1. Prologue -------
Every day is a résumé as the sun appears and I start to pray for changes to happen fast
- I’m hoping for changes to happen fast -
Yet again you should listen and take the upper hand as the high command that did before you in the past
- Do as they did before you in the past -
Rise – Levels of despise, dressed up and disguised
Taking no advice from the coloured …
Skies – It ain’t over yet, watching as lights spread
Faithful to forget the one name she (taking life when she wishes)
Set – Picking up the thread, clouds remain undead
In debt with what we yearn, taking every …
Turn/ing towards the sun, fears are overwon
See how it begun, they have become …
One – “Miracles and madness are now me
I am not my mother’s amputee”
2. The 400 -------
“Your mother’s pure dishonour”, or so she made believe
To understand correctly, simply exchange the real motif
Ancient Aztec writings prophesied a torn plateau
“I have convinced my younger brothers, standing there below”
Each one – “Miracles and madness are now me”
This is not what daughters ought to see
“I hold the key to endless powers
Follow me and demolish your own blood”
3. Death of Coatlicue -------
I am… the sun
4. Rise of Huitzilopochtli -------
My mother and the sun… became one
“I hold the key to endless powers
Follow me, we’ve demolished our own…”
“Bow your head to the Mighty Sun God
I have risen and will haunt all of you”

Lochs of empty water
Curling waves of nothingness
Hatred and her daughter
Instantaneously coalesce
I know my sister’s thoughts should never be misread
A notion of the dead, shapeless figurines
Beside my precious twin
I’m assigned here to protect
A murderous conspiracy
Bloodshed’s architect
I know / Guiding my sister’s thoughts
I know / Deep into the underworld
I know / In death
Enemy – Enemy – Enemy
Repelling – Repelling – Repelling
In death I reign
In death, in vain
In death I reign
In death, in vain
Another reason for distress
In death I reign
In death I reign (In death I reign)
In death, in vain (In death I reign)
In death I reign (In death I reign)
In death, in vain
In death, in pain
In death I reign (In death I reign)
In death

The Crying Apostle

“Tell me I’m a noble Christian and lie”
Bless those who have suffered and who’ve found a life in God’s enrichment
He reveals his tale
When the faith becomes irresistible
There is no room for opinion
Didn’t you foresee this outrageous blasphemy?
His knees are bended and his hands are one, his head is raised and he prays
The Crying Apostle dries his eyes, willing to sacrifice
Behold this crucifix
Beaten onto his spine
Attacked with stones and sticks
He’s torn inside his mind
His deeds have sentenced him
To a religious life
His halo’s dirty rim
Has a severe disguise
Absolutely nothing shall remain
- He withdraws all the laws about his own restriction -
The honour is mine to neglect all that’s divine
Reach out and forgive and I shall live
His knees are bended and his hands are one, his head is raised and he prays
The Crying Apostle dries his eyes, willing to sacrifice
Behold this crucifix
Beaten onto his spine
Attacked with stones and sticks
He’s torn inside his mind
His deeds have sentenced him
To a religious life
His halo’s dirty rim
Has a severe disguise
Hear their accusations… But do they know the real truth?
They will never quench the fire in me
- Mostly lies they use to undermine the fire in me -
In the history of time I am nothing more than the blink of an eye, and even I don’t know why

Shrine of August Herent, Belgium
Shrine of August is the solo project of Belgian drummer / songwriter Steve Vanderperren. After many years playing various genres, the time was right to bring together all ideas and influences from his musical beginning till today. To sum it all up, the term "Prog Noir" came up. Progressive elements will definitely remain, but the emphasis is on the music itself, not necessarily its technicality. ... more
