lyrics

There is an eye behind my eye
Watching my eye watching my eye
You see some facts and you can't deny
Watching my eye watching my eye
Contradictions of mankind
Watching my eye watching my eye

Standing on the same line
Holding tight the ropes of time
To pull us through this mud and grime
That is what we called the perfect crime

Wave goodbye to the judging birds
And close the chains of their cage
Feed them to smile but keep their wings
Away to avoid the cruelty of their rage

Watching my eye watching my eye

Wave goodbye to the judging birds
And close the chains of their cage
Feed them to smile but keep their wings
Away to avoid the cruelty of their rage
It is a matter of time and soon they all will die
The sky is near the day is short
But the tunes are still very high

The less my heart is free
The more my passion will destroy
I heard some voices calling me
Pretty was their poetry
But so deep was the hole
Although I thought I reached my goal
So I started at the centre and was ready to enter

Standing on the same line
Holding tight the ropes of time
To pull us through this mud and grime
That is what we called the perfect crime
Different copies of the same
Construction of this game
Along with all these kinds of pain
No one is left to blame

Standing on the same line
Holding tight the ropes of time
To pull us through this mud and lust
That is what we called the mind in dust
Different copies of the same
Construction of this game
Along with all these kinds of pain
No one is left to blame
Lame

Wave goodbye to the judging birds
And close the chains of their cage
Feed them to smile but keep their wings
Away to avoid the cruelty of their rage
It is a matter of time and soon they all will die
The sky is near the day is short
But the tunes are still very high

Watching my eye watching my eye

I learned to believe I learned to lie
I learned to live I learned to die
The sky is near, the day is short
But the tunes are still very high

Of Ash and Dying Light

Room of Angel: What an amazing cover. The subject matter is right on point for Altars of Grief, and it feels genuine. Great song. effervex

A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time
by Obsidian Tongue

supported by 9 fans who also own “Split Punishment”

L'obsidienne est une roche de couleur noire et son aspect vitreux absorbe le regard ; mais sous la lumière, elle produit de magnifiques reflets arcs-en-ciel. C'est ce degré de magnificence qu'Obsidian Tongue vise dans A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time. Si la production est toujours rugueuse, le duo américain met l'accent sur les mélodies, plus profondes et mélancoliques. Progressives, les pistes se rallongent et se condensent. Un bel opus qui frôle, sans l'atteindre encore, la perfection ! Jordan Vauvert

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance

I’m still more into “Sørbyen” than this one, but both albums have their merits and quirks. Alice M.
