BORN OF EMPTY LIGHT
POUR FROM THE GRAVEYARD IN THE EMPTY SKY
FEEL SO MUCH OLDER NOW, OLDER THAN YOU AND I
SHE HATES THE FACE OF HUMANKIND

BELIEVE... JOURNEY OF THE SPIRIT
ALONE... FREE TO WALK THE EARTH
DEVOID... WILL TO SIMPLY STRIVE ON
AFLAME... CROSSING EARTH'S SPINE
MADE TO DIE BUT LIVE BY HUNTING DEATH,
ACROSS THE WORLD
GIVE TO ME THE STRENGTH TO STEAL THE BREATH,
FROM MY ENEMY
FOES WILL SPEAK THE DARK AND PAINFUL TRUTH,
BITTER, LEARN FROM IT
PASS BEYOND OUR HOME THE HOLY WORLD,
SWALLOWS OUR LOVE
CLOAK OF ICE AND FLESH OF ANCIENT STONE,
GHOST KILLING THRONE
CLIMB ABOVE THE REACH OF STARVING PAIN,
RAIN WASH AWAY
DEAD OLD SELVES THEY ROT WITH CHAPTER CHANGE,
FOOD FOR NEW LIVES
SAD OLD PATHS BEHIND AND BURIED LEAVES,
LIKE WOLVES WE GRIEVE
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
"This record is in honor of the northern lights, which very few things in the world are more beautiful and awe inspiring than" and we can say the same of Panopticon's work. Even a EP with "leftover" songs carries so much beauty. Thetruebia
I think the concluding song encapsulates what I most enjoy about this album: a defiant hopefulness that stands against the dark, determined to rise again when its knocked down, determined that it will know hope. archival_blob
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
