lyrics

Her fictitious eyes were lit by the moon of an almost fictitious sky
I thought I smelled her fragrance through the sea salt breeze
We danced at midnight truly oblivious to the peril around us
We danced, the boards creaked and bottles rolled back and forth

Bound to a vessel, in spirit, the ship's a part of me
Bound to a life at sea when I left and neglected royalty
Innocence was gone... it left the moment the plague entered
Inside our home and took you... our love splintered
Derelict now, I have become one with the seven

My ship was true and my crew was dead, they lay all about the deck
Famine had taken them and taken me, yet I still breathe life
A deal with the devil has saved me thus far, but into the maelstrom we sail
Me and my love reunited again in this final dance of death

Deep in the maelstrom we go, into this black abyss below
Only I know how deep it goes and what awaits at the bottom
We dance to the thunder in childish delight and stare up above at the lightning
When it lights the seraphim are visible, staring sadly above

I cursed my men and I cursed my own soul for one last infernal dance
Back from death she was brought for a midnight meeting
Dance we shall, until the bottom, with skeletons watching around
Until flames pick our flesh and rum bottles roll to and fro

O’ Death has come back to find me again
The sea swallows me down with my men
And if I should fall to my doom on this night
I’ll know it was worth everything for the
Sight of her face staring at me, reunited, reliving dreams
With the wind in my sails, carrying me to a place of infinite seas

I never got a chance to say goodbye to her
I knew I’d see her again in this life or the next
God would never ever stop me on my quest

O’ Death has come back to find me again
The sea swallows me down with my men
And if I should fall to my doom on this night
I’ll know it was worth everything for the
Sight of her face staring at me, reunited, reliving dreams
With the wind in my sails, carrying me to a place of infinite seas

I know I'll see her again in this life or the next
This tempest will not founder me; it guides me towards my end
To the gates of Hell and back I’ll sail to be with her again

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228

I really cant pick a favorite track, this whole album kicks so much ass with its intensity and ferocity from beginning to end. Definitely a new favorite artist. Really gives off Necrophobic vibes with the melodies and atmosphere. Andrés Salas

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
