A deep breath, a heavy sigh. So quickly fades the light.
Consumed by enduring shadow. So dark, the wooded path at night.
A foe without form, without mass.
No throat to which my hands may tightly grasp.
Truth absolute is found in the shadows.
Critical realizations.
The winding path that seems endless, barred by terrible obstacles.
Is littered with ways home.
That path comes to an end the second those looming shadows bear the load.
Numerous moments in a life of distress, carried home.

Into ash and sand, carried by tide to tomb.
Generations casting shadows on ancient works long since undone.
Not one shining star, nor beacon in the endless night.
Any semblance of light cast out, cast down.
Towers constructed on mounds of sand.
Monuments raised on un-truths.
All in ruins.

Immersed in the soil,
Rooting through the sinew of the Earth.
Searching for something true.
Dig deeper.
Until you can grasp the still beating heart of this world.
Dig deeper.
Consume each and every last piece.
Become the truth you seek.
Written in the natural world.
Born of reason, born of filth.
Become truth.
Dig deeper.

An eternal spring of hopeless grief surges.
Floods the surface of my conscious being.
In this barren land it appears the one relief.
Although it's from a place where nothing nourishes.
Haunted by ghosts of lives passed by.
Every tower of hope, crumbling.
Every field of love, withering.
What fruit not spoiled by spite remains?
What love destroyed by undue wrath?
After decades have passed,
By this foul water sustained.
The harm, irreversible.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

A ferocious display of blackened stoner-doom from Moscow's Moanhand, who offsets moments of bleak ugliness with clean, haunting melody.

The album that made me a true YOBian, after sleeping on them for too long. They set my blood on fire and stir up the sleeper in me, what more can I say? Thank you, YOB.
