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…

Sample acknowledgement: "The Shawshank Redemption"
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
I found this album in the morning and listened to it until after sunset. This is the heavy metal summer we didn't know we needed. Hang on tight, every aspect of this rocks. barleybase
An tempestuous post-rock journey inspired by the existential threat of climate exchange, "Triumph & Disaster" overflows with grace and grit. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 9, 2019
Boston post-punk outfit Junk Ranchers broke up in 1986 before this, their debut album, was released; darkly melodic, it's a long-lost gem. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
