about

The Seventh track from the album. Its more of a straightforward song with some Doom metal elements, Melodic Death metal and a Jazzy bridge section.

lyrics

Eaten from the inside,
slow death.
Dying eyes saw the last day.
Never more.

Take me back to innocence.
Dreams, wonder ahead
Future undecided
Ungetable fantasy

No more time left
to say goodbye,
everyone
Cycle of life

Memories start to fadeaway.
Gone all that i had.
My life became a
forgotten memory

Hourglass sand is running out,
dying before my very eyes.
Questioning the mortality
of our own life.

Why would he allow this,
questioning the existence
of a so-called wiser form.
Life cruelly ripped and torn.

No reason left to believe,
maybe when I'm old and scared.
"What lies beyond this plain?
God, please i am scared of Death".

Hourglass sand is running out,
dying before my very eyes.
Questioning the mortality
of our own life.

Hourglass sand has run out,
what happens now we don't know,
until the time comes, when
our dying sun fades.

The toilet led me here: https://toiletovhell.com/review-muka-patologija-poniznosti/ I'm glad it did. Cold, sinister, powerful, energetic, a touch of disso and some earnest aggro. I'm still digesting it but I dig it a whole lot so far. Carlos Parlos (cp49)

US Black Metal. A one man, Keeper of the Glyph (Artemis Orland), band. Some extremely catchy moments & unforgetable melodies here. I would like to call it polished raw BM because the vocals are quite raw & very haunting but the overall feel is more rounded than usual raw BM... :) Great album! Thanks Glyph! Recommended!!! bmurator
