We each are a mystery a self contained exception
Travellers in a world of wonder, of intrigue and deception
To find another life, a light to house ourselves
Is the trick just to understand, and the challenge to dispel
Silence broken
Fears spoken
Effortless illusion
Two selves in union
We strain to maintain the two of us
We try to see eye to eye for both of us
The world contains no plan, no connection between lives
Yet we find ourselves so entangled in our partner’s eyes
Love is not a solo jaunt nor a truth to be sure
But a power held between two bodies that endure
Love is fickle like the wind
Can so easily change its course
But knowing when to follow its flow
Is knowing how to harness the force
Love can touch us like a flame
Burns hot and then retreats
But with care you can grasp the heat
With equal force you can make it complete
We strain to maintain the two of us
We try to see eye to eye for both of us
We strive to keep the love alive
To hold and make strong the forge of our bond
We find through shades of our lives still two of us
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
Mind-flaying brutal technical death metal that will pulverize you to smithereens while its complex structures stun your cerebral cortex. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2022
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
