lyrics

As we speak, the clouds are drawing nearer
“Son of God, your trial’s begun.
I cannot believe it, the Unified Substance you deny…
Have you not thought of the rest?”
Without understanding, he mumbled his essence through his eyes
How does it feel to be oppressed?

Universal metamorphosis
Out of sight, it tried to flee
Down with the hall, down with the wall
While you were down after all
Always be strict and repay
Open the core, open the sore
I just can’t take anymore
Why did you go away?

New tears when thinking of you
I can’t realise you’re through
You were too proud to obtain the contra reformation
Guilt, “Who is that man whom you killed?
Think of the empire he’s built”
Get yourself to hail the contra reformation

A distant conversation, another time or place
An unexpressed frustration, another one to face
How dare you call me everything that bottled up inside?
You do not have the might…
… and then he died.

Take back what you said
By now he’ll be dead
Disgusting remark

“I can’t believe it, the Unified Substance you denied…
Have you not thought of the rest?”
Without understanding, he mumbled his essence as he lied
How did it feel to be blessed?

New tears when thinking of you
I can’t realise you’re through
You were too proud to obtain the contra reformation
Guilt, “Who is that man whom you killed?
Think of the empire he’s built”
Get yourself to hail the contra reformation

Persuade us to think
Persuade us to sync
Forget what you are
Persuade us

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
