Sensus Divinitatis
So hear me
This love we feel I’ll seek again
The chains of birth won’t draw us near
Misguided hearts will fail the test
But I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna leave here
To find you with someone else
The gentle smile of the lover’s heart
Is all we’ll seek until the end
So refer to your memory
And breathe

The Writing's on the Wall
Breaking from awareness, there’s no calm here
Leaving our existence in the hemispheres
Far from our arrival, memory’s so unclear
Destiny surrounding, and my soul appears
In the dark, you’re released to find your own direction
So return to me
Burning stars obscured by light
Will shine throughout the sacred nights
But I can’t find the will to fight
An urgency surrounds me
When the night is strong as the day is long
See the writings on the wall and step aside
As the days go on and darkness comes
The skies will tell the tale
When the morning sun survives the night
Mother, carry me through this illusion
The light that covers me will burn the nation
In the ashes under water
Intensity burns from the separation
I cannot contain myself from the truth
And I cannot protect you from its fire
When the night is strong as the day is long
See the writings on the wall and step aside
As the days go on and darkness comes
The skies will tell the tale
When the morning sun survives the night
The nights are yours to own
When love is yours alone
In time we’ll move ahead
The writing’s on the wall
The days will come and go
Tonight we’ve been reborn
It’s time to move ahead
The writing’s on the wall
In union with the stars
Saturn lies awake
The writing’s on the wall
In time we will move on
The writing’s on the wall

Fear Is
05:05

Fear is
The garden of emotion
Is buried in the snow that falls tonight
From underneath the blanket,
The secrets will reveal themselves in time
With time
There’s silence in moment
When ignorance and knowledge become one
But over in the distance,
The air is charged by an unrelenting sound
A fear that calls for you
Running through streets in the dark
Counting my cards
Rising from the ashes of defeat
Searching for love
Finding the love
But the towering fortress cries deceit
You know our hopes and dreams
Are in a sense denied
You know?
Relief, I cannot sense the thought
I‘ve fallen in too deep
A victim of the nights
You know?
It’s such a perfect time for me
To reach my final fight
With time but no tomorrow
Fear is such a vicious compromise
Buried by our dreams
With hopes to touch the sky
Sober minds will weep
Drunkards will sing through the night
You know there’s no relief
The victims cry for life
It’s such a perfect time for me
To reach my final fight
With time but no tomorrow
Fear is such a vicious compromise
With such a perfect void to feed
The separation cries
A strange world with stranger sorrows
Fear will follow us!

Nafsi Ammara
Patience with no recourse
Silent moments in conversation
Tell me what I should know
And realize you are the complication
Nafsi
When madness appears
It’s tempting
And temptation is all that we’ve got
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, terrified by you
Lost without inhibition
Burning in the night, you’re failing us
Cowered by consequence
Flesh desires recognition
Nafsi
An ego ideal
Nothing
Nothing is already won
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, paralyzed by you
Lost with no inhibition
Burning in the night, you’re failing
When the world is far from sight
I will follow you
As the pictures come to light
Time will see it through
When the path has been denied
And conscience is defeated
You’ll take your guilt aside
Buried by the truth
Into the prison of the night
I will follow you
‘Til the breaking of the light
I will see it through
Picture the guardian
Overwhelmed by constant anger
Awaken the renegade
I’m over you, but under me
Nafsi
Nothing is real
Open
Open to what you reveal
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, terrified by you
Lost without inhibition
Burning out, never failing me
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, paralyzed by you
Lost without inhibition
Burning in the night
You’re failing us

Central Station
Softly broken
Words in their final ride
Flowing from lips that tremble
With feelings a heart would show
Above the coast a regal sky
Out from the station
The recreations of love
Leave us to fend for ourselves
Forward you’ll fall into my arms
Secret the words that watched you cry
The cold wind you feel might conquer you
I’d like to show you your own warmth
I feel it
I see you there at the station
Waiting for your turn again
I’ll wait here in our slumber
Night is all I fear
Calling out your name in silence
Holding on to you
I'll cover you with your own blanket
Awaken to the truth
The cold wind you feel might conquer you
I’d like to show you your own warmth
The light you shined I’ll shine on you
And we’ll never return to the station again
I feel you

Prove Yourself

Prove Yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself now
Peaceful intuitions bound by love
Deemed to reconsider dreams, or lack thereof
Tired of asking why
When words just fall away
Tears that I've denied
Are singing you songs of hate
Finding no direction, knowing nothing but my fear
Time has shifted all I’ve known again...
Another year
Take him in, into your light
Find your new dawn
Is it him you run to at night?
It’s time to move on
Trapping the secrets of your lies
Eliminating the dreams I’ve compromised
Tired of asking why
Your words just fall away
Tears that I once cried
Cower in the light of day
Prove yourself
Prove yourself now
Take him in, into your light
Find your new dawn
Is it him you run to at night?
It’s time to move on
Take him in, into your arms
Find your new dawn
It was him you ran to that night.
Time to move on

Go
I am the wisdom in love
Eternal, covered in dust
Time has taken over, rearranged our dreams
Of love deeper than life, deeper than belief
Submissive in prayer, under the gun (Come to us)
Inhaling the fragrance of love undone (Retreat from us)
It’s such a burden when you see it
There’s no return, no mystery
Look what we've done to our city
I cannot retreat, but I’ll just go
I saw the burden of proof
Internal, bothered by the truth
Now is never the time
To speak the words of possibility
When love crumbles to dust
And passion retreats
Submissive in prayer, under the gun (Come to us)
Inhaling the fragrance of love undone (Retreat from us)
It’s such a burden when you see it
There’s no return, no mystery
Look what we've done to our city
I cannot retreat, but I’ll just go
It’s such a lonely world we live in
There’s no real hope it’s fatalistic
Look what you’ve done to this mystic
I cannot retreat, but I’ll just go

Remember Me and I Will Remember You
Breaking apart the conversation
Emptiness fills the night
Reaching for the Vicodin
To help me crack a smile
Laughing at jealous revelation
Praying through whispered cries
Overwhelmed by complications
Of a promised wedding now denied
Contemplate the paradigm
What’s yours is yours and mine is mine
Eradication compromised
Blinding to the naked eye
Bonded by the past
We’ll shimmer in the light just out of view
When conversations end
Remember me and I will remember you
Burning through the complicated matters of the mind
Overcome by lovers when their battle’s undefined
Mysteries and contemplation challenge us to find
The visual contributions of the blind
Suffocate the paradigm
What’s yours is yours and mine is mine
Eradication compromised
Blinding to the naked eye
Bonded by the past
We’ll shimmer in the light just out of view
When conversations end
Remember me and I will remember you
Pictures cover the night
Anticipated colors of sacrifice
In my heart they play
In my soul betrayed
Until the ceremony
Bonded by the past
We’ll shimmer in the light just out of view
When conversations end
Remember me and I will remember you
When hearts are broken
Darkness conquer me
I’ll dim into the light in front of you
When conversation end
Remember me and I will remember you

One Day Closer to Yesterday
I. Where Mystics Unite
Into the deepest dream
Whispers hide behind a scream
It’s where I long to be with you
Below the starry skies
Where the attachment lies
My body pulls my desperate soul
So far from home
Remember fragrant nights,
And whispered lullabies?
The words maligned our subtleties
And when we all depart
Have we played our part?
As we evolve to destiny
Were we free?
Now I see you in another world
II. Aina Khana (The palace of mirrors)
Protect the garden with love
Reflection fights vindication
Repetition engraving the stone
I am all I see
Commanded in life
The servant is I
The master is my ability
Into the fire we fall
And with the smoke we’ll rise up
As the ashes below scatter with the dust
Breathing the light
Seeking the light
Healing the blind eyes so we can see
As I walk alone seeking my soul in everyone
I seem to find a part of our love
Pieces that we never found
In a sense I’ve always loved you
The palace has been redefined
III. When We Surrender
The sun is familiar, and yet a stranger to me in a way
I’ve seen this smile before
And remember the beauty that danced between us
But now I’m lost in the spaces that separate us
Crying out to the night when we’re broken
We’re chosen
Into darkness my heart ignites
And I’m open
Intuition will guide the night’s divine
Perfect knowledge into the hearts and minds
Of those seeking to find something closer
Devotion
Time is wounded deep in the night
Hearts are broken, I’m losing the fight
For life
In my heart, the chambers are cold
I’m hoping to find some peace here
Pictures burn all through the night
I’m hoping she’s out of reach… yeah
In the dark, she calls out to me
Nothing is out of reach here
A hidden world covered in dreams
What could she want from me again?
And when the morning comes
The future’s bright, but we don’t recall
With the truth I’ll take the fall
Nothing’s left for me but death
IV. An Uninterpreted Dream
Questions aside, when love has arrived
There’s nothing left but my surrender
You’ve fallen between us
The silence always lingers
And when you leave us
The first kiss will be goodbye
Supplication
Tears into the lining of my soul
Constellations
Refining what is real and what has gone
Consolation
Fabricating all we’ve said and done
Complications
V. Our Last Days
Freedom, social justice, peace, and love
The rhythm’s off, the melody is overly convoluted
Everything we’ll ever need returns to us again
I see the balance lost in most of us
And I remember both of us
Before we chose to come to Earth
To drift apart as you forgot and fell away
But I’m one day closer to yesterday
Returned to the heart of everything
Never again will I repeat
To feel, and think, and speak without integrity
A broken heart is where we’ll meet
But I’m still running to be free
From all the warning signs
One day closer to me
Closer to you
Closer

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that.

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.

The Burden of Restlessness

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL.
