the sun has set in shades of blood
she will heed the curse
and time will take what’s owed to time
but with every life there’s no decision
she has heard countless submission calls
stay tonight for this endless appetite
the way she moves at night across the scenery
she will burn shapes in dark light
they’ll never see it coming
death has played across her mind one thousand times
she will take your final breath and forever you’ll be longing
fallen, undead, strong but powerless...
to shed this curse
down on your knees and broken
you drive a sightless mind
heard every warning spoken and you ignored the signs
my hands are tied - a lesson learned lest i pay the price
of this sacrificial, burned out hole
seems i’ve covered in lies you missed the opportunity to save your soul
please stop chasing the cause
the way she moves.. through scenery she burns shapes in dark light
they won’t see her coming… death plays before her eyes
she will take your final breath and forever you’ll be longing
fallen, undead, strong but powerless…
...so don’t call out
Djent is a tired genre and why this is exactly, I'm unsure of. It does, however, still have its moments -- Astraeus, for example. Perhaps it's an obsession with creating interesting riffs and compelling song structures, whereas other djent bands focus on, 'how heavy can we get'. Mirrors boasts a sort of stream of consciences element, exploring a theme and moving on seamlessly with many songs blending into the next.
I also greatly appreciate the inclusion of an instrumental version.
Be Djentle.
