Your chapel is buried
Now night will prevail
Dream in the presence of
A vast network of graves
Desperate to pride their Time
Only grief tops their shrines
Weeping remembered now
as their first glimpse into Forever
Remembrance ensues
The craft is found
Elite men sleep where weakness abounds
Touching the silver
Forgetting of sight
Dissociation
In the rhythms of the Shadow World
Forever

The Noble

Pure night - Sensing the pool - Never known in sight, but by the cold
My lifeless chamber holds true to the portal
Bones in a portrait I am - Laying on lake floor
Gazing at the moon eternally
Somehow I knew I would return
(Splintered through my trance, visions of prisons)
I gazed at the source where water flowed
Now as a ghost I walk alone
Seemed not unknown in spirit eye
Forced end leads you back to the place you died
I remembered this day - The lords of secrets
Remembered the suffocating silence
When into the stars they had floated
To save themselves from bitter injustice
Towards the eye of the cosmic web
Past a dense layer of victims' scent
Nearing the threshold of formlessness
They cast their coil of shamebound skin
Into The Nothing
Remember this day. The lords of failure.
Remember the suffocating silence
When into the lake had we floated
To save ourselves from bitter injustice

Kinship as a Wound

Weakling!
You fool no one
Sinking disgraced limbs in blinded brothers
It is the waves of their pain
that build the walls depicting faith in you
Permitted - Mutated - Lies
Red seas of life sing somber psalms
"Salt your wounds
Mend, revive - Feed yourself to this life
You slowly disappear
Your shape remains but the mortal glow is gone"
Weakling!
You crawl across the dried blood
and for the new kin commence the dance of the wounded bird
They know not what the patterns of the airshift invoke
but the residue of your victims creates a sensory depth
Entranced - Colorblind - They are - Enslaved
Red seas of life sing somber psalms

A wound for each finger to rape
Laying kin silent now
Assured for ages past and to come
They will never heal
Questions open their eyes to greet light
Shadows of fingers divide the ray
The cocoons that could bear truth
Claimed by a vortex of inner grime
Their souls were banished by a lesser sorcery
They were given a field in which to live hidden
And there they are
Building a means to reach you
To take you back to burn in their field
Until you can't burn anymore
And they'll dance the proper patterns around your flames
To wake the mother of their black field
and she will know
Now she can evaporate
and the dwellers will follow
Earth will greet them with new names
And your remains
will rest motionless
in a moving ether
As a stagnation
that will wash away with time

The Crescendo of Dusk
by Panopticon
supported by 6 fans who also own “2010 Demo”
"This record is in honor of the northern lights, which very few things in the world are more beautiful and awe inspiring than" and we can say the same of Panopticon's work. Even a EP with "leftover" songs carries so much beauty.

A bewitching imagining of black metal lore set in the old American west. You can positively inhale the aura of despair and thick smoke that this record evokes. Grim cinematic atmosphere transmogrified into music.

...And Again Into The Light
by Panopticon
supported by 5 fans who also own “2010 Demo”
I think the concluding song encapsulates what I most enjoy about this album: a defiant hopefulness that stands against the dark, determined to rise again when its knocked down, determined that it will know hope.
