ABYSS Feel the Sky, Take me Further. Swallow light, And Empty... Me, of hope. Embrace, the darkness of this empty space. The silent pain of this, Is welcoming me to the... Abyss Set a time ago, (You'll be) the first and last to know. (Let it be) Said a long time ago, (You'll always be) the first and last to know. A rush of feeling, washes clean. The signs and stars are, all I see. And what will become of this, creature of no habit? An empty vessel gifted life, knowing not that everything must die. Set a time ago, (You'll be) the first and last to know. (Let it be) Said a long time ago, (You'll always be) the first and last to know. Feel the Sky, Take me Further. Swallow light, And Empty... A rush of feeling, washes clean. The signs and stars are, all I see... ABYSS Set a time ago, (You'll be) the first and last to know (Let it be) Said a long time ago, (You'll always be) the first and last to know

O' Nameless wanderer, the time is now to see the world. A new sensation, limitations, A body to learn. I'm still learning. A body to learn. I bear the torch, and search once more, there's no one else. within my mind, A cloudless sky, Embracing new life. O' Faceless traveller, this is the hour of your rebirth. This is the next progression. A worldly disposition now. A temporary state... Another way... I bear the torch, and search once more, there's no one else. within my mind, A cloudless sky, Embracing new life.

Choke 04:21
The figures off in the distance, The dimly lit faces are approaching. A fire burns forever, In the eyes of the broken. Disrespected, Why Me? Get rejected, Empty. Unrelenting, Anger. No Escaping, Danger. Choke me again, So I remember. Take me to the end, I will not wear this now. This world was not ready. I was not ready for this world. Disrespected, Why Me? Get rejected, Empty. Unrelenting, Anger. No Escaping, Danger. Choke me again, So I remember. Take me to the end, I will not wear this now. RIGHT NOW. You feel it now, That rush of energy. When light is gone, So too is humanity Choke me again, So I remember. Take me to the end, I will not wear this now. Wear this now.

What if life is nothing more, Than the condensation on the outside wall? Who am I? I can try to find a better life. Knowing now, what has come, What could never be undone. Open eyes, open mind, Find a better way, A better way inside. A better way inside. A better way. I'm relearning all my fears, I am fighting back the tears, But I was never here. Dripping down on the pane, Rain is washing me again. Find the real, distant memories, Drops of empty promises. This reality is crumbling, Smaller pieces in my hand. Through the fog forever tumbling, Find the strength to finally stand. (Knowing now, what has come) This reality is crumbling, (What could never be undone) Smaller pieces in my hand. (Open eyes, Open mind) Through the fog forever tumbling, (Find a better way, a better way inside) Find the strength to finally stand. I'm relearning all my fears, I am fighting back the tears, But I was never here.

Flowing river I follow along, The life within, it's clear enough, And calls me to join. I don't mind if you try, To take me back home. But realise the journey's long, And home is gone. The memories I never made, They're haunting me. The lives of everyone I blamed, and now I see... Open the wound and clean the dirt away You're chasing ghosts to be consumed, You want them to stay. I don't mind if you try, To turn me around. But realise the road is long, And hope is not gone. The memories I never made, They're haunting me. The lives of everyone I blamed, and now I see... Synthetic, It's not real. What if I cannot feel? Synthetic (It's synthetic) It's not real (It isn't real) What if I (and what if I?) Cannot feel? The memories I never made, They're haunting me. The lives of everyone I blamed, and now I see... The memories I plan to make, They're pushing me. The lives of everyone I'll save... I will redeem myself.

The call of the void beyond the veil. A thousand voices Travelling down wires A vision in the sky, come alive. Attachments faded, Bonds created. The cord is frayed. Which pathway leads to safety? Carry me away. Coming to the end, Can I breathe again? The blurry colours fading, Returning to the grey.

In the ashes of the dead, Ask if honor matters. There is no sound or movement, The silence is your answer. Afraid to let go, But too inclined to stay. The past it bears a heavy weight, That never goes astray. And even if I wake, The choices still remain, Even as my dreams do, A million miles away. The calling of the void, Beyond the veil... A thousand voices travelling down wires, Spin a thousand tales. Afraid to let go, But too inclined to stay. The past it bears a heavy weight, That never goes astray. And even if I wake, The choices still remain, Even as my dreams do, A million miles away. A million miles away. The call of the void. For you. For you.

Adrestia 05:33
Balance within. The equilibrium is hanging on the edge. But I'll be the one who colours all with a fresh veneer, And cover what once was all so clear. Hiding the truth is easier to do, but harder to maintain. And everything I've gained, I know now I will lose. The consequences of what I choose. I still know the truth. Surrounded by old fears. Home is where we are, Not from where we started. Where we choose to go is where we lay, And where the heart is. Balance within. The equilibrium, suspended in motion. And maybe I'll go back, and tailor the shredded seams, But torment is where that pathway leads. The conscience is unclear, Surrounded by old fear. Home is where we are, Not from where we started. Where we choose to go is where we lay, And where the heart is. Breathe deeply... Take everything in... Take me, Take Me, Take Me, Take me in. Take Me, Take Me, Take me. Pray. Adrestia, Judge me. Adrestia, Take me. Take me in. The conscience is unclear. Surrounded by old fears. Home is where we are, Not from where we started. Where we choose to go is where we lay, And where the heart is.

about

'Adrestia' follows the story of an amnesiac, slowly coming to terms with their place in the world and how the consequences of their actions affect those around them. Musically the album expands on their previous release bringing more electronic and heavy elements, while still retaining the dynamics that the band is known for.
