Sink through the fog to the bottom
In loneliness be forgotten
In this dim room merge with darkness
Cast out pure thought become joyless
Inhabit misery, bitterness become me
Loneliness, welcome home
Linger with the creeping cold
Sanctify solitude
Conspire with loathsome moon
Hands of stone, deliver me
To astral planes of endless space
One with death, devoid of life
The hollow head, the vacant mind
The scoured Earth, the concrete tide
These weary legs, these tired eyes
Trudged across the barren waste
To be free from this dismal place
But flourished fields and cleansing rain
Didn't clarify nor ease the pain
The sorrow this seclusion brings
The anguish this thunder sings
The apathy that banes my soul
The frozen ground, the fallen snow
Parting Earth, the crushing weight
The breath of God wont sway my fate
Born for death, the promised tomb
For sacrifice, to be consumed
The sorrow this seclusion brings
The anguish this thunder sings
The breath of God wont sway my fate
(The flourished fields, the cleansing rain)
The apathy that banes my soul
The frozen ground, the fallen snow
The flourished fields, the cleansing rain
(The breath of God wont sway my fate)
One with death, devoid of life
The hollow head, the vacant mind
The scoured Earth, the concrete tide
These weary legs, these tired eyes
Cold hands collect, with black light beating down
Rid me of this debt, all that I owe the ground
Obliterate the sun from the aching sky
Alleviate the sanity from sinking minds
Align the woes like rows of headstone
Throw the withered corpse under the daily grind
To devour the dreaming from the endless night
Drag the gown of death over the fleeting life

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs. gebs
Seattle’s Laden captures the storm and stress of the greatest, grimmest post-metal, crafting songs from 20-megaton riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2022
The new album from Cult of Luna is full of the same epic, sweeping post-metal for which they've become known. Riffs & atmospherics abound. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 22, 2021
