Who keeps the vigil
At your sickbed
Oblivious to others yet
Visible to you
A crackling whisper
From your throat
Incoherence marked by
Recognizing fear
Chorus:
Death is patient though also persistent
It knows what it wants what time decides
Though always close it never is greedy
It takes what it needs though only it knows why
Specters from beyond
Ghosts of those alive
Do they beckon you
To begin your journey
Do the discussions
That you will have
Frighten you more than
Where you will go
Chorus
Slumber will take you
'til time is ready
Dreams are the shield that
Begats the tomb
The company before (beside) you
Merely manifesting
The slow suffocation
Trapped inside your mind
Purification stand tall, a towering statue in the temple, as one of the finest DOOM acts today. A masterwork strikes in the dark of night! As others note, a distinct Type O-ish gothy vibe adds interesting new flavor to the band’s palate while the base is still 100% Purification. Rips from the rhythms, to the keys, to the sax, to the vocals, everything coming together under the dominion of THE meanest riffs you have heard in an eon of the Earth. Just stupidly delicious, thick, lush musicality. pinkytheent
