Crestfallen husks, their withered limbs clamour for the sun
Each one benighted, but though their acts they’ve come undone
In the last they faltered, lacking the strength to see it though
Minds flayed by crystal dreams,
On shattered shards,
Choke remnants of your screams
With every last word you breathe betrayal
Every step you take, only leads the frail
Every bond you break, every deal you make, it’s just a matter of time
Eventually, in solitude, your mind will break, your soul subdued
See a future, that condemns your past,
Every wave that comes will crash harder than the last.
Live out your lies, you try to justify, the hole you dig only deepens
As your empire slowly crumbles, the glass castles you’ve built,
They’re just a pen to herd your sheep
Into the darkest void, a snakes hareem of virtue
You will wait with silver coin in palm, but there’s no ferry man who’ll take you
With every last word you breathe betrayal
Every step you take, only leads the frail
Every bond you break, every deal you make, it’s just a matter of time
Eventually, in solitude, your soul will break, your mind subdued
See a future, that condemns your past,
As every wave that comes will crash harder than the last.
The project of singer and multi-instrumentalist Marz Rieste explores dark fantasy themes through menacing, doomy black metal.
