All we knew was the suffering
Away, all of the shame and the sorrow
Only hoping for endless tomorrows
We look to cold, shimmering skies
Feel the light passing by
There’s no light that reflects from our gallows
Planets stricken to live in the shadows
Of cold, shimmering skies
All we ask is our story be told
To young, beckoning, yearning worlds
Who are struggling to be as one
We are the light from a dying sun
In darkness we will remain
Feel the light piercing your eyes
Open the skies to the Cygnus tide
Countdown to the end
The Terminal descends
Into Alshain’s cloud
To be kept under shroud
Rulers of life
We’ve seen the limits of our minds
Our foresight is blinded by our bias
To which we cannot hide
Cygnus is calling (Sung in unison) Bound to our graves
The pillars are falling (x6)… In stellar remains (x6)
Cygnus is calling
From beyond the grave
It rises once again
With balance staved we make amends
A ruler without plots or schemes
Of cosmic law, we could only dream
I heed the Cygnus call
A symbol for life and death’s resolve
Our fate implodes upon our crux
The Terminal is set to self-destruct
Relic Alshain
Oh Shahin-i-tarazu
I return my flesh to you

[@Alfred_English]

[@xxczerxx]

This must be terrifying to other metal bands that thought they were pushing the boundaries. This is on another level. The tension, the build up, the general songwriting and how you reprise Charging the Void's theme but with little embellishments and inflections.... and that fucking spine tingling climax, best metal moment in years. Amazing!

[@Syklonus]

Well, not really. It's all subjective and it depends what you mean by "pushing the boundaries". In a technical sense then I wholeheartedly agree. They're amazing, and their blend of thrash and black metal is really one of the most acerbic things I've ever heard. However, technical ability isn't everything. To be that technical and that progressive there has to be a sacrifice of basic repetitious hooks and overall catchiness, and believe it or not, being mega technical isn't universally appealing. Some folk just like a good riff and a straight beat, but bands like Vektor and Absu don't tend to stay on the same section or riff for very long. I'm a fan of both and I do love Vektor, but I can totally see why some people don't. At the end of the day there is no best, there is only favourite.

[@Moneyman-33]

Syklone There may not be a best but there is objectively better or objectively more talented. And it’s annoying when people don’t acknowledge this.

[@danielsanguino7856]

yeah like Zenith (Enforcer)... lmao

[@lashedandscorned]

try Obscura, or Beyond Creation

[@scyphe]

This gives me absolutely nothing. It's like a thrashy version of Dragonforce with Dani Filth on vocals. There's no groove or emotion, just quantize-precision riffs that are more than just similar to the riffs from a hundred previous thrash metal bands. The only difference is the technical aspects of the rhythms and faux-progressive metal elements. But that's just my personal and very subjective opinion (it's hard to impress someone who's been listening to Opeth since 1996).

8:01 is probably the best part of the entire album. The low croaking raspiness of how the line is delivered, separate from the rest of the sung lines in the track; 'In darkness we will remain' opening into one of the most beautiful combinations of clean guitar and heavenly backing vocals. I've literally replayed this part dozens of times, and every time it gives me chills. That and the chorus at 11:17

Yeah this is definitely one of the peak moments on the album. Also the harmonies at 3:25 - 3:35 and 10:47 - 11:00, and that slow emotional part near the end of Cygnus Terminal. Cygnus Terminal and Recharging the Void are really the 2 songs that stand slightly above the rest.

[@TelomereBiologyNerd]

patfix yes

[@637o7]

L E E T

[@brycebarretto4287]

So is deliverance by opeth 😂

[@alkesztsuby3411]

Nerd.

[@DamienArnould]

8:03 what a wonderful transition

[@simonegallo874]

8:04 to end : for sure the best music sequence you will ever hear in your life. Mystic experience

[@Daniel-mn4fu]

Try Jumalten Kaupunki

[@catrichbillay1506]

Enjoyed it from beginning to end. The entire album, that is.

[@olemikole1997]

WOW!!!

[@SaturnineXTS]

This is what makes a classic album, something that most bands forget or are incapable of delivering: dynamics, climaxes, the ability to evoke emotion and move the listener. Of course the fact that Vektor are as technical as they are doesn't hurt either, but the things I mentioned can and are being successfully achieved even by some bands that are not this technical

[@cri774]

Mindblowing masterpiece, I bought the album straightaway.

[@virtueofsunlight1342]

man, when i worked my way trough tis album... i felt like i was reading the most epic sci fi story ever! and just as with a good book, it left a hole in me when i was finished.

[@nutrientek3243]

I've never heard or heard of Vektor before. That kicked ass.

[@omarha7578]

everything from 11:55 on is some of the best music i have ever heard

[@Naveronasis]

This song is so good if Vektor never gets back together or produces another album as a swan song it's 100/10.

[@DasSuper]

Fuck I binged hard on this album this weekend.

[@LuisGutierrezG123]

13:13 that's the opening of "Outer Isolation"

[@UberRoboCorn]

+Luis Gutiérrez It's also played in reverse at the beginning of Charging the Void so it serves not only as a callback but also as a subtle audio bookend to the entire album.

[@thwartificer]

4:09 is a killer riff

[@macedamiachocolate]

I didn't want the song to end.

[@raspy_on_osu]

i never really liked any metal songs but holy shit ive been obsessed with this for a week now

[@joshuaortmeyer291]

Well,beginning metal with Vektor,it's a first

[@theborealist4454]

The Pink Floyd influence at 6:19 is sublime, a perfect pre-ending, with this lyrics: "Illuminate what remains From a time when all sanctions were hallowed And our freedoms sucked straight from our marrow To bleed after refrain All we knew was the suffering Away, all of the shame and the sorrow Only hoping for endless tomorrows We look to cold, shimmering skies Feel the light passing by There's no light that reflects from our gallows Planets stricken to live in the shadows Of cold, shimmering skies All we ask is our story be told To young, beckoning, yearning worlds Who are struggling to be as one We are the light from a dying sun In darkness we will remain"

[@joansano8322]

Indeed "On The Turning Away" of Pink Floyd 🤘☺

[@DarksideOFcollages]

On the turning away!!!!!😲👍

[@DarksideOFcollages]

Joan te la comiste!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@JTNugget]

You say influence, I say ripped off.

[@coreycrossman3447]

@@JTNugget its only a rip off if tye band doesn't acknowledge it I wonder if they do

[@actuallyasriel]

THRASH METAL! IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

[@hinmo245]

4:55 to 5:41 amazing riff

[@BDaMonkey]

Is this the best song Vektor have put out yet? I think it might be up there. Need more time for the entire album to sink in. Cheers Vektor and Earache!

[@BDaMonkey]

Yeah. It is!

[@PsyloActiv]

Last crazy feelings I had listening a metal album were with Dissection and nothing else. Very good job Vektor

[@JelmervanderZaagGuitarCovers]

This song is one hell of a journey..absolutely stunning

[@Releets]

What a journey this album was! A fantastic ending to a fantastic album, they ascended to a whole new level with this.

[@HGXAF]

Vektor is the best thrash metal band ever rip vektor

[@fabiodewitt9140]

This is it guys,probably the best Thrash Metal album.

[@IrrelevantPlease]

Fabio Dewitt it's all downhill from here.

[@heavyload75]

Relic Alshain Oh Shahiiiin-i-tarazuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I return my flesh to youuuuuuuuuuuu

[@eliv370]

This has to be one of the best Metal songs of all Time, I haven't been able put this album down since it was released.

[@magnuslikestanks6044]

My second favorite metal album ever probably

[@Mikeanglo]

You can't just leave a comment like that and not tell us what the first is, damnit!

[@AeonsONE]

@@Mikeanglo what an asshole he never replied

[@brujo1641]

So many different things in 15 minutes.. Amazing

[@BittersweetDuality]

Someone other than me must have noticed this in the 5 years as of this comment that this has been out, but I haven’t seen anyone else mention it: 9:02 in this song is a callback to 2:49 in Cygnus Terminal

[@menelik6635]

I don't even normally listen to metal but I love this

[@legatrix]

This song is so good that it's one of those songs people actually comment about, instead of telling you what band you should be listening to instead.

[@ISRAKA75]

The all LP is a fucking masterpiece. Greetings from Spain. Hope you guys come around here soon.
