upon the path i chose to achieve,
i left myself stranded for i wanted to believe in something bigger than me.
and after all this time walking on my own i realized that i was never alone.
the god i seek is me.
now fate is powerless.
this altered state progressing towards the unity of my will and desires.
bestow upon my will the power to let go.
or i'll never get to see the light again.
falling appart is the best way to regain the ability to smile again.
the loss of sleep i felt it crawling inside.
i feared losing my dreams more than losing my mind.
i've been within the darkest reaches of myself.
this blackened state; ever present presence spreads contagion.
now i can say that i have finally won.
to lose my life is better than never getting to live at all.
i feel alive, i've never felt this way before.
oh mother, how i wish i learned to breathe before this.
this blazing sky with colors burning my eyes.
i feel alive, i feel alive.
i can't keep lying to myself thinking that my end never comes.
i've been this way before. i've been this way before.
i can't keep lying to myself thinking my life won't come undone.
i've been this way before. hoping that my end never comes.
i feel alive, i've never felt this way before.
to turn my back against the flames scorching my lungs.
i feel alive, i can't say i know what life is for.
oh father, your wisdom is burning like the sun.
is this the end ?
i have come a long way, and now i am here.
the foot in the door, my conscience is cleared.
i've come to believe that we're not even close to fathom this life that we've got.
we are condemned to search for meaning; a requiem honoring the persons we used to be.
i am now free. now i can breathe.
i am now free. how can this be ?
i am alive.
if nothing lasts forever, then why should i ?
i feel contempt towards my own demise.
no need for sympathy.
now i can count the stars until the end comes for me.
i've never wanted to change the world i just wanted to search for peace,
and now that it is found this place holds nothing for me.
this world is nothing like the way we think it is.
nothing to cry for, nothing to miss.
except the animals befriended for a while.
the ones that say your name, the ones that makes you smile.
i can't believe i won't get to see this world unfold.
i'm kind of glad, i'd never want to live that old.
my thread is thinning, my blood is running cold.
burning the last speck of this empty useless soul.
this life means nothing.
i will die smiling.

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire
