Delusion in the shades of grey
When we’re told to always seize the day
But never feel the justice with a hole in the soul
And a remedy on your doorstep
The open spaces call to me
No explanation necessary
High altitude my spirit’s free
The atmosphere is inviting
Elation in the cleansing wind
When you feel you’re leaving death behind forever
The summit will enforce the change (the fears with the clouds evaporate)
Surrender
Feel the earth underneath your feet
Either in the snow or the searing heat
Say hello to the unmoving peaks
Solitude by design calls my name with a strengthened resolve
Mobilise and defy, dare to dream
Turn my attention towards the sky
Freedom
Freedom of the mind
You’re shedding your skin again
(keep on shedding that skin again)

Instinct

Am I allowed my own voice?
(Passing judgement, taking for granted)
Did I ever really have a choice?
(Passing judgement lurking in the shadows)
My mind’s in the ICU
Another paranoid victim of you
In this dark world that you beckoned me into
I feel the tightness in my chest, opinions repressed
Did you throw away that Instinct?
Or did you amplify the mistakes?
The sun sets on the horizon and rises on another
You’ll still admonish the blameless and wear a badge of honour
You’ve wrapped yourself in a bubble, reliant on the word
New life exposes the frailty, frenetic and absurd
I’ll never take for granted this privilege
I’ve always learned my lessons the hard way
Did you throw away that Instinct?
Or did you amplify the mistakes?

Forcing a judgement call until the fever breaks
External forces filter in through the nervous system and the pain begins again
Cause I feel diluted through the complexity of guilt
Compounded with the tears and the sweat and the blood that’s been spilt
Time’s taking advantage now
What happened to me, I used to be free
Force feeding burdens
The expectation, determination
Looking but never really seeing
The colours and textures fade into one
Drowned out by the overwhelming sensation
“What else?”
My psyche devours me.

Enlighten Me

I can’t find the words
I can’t find the time
I can’t find the answers to make me feel alive
I need to feel enlightened
Give me a reason to go on
Give me a reason to sacrifice
Higher Power, speak to me
Have you got some advice to share?
Higher Power, speak to me
Let me know that you are there
My mark on this earth
And my legacy
Thoughts of the future create anxiety
I’m casually inspired
To give them a reason to care enough
What kind of reasoning resonates?
Let us know that you are there
I need to feel enlightened

Eternal Tales

I ask myself what might have been
If you’d forgot to ring the changes
And it’s all downhill from here
And it’s all for nothing
Nowhere to go
Stuck in a haze
And it’s really hard to articulate
Searching for a silver lining somewhere in the dark
Devoid of ideas for a number of years
Bury my hostility and tell tales for eternity
Submerged in subconscious I’ll sing my swansong
Claim ignorance of hostility and tell tales for eternity
I’m torn up but I’m defiant
Patient but I’m still trying
I’m alive, fresh and vibrant

Facade

You’re a god, at least that’s what you tell yourself
An internal archangel and a demon to everyone else
You’re a fraud, ambivalent to the extreme
Inside your circle you feel like you’re living the dream
What’s the cost of anonymity?
A hired gun, the tired one, expendable and untraceable
Unseen, unheard, unknown
Closing chapters, turning pages, turning to stone
This world you thought you created
This world is greater than you or I
Sick of walking on broken glass
Mortal men like me don’t stand half a chance
Would you trade immortality
For a life or normality?
Just a shred of humanity?
Even just walk a mile in my shoes
That’s the sound of the mask slipping
That’s the sound of the shoulders dropping the weight
Closed minded and insecure
What you’re singing of, you ain’t so sure
Would you trade immortality
For a life or normality?
Just a shred of humanity?
Even just walk a mile in my shoes
Who cares for you?
You’re holding a full house, you’re all in
With nobody at the table
Who cares for you?
You’re holding a full house, you’re all in
But you sold them down the river

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10
