Now you learn what you are made of
What grinding hours you may endure
The true depths of your dedication
To purity
Self-negation: the highest ethic
Stone brow and clenched jaw mark the pure of faith
As you bring forth the dream, commit your body
In silence
Now you learn what you are made of
What grinding hours you may endure
The true depths of your dedication
To clarity
Cast away indulgence, all unnecessary things
All compromise that binds you to the veil
Divide the crowds as a stone in a river
Unmoving, smooth, and blank
Surrender yourself to the will that stirs within
Deafen yourself to the noise of temptation
Deny yourself, for there is no self to deny
Complete yourself in oblivion
Mourn not for what is lost in the world without
Where the air itself is rot, it is a triumph to burn
And only sorrows fill the skin that you so long to shed
Now you learn what you are made of
What grinding hours you may endure
The true depths of your dedication
To release
A foreboding black-doom metal dirge, meditating on a dark world caked in ash, resulting from all the Earth’s nuclear arsenal detonating at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 14, 2018
