lyrics
Caught in the hollow inconsistence,
found amidst the excess, uncultivated
waste, whose gods discard it,
I would forfeit anything
to see you just one more time.
I felt invincible, the instant so unreal yet alive.
The pretense fell and I with it, so limitless.
I felt ethereal, as infinite as suns dare to shine.
The sovereignty in solitude has sown in me an open view.
Words collide, repeat, subside.
I’ll play the king for empty halls.
All the world’s a grave for everyone.
The finest fare is not a feast
if no court attends to toast the king.
I felt the darkness grow, a darkness I know all too well to hide.
The burning trees are burning in me, and the forest is falling.
I felt a foreign breeze that tasted sweet with guilt and remorse.
I saw through veils of shifting sand the faded figure of a man.
Words collide, repeat, subside.
I’ll play the king for empty halls.
All the world’s a grave for everyone.
The finest fare is not a feast
if no court attends to toast the king.
found amidst the excess, uncultivated
waste, whose gods discard it,
I would forfeit anything
to see you just one more time.
I felt invincible, the instant so unreal yet alive.
The pretense fell and I with it, so limitless.
I felt ethereal, as infinite as suns dare to shine.
The sovereignty in solitude has sown in me an open view.
Words collide, repeat, subside.
I’ll play the king for empty halls.
All the world’s a grave for everyone.
The finest fare is not a feast
if no court attends to toast the king.
I felt the darkness grow, a darkness I know all too well to hide.
The burning trees are burning in me, and the forest is falling.
I felt a foreign breeze that tasted sweet with guilt and remorse.
I saw through veils of shifting sand the faded figure of a man.
Words collide, repeat, subside.
I’ll play the king for empty halls.
All the world’s a grave for everyone.
The finest fare is not a feast
if no court attends to toast the king.

Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform. Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next.

Epic, expansive hard rock from Perihelion that pairs post-metal expansiveness with skyscraping vocal melodies.
