    LYRICS:
    Follow me to Alshain toward a fiery grave
    We have spun a web of worlds, spinning out of control
    I crossed the other side
    But I was brought back
    The air sucked from my lungs
    My hull was cracked
    The dust sifted in
    Like an hourglass
    It sealed my ship
    And I was in tact
    Hourglass between worlds
    Emptiness on the side that employs
    The upper hand
    Recharging the void
    Each half of the cosmic breath
    Moved by a void
    With our lungs at capacity
    Recharging the void
    Follow me to Alshain toward a fiery grave
    We have spun a web of worlds, spinning out of control
    We’ve lived beyond our years
    And now we hear our calling
    We’ve outlived our pillars falling, falling
    I must return to Alshain
    To release our clutch
    Terminal redux
    Like our star at its end
    Time will warp in the space we bend
    As we burst to our stellar tomb
    Its planets will be consumed
    Hourglass between worlds
    Emptiness on the side that employs
    The upper hand
    Recharging the void
    Each half of the cosmic breath
    Moved by a void
    With our lungs at capacity
    Recharging the void
    All the things we’ve destroyed
    But there is one thing left: bring balance through our death
    The Cygnus tide can be restored
    To a cosmic state
    Before man perverted it
    Before we staked our claim
    Ultimate sacrifice
    To revive the flux
    Turning back, a shrinking world
    Too small for us (x2)
    Illuminate what remains
    From a time when all sanctions were hallowed
    And our freedoms sucked straight from our marrow
    To bleed after refrain
    All we knew was the suffering
    Away, all of the shame and the sorrow
    Only hoping for endless tomorrows
    We look to cold, shimmering skies
    Feel the light passing by
    There’s no light that reflects from our gallows
    Planets stricken to live in the shadows
    Of cold, shimmering skies
    All we ask is our story be told
    To young, beckoning, yearning worlds
    Who are struggling to be as one
    We are the light from a dying sun
    In darkness we will remain
    Feel the light piercing your eyes
    Open the skies to the Cygnus tide
    Countdown to the end
    The Terminal descends
    Into Alshain’s cloud
    To be kept under shroud
    Rulers of life
    We’ve seen the limits of our minds
    Our foresight is blinded by our bias
    To which we cannot hide
    Cygnus is calling (Sung in unison) Bound to our graves
    The pillars are falling (x6)… In stellar remains (x6)
    Cygnus is calling
    From beyond the grave
    It rises once again
    With balance staved we make amends
    A ruler without plots or schemes
    Of cosmic law, we could only dream
    I heed the Cygnus call
    A symbol for life and death’s resolve
    Our fate implodes upon our crux
    The Terminal is set to self-destruct
    Relic Alshain
    Oh Shahin-i-tarazu
    I return my flesh to you

  • @xxczerxx

    This must be terrifying to other metal bands that thought they were pushing the boundaries. This is on another level. The tension, the build up, the general songwriting and how you reprise Charging the Void's theme but with little embellishments and inflections.... and that fucking spine tingling climax, best metal moment in years. Amazing!

    • @Syklonus
      @Syklonus 5 лет назад +18

      Well, not really. It's all subjective and it depends what you mean by "pushing the boundaries". In a technical sense then I wholeheartedly agree. They're amazing, and their blend of thrash and black metal is really one of the most acerbic things I've ever heard.
      However, technical ability isn't everything. To be that technical and that progressive there has to be a sacrifice of basic repetitious hooks and overall catchiness, and believe it or not, being mega technical isn't universally appealing. Some folk just like a good riff and a straight beat, but bands like Vektor and Absu don't tend to stay on the same section or riff for very long.
      I'm a fan of both and I do love Vektor, but I can totally see why some people don't. At the end of the day there is no best, there is only favourite.

      @scyphe 3 года назад +4

      This gives me absolutely nothing. It's like a thrashy version of Dragonforce with Dani Filth on vocals. There's no groove or emotion, just quantize-precision riffs that are more than just similar to the riffs from a hundred previous thrash metal bands. The only difference is the technical aspects of the rhythms and faux-progressive metal elements. But that's just my personal and very subjective opinion (it's hard to impress someone who's been listening to Opeth since 1996).

    8:01 is probably the best part of the entire album.

    "Illuminate what remains
    From a time when all sanctions were hallowed
    And our freedoms sucked straight from our marrow
    To bleed after refrain
    All we knew was the suffering
    Away, all of the shame and the sorrow
    Only hoping for endless tomorrows
    We look to cold, shimmering skies
    Feel the light passing by
    There's no light that reflects from our gallows
    Planets stricken to live in the shadows
    Of cold, shimmering skies
    All we ask is our story be told
    To young, beckoning, yearning worlds
    Who are struggling to be as one
    We are the light from a dying sun
    In darkness we will remain"
