The religion haunts you as you turn a cold shoulder to the world around. Dancing with fire, so those that listen will believe your lies, locked away inside. Stare at the faceless sun, realized your prayers go unanswered Stare at the faceless sun, the tears burn with disgrace. All the love you knew was lost All that pain inside, sold to your flock Knee-deep in the entrails of self-righteousness. How does it feel to wade through their misfortunes? Knee-deep in servitude, unmistaken inner-terror. The religion haunts you as you turn a cold shoulder to the world around.

Hold your head up high try to fake a smile, as your mind recalls looking in on mine. Teardrops hit the ground soft soil where dreams lied, to your timid soul, Alone. Abandoned Unseen... The frigid air inside the soul, Illuminates the path to bleed Burn the pyre for me, a thousand prayers for light (darkness) Wash away my eyes, abysmal tides give way to sailing onward in search of Hope Calm Love Empathy All the fears instilled... revoking to a silent horror, irreversible seclusion, the darkness of the reservoir. You see my fate my fate stares back No stopping now, the scene goes black. Sins withdrawn, confession made to the bleak waters... Hold your head up high, try to fake a smile... as your mind recalls looking onto mine. Teardrops hit the ground, soft soil where dreams lied. Your timid soul, Alone. ((solo: Moore))

We all fell deep into your sins (and waiting for life to begin) The tears so angrily bereave (to desecrate what you've foreseen) Soar into derelict, vast confusion... Fleet all the hope into those that listen My claw marks on the side of the cellar; my life is wearing thin the animal inside, purging all Within... Ensnaring, Alluring The nightfall Whispers in the trees Remembering, all the belongings of life heeding the spell of my possession, waking for only a sigh, and wading through water turned to blood Surrounded, imprisoned, confined. Left to succumb to the void, abandoned. Wander the woods within dusk, part of the night - lost in time. Gone inside Regressing thoughts Actions collide with selfishness... We are robots of sin purging all love left within Ensnaring, alluring the darkness... Gone inside, fleeting thoughts of what was (what is) Sacred, my blood runs black; spilling upon the druid alters, transfiguration of the beast... Within.... Within.... Within.....

Another day, another design sewn in, packed along the walls of hope Her eyes are turning upward, on the finality of society's flaws; As if not knowing the space that fits into the holes of her mind. "Winds that change, thoughts that maim, Godless face upon the seas, swallow me. Upon the drift, supposed cliffs wander free to Trail and see; Etched in me." Embers, Climb, See, Blind Answers, signs, deceived, denied... She pulls her heart so ever closer to the soothing night... She looks into the mirror and sees the eyeless face staring back... No regrets... (no regrets) Await the razor to take the sting of death away, a helpless plea against the skies... "Winds that change, thoughts that maim Godless face upon, the seas swallow me. Upon the drift, supposed cliffs wander free, trail and see; Etched in me..." Transcending the planes of existence.. her soul wandering the fields.. Wimpering... Cowering... Etched... Within... Her... Soul.... Forlorn desire Forlorn; All that you love... Forlorn; the days.... Mistaken on all fronts....

Jodelle 05:58
Her past is glowing Remembering the faces dear to heart Forlorned, internalized hatred, unleashing the life force chained inside Breaking free of her restraints hands are clasped around your neck, redeemed impregnation of the serpent And you feel helpless, dismembering mental infrastructure All ties to humanity are clearly lost in the gaze of her despair "Jodelle, come back to us" Behold - her journey into self-destruction Resurrecting the death that took her family Experience straight from the depths of hell "Jodelle, come back to me... Look past your dreams, escape this sleep...." Familiar hands that loved, are what haunts her comatose reality... The empathy for stars above... Her reach neverending. This new plane of solitude.... Awakening, to the empty room Siphoning, her emotions Astray.... Familiar hands that loved, are what haunts her comatose Reality "Jodelle, come back to me... Look past your dreams...escape this sleep.." Death, so exquisite; drawing her past. Painted down the roads, she's known to loathe.... Awakening, to the empty room Siphoning, from her empty soul Awakening, to the empty room Siphoning Her emotions astray. Death, so exquisite; drawing her past. Painted, down the roads she's known to loathe.

Imminence 04:38
And when the sun falls dusk, Innocence, it feigns away. The masses staring into my eyes; blackened hearts so led astray Baptismal fire sweeps across my soul My spirit won't rest until the guilty are sunk into my depths of sorrow.. Hang my head to the imminence Necessitate the will to live The love I felt, but memory left behind these pawns I failed to see And with a clean conscience A permanent clairvoyant experience Doom engulfing the wicked as my empty shell swayed at their gallows. No escape can be perceived, as if the trees obscured their view; whispering back lies to their dismay. Insomnia sets in Hang my head to the imminence Necessitate the lost hope of being Egocentricity lost within me, left just behind the dawn... Imminence, resounding Recipients of desolation until Eclipse Imminence Resounding Recipients Of desolation..

about

Darkening Atlanta, Georgia

Darkening is one of those bands whom will continue pioneering until the band's demise (which thankfully will not be soon). From epic harmonies to eerie mood-stricken arrangement, Darkening aims to do something that few metal bands have embarked upon as of late - paving an entirely new road for extreme metal which is as uncompromising, unrelenting, ethereal, and gut-wrenching as humanly possible. ... more
