"Black Hxle '99" As the cold slits your tongue The final moment has begun Engraved in poisoned air he sung The fallen prophet praised by one... Collective mob that crucifies Those who speak against their lies Deviations from normality Condemned to death by bigotry The time is nigh No more wait No delay You say... "There are some who gaze down upon us Yet heaven is not our fate" The time is nigh No more wait No delay You say... "There are some who gaze down upon us" But I say "It's not worth the weight" Jungian thought, 12 rules for life Peasant solutions for simple minds Christian mythos-conditioned optimists Toxic veil to gather feeble men Apocalipctic philosophy Shrouded in hustle fallacy Portrayed by alpha leeches it be Grinding 9 to 5 monstrosity The time is nigh No more wait No delay You say... "There are some who gaze down upon us Yet heaven is not our fate" The time is nigh No more wait No delay You say... "There are some who gaze down upon us" But I say "It's not worth the weight" It's coming closer Colder than death It's coming closer Immersing us in despair The time is nigh No more wait No delay You say... "There are some who gaze down upon us Yet heaven is not our fate" The time is nigh No more wait No delay You say... "There are some who gaze down upon us" But I say "it's not worth the weight"

Engulfed by tides Corrode your insides Flooded with an anxious existence A life of permanent unrest Empty shell immersed in white noise Talking heads and malicious ploys Rotting corpses of mortal toys Faint sound while you dissipate Crescent sun, Watch it burn Unfold the truth of your fate As you slip through the cracks Faint sound while you dissapear Crescent sun, so just run Disassociate, let your core disintegrate As you slip through the cracks The procession marches on and.... On infinite song they see no wrong Every plea on deaf ears, they carry on Enraged by empty rethoric Euphoric confusion celebrating ignorance The truth sniffed by a natural born sceptic Faint sound while you dissipate Crescent sun, Watch it burn Unfold the truth of your fate As you slip through the cracks Faint sound while you dissapear Crescent sun, so just run Disassociate, let your core disintegrate As you slip through the cracks With a hopeless gaze I feel a faint taste of love Wishing our embrace would last forever But forever was not meant to be With a hopeless gaze I feel a faint taste of love My heart in your hands No matter what happens Ephemeral but true Ephemeral without you

Praised be the sun seen from the slaughterhouse, "Blood-tinted glow, this ancestral show..." "Moved me beyond my will..." With eyes fixated on pale ceilings, Glued to the beds, gravity pulls. "Forget the clamor of today, Forget the piece that wouldn't fit. Forever roam to find your way. Forget the tremors and pray, Say what's left there to say. Forever you will be our prey" "Took for a fool, I'm slandered, ostracized... I've been mistaken, taken for granted, but I know... Thrown the key, locked the door, to the slaughterhouse. Pull the plug, memories I've got to endure... To take things into my own hands. Sunken eyes that fear what tomorrow holds, Cold unknown paths that now unfold. Tread, hold back the tears, as the colors now unfade. With eyes fixated on pale ceilings, Glued to the beds, gravity pulls.

Yggdrasil 08:14
Thus made the light he bore before, Dimly lit forevermore. Your Spore Asthenic deities. "I've purged all my sins onto this blood-soaked water. Let it all swim through my limbs." "Pungent smell sends shivers down my spine. I re-align thoughts. Have I been here before?" Fruit-bearing casket Grips its roots onto thee. Silently, this screaming voice is heard. Thus made the light he bore before, Dimly lit forevermore. Your Spore Asthenic deities. Thus made the light he bore before, Dimly lit forevermore. Your Spore Asthenic deities. "Have I been here before? I re-align thoughts."

Neverending 05:39
"I've watched myself erased from the face of this earth." "I've watched myself replaced with less of a sigh." "For me, there's no more trace of a face that once had left." "I've watched myself erased from the face of this earth." "Stop me from succumbing to..." "Against the current, not subjecting myself to..." "I've stopped crushing all that I am." It's like a flower in bloom, Your springtime in June. Delayed, not overstayed, Gasping for air when you stare. It's like a summer too soon, 2 seconds and you Fade into your own memories, Grasping the present's slippery sands. Woke up briefly from tempest and pain, The scarlet rain came on to me yet again. Reach balance, find your center, enter a new paradigm, Composed of all that's already in you. "Stop it from consuming me..." "Against the current, not subjecting myself to the..." "I've stopped crushing all that I am." It's like a flower in bloom, Your springtime in June. Delayed, not overstayed, Gasping for air when you stare. It's like a summer too soon, 2 seconds and you Fade into your own memories, Grasping the present's slippery sands. Neverending tragedy, Now (that) i've tried mending my malady.

Longing 05:39
My longing has taken the sunrise for granted, Pushing me in and out of cycles. I've lost my patience; I've seen myself crumble, Never returning the same again. Cold, lost, and old, Crust of human flesh By a splinter of decay. Say you'll stay, A mirror wrapped in gold, A soul untouched by no one. "Meaningless in others' eyes, It's no surprise. I summarize briefly what lacks in me." Vacant by nature, I've seen myself crumble, Never returning the same again. Cold, lost, and old, Crust of human flesh By a splinter of decay. Say you'll stay, A mirror wrapped in gold, A soul untouched by no one. I've lost my patience. I've seen myself crumble. Let me go.

And all this angst-filled heart, Raged on and on until times to come. That shall end when a rush of autumn pollen Fills the ramifications of his lungs. The beating, the waiting, Excruciating, satiate the craving. In his eyes, the abyss gazed back at him, Crystal clear, it's drawing near. In his eyes, he disappeared. Hear the solemn song being sung. And all this angst-filled heart, Felt the anguish of a thousand piercing needles. That shall end when scarlet tides devour him whole, Floating and barely breathing. The beating, the waiting, Excruciating, satiate the craving. Say hello to yourself, Coming home. In his eyes, the abyss gazed back at him, Crystal clear, it's drawing near. In his eyes, he disappeared. Hear the solemn song being sung. "Rampant floods of light, Echoes the glow within me."

about

"A Scarlet Lunar Glow," Icosandria's inaugural opus, unfolds its melodic tapestry as the ethereal sequel to their EP odyssey. Within its lyrical constellations, the album gracefully orbits the conceptual nexus of cosmic horror — a symbolic vessel navigating the turbulent seas of individual perspectives, entwined with the tendrils of depression and anxiety. Like a celestial ballet, the songs become metaphors, tracing the delicate trajectory of coming of age amid the enigmatic symphony of existence in this world. Each note resonates as a luminous constellation, casting shadows that echo the profound and poetic exploration of the human condition.

FFO: Alcest, Les Discrets, Deafheaven, Opeth
