lyrics

The ages fallen past me like grains of sand
In an hourglass untouchable to mortal hands
Faces come and go
Faces of heroes and friends
The only thing left letting see through to the end

I thought that i had seen enough stars burn out
To know history would pass on to someone else
Try as we might, to make it out alive
Perhaps the end is better off denied

You're out of time
Seal away
The final days
In a vault of memories
Unprecedented suffering
Into the future, would you bring
Life, will you extend your reach
For the sake of legacy
Into the uncertainty
For another you will be
The hand of torment or mercy

A child condemned to the waste
Asked to salvage our poisoned wreckage
Either way there is no way out
Of this forsaken timeline

After all, it's our own fault
Laid waste to what they would inherit
We held on for so long
But it all slipped through our fingers
Without a doubt, there will be pain
In whatever scenario proceeds today
Limitations of our last sight will bring us to end
Progenitors beckoning this cycle's end

You're out of time
Seal away
The final days
In a vault of memories
Unprecedented suffering
Into the future, would you bring
Life, will you extend your reach
For the sake of legacy
Into uncertainty
For another you will be
The hand of torment or mercy

Absolvere
by Signs of the Swarm

supported by 6 fans who also own “Hourglass”

Take everything that's brutal and mix it together on a deathcore basis. Put the seasoning Signs Of the Swarm call their own into consideration and what you get is basically Absolvere. A perfectly diverse brutal beast with the occassional addition of clean vocals that are not bad. Could have done without them though. mourner
