lyrics

Gnaw at flesh
Writhe in pain
Don't forget the origin
Down inside
That anxious mind
Something was made forbidden
Stand outside
Oversee
Other numbness can set you free
Life is reborn
Abundant and nullified

Gnaw at flesh
Writhe in pain
Don't forget the origin
Down inside
That anxious mind
Something was made forbidden
Stand outside
Oversee
Other numbness can set you free
Life is reborn
Abundant and nullified

Where is the freedom promised me?
In that place that wants me cold

I question my right
I question the gifts given to me
I question the pride
Taken in giving those gifts to me
I question the time
The time you were so kind to me
Question those in their prime
And you will find the one indifferent
Savage

Climb mountains to climb back down
Find the one on the ground to laugh out loud
Hear your voice, contemplate, and regret
The times when silence was ideal
You couldn't force yourself to feel
Predator and an unseen meal
Just begging to be hungry

Then a troublesome thing called consciousness
Develops, integrates, and defeats
Instincts that could be useful
To minds that are far from youthful
Reality should be brutal
So it can be kind

All cycles grow old
It's how they begin
All cycles grow old
Regressive again

All cycles grow old
It's how they begin
All cycles grow old
Regressive again
Eat more than the tail
Move up to the head
All cycles grow old
Self-defeat again

Self-defeat again

Gnaw at flesh
Writhe in pain
Don't forget the origin
Down inside
That anxious mind
Something was made forbidden
Stand outside
Oversee
Other numbness can set you free
Life is reborn
Abundant and nullified

Gnaw at flesh
Writhe in pain
Don't forget the origin
Down inside
That anxious mind
Something was made forbidden
Stand outside
Oversee
Other numbness can set you free
Life is reborn
Abundant and nullified

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
