Where Now

Ubi sunt qui ante nos fuerunt?
Ubi sunt qui ante nos fuerunt?
Ubi nunc...
Ubi nunc.
Where are the stars
To which our weary souls depart?
A dreamscape superimposed on the dark.
Bound to the sea -
Transfixed on the rippling skies we see.
Drown in search for our own piece of heaven;
Down from the break, we still descend.

Dismantled
04:15
|
|||
|
Bound to an oceanbed of looming demise;
Clawing at the sands of ever escaping time.
In the darkened depths, your desperation's malign
Is keeping your eyes deceivedly blind - but still the hourglass turns:
Tipping the sands, the time comes to stand, anxiety becomes yearn;
Turning your eyes, return to the sky, and see the surface's benign
Hand
Is reaching down -
But will you take it?
Grasping for light, the illuminate sky, penetrating the night that is over-encompassing;
Loosing the sands that cemented in place my temporal essence, I begin my resurfacing;
Yet from the depths trails a shadow, outstretched with malicious intent to infect with dubiety;
Cresting the break, an ambition awakes to dismantle, remake what the depths made me.
I will
(I will break free)
Break free
(Free from the)
Shadows binding me
(Blinding me).
I will
(I will break down)
Break down
(Down to)
Dismantle and rebuild
(Dismantling me).
Open my eyes to see the sky
Open my eyes to see I've died.
The albatross clenches its claws around my throat;
I've withered away at the bed of the sea and watched as my future choked.
Open my eyes just to realise I've died;
Inside
My mind
Too blind to recognise;
Benighted
Sight
Denied to life; my
Vitality's slipping away from me -
Withered away beneath the sea;
The sands turn skyward - I'm released,
Yet now I've forlorn piety.
Upon the shores I start to breathe
But still the albatross seethes.
Open my eyes just to realise I've died.
I will
(I will break free)
Break free
(Free from the)
Shadows binding me
(Blinding me).
I will
(I will break down)
Break down
(Down to)
Dismantle and rebuild
(Dismantling me).

Only One
03:49
|
|
||
|
Crossing the threshold, finding
A vacant wasteland of my own;
Every step predicating
Never ending suffering inside.
The shadow's never fading -
Stretched thin, the will to find resolve;
A feeling unescaping
Never ending search to find
A life worth living
But only finding
Suffering inside of my own head.
Watching the skies
Through virgin eyes
You'll see the smoke from the fire
But never see it expire.
Then when it's gone,
When your will is weak,
That's when you'll finally see
The only one here is me.
Scorched earth engulfing all that was to be;
That's when I finally see the only one here is me.
Abandonment is my only solace.
Accepting my never ending suffering inside of my own head.
Your ghost I thought walked with me
Is just the shadow I fear.
All other life has moved on,
Yet I remain, set in stone;
Pathetic apathetic derelict of an age bygone.
Watching the skies
As the clouds pass by...
Where are the fires?
Did they expire?
Watching the skies
Through absent eyes,
Blind by the smoke from the fire
Just biding time to expire.
Your hope is gone
Your will is weak;
That's when you finally see
The only one here is me.

Open the sea
Upon the sea is an abyss beckoning
A maelstrom of dreams opens up to me
As my eyes start to distort reality
Watching with doubt
The ocean drown everything that I thought I know
Through my eyes this spiral consumes my soul
And leaves me abandoned amidst the barren unknown
Tear out my eyes, for they're fed only lies
I'm bound to a fate of unenlightenment; I
Face the maelstrom below
Consuming all I know; I
Bury my eyes in the
Sands of surety; I
Break my belief in hope
My soul decays until I
Succumb to the maw
Drawn into the depths beneath the break
The sands are swept to obscurity now
The veil...
The veil of truth remains drawn shut to me
The heavens elude me, out of my reach as the maw feeds
Swallowing all that I have perceived
Abandon me beneath the sea
Everything I believed is escaping me
The shadow of the depths consumes all I see
Left with benighted sight; into the evernight I sink
Blackness of ignorance beckoning me to upheave all that I believed
As the shoreline is eaten away, and is drawn into the ever-descending waves
Without surety left beneath my feet, my will to be is withering
The abyss - the devourer of dreams - hypnotising me to be consumed; I
Face the maelstrom below
Consuming all I know; I
Bury my eyes in the
Sands of surety; I
Break my belief in hope
My soul decays until I
Succumb to the maw
Drawn into the depths beneath the break
Open the sea
Upon the sea
The black abyss is beckoning
Devourer of dreams
It swallows me
Eluding me
The truth of being
From the depths of the maw the heavens mock me
Sink into the depths of hell
A cesspool of souls to rot for eternity
Forever bound to a fate of ignorance
The wraiths will dance as the maelstrom descends
Forever bound
To a fate of unenlightenment
Tear out thine eyes, embrace benighted sight
Forever

Harbingers
05:10
|
|||
|
Believing the world would not forsake us…
Deceiving ourselves, we won't awake to see
We are alone.
We are alone in our graves: nothing awaits us -
We are the arbiters of our own design.
We look to the sky for god to save us;
We march to our graves, naught to replace us;
We are the harbingers of our own demise.
Wandering aimlessly
As the stars glisten like a light to lead
The mindless hive out to the sea
Where a chiral grave awaits eternally.
Embrace solidarity -
Undeceived by self-imposed verity;
The only thing I regret is believing
When you said that you were there beside me.
The only thing I regret is believing you when you said there was hope.
We look to the sky for god to save us;
We look to our sides to our brothers in pain;
We march to our graves, naught to replace us;
We are the arbiters of our own design.
Believing the world would not forsake us -
Deceiving ourselves, we won't awake to see
We are alone in our graves, nothing awaits us;
We are the harbingers of our own demise.
If hope is the last to die
Has the end already passed before our eyes?
Too enthralled by the distant stars to recognise
That the dream that we were seeking was never alive.
Blaspheming against our souls
Forever looking outwards just to make a home
But I'm the only god that cares for my own
And god sits alone atop his jaded throne.
We look to the sky for god to save us;
We look to our sides to our brothers in pain;
We march to our graves, naught to replace us;
We are the arbiters of our own design.
Believing the world would not forsake us -
Deceiving ourselves, we won't awake to see
We are alone in our graves, nothing awaits us;
We are the harbingers of our own demise.
The only thing I regret is believing you when you said there was fucking hope.
If hope is the last to die
Has the end already passed before our eyes?
If hope is the last to die;
You cannot kill what was never alive.

Chirality
04:43
|
|
||
|
I awake from a chiral nightmare
This dispossession of identity consuming me;
Drowned by the question of who I am -
Lost in disparity between who I see and who I chose to be.
Wide awake but still drowning in chiral dreams.
Open my eyes in time to realise
The fractured glass upon which my self resides -
Distorted by design.
Reflected outwards so none see inside;
This fractured mask upon which I am defined...
Is it even mine?
Swimming to the surface my emergence is a vergence
As a coalescence of subconsciousness and my awareness
Brings a current sweeping me away unto the shores of surety -
Yet riddled with uncertainty I gaze back to the blackened sea.
Out from the void my eyes stare back at me
But hollowed out, gouged by reality's chirality:
A shallow manifestation of anything I've ever been.
Let the tide break on me to break down my naivety.
Stare into the surface of the ocean in the depths of the night
Reflected is the shimmering lights of the stars -
A sight to behold.
Drown in your vision and bask in the misguided truth that you see
But you mistake the reflection for the heavens themselves.
Open my eyes in time to realise
The fractured glass upon which my self resides -
Distorted by design.
Drowned by the question of who I am -
This fractured mask upon which I am defined
Is all a lie.
The stars on the sea
Are all that we see;
In the end
Is deceit.
All that we see
Is deceit.
Breaking the surface, within my emergence, a final convergence of my understanding, as
I open my eyes in time to realise the truth's in the sky;
Watch the reflection - an image in flexion, a fatal distortion of all we perceive;
A visage mistaken, the truth is forsaken; awareness awakened: reality's chirality.

The Struggler
04:42

There is no dawn,
There is no light to look to -
Embrace the night, swallow the fear that grips you.
The veil is gone
And as the silence slips through
A fate of failure is all that awaits you.
As the darkness nests
You'll find your life bereft -
Beyond the veil of faith
There's only nothingness.
And as the darkness takes
The shackles of belief
Will break and be replaced
By nothing.
Will you fall
To sink a cynic;
Or will you crawl?
Where are the stars?
Where is your heaven promised?
Deluded by a dream - an ocean of lies.
That dream is gone -
As blackened night enshrouds all
Into a darkened fate of hate you will fall.
Eviscerating the light through enlightenment of nihil -
But ascendancy is to sow the seed of a life beyond the sea.
Until this time that dream was seen in the light
And this dream would never end unless you opened your eyes -
But you shall not wake - we exist in the dream;
Day shall not break - we exist in the night.
Open your eyes - realise your life is demise;
Embrace the night and rise through unto the light.
Will you fall
To sink a cynic;
Or will you crawl
A struggler into the dawn?
And as the silence fills your soul -
A fate of failure taking hold;
And as the silence slips through
The solace breaks you
And eminence takes hold.
The eminent
Your ascendance
Is tied to the fate you will defy.
Purposeless;
Light extinguished, darkness nests;
Falling into hopelessness;
Fading into faithlessness;
To struggle is your fundament -
Struggle, endure and contend -
Fabricate your eminence;
Sow the seed of your ascent;
Rise through your demise
And struggle through the night.
The eminent
Your ascendance
Is tied to the fate you will devise.
Will you fall
To sink a cynic;
Or will you crawl
A struggler into the dawn?
And as the silence fills your soul -
A fate of failure taking hold;
And as the silence slips through
The solace breaks you
And eminence takes hold.

Watch Them Suffer
02:01
|

Watch them suffer
As they struggle for the surface
Grasping for an elusive necessity.
Fuelled only by our empathy,
Ignorant to the world around them’s apathy.
Every soul is branded with burden -
We carry curses that no one truly gives a fuck about.
We wear our sins all alone, while convincing ourselves that we can find salvation.
Watch them crawl forever
As they struggle for the surface.
But they're drowning deeper
In the maw that's consuming their souls.
They claw for heaven
As their bodies merely pave the road;
They’ll fall together
Because they could never rise on their own.
The hand offered will only be deceived -
It's on the hand they'll feed.
Disburden yourself of your empathy -
It is the only way to be free.
Watch them suffer.

Awakened

I stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made;
I have awakened
From eternal sleep.
I rise
Destined to die,
Built for demise,
Facing the overwhelming tide -
But I will ascend for eternity.
In the reverberating silence of isolation
I stand alone
Among echoes
Of everything I was and will be -
It exists in me...
But I feel the weight eluding me.
Upon the threshold of my heavenly throne -
I see the stars still out of reach
Unlike the sea,
Mirroring the heavens corporeally;
I finally perceive this destiny of absurdity.
And as the final [breath of]
My ambition [escapes me I]
Finally perceive [my destiny].
As I become [entombed]
Upon my throne [I fade into]
Despondency.
But still I
Stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made;
I have awakened
To my apathy.
Amidst the darkness of my desolation
I feel the throes of destiny
Beseeching me.
There is no paradise to run to -
No place to escape the futility of my being.
Open my eyes just to realise I've died.
Chasing purpose to the surface just to see
In chasing a dream of ascendency
I only found apathy.
Emptiness pervading every fabric of me
As the albatross awakens tearing my heart out
Leaving me to yearn for heaven, without a dream to
Comfort me from the truth that heaven’s not there.
The ocean shimmers, tantalising;
Glistening in the light of the stars out of reach.
Staring down from the heavens, uncaring -
Is a destiny of apathy the only thing awaiting me?
As the final [breath of]
My ambition [escapes me I]
Finally perceive [my destiny].
As I become [entombed]
Upon my throne [I fade into]
Despondency.
I'm awakened.
I stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made;
I will ascend
As I descend -
I will descend beneath the break.
Return me to the bliss of the depths
Where, in ignorance, my life made sense.
Unbound from erroneous dreams, yet now
Emptiness is all I feel.
I stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made;
I have awakened
From eternal sleep.
I rise
Destined to die,
Built for demise,
Embracing the encroaching tide;
I will ascend
As I descend -
I will ascend beyond the sea.

Ascent of Autumn Sydney, Australia
Groovy Melodic Deathcore from Sydney, Australia.
Founded in 2018, the three-piece's
early work was inspired by old melodic metalcore bands like As I Lay Dying, Bullet for my Valentine and Currents. Following a number of lineup changes, the band undertook a shift in direction, incorporating much darker sounds inspired by bands like As Blood Runs Black, Shadow of Intent and Fit for an Autopsy.

Before Ashen, I thought they were overrated. Deathcore bands seem to have a capacity to evolve quickly. I’ve seen quite a few bands in this genre grow exponentially from one album to the next, and Ashen is a particularly strong example.
