Ne Obliviscaris - Devour Me, Colossus: Blackholes & Contortions

Lyrics:
---------------
CITADEL, OF HOPE AND WHITE FIRE
HEARKEN, A CHOIR FOR KINGS... TRANSCENDENCE
CROWNED IN TEETH AND SEVERED WINGS
IS THIS THE END OF THE FLESH?
my prison and my salvation
A CALL FROM THE VOID, PALE TENTACLES
ENTHRONED, ALONE, DYING
DOWN WITH MY DRAPED LEECHES... OH LOVER
MELANCHOLIA...
you fill my lungs
am i undone?
where i swallow the light
drown me in your arms, so deep
drown me in your arms
ABYSSAL WYRMWELL
fathomless...
DROWN ME IN YOUR ARMS...
ANATOMY OF SPACE AND TIME
GATHERED IN VEILED DEPTHS... DESCENDANT
ARE THESE GOD'S TEARS IN THIS PITCH BLACK TOMB OR THE PAIN OF MY MEMORIES?
OF ALL SUFFERING, AWAKE ARCHITECTS
THE MOTHER, THE FATHER, THE EYE
TRUMPETS BELLOW, THE RIPPLES TRANSFIGURE
WRETCHED AM I...
white eyes and blue lips, lover
devour me...
drown me in your arms
ABYSSAL WYRMWELL
fathomless...
DROWN ME IN YOUR ARMS...
DROWN ME IN YOUR ARMS
ABYSSAL WYRMWELL
fathomless...
A BURNING GAUNTLET HELD TO HER BREAST
IN HER ARMS THE PHOENIX LAY BLACKENED IN MOURNING
A PURGING OF ASHES DOWN HER HOURGLASS FIGURE
INSCRIBED ON MY HEART, DEVOUR ME, COLOSSUS
scent of the earth
touch of the light
here, where colours collide
this blackhole ignites
my world in bloom
FLESH TO FLOWERS, BLOOD TO RIVERS
MY BREATH TO THE WIND
THE STARS STEAL MY EYES AND THE SUN SEARS MY MIND
THIS BLACKHOLE IGNITES
MY WORLD IN BLOOM
HERE I STAND, CITADEL... HERE I STAND...
HERE WHERE COLOURS COLLIDE
THIS BLACKHOLE IGNITES
MY WORLD IN BLOOM
scent of the earth
touch of the light
here, where colours collide
this blackhole ignites
my world in bloom
my world in bloom
IN BLOOM...

Why am I finding this band now in 2023,it was on my feed, simply wow

[@Duhop0s]

this is criminally underrated music

[@syedamithhashemi409]

The entire album CITADEL is a majestic work of art..and these two songs Blackholes and Contortions are the prodigal holy grails in the entire album...

[@Rassalcon]

I prefer painters of the tempest, but its close. real close

[@TheAskald]

@@Rassalcon I find Devour Me Colossus more cohesive. They got a bit ambitious with Triptych Lux. I mean, I love almost every second of Triptych Lux, but the pieces aren't put together in a natural way for me.​ That said, Painters I and Painters III > Devour II for me.

[@Rassalcon]

@@TheAskald yeah i have since changed my opinion on which is better.

[@garrettMk3]

Triptych lux is my favorite

[@tromboneman4517]

Another reason why Prog Metal is amazing.

[@Zaque-TV]

The outro instrumental is so gorgeous

[@ksims6449]

im gonna get a violin one of these days before i die so metal

[@MT-me7lu]

The amount of gravitas in this song is astounding.

[@tomspicy]

whats a gravita

[@MT-me7lu]

@@tomspicy Gravitas: dignity, seriousness, or solemnity of manner.

[@jae2808]

7:16 I love this. especially the end of the... bridge? i dunno all i know is that i love it

[@user-mz9ig5id3o]

Thats what she said.

[@keimojeppe]

Ive listened all their songs now many many times and i want to declare this my favorite. But dont get me wrong they dont miss with any of their songs. All are way too good! Thank you Alex Hefner for introducing this band to me. Wish i found these guys sooner...

[@kuraWolf6]

Genial

[@ancientgalaxy7697]

0:00 - 15:05 best part

[@fawnrot]

8:56 tho.

[@foxnoop5895]

my heart of a bassist pounded hard

[@marklund117]

7:51 to 8:55 is especially spicy

[@darkrex95]

Still One Dislike

[@antoinejupio1708]

Yeh missclick I guess

[@jerg6195]

Everything is good except the cliche lyrics

[@dergtehdergon9241]

Honestly, I have no idea how in the hell you think these lyrics are cliche. Xenoyr's lyrics are always creative, cryptic, and nothing like most other metal bands I listen to and I listen to a lot.

[@codysam366]

You've been listening to cliche metal bands too much my son..lol These are special.

[@fawnrot]

imagine listening to music for the lyrics.

[@Abstracto107]

@@fawnrot ????? dafuq? One of the reasons I listen to metal is the liyricall base of them and then the musical aesthetic perspective of it, and Ne Obliviscaris has both in a splendid way.
