lyrics

Why this penalty? Is it ‘cause of me?
Why the shape I’m in? Slowly wearing thin

And so I woke up that unpropitious morning
The riskiest moment - as proven before - of the day in which I wished never to have lived
A vermin, determined to figure out just what’s been done
His father, too startled, he chases away his only son

Why this penalty? Is it ‘cause of me?
Why the shape I’m in? Slowly wearing thin

Breathe with me, seethe with me, keep me company
I need to understand my unsettling dreams
The air in my room’s begun to desecrate
Too dull and heavy to breathe at normal rate
Rejection
His father, still startled, is the root to infection

Why this penalty? Is it ‘cause of me?
Why the shape I’m in? Slowly wearing thin

A hideous form / insidious form
A hideous form / insidious form
Get me out!

Break my limbs and call me nauseous
But with me, you must stay cautious
Please forgive me, I am tortured
I can’t stand your weak exposure
Then help me…

Why this penalty? Is it ‘cause of me?
Why the shape I’m in? Slowly wearing thin

Why this penalty? Why the shape I’m in?
Is it ‘cause of me? Slowly wearing thin
Get me out, get me out of here…

Break my limbs and call me nauseous
But with me, you must stay cautious
Please forgive me, I am tortured
I can’t stand your weak exposure

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
