lyrics

We’ll be undone by the Old Blood,
Just like the provost had promised us.
A curse taints us and all we touch,
Is this our penance for finding God?

The moon beckons, sinister veil lifted,
Was the old Spider finally found?
Now, behold! A Paleblood sky!
Find a newborn and silence its cry.

STEP OUT FROM THE SHADOWS!
Howling fills these streets!
QUICKSILVER AND BLOOD VIALS!
A hunter of beasts!

To escape this dreadful Hunter’s Dream,
Halt the source of the spreading scourge of beasts,
Lest the night carry on forever.
Oneirophobic and trapped in this labyrinth,
A cosmic truth that we dare not interpret,
So line our minds with eyes on the inside!

A plain doll made in mania,
Was it love or obsession?
Only an honest death can cure you now,
And set you free from this prison.

Serrated weapons and runic invocations,
Inscribe the voice of the Formless One.
Amygdala! Where are you taking us?
The Nightmare has swallowed us whole!

STEP OUT FROM THE SHADOWS!
Howling fills these streets!
QUICKSILVER AND BLOOD VIALS!
A hunter of beasts!

To escape this dreadful Hunter’s Dream,
Halt the source of the spreading scourge of beasts,
Lest the night carry on forever.
Oneirophobic and trapped in this labyrinth,
A cosmic truth that we dare not interpret,
So line our minds with eyes on the inside!

To escape this dreadful Hunter’s Dream,
Halt the source of the spreading scourge of beasts,
Lest the night carry on forever.
Evolution without courage,
The ruin of us and our resurgence.
Are we left no choice than to burn it to cinders?

Clockwork

Clockwork and A Never-Ending Cycle of Atonement are my favorite Inanimate Existence offerings... From what I can tell though, The Masquerade is going to be where they transcend and soar to new heights. DOOM

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723
