lyrics

With the demeanor of the disappearing moon
Ebbing the tides and perceiving the vacant shore

Written word biding farewell to the corruption - left behind

obtaining the conviction
to never turn back
Living by strength alone
Uninhibited by emotion
That requires a glass jaw

Reshaping
these relics of axiom

By never submitting to the parasites of anguish
Enduring the floods of tribulation
As the earth beneath splinters apart

Not the first to feel left for dead
While inquest to discover a sanctum
that represents the harmony of the spectators
Who were all once one.
Marked by the disdain
to summon alive woe
and cut it down with a jagged edge.
Cremated to be forgotten
Losing the sense of apprehension

Insight of the consequence
Of the winding narrow stretch
that is composed of baneful catch 22's

Be a foundation
even for those
Who wish for me to be cauterized.
Cleansed by flame.

Censure for persisting loyalty
In a theory that Pangaea is not so unattainable
a figurative continent with no boundaries

Paradigms that preach
Entropic times are to come here after
but i will not falter
FOR I HAVE FAITH that there is more
To each significance
with these verses
the seal of weakness upon this resolve is diminished

Grasp these hands that remain tattered
Brothers and sisters
Still gasping for air
Follow the compass in the sky
and in Zion we will finally rest.

Go!

Forlorn nomads
with severed ties
To a life barren of substance.

Built this way
To go to war
with a myriad
of abhorrent ideals
The tragic beginning bringing forth a beautiful ending

The North Carolina metal group As Oceans has been described as crushing and furious with a unique take on heavy music. Earth-moving guitar riffs paired with vicious vocals and pounding drums, As Oceans grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. As Oceans’ music hauntingly fits with what is alluded through their name; a force of vast power and infinite mystery. ... more
