From the recording Carpe Noctem
Lyrics
Gray day with unrelenting rain
A promise of rage within the clouds
The asphalt is slick and darker
Like a mirror distorted by dust
It’s bleak now
It’s harsh now
Colder still and bolder
It’s violent
Conflicted
Do you hear it howl?
Pretender
You used the storm to mask your voice
Pretender
Heavy are the lies upon your crown
It’s twisting and writhing in place
Like a sick and feral hound
There is no light in the eye
Only consuming shadow
It’s still now
It’s calmed down
Echoes in the clouds
Survey the damage done
And begin anew
Pretender
You used the storm to mask your voice
Pretender
Heavy are the lies upon the crown
Pretender
Elemental rage unbound
A whispered shout
Pretender
A twisting feral hound wears the asphalt crown
Pretender
The darkness lifting, beguiling mist
Pretender
Become cold pale, face the storm
