Open your eyes, let the light consume you
Embrace the feeling of the night that which will take you in
Your body begins to succumb to the mind
Leaving conciousness behind
You find yourself lost in lucidity
Though you're not awake
You'll never escape
Embrace the nightmare turned reality
Open my eyes, I find myself face to face with myself
A mirror, the centerpiece of this claustrophobic space
I feel its embrace, though I can't seem to find
a way to escape my own mind
The walls start to close in around me
Any chance of escape is astounding
I push with all my might
Or i'll never get a chance to see the other motherfucking side
Of the broken mirror
This pressure wont seem to subside
Breaking down the walls
Breath becomes intoxicating
I can't seem to find
A way to escape my own mind
Darkness consumes me
Just as the light before
My subconcious drifting away
My life starts to fade
Into obscurity
Nothing before me
I open my eyes, granting me mortality
Seeping out of the blurry haze
Broken glass, in my eternal gaze
Blood adorns the walls around me
A familiar scene, awakens me
My reflection through the glass
A vicious cycle, never to pass
As you open your eyes
You're soon to understand
You're in a cycle, a maze, of endless torment and fear
The clock is ticking
Your time is running out
Soon you'll come to see, the light is not what you hope it to be
Why must this be happening to me
I can't seem to find a way out of my mind
The walls begin to close in again
I look up, and it catches my eye
I reach for the stars, and pray for my life
Lost in my mind
Not sure what i'll find
There's surely a way to break free to the light
Run towards the night
Run towards the light
Run towards the night
Run towards the light
Overwhelmed with sensation, the light consumes me
I've escaped the space but entered seclusion
Seeking solace in a new world around me
Eyes wide open, engulfed by the night
It seems that I'm in an empty vessel once more
An open space, with bodies lined up door to door
The light goes black, theres no going back
Venture forth, so I can find a way out of my mind
Breathing becomes nauseating the deeper I find myself in this nightmare
I trek forth, my vision starts to tunnel as
my throat opens up
Air is rushing out of my lungs
The pressure builds as the worms crawl up through my cavity
Oh my god
Every second feels like eternity
I can't breath
It's taking over me
I look to the ground and find
A lifeless body, that appears to be mine
Smoke fills the air, as the stench of death lingers in despair
How could this be? I lie before me
I've dreamt of a mirror but it shattered me
Finding solace as i escape my mind
Release me now, a noble sacrifice
Free me from this mortal coil
And as you close your eyes, one last time
You've come to find, your only escape lied within the confines of your own mind
You chose to vanquish in your own suffering
Breathe, one more breath
One last time
Embrace your death
Close your eyes
My heart stops
Suffocating
I've found peace
In escaping my mind

Pity that I could not find the deluxe edition with LoG's Laid to Rest. Nevertheless I wanted to add Elegy to my BC collection. It's unique as it is a delightful mix of symphony and deathcore. The vocals are just the perfect "5th element" that allows both styles to intertwine perfectly. Ben Duerr is the perfect vocalist for this role. The Elegy trilogy at the end is just the apotheose of death-gasm, it's a good trip down to memory lane as I've seen S.O.I. live last year! sachavonkarl74

Had this album in my other music platform (the fruity one) first after seeing Viscera at the Z7 in Pratteln, but decided to get Carcinogenesis and this one on BC too, to support the band. sachavonkarl74

Archspire is wholly unique for their ability to write music that is this insanely technical, but also actually catchy and memorable. Absolutely one-of-a-kind band. Kadin Wisniewski
Chicago deathcore outfit Into the Silo torch everything in sight on this searing new LP with riffs that will leave bruises. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2022
