LYRICS
- -
Becoming immortal is a cursed crusade,
A nemesis, leading to the blade.
The white citadel, they will have to find,
They need more than a lifetime not lose their minds.
Becoming immortal is a cursed crusade,
Only a fool could try it,
Voiceless and blind in the void !
Only a fool could fight it,
Surrounded by the eternal stars !
Only a fool could still believe it.
All life will fall and rise,
N I
Somewhere in the vastness they’ll shine,
M H
*
In search of a new world,
In search of a new world,
The ship has been traveling for hundreds of years,
Carrying away the corruptible hearts of men,
The corruptible hearts of men,
Animated by avenging faith,
Leading them to the gates of madness and despair,
Where only destruction reigns.
For every star in the sky,
A human dream has faded,
As bright as these celestial lights are,
Darkness envelops the world.
For every dream that has faded,
A fire is lit in our hearts,
We’ll carry these dreams beyond,
And beg forgiveness to our mother !
Mother !
*
On their knees they keep crawling,
Fleeing chaos they have started.
It’s an endless burden,
I’ll take it for you,
The consequence of our lifetime.
Becoming immortal is a cursed crusade,
A nemesis, leading to the blade.
The white citadel will never be find,
The NIMH is a grave for the mind.

I dream of 3 things at night: 1) A 4 hours long Hyperion movie 2) made by Villeneuve 3) with Slift as the original soundtrack

[@NorthWoodsWalks]

Hyperion, as in Dan Simmons?

[@jereuter01]

@@NorthWoodsWalks I'd say yes. Cool to stumble across someone else who knows the book and author. I'm 73 and read Simmons decades ago. For escape from pressures and in retirement now I'm just about done reading an old favorite called "The Mote in God's Eye" by American writers Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, first published in 1974. I had forgotten it but a Bible passage triggered the memory. Not sure how I feel yet about this long-awaited album by SLIFT. I like everything they have done since they came on the scene. Their sound and beat is very unique for the times and somewhat in a genre of their own making.

[@NorthWoodsWalks]

@jereuter01 I actually read Mote, and if I recall, its sequel

[@DudeWatIsThis]

Forget it. They will fill it with giant monsters and explosions, like they did with the Foundation series.

[@melthed4306]

Oh, hell yes.

[@Zavyyn]

I liked the part where music was playing.

[@alessandroruffini1140]

This album is awesome!!! Greetings from Italy

[@Sam-rf8yh]

IMO, Slift is the most inventive, talented, important band making hard rock music today Absolutely incredible.

[@licandres01]

I second this

[@deerseaheraklorne6140]

I’m gonna also back this. Yep to all of it

[@maciekszukaa2688]

umm, they are amazing, but there are many bands alike, making something new and bringing new light to rocknroll

[@Admiral_Bongo]

First time I hear somebody fusing stoner doom and mathcore like this. As if Monolord and Converge had a baby.

[@brianwebb6794]

Rocks. Been waiting since KEXP for the official version.

[@SKi4o5]

Blows my fucking mind the atmospheric scale just 3 dudes can make.

[@paveldubrovsky7866]

Mass effect & Prometheus vibe. Merci guys.

[@WalterSobchak1000]

Another visual/audio masterpiece from SLIFT, Dimitri, Guthio & Alexis 🔥

[@Guthio]

🙏

[@Killkillkilldiediedie]

God damn right.

[@Wasyashock]

just randomly stumbled upon this and... oh wow

[@dale8809]

This band is what is right about alot of newer artists. Freaking awesome.

[@jonreid1632]

I just heard the levitation sessions by Slift and bought a vinyl copy, I love it more each time I hear it.

[@dale8809]

@@jonreid1632 for sure. It is so freaking good

[@jonreid1632]

@@dale8809 Now I just ordered Ilion, I cant wait to get it.

[@theyoungone8872]

This band just keeps getting better...

[@aydenneovak9240]

This is incredible... Much love from the US, I can't wait for more!

[@Dalimagnus]

I very much dig how heavy and dark this shit goes. Respect. I’m watching you Slift!

[@dikbozo]

Good to see young players like these dragging the power trio back into the spotlight. Hard rock is in good hands.

[@pateraz9728]

INCOMPARABLE , MAGISTRALE ,

[@KOSmusic46]

Waw! Chef d'oeuvre audiovisuel. Plus que jamais vous êtes chauds! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@explodingpancakeofawesomen8594]

ILION is shaping up to be better than UMMON, which is honestly insane to think about

[@ThomWinters]

Make an embroidered patch for your merch. Hell, even a screen-printed one. I want to rep SLIFT!\

[@AmazingAaxor]

Yes!!!! So good!

[@Jimbojoebob]

Awesome guys! Merci!

[@MrRungi]

I thought this was going to end at 6:20. Boy was i glad to be mistaken! Love seeing Citadel on a Satellite recurring theme. This song definitely tells a story. Love the sound textures! The visuals. Great job by production. Fantastic! ❤❤❤

[@omornomusic]

Heck yes.

Mesmerizing

[@davidfromearth1102]

The guy who created the visuals deserves a beer. They’re fantastic, fit well with that incredible song

[@DTC1138]

Bit of Moebius, bit of Giger. And at the same time has its own cosmic thing going. Love it.
