lyrics

Beyond indifference
Howling hope
Trying to conquer her disease
Cinderella’s pushing trees
Don’t we all?
Body’s crescent
Effervescent
Beauteous, tender as a summer breeze
Incandescent I will be

The hourglass must fall
To spill away the grain
Time runs out for all
None can here remain
Between the cryptic lines
Wings clipped so one flees
With death that stalks the vines
Cinderella’s pushing trees

This is where I want to go
This is where I want to be
This is why I cannot breathe
This excruciating pain is me

Cinderella’s pushing trees
Body’s crescent
Effervescent
Frail, unstable as a summer breeze
Incandescent I will be

Utterance can not capture
The enthropy
That chokes me from within
A glaring void consuming
All doubt, regret and grief
Fading in the eye
As an Autumn painting burnt
Futile endeavour
My face will dry
High time to leave it all behind

This is where I want to go
Clear my mind and cleanse my soul of sin
This is why I cannot breathe
And it worsens every single day

Figuring out her mysteries
Cinderella’s pushing trees
Don’t we all?
Body’s crescent
Effervescent
Labelled “Fable, without guarantees”
Incandescent she will be

You gave me that feeling again
One I hadn’t felt for too long a time...
You were everything I could wish for
And I didn’t care about anyone else
I wanted you for me
I wanted you for myself...

But now I can’t say enough how sorry I am...
I never wanted this to happen...
I never meant to hurt you...
You gave me your trust
And I wrecked it all...
I wrecked everything...

The wakened dream is lost
Beyond a hope, forgotten
As dawn thus claims the cost
When love is ill begotten
The hourglass must fall
To spill away the grain
Time runs out for all
None can here remain

Looking sideways
Not feeling less convicted
Nowadays, living more restricted
On a path towards relief
Surrounded by trees of grief

From Jupiter to cypher
Turning quietly insane
A confidence depriver
Alone, we both remain
Ineluctable decline
Always holding off for signs

I am doing this to me
I am doing this to myself

Incandescent
Effervescent
Body’s vescent

Cinderella
Cinderella Pushing Trees
Pushing Trees

Will he succeed?
Will she not bleed?
Failing, as foreseen

about

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
