The Pursuing Darkness

Watching dark skies
Safe in pale light
It gathers by my side
Let us all hide
Primal shadow seeps through the cracks,
Shapes it’s name and gathers a bane scream
Lurks in our minds, seeking our demise
And I go, give it space and time
Close my eyes to resist it’s gaze
Could I, should I, with you?
Close my eyes to resist it’s gaze
Growing dark kept outside of view
O the light my place to lay
O sleep in light repel my shades away
On my own
Dare to deny and my reign will summon in you
Chased my whole life flee my fate
The pursing darkness
The pursuing darkness
To come for you all

We’re on our high
Complacent grins in rotten skin
Ignorant high
Reality, my grip inside falls
This idle putrefy holds me to the earth
Beast’s eyes recognise, it pulls itself towards me
Sin’s eye is upon me
The line that keeps divide is all but saving
I sink
Nothing keeps the dark at bay
Faces rotting
Pigment’s fading
O it’s my own fate I see falling away
O it’s my own fate
Nothing could free me now, it’s overcoming
My spirit’s prey!
My spirit’s prey!
Nothing could free me now it’s overcoming
Nothing could free me now
Crawl through dimension I call your name
Crawl through dimension I call your name

Possession

Dissolve the space between the walls
Offer the flesh, release control
A cleansing fire will burn away
Relieving pain and fear with grey
Speak the name, the colours all start to fade I seal my fate
take the colours the deal I’ve made I seal my fate
(We’re in a conjured union)
Dissolve the space between the walls
Offer the flesh, release control
Descend the void, adorn the chains
Take what’s inside I want to be no more
Slake it’s desire
In hopes of gaining evermore
Take what’s inside I want to be no more
O it’s desire
Hopes of gaining evermore
Taken inside I want to be once more
Union of fire
and ultimately end of all
Taken inside I want to be once more
Union of fire
And ultimately end of all
Seep in me, wield mine
Seep in me
Behold my demon’s crown
And suddenly the space is taut around
Behold my demon’s crown
inside of me is our enemy
Madness awake
Your weakness is mine to take
Madness awake
Possession
Permeate. Penetrate. Saturate

Domination
07:04
|
|
||
|
We fly above the earth of fools and filth
Pity you
Mere sight brings a flame to my disdain
Once you’ve bonded with mine
Submit to this domination
In this prime I’ll twist and distort thee
I’m dancing with you all day
I’m weaving through it all
Pain
Suffer
You’ll find that there’s more that I will take
Hail, Proud divine, praise to my sin
Once more I surge with immolation
Now I see how my end plays out
Divine Domination
Hail, proud divine, praise to mine, Sin
(Fall and hail, my proud divine, praise to mine)
All despair, feed desire and suffering
It’s who we are
It’s who we are

Ghost

Am I there?
It’s in the tree’s eye
And I can’t see
It’s in the trees
I burn
In limbo
I glide
In roots and mire
I hide
Between the trees
I yearn
Where are they? I roam
Tonight calls on me
Moonlight falls on me

Over the Dunes

|
|

|
Behold me
Pray for all to see
Transcend this
Human body
Desert sky
Sand beneath my feet
I sever now
This human body
Infinite me
Over the dunes
Over the dunes
I’ll chase you back home

The Spiritual Beast

It’s here
We find ourselves again
Haunt
Slake
Hate
Desire
Oppose
Anger
Fear
Redefine this mind I shape inside
This bind intoxicates
It’s time now destroy this abstraction
I pull my every thread
Cut me down and sever this grace
Cast out my head
(I’ll call your name again)
Redefine this mind I save

The Demon's Name is Mine

Two sides
Two sides of me
Running from regret
Running from regret
I realise this circle
I realise this circle
The demon’s name is mine
Running from regret
Running from regret
I can’t drive this pain out
I can’t drive this pain out
the demon’s place is mine
O, all my pain was free of change
On my way, bare
Illuminate, resonate
Shed my ways bare
Find my way free of pain
On my way, bare
Illuminate, resonate
Shed my ways bare

Contended Heart
02:37
|
|
||
|
If I’ve gone beyond me
I’m lost beyond the trees
If I fall holding my head
Find home among me
(Find me among the dead)
Once I leave all behind me
You’ll find home among me
Free inside
See my heart
Pain leaves no wake
Limits far and wide
Blurring away

Fire, Flesh, Sand & Self
08:16
|
|
||
|
Night’s shade unwinds
Drawing a line
Crossing alone
Journey unknown
The dawn’s rays arrive
I stand in golden centre
My open eyes
Embrace
Assimilate me with the light!
Assimilate me with the light!
My reign, gone! We’re forever merging
Devour me!
Complete the circle!
Suddenly
It takes me
Fire, flesh, sand, self has
Departed me
Don’t look back
Allay the beast
Suddenly

It All Began With Loneliness
by The Anchoret
supported by 7 fans who also own “The Spiritual Beast”
One of my favorite Progressive albums of the year by far. It has the appropiate mix of mistery, complexity and surprise I expect of this kind of albums. With some gospel, saxo and flute passages giving a theatrical touch. Fantastic.
