Ett hjärta som blöder förlorar blod för varje slag. Till sist så slutar det att funka, slutar det att pumpa.
En rädsla som växer, som blir för stor för lilla jag. Till sist så slutar jag att känna, slutar jag att undra hur vår framtid skulle se ut.
Allt som jag ville ha trodde jag fanns i dig, men du valde att dra och inte kämpa för mig. Jag sade allt, allt som jag kunde, jag var tvungen. Men orden förlorar mening, som betydelselösa för dig.
En kärlek som somnar, blir för trött för du och jag. Till sist så går den inte väcka, så sover den för alltid.
En röst som tystnar, inte säger vad som är fel. Till sist så räcker inte orden, så räcker inte ens kärleken till.
Allt som jag ville ha trodde jag fanns i dig, men du valde att dra och inte kämpa för mig. Jag sade allt, allt som jag kunde, jag var tvungen. Men orden förlorar mening, som betydelselösa för dig.
Jag gjorde allt jag kunde, jag gav dig allt jag hade.
Men ibland så måste något brinna ner till grunden för att det ska kunna växa igen. Som du sa.

A Heart Set on Fire and Then Left Fallow
A heart which bleeds loses blood with each beat. Until it stops working, stops beating.
A fear which grows, which towers over tiny me. Until I stop feeling, I stop wondering what our future would look like.
Everything I wanted, I thought was there within you, but you chose to leave and not fight for me. I said everything, everything I could, I had to. But words lose their purpose, they become meaningless to you.
A love that falls asleep becomes too tired for you and I. Until you can’t awaken it, until it sleeps forever.
A voice that falls silent, not saying what is wrong. Until words aren’t enough, until love isn’t even enough.
Everything I wanted, I thought was there within you, but you chose to leave and not fight for me. I said everything, everything I could, I had to. But words lose their purpose, they become meaningless to you.
I did everything I could, I gave you all I had.
But sometimes things need to burn to the ground, so it can grow anew. Like you said.

This album is haunting, beautiful, and cathartic. One of the best post-black metal albums out there. I bought a cd on Discogs, but needed the vinyl. Доберман Сатз

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
