The tears fall still Silence drowns my will Ulcerous I've become By this Emptiness
The damned nothingness Consuming me from within Black hole soul Suffocation from inside
Filled with void The flame of life grows cold A new days dawn Seems so distant now
Far above this starlit sky will be my last The pain feel is far too real
My yearning grows so strong For my release and for the pain to cease
I can not take this anymore Tired mind Longing for repose
Weakened still exhausted by delusion
The black horizon Seems not too distant now
Far above the sky shall witness my demise
Beyond the Black there is a light Please greet me with its solitude
The blood is cold as I watch death unfold Cries from silent lips
The tears fall still but this is my will The twilight of my life
Devoid of hope when the dusk arrives
I shall greet its coming deep eternal sleep
My awaited end Seems not so distant now
Far above the starlit sky bid me farewell
Beyond the Black there is a light
But its warmth I shall never reach
Beyond the Black there is a light
But its solitude is not for me

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka

epic, pastoral doom that yet radiates with the sadness and anguish of the abused. a powerful, moving work - if only the band had a different name... risottoeater
