We stand, pierced, in unending anguish
Our futile invocation falls
As dissonant skies remain soundless and inanimate
Returning void to our listless bodies
Drenched in arterial nectar of the innocent
Covering our frail skin like the rain
We are filled with measureless despondency
We are as one with the dust of the ground
Silent hymns of absolution and regret spill from our open throats
Despite everything we remain encased in this empty shell of a world
Decaying in ethereal unison with the void
Left as lifeless shadows, wracked with pestilence
Lost within inhuman convulsions of undying misery
Forsaken and left to rot
Beneath this wretched empyrean
This nameless voiceless god
Insatiable, unattainable, hanging just out of reach
We are left as shadows
I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
