1.	Sorrowing Old Man ('At Eternity's Gate') 17:03	lyrics	buy track
Knees weak, teeth begin to gnash Cinder-smoke gone in a flash Trauma of total meaninglessness Rumination leaving me speechless Crippled by mere thoughts Hard time connecting all of the dots Nagging thoughts within my head Inner darkness and constant dread At eternity's gate, feel the sorrow in weight Convulsing losing control, severed from the whole
2.	Eyes Wide Shut 18:10	lyrics	buy track
The winding dirt road path has shown the gate, Black and white feelings of starkness to collate. The grass has lost its hue, lacking color, As I recall the estate was smaller. The building stands imposing on the shore, Time is fluid as First Father begins to pour. I've searched but cannot find the first of kin, I sit on the sand watching tides come in. Eyes wide shut Deeds of regret Kindly remove your mask That is all I ask The sun and moon seem constructs of the mind, We, the wayfarers realize the path blind. We are but mere strata rooted in the dirt, The Earth was made of mass and gas inert. The fleeting dream has begotten our life, Out of blackness the light has borne a wife. Eyes wide shut Deeds of regret Kindly remove your mask That is all I ask
3.	मण्डल Maṇḍala, 'circle' 14:28	lyrics	buy track
The obelisk stands tall, undertow of the wailing wall The Monolith of anomaly, tools for our progeny Droning of our own beginning, life of Brahman is brimming The eternal vibration, Atman of Earth gestation Maya cloaked and opaque, shroud of the awake Release from Samsara, liberation of the charas Rites of the light bearer, deception of illusory terror Ascension of body and mind, realization of the undefined The forces at work, unknowable energy spark The mandala takes form, tumult of the battering storm Rites of the light bearer, deception of illusory terror Ascension of body and mind, realization of the undefined Release from Samsara, liberation of the charas

No Quarter For The Damaged
by NORTHLESS

Just. Fuck. This is THE heaviest band you will ever hear. Sludge metal at it's finest with a good touch of post-metal element. Everything in their collection is extremely solid. Flight of the Seraphim
