lyrics

Fading lights soon to be gone, on this quest I'm doomed to hold
Seconds pass like nails into my body, piercing flesh by now so cold
Walking feels like crawling when an invisible leash is choking you
And dragging you through mud

Castaway in a maze closing in

Why am I lost?
Is it wrong the key or the door?

Nourish the notes of my song
Paint them with gold salvaged from dust

Craving for the dawn that never comes
To warm my breath and heart at once
A blurred image lies at hand
A shapeless face scornfully formed

Is this the eternal hallway of my life?
An infinite interlude of sheer immobility?

I must find a way out
Or I'll die waiting for life

Shouts of joy emerging from a distant crowd beyond
Comes to me muffled and confused, they forgot their count is wrong
They moved on, but I could not - I'll remain the missing one

Castaway in a maze closing in

Why am I lost?
Is it wrong the key or the door?

Nourish the notes of my song
Paint them with gold salvaged from dust

Craving for the dawn that never comes
To warm my breath and heart at once
A blurred image lies at hand
A shapeless face scornfully formed

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito
