lyrics

The brighter the flame
The deeper the shadow it casts
Engulfing canvas
Scorching the paint
Peaks flattened out
Crevices illuminated
Scenery perfect shines bright in plain sight

Yet details lay in the outline
So often dismissed
Harboring substance
Giving shape that germinates and propagates the fall

(Lead: Vrba)

Hidden in the deepest of black is the looming presence of doubt
Seemingly being dissipated by the currents of bliss
It only takes a particle to (cause a) ripple effect condition fascilitating submission and dissoluting conviction
By taking hold and spreading its clandestine filth

Spreading its filth

Taking hold and cascading down the entire structure
Adorning walls with a splendorous void
Semblance of meaning or a figment of frame
Subsided willingly with a complacent snare

Piercing through the thick of callous
Draining all the puss that gathered
Thus deepening tear in the mantle
Exposing its withered core
Unfit to (even) keep in motion
Let alone withstand the weight of the external pressure

(Lead: Jeřábek)

Desperate to find a pattern
Fixated on a compound state
Scouring the surface with unrefined glances
Forging together a hybridized strain

Cascading down
The firmament collapses without making sound
Dissolving beneath
Swirling beneath

(Lead: Vrba)

Let the sky come finally crumbling down
Tearing out masquerade pillars one by one
Brimstone and bile infecting the air
Suffocating sight (at which) you now dare to stare
Deafening silence of the landscape mourning
Brought unto ruins with insatiable yearning
