about

Featuring a guest solo in the final moments of the track from guitarist and producer Gottfrid Norberg Waxin, hailing from the bitter cold of Sundsvall, Sweden.

All composition, arranging and producing credits go to Ian Waye.

lyrics

A life left unspoken
Frivolous and benign
Broken from the grips of Hades
Washed clean by the pyres oil

The gods must be appeased
For a mortal man to save his hide
By the hand of Prometheus
The offering is unearthed

Gifted with the wings of Hermes
The pyres oil is lit
Useless design within foul hands
Quasi-carrion denied the flame\

A birth of common rabble
No family to his name
Blinded by the Hellenistic terror
Running back from whence you came

Eluding the iron fist of the law
A decree spit upon the ground
In feeble attempt to cage an animal
Evoking a nihilistic rage

Man of mediocrity
Blessed by the hand of Tyche
Chosen by the tongue of Atropos
Etched into the threads of reality

A martyr, stepping towards the dark
Bleeding the truth for the forsaken
Traveling through the land
Speeding the lies of the tormented

Running to the edges of the earth
A path defined by fear
Looking into the death dealers eye
In search of a better way to die

Lies! Treachery and Hate!
Tied by the tongue of Pandora
The gods have laid their plans
They are unhappy with thee

Riding the tides of the sea
Visions of Phlegethon and Cocytus
Is death the end?
Or just the beginning?
