lyrics

Burial at sea
As hubris melts my golden wings
And panic races through me
Frantic, what can I do (what can I do)

Couldn’t heed the mentor’s words
Now I’ll get what I always deserved
His wisdom’s fallen through (I’m falling through)

In gravity’s throes, I’ll find my death

Oh god what have I done
From mercy I’m stricken
A lesson taught is learned
The sirens now call to Icarus and the fall

How much time has passed
Since freedom was within my grasp
Now I embody arrogance
Bound in my misery (my misery)

Who will tell my tragic story
Will my song be sung in the halls of glory
Will they remember me (remember me)

The surface now grows, I hold my breath

Oh god what have I done
From mercy I’m stricken
A lesson taught is learned
The tides now call to Icarus and the fall

Recount my tale
Not in pride, but as a warning
To those who seek more than they can bear

Acceptance flows, there’s nothing left

Oh god what have I done
From mercy I’m stricken
A lesson taught is learned
The prophets now call to Icarus…

A tale to tell in shame
For we all fall the same
No lesson taught is learned
As watchers, we call to
Icarus and the fall

Earth Boiling Dystopia
by Scythelord

Scythelord continues to impress with their second album "Earth Boiling Dystopia", a diverse and intense album that sits strongly in the modern progressive thrash metal scene. Aramis

A Monument to Silence
by Alustrium

Alustrium's "A Monument to Silence" is a musically dense progressive tech-death concept album that offers a well made linear story with fantastic instrumentation. Aramis

The Sea of Tragic Beasts
by Fit For An Autopsy

"The Sea of Tragic Beasts" is undoubtedly one of, if not the best, albums from Fit For An Autopsy. With amazing riffs and vocals, it stands out compared to the rest of the modern deathcore scene. Aramis
