1.	REJECTED 02:20	lyrics	buy track
I gave my all to the exacerbation of chaos And from that fog I was convicted by the Lord our God What folly! I’ve seen too much Such arbitrary vices! The mist of desperate longing Philosophies of grandeur Seeking some distant answers Twisted necromancers Musings of discordant dancers When I gaze into The simplicity The compassionate heart of God I knock The door is opened Wondrous and terrible Is the will of the Father - a miracle! To dwell in the house of the Lord Forever

Strangely dim Guarded but so reflective Eyes in my head Yet I still walk in darkness Seen it all, yet blind Held it all in my hands Slipped through like sand And though I labor on Despair over the vanity under the sun This life is a vapor Strangely dim Guarded but so reflective Eyes in my head Yet I still walk in darkness
4.	LIFE // DEATH 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Life A flicker Death In but a single breath Woe to those beneath the sun Who have seen the evil work thereunder Regard my heart In your spirit The vengeance Of the Father I fear it Life a flicker Death In but a single breath Broken vessels Heed the Word Wretch that I am I have no hope In my own works for salvation I’m at the end of my rope

6.	CREATOR 02:43	lyrics	buy track
Awoken with conscious awareness Petrified by this fatal condition What steps can I take to ensure I do not ensnare my own feet before me? Seeking Wisdom To know my Creator To not die before my time But cherish this meaningless life Exhausted from chasing the wind Exhausted from chasing the wind Set my hands to plow Set my eyes on You Exhausted from chasing the wind Empty apart from Him Fear of the Lord The beginning of Wisdom

about

This EP was written & recorded at the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024. The lyrical themes center on the book of Ecclesiastes.

This project features elements of metal, downtempo electronic, shoegaze, soundscapes, and orchestral passages.

The sample in English at the beginning of "PASSAGE" is from a tape of a speaking engagement by Richard Wurmbrand.

The sample in Russian at the end of "PASSAGE" is from the 1969 film adaptation of "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
It states:
”…beauty is not only fearful, but also mysterious. Here the devil is struggling with God, and the battlefield is the human heart.”
