about

Here is the first single from our upcoming full-length album -

π‘Ύπ’Šπ’π’, π‘Όπ’π’•π’Šπ’ π‘©π’†π’‚π’–π’•π’š

☼ ☼ ☼

Apollo's Lament is written as a testament to the necessity of sculpting the highest version of oneself. It is a grim portent of a future in which this challenge is not met with conscientousness and strength. Implicit in this song is a choice- struggle and rise, or suffer the price of cowardice.

lyrics

Here I have come to the end
Of what was my world

Rust away the shackles that bind me
Once a slave, now freedom is daunting
Waste away, the hedons deforming
I've lost my way
Rust away the shackles that bind me
Once a slave, now freedom is daunting
Waste away, the hedons deforming
On this day I shunned the light of life

My end, my end was nigh
The depths had rotted my insides
I said goodbye
I said

On my own
So overwhelming
So alone
Shunning the light of day
Far from home
So overwhelming
I'm so alone
It needed to be this way

Self contradiction is so far the only way out of this hell that has taken my life away
I don't want it anymore
I don't want to be what I abhor

Our end, our end is nigh
The last man rotted our insides
Today we say goodbye
The door is closing

There is no will to change
You change nothing
And pray to be saved

Where will our choices lead us now
Will we succumb to rot
Where will the current carry us
Will it be all for naught
