SlashedSucubus At first I wasn't so sure about getting this one, it was part of a long list of music I had to listen to, and I knew that at the time I liked it and kept it in my list to buy for a reason but couldn't remember why, but I do remember now, this is way too intense to be forgotten,you made a new fan to this day and will follow you closely from now on! Favorite track: Absolution.

Frigid_Wind It's scary how incredible this record is. A well placed follow up to Elevate. These guys are not playing around. Everything about this release is top notch. So much emotion, energy and professionalism. The Healing have a huge future ahead. Favorite track: Degenerate.

Degenerate 04:30
Just let me fade to grey. My mind escapes from this place, Daily. When was the last time I’ve, Faced the world as myself? Silence, deafening quiet, Wash it all away, Meander in my chemical, Solitude. This is my cancer. This is my cure. Collapsed lungs, Blackened tongue, I know I deserve this. Just let me fade to grey. Collapsed lungs, Blackened tongue, I know I deserve this. Just let me fade to grey. Time slows down to me, As I find the place, Within myself that exists. Await opportunity, To ingest, My lost remedy. Collapsed lungs, Blackened tongue, I know I deserve this. Just let me fade to grey. Collapsed lungs, Blackened tongue, I know I deserve this. Just let me fade to grey. I can’t erase this. Can’t convince me to give in. Consume the poison. Let it fill the hollow within. Absolve me of myself and this. I feel the thirst, I feel the thirst again. Collapsed lungs, Blackened tongue, I know I deserve this. Just let me fade to grey. Collapsed lungs, Blackened tongue, I know I deserve this. Just let me fade to grey. Collapsed, Lungs left with nothing but grey. My mind escapes from this place, Daily. When was the last time I’ve, Faced the world as myself? Just let me fade to grey. Just let me fade to grey.

Phantom Self 03:46
And I will brave this coming storm. A dark horizon, unimaginable in scale, The ceaseless skies overhead, No one to face my woes but I, Alone. For years I've kept you locked away, In the service of my inner qualms. (Feeding) Feeding you with all you need to survive, I am the warden and I am the cell. But I've been away, (Been away) For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (recognize myself) Been so long since I have returned back home. Eye of the storm, Eye of the soothsayer. Seasons shifting in a time-lapse dream. In the midst is where I will find you, Forced to face the folly of my own regret. And now, We face our demons in our darkest hour, We face our demons tonight. But I've been away, (Been away) For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (recognize myself) Been so long since I have returned back home. I feel the struggle inside of me, Contemplated, medicated, Until the voices stop. Aberrations, of fragile humanity, Beckoning, wailing to be observed. But now, You can’t hide from yourself forever. Face to face with phantoms, Stagnant eyes staring back at me, so lifeless, Escape the spectres of a hollow life, (Hollow) Escape the spectres of untimely choice, And brave this coming storm tonight. But I've been away, (Been away) For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (Been Away) Been so long since I have returned back home. But I've been away, (Been away) For so long it's hard to recognize my face. (Been Away) Been so long since I have returned back home. Alone. Been so long since I have returned back, Home. And I will brave this coming storm, Overhead, No one to face my woes but I.

Absolution 03:41
I see your face when I close my eyes, I'll be chasing memories til' the day, Til' the day I die. I took all those years away from you. Can’t ever forget, The years you gave to me. All waking moments,quantified and spent. Pushing through the thick, Unrelenting vicious reflections. Left with conscience stretching razor thin. The cries are deafening, Keep the silence, Keep the strain within you. Contentment fading and fleeting, Thrown away (Thrown away) Reveries lost in a wishing well. Time can never heal the pain, (Of our mistakes) We feed the fire that forged the chains, (The chains of) Helplessness, co-dependent purgatory, Reveries lost in a wishing well Ever reaching for the hand that, Pulls us away, Just let it go, just let it. I took all those years away from you. Can’t forget the years you gave to me. Faded, obscure and faded. Mesmerized by the brazier flame, I walk away, I turn my back. Relinquish everything that lead me astray. I’m convinced that you’ve worn your welcome. I turn my back, I will be set, Set free. Time can never heal the pain, We feed the fire that forged the chains, (The chains of) Helplessness, co-dependent purgatory, Reveries lost in a wishing well Ever reaching for the hand that, Pulls us away, Just let it go, just let it. I see your face when I close my eyes, I'll be chasing memories til' the day, Til' the day I die.

Glass House 03:05
What's become of society? Giving platforms to the childish, And the fucking weak. Preaching your messages of civility, With actions that contradict their logic. Shut it down, shut it down. This shit has gone on far too long. Another moment and were drowning in this. Truth is treason in an empire of lies. Look to those who condemn, As oppressors of our kind. Can’t you see beyond the veil? We all play the parts that we’ve been assigned. Designed for suffering, When did reason become hateful words? When did reason become hateful words? Manufactured division, A cog in the great machine, Being programmed for hatred, Shadow tactics of the regime. Hide your eyes with your blanket of comfort, Nothing will save you, Nothing will save you, Fuck your safe space. When did reason become hateful words When did reason become hateful words? What's become of society? Giving platforms to the childish, And the fucking weak.

Hollow Earth 03:33
Bare witness as our lives become empty, As we concern ourselves with such triviality. Losing connection, never disconnecting from the, Framework constructing our isolation. Can’t turn away, cant turn away. Amid the revelry; Revocation of innocence. We lock away, leaving everything behind, That made us whole, That made us who we are. This is not where we're supposed to be. We have just lost our way. There is meaning to you and I. We can overcome these lies. Open your eyes, seek love and light. As we find our way back home. There is meaning to you and I. Never chasing another life. Open your heart, be free of mind, As we live and let go. Hand in hand we can overcome. You can never see the path when, You can never see the path when, when we’re blind. Cognitive dissonance holds us in ignorance. Chase the meanings that make us feel whole again. There is meaning to you and I. We can overcome these lies. Open your eyes, seek love and light. As we find our way back home. There is meaning to you and I. Never chasing another life. Open your heart, be free of mind, As we live and let, Go. As we live and let go. Go. Live and let go.

Divinity 04:09
It’ll take you under, Surrounding captive eyes, Drowned and torn asunder, Believing all the hype, Polarize my mind, In the darkest frames we, Pause and analyze, to understand if, Life finds the light, Keep searching for the, One that takes you to the, Place inside of your heart. With each moment passing I can feel, (We are aligned) Intertwined and crashing, Pulling me under the tide. I surrender my struggle, Giving in to your diamond eyes, Never feeling so alive. I never felt so alive, never felt so alive. I never felt so alive, never felt so alive. Can’t let this struggle die, It's not within me, Can’t let it lie down. The world encapsulates, Degeneracy. It's not within me, It's not within. Life finds the light, Keep searching for the, One that takes you to the, Place inside of your heart. With each moment passing I can feel, (We are aligned) Intertwined and crashing, Pulling me under the tide. I surrender my struggle, Giving in to your diamond eyes, Never feeling so alive. I never felt so alive, never felt so alive. I never felt so alive, never felt so alive. In the mist I see, Silhouettes that beckon me, Taking me to a place I called home. Stone and hearth affinities, etched and carved in memory. As we reach the summit, Clothed in amber sunlight. Take a breath to know we’ve, Made it out, we’ve made it out alive.

Mirror Image 03:34
Reborn. Reborn. Swear to me, what's meant to be, Will justify the scars encompassed. Numbering the times in my mind, I left a part of me be- Hindsight in my eyes. (With such fascination) Spotlight on my faults. (Focusing to) Release remorse, Lay transgressions to rest. Let the guilt lay to rest. Yeah. We are not who we were yesterday. (Yesterday) We all walk in the wake of our past, Desperately trying to get ahead of, You. Reborn. Reborn. In dreams we're brimming with selfless glory, Believing we were virtue's child. (Virtue's child) Into the mirror, reflection's story, Is far from visions we hoped and strived for. I still strive. Cold inhumanity surmounts my conscience. Carry me, carry me, Depart away from here. Realize the parts that hold you under, Can be the balance, Can be what brings the tides of change. Barefoot I walk onto the burning pyre, Cleansed of the mark of time. Embrace the flaws unique to our form (To our form) Embrace the choices, Embrace the path that lead us astray. Walk through the flames. Cleans the mark on me. We are not who we were yesterday. We are not who we were yesterday.

Waters Above 03:26
Another one has escaped suppression. Another one is awake, Red-pilled to the deceptions, Bureaucracies, Gatekeepers holding the flame, That gives falsehoods a light. Are you woke? Have you ascended these planes? Made an allegiance to the echo chambers? Can you divulge your own opinions with grace? Peel the film off the blatant, Masquerading lies. Reinforced repetition. Go deeper, much deeper. So masterful in the art of our, Self repression. You release yourself, From the grip of your own, Constructed preconceptions. The walls around me start to melt away, (Melt away) I cant remain in this dark masquerade. (Masquerade) Breaking the glass facade, I shatter my eyes with a burst of the true sight. All our lives we have fought for the wrong things, Manipulators, the victims, the charlatans. Unknowingly fuel machines, That cultivate our power, Now search inside, Let the conflict raise doubt in, You. The surface never will be scratched. The firmament can never be, Broken through. We still believe. We still believe. The walls around me start to melt away, (Melt away) I cant remain in this dark masquerade. (Masquerade)

Babel 04:27
Filter my words away, My civility, Kept in check by your witch-hunt reprisals. (Kicking and screaming) My voice weakening, Hope kept close to me, Our cries will not go undeterred, (Hear me) For how long? Unable to bridge the divide. Forces break us, Mold us to meet the grand design. Intellect evading, While innocence just fades, Perversion infectious, Creeping into every aspect of our, Lifeline. Dangling above the wreck, Futures burn below, And there will be nothing, (And there will be nothing) Left. When my words are never heard or spoken, I know there is nothing left. They can't silence, bury, Voices that carry, Asphyxiate the flame that lights the mind, Distance, hours, Can’t hold us down within this, Cage no longer, I will speak from my heart this time. Oh, The sharpened wit, Cutting deep with a razor tongue, Dictate all my thoughts, While your galavanting, Masquerade, Disguised as hope for all, Targets those who will refuse you, Keeping me where I can’t reach my, Life-line. Dangling above the wreck. Futures burn below, And there will be nothing, (And there will be nothing) Kingdoms crumble away, Such hostility, Resonates through me, Worlds so far away, Passion driving, Our hands to act in fear. They can't silence, bury, Voices that carry, Asphyxiate the flame that lights the mind, Distance, hours, Can’t hold us down within this, Cage no longer, I will speak from my heart this time. Can’t hold us down, Can’t force us to accept this fate. Speak your, speak your heart and mind. We will be heard, Our calls will echo far and wide. For how long? Unable to bridge the divide. Forces break us, Mold us to meet the grand design.

Vibrant eyes, Silent smiles seen through, The flashing lens inside, Subtle asylum in the back of the mind’s eye. In the fog where we meet you, Street lights there to guide, But your shadow still conceals you. I see you there standing silent in the after-thought. Distract ourselves from the weight of it all, Finding our love, and let it be our end, (Let it end us) Betray the reality. Free us from our predictable end. Sand is sifting through the hourglass, As we fade, will we transcend? Find our love and let it be our end. Black my eyes. Retna’s burning, your image engrained in me. Keep the faith. (Though it fails us) We find our depth, and go even further. Far away and free from the thoughts of you, Naturally we will learn how to realize that, Our stays will end. Resiliency, Stand in the face of fear. Embrace uncertainty like a fire, Flickering in the midst of winter winds. Limitless we are. Arise and fall. I will meet you in the end, Rest amid the stars. Keeping the faith, keeping the vigor. Resiliency in the face of fear. Find your depth, and go even further. Exploit the weaknesses that keep us nil. Limitless we are, (We all arise) Arise and fall, (We fall) I will meet you in the end, (In the end) Rest amid the stars. Free us from our predictable end. Sand is sifting through the hourglass, As we fade, will we transcend? Find our love and let it be our end. Free us from our predictable end. Sand is sifting through the hourglass, As we fade, will we transcend? Find our love and let it be our end.
