lyrics

I lost the silence
Opened the void.
The toil of man;
a boulder and hill.

Labor under the sun
convinced of an answer.
Devoid of meaning,
in need of feeding.
Looking in the reflection
without inflection.
The blankest stare
looking back at you.
Looking in the reflection
without inflection.
The blankest stare
looking back at you.

Looking back at me.
what do you see?
what do I see?
A window of perception.

Which one is true,
a meaning or nothing?
I’ve lost the silence
and found the absurd.

Look back at the stars
and what do I see?
A world passed me by
and nothing to hold.

Lost in the absurd,
I find no release.
I find no reprieve.
No hold onto me.

Lost in my mind.
Locked in this room.
the demons they come
and gather around me.

Was it all a dream?
A dream I had,
where I was a man.
Where I felt alive.

All I’ve ever known.
All I ever did love.
Exists inside me.
Inside this room.

There is freedom
in losing hope.
There is freedom
in knowing yourself.
In knowing yourself.
There is freedom in knowing yourself.

Looking back at me,
what do you see?
What do I see?
A window of perception.

Take back this life, it was yours to keep.
Take back this world, only you knew it.

Echoes of the Moon recommends:

Phobos Monolith
by Mare Cognitum

Great atmospheric black metal record from Mare Cognitum Echoes of the Moon
go to album
The Ape Of God
by Old Man Gloom

The second part of Old Man Gloom's "Ape of God." It features longer atmospheric sludge metal songs that leave you with chills. I recommend all of their work as well. Echoes of the Moon
go to album
The Gorgon Tongue: Impale Golden Horn + Forbidden Planet
by Horseback

Awesome experimental album by Horseback. If you like long ambient/drone pieces that are very layered and detailed, this is one of the best I have heard. Very different from Horseback's other releases Echoes of the Moon
go to album

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
