I remembered tomorrow
I’ll predict yesterday
The serpent devours itself
without end
The white wheel spins
withershins
Deosil turn
The Bloodclock’s hands
Below
Descending from one
Into many tendrils crawl
Like roots reaching down
Away from the sun
Grasping out into darkness
Probing forth into time
Again and again and again
Drunk on the Waters of Lethe
Under deep sedation
The patient stirs
He’s coming awake
Before the surgery ends
Qui dormit,
excitare an somnium?
Cognoscere veritatem
An semper abscondis?
Qui dormit, excita

II Revelatio

Bereft of memory,
I am mercifully lost
and grasping, grasping
An aimless threnody
Palms displayed to the sky
Death yet everlasting
Lost, So lost and nearly blind
Lost, We reach out into the black
So Lost, Not knowing what to ask
Lost, Or who it is that answers
Mired in earth
Shackled in body
Projecting
Falling outward
Gazing into the black
Descending
Lost, The merest suggestion of light
Lost, Somewhere too far off to tell
So lost, We stumble and continue to crawl
Lost, Because in the end where else is there to go
The sacrament is the gateway
Verba non verbo
Verba non sunta linguae

III Desperatio
05:06
|

|
The revelations come
In the realms of reflection
In metaphors incomplete
Yet what word could ever describe
Loosened from bonds
Of what senses would have you believe
Merely a glimpse
But enough to convince
We stand in the sea
Only up to our feet
Staring only down
Staring only down
At once both here and there
Understanding wiped away
Not flawed only fallen
Not flawed only fallen

IV Comprehensio
05:53
|

|
Tell me, where is the good here?
If I’m ever to understand
Tell me, why have I grown
To lament all that I see?
Vita est mors aeterna
Omnes manducamus, et manducamur
I want to climb out of this place
To know the reason for all of this
It seems like a cruel joke
To be repulsed by existence
Given eyes to see and insight to know
The only sane conclusion is horror
Bury your head, come to terms, or exit
The only sane conclusion is horror
How is the rational mind to proceed
How can one resist when there is no choice
The Only Sane Conclusion Is Horror

V Cohesio

Watch us spin in circles
Watch us disintegrate one by one
Drowning in rising waters
Burning alive in the cancerous sun
Dripping from the teeth of a lion,
I am the rat, traveling the length of the snake
Slipping from the distant horizon, dying
The light, indifferent to the life it creates
Watch them clamor for meaning
Watch them killing for the favor of God
If only they knew the remorse
The regret that awaits us all
Vivo iterum
Vivimus iterum
Vivo iterum
Vivimus iterum
atque iterum iterumque

Stare Into the Face of Death
by Mourn the Light
supported by 6 fans who also own “Around The Circle, Around The Snake”
I recently made a joke on Twitter calling for a new heavy metal sub-genre, depressive suicidal power metal. And someone commented, “Isn’t that just epic doom metal?”. At the time, I just chuckled to myself, but that user was clearly onto something. This EP definitely feels about as close to depressive suicidal power metal as we may get, and it’s rife with elements of power, doom, and trad metal. The new wave of traditional heavy metal is here, and Mourn the Light have a torch burning!

The first track, aside from being a great title, immersed me in an immense journey at 5am. Epic layers upon layers of ultimate ‘devastation’ as another review suggested. Totally engulfing.
