One of two songs to feature blastbeats on this album; we really dialed them back for this release. The vocal break before the solo is one of our favourite melodies.
lyrics
Regrets are not penance
Of this, I am sure
I'm drowning in sorrow
For the pain they've endured
Ravaged by plagues
Cast out by disease
Hear now our plea
It offers no relief
And no escape
Our home below the waves
Until the end of our days
Til the end of our time
In leagues beyond, the sea
In fathoms afar we breathe
We are the heart of the sea
Wishing only for peace
From the past I have left
But the aching goes on
My labours undone
Such a fitting end for the shell I've become
Just what I hoped to see
No mercy for me
Penance
For your silence
Dark are the depths
Keeping us at bay
Forcing us away
Pregnant
Is this moment
With a will to fight
Forcing you to stay
Live another day
Reshape my thoughts
But it's just never enough
The darkness is long
The shadow lies ahead
I turn to dust
Waiting as long as I must
The darkness is gone
And my end lies ahead

One of the only bands whose beat blasts through your headphone and still sounds melodic. What an album!
And there's more but I'll leave you to it! QuarkStorm
