lyrics
Remnants of sybaritic desolation
surrounding the last witnesses
of humanity's self-immolation
as it lies in its lurid repose
pallid and gaunt, they sift through the ashes
vainly seeking some fragment of guidance
instincts have failed to sustain
they wander with no providence of meaning
Frail, derelict figures, knives long discarded
dead eyes beyond hope, dead mouths beyond prayer
one by one casting down
the crown of life that burdens them
their paths diverge in all directions
yet they tread inexorably
to a desolate, nameless
eternal communal grave
No conflict, no heroes
No lessons learned from times of trial
No cruel fate to betray them
No truth behind the hangman's smile
This silence is their just reward
No sins, no virtues
No breath of life to sour the air
No genesis or revelation
No epitaph to mark their graves
This is the way their story ends

Music & Lyrics: R. M. Temin
The riffing style of Azarath with the compositional fortitude of The Chasm. The number of bands worthy of being called 'epic death metal' is in the single digits, but this is absolutely one of them. Zealotry
supported by 144 fans who also own “Avatars of Contempt, pt. III”
This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
