lyrics

The last salvation
Salvation of the dead
A weird sensation
Is running through my head

This is agony – mortality – in me
But I will not subdivide it
No, I will not coincide with it
He wanders with his head held down… Ooh

My destination
Is still to be outlined
His transformation
And I have been entwined

This is agony – mortality – in me
But I will not subdivide it
No, I will not coincide with it
He wanders with his head held down… Ooh

And with his head fully immersed in regret
Think positive, this life just ain’t over yet
The mirror shows another sight of myself
Metamorphosis, another one I will shelve
Organic change, I feel it inside of me
Messianic range, this can’t be done easily
My body altering into my son’s oppressive cage
I wonder if my faith would help me out to disengage

I am not a wise man
Little did I know
Losing you would ever hurt this much
Inside

The last salvation
Salvation of the dead
The weird sensation
Stopped running through my head

This is agony – mortality – in me
But I will not subdivide it
No, I will not coincide with it
He wanders with his head held down… Ooh

Agony – mortality – in me
But I will not subdivide it
No, I will not coincide with it
He wanders with his head held down… Ooh

As tongues are burning
The time is running back
Is there deliverance
When eyes have gone black?

Release me…

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
