All that remains is grey. What grew once sacred and plentiful beneath the sun withers in decay, only preserved by the cyclical freezing of the northern winter... Its beauty long engulfed in the fade, Wilting, wilting, but an echo, all that remains: The lightless skeleton of hope’s glimmer. The sheen of ice, it’s apocryphal shimmer. This life fades, but the flesh persists. Enjoyment stripped by the passing of time. Suffering banality for an irreconcilable end... The wilt of foliage and the melting of rime. As the heart beats fast and the fear sets in, all is still beneath the winter sun. As nauthiz is carved into flesh and bone What exists in the soul speaks when alone. As the heart beat slows and hypothermia sets in, all is still beneath the winter sun. As isa is carved into flesh and ice what exists in the heart will come to the light. “Nuestra patética existencia agrega demasiado peso. Lo que una vez fue sagrado. Ahora no tiene verdades. Nuestra residencia temporal Causando daño permanente. El corazón de la tierra se desangra solo quedan eskeletos” (lyrical contribution and guest vocal by Victor Sanchez) The only constant is change The gears continue to grind with the hand of man’s aid. Only we are to blame for the treasure we bury and lose, for pride painted over the shame... ...And the mire’s death is suspended til the coming of spring, ....And the song bird flies south and continues to sing, ....And the warmth resumes the rot that we know it will bring, The horror is knowing our endeavors will not amount to a thing.

about

This track is from the new album " The Rime of Memory". It features guest vocals by my friend Victor Sanchez and a choir comprised of many of my collaborators ( Andrea from Exulansis, William from Dalla Nebia, and Andy ,whom yall know as the bass player from our live band.) Patrick Urban (Dämmerfarben) wrote and performed Cello, Charlie Anderson returned to collaborate on this album on fiddle, and we had a great time recording and arranging together.

This is being released today because SO many of you wrote the county commissioner to advocate for the continued permit issuing for FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS...which is one of the best outdoor metal festivals in the world. So thank you so much!
I hope you'll enjoy the song and thank you again.
Pre orders for the album will be coming towards the end of summer, and expect a release right around when the snow returns to northern Minnesota...late fall ....

thank you again.
Don't let the fire burn out!!!
Austin
