LYRICS
(It’s not the dying that hurts. It’s the waiting to die)
Crippled existence.
Fire fueled with gasoline.
Life is beautiful, the world is pristine.
We have been bound unseen.
The walls of existence remain unclean.
No solace, no safety. Remain calm; we lack serenity.
No burn. We all slowly decay.
The final sores have opened. Weeping wounds.
It’s worse than we were hoping. Seeking doom.
We built a dungeon but we locked ourselves in.
Now we are the monsters dripping with sin.
Slow decay of reality.
Left floating somewhere God will never find.
(In the beginning it is always dark)
Gravity takes over and we fall. May God have mercy on us all.

New acacia strain during an actual pandemic...I have no words.

This song slams 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@s0urp0wer5]

They've been ready for this their whole career

[@INMATE_0801]

This song is one of my favourite releases in a very long time. I've honestly never really given TAS a decent go as much as I like their music, but man, this is fucking beautiful. To see these boys progress like this after all these years shows how amazing they really are.

[@Metal.mike89]

[@JasonsSongStop]

[@Soulwell90]

This is amazing

[@metalahhhhhhhhhhhh]

Their breakdowns have become so menacing and heavy they're bordering on doom metal now

[@chriswu772]

A lot of their later material have a good amount of doom metal in them - in fact, It Comes In Waves was a bonafide post-metal album!

[@johnhammer6370]

Failure will follow is a doom metal project in my opinion, released alongside step into the light

[@heatfan527]

We're all doomed...

[@Metalheadmike1211]

This track just kept getting better and better

[@meh...4966]

Solace and Serenity: “Left floating somewhere god will never find” Only: “Frozen and floating, left somewhere god would never find” I’m eager to see the allusions and patterns on this album in reference to It Comes In Waves

[@xderelictx]

The end part is by far the heaviest moment any metal song I’ve ever heard. Double drop F I think

[@g6pdthai]

Solace is a strange name for a child.

[@fernpark8880]

Love the "Suffocation" vocals at the end

[@peterolson2407]

I just realized that at the very end you can hear Yogg-Saron from World of Warcraft say, "I am the lucid dream." Absolutely perfect.

Ohhh now I get it. There will be 3 more EPs after this, called C, A and Y and that will be the full length album “Decay” Update: Decay is in fact the word, not Death

[@mariogarofano9926]

interesting

[@sacredcow61]

im stoned AF explain sir

[@MasonzeroDigitalWorks]

They did say "DECAY" in this song's lyrics so that would be my guess.

the album artwork for the two slowly transition into decay so my guess is that one.

I just hope the entire album/ep is released on CD as well

[@MarioGarcia-vz6gd]

It probably will, for now it’s just really good marketing releasing it piece by piece

[@trippybruh1592]

Mario Garcia I really dig it. The fact they released It Comes In Waves a few months ago and now more new music? TAC must really love us or something.

That fucking ending!

[@NathanWisdom]

Man, what is up with this guitar tone?! Its sicknasty, it has this very...metallic quality to it How would go about getting a similar sound? I know the octaves they're playing or octaver they're using adds to the effect but..I'm curious.. as Hank Hill once said "Oh God it's so juicy!"
