The fifth track off of the debut EP Toward the Empyrean from the Rochester, MN melodic progressive doom band Adora Vivos. • Download your copy of this song at https://adoravivos.bandcamp.com/. • Lyrics - • As silence falls the cadence fades • Words so vile escape on wings born of tongues • Infecting the mind of the shattered soul • Evoking the frailty of ignorance • Setting ablaze the serenity unspoken word • Had long entombed in silent litany • A facade of calm amidst the agony • Spiraling back to the start of this depravity • To rest in the solace, the arms of despair • Amidst the idle agreement of false peace • Or face the flames of adversity • To accept the wisdom of scathing tongues • For am I failure, the collapsing icon of loss • For am I one with the bleak aethyr of nothingness • Facile to yield to despair, the arms of tragedy • Yet to what end shall I resign to agony • And with every step I take • Forsaking the path of a life forlorn • Ascending the torment of the mind • Forging onward toward the Empyrean • Shadows of a past life • Drenched in black aethyr • Frozen in this coldness • The strength to conquer my despair • Flames of hatred rising • Awakens the struggle to survive • The will to recreate life • The lure of nihilism endures • In this moment, the failure of life and desire must be cast aside • Exhausted, the final escape, this shell must depart in the flames of resurrection • To the iron grip of solitude, I succumb, suffocate and thus transcend • And wrest vitality from the cold hand of the dying soul • Resolve to defy the chaos within • The frail ideologies of this world • For the mind is one's own, I am subject to none • Save for those inflicted upon myself • For every memory consumed in flame • For every moment of life's past, inhumed in dusk • These ashen remains, I cast unto the wind • Resolve to embrace the fear and rise again • And with every step I take • Forsaking the path of a life forlorn • Ascending the torment of the mind • Forging onward toward the Empyrean • Imposing walls within the mind, dull and glazed were these lightless, apathetic eyes • Weathered by the shame of this unending storm, I lit the flames of hate just to feel alive again • For shall I bend to another's will, embrace the fate given me? • Or hold their lives in a steadfast grasp, rise from these ashes and erase all despair • Lost was I upon this path of negativity • An awakening of the soul, from death to life again • A promise of a new beginning, and to transcend • Through dark and light I walked these roads and found serenity • And a peace that no one truly knows • Acceptance and negation of this mortal coil
