    Silent but distant,
    Real but not seen
    Here but not happening,
    Forever has been
    Into this absence,
    Two had but strayed
    Retracing in circles,
    They surrendered, dismayed
    Behind them, darkness
    Ahead, the unknown
    So they stood, uninvited
    ...But the roots had grown
    An error, a tangent
    A curious mind
    An instant, a lifetime
    A secret to find
    Imagined movements
    Near shimmering webs
    The Nightfall descended
    To rest by their heads
    Their feet planted firmly
    'Neath four darting eyes
    With pupils dilated,
    They counted the sighs
    The dream and the waking
    Occurring together
    Realising, then
    That it mattered not whether
    Their legs fading into
    A curding moss
    Their lungs slowly filling
    With decades of loss
    That scent form the forest
    Not taking, not giving
    They knew only this -
    Not buried, not living
    Their stagnating veins
    Now hidden from view
    In skin for the willow
    And bone for the dew
    The dream and the waking
    Ending together
    Understanding then
    It had not mattered, ever

    The melodic riff that plays at 3:16 and which can be heard through out the song is absolutely amazing. I have always loved Be'lakor for this, throwing in great melody and being able to combine it with so many other elements to create masterful songs. Very well done with this new album guys, loving it so much. I'll also note how great that album art work is, really like that image.

    It's so weird... I look up google to see how to cope in a dystopian world, and I am of course, a Be'lakor fan although not in a traditional way, such that I've obsessively listened to about 7-8 songs by them over the years, one on loop every day for two months at least as I was contemplating my own ultimate exit, so I've kind of devolved my love for music down to therapy, and it's weird that this song I've heard for the first time off this old album, was in my feed right after search.
    The algorithm has become scary. My gender's soon going to be replaced by bots, it'll all sneak in in broad daylight when my species' other gender thinks nothing of it because they are safe yet, as it's always been between the powerful and the powerless, rich vs poor and poor vs poorer, young vs old and boss vs subordinate and the subordinate vs his subordinate, master vs slave, slave vs his wife, on and on, everyone in their own good time, thus it'll sneak in in broad daylight, lay itself onto you, subsume and do you in, you'll have no sympathy the way you've offered none, no physical body to teach empathy and restart, in your own good time.
    I'd once said, from an older and now deleted account, that Kosmas was a poet. I cannot ever know what he's talking about but when delivered as part of this incredible music and in words that convey an unmistakable atmosphere despite the intended ambiguity, I remember that it's the atmosphere along with the ground I stand on from which all life springs, it's all stardust combinations charted on what we call the periodic table, energy and the different ways in which it condenses and takes form and then combines with its other forms... It really doesn't matter, the mechanism is the same, the way that atmosphere and what it encloses and subsumes function is the same. It doesn't matter what he says when what I can take from it is limited to me as well as what he could possibly say, to him. Doesn't matter what it sneaks up on first but that it sneaks, same dystopia as it was, has been and will be. Might as well enjoy the fact that those like me will abandon the game first, by force or will. In this continuity, with the same boring game that doesn't care about you and will prevail, with your reflection in the mirror telling you that you somehow still exist, it doesn't matter at all when you wake up. Once you do, you can never get back. And it's a dystopia from then on till the world does away with you and you, with the world. The blink of an eye becomes endless torture, but see, that blink is all you've ever known, and that’s why you created the word "long". Some things just take too long in that blink.

Propably why it doesn't seem forced, when growling. And the changing rythm and riffs in each of their songs, really is nothing less than perfect.
