1.	Gilded Shackles 09:24	lyrics	buy track
Your riches have rotted your garments moth eaten the truth so valuable in a world so poor We lie asleep in a corporeal tomb with no hunger yet encouraged to consume end all light on the darkness in this world light up society with fires in the night sky Understand by our own hands we drain the land our heads in sand uncontrolled it takes it toll now set aflame this collective soul Deceived and spat out this greed suffocates It's ours alone this blame and greed ignoring the scorn of the world while dragged on your knees exceed our grasp we strive for loss to feel the choke at my throat every time I breathe
2.	Under a Dark Sky 07:05	lyrics	buy track
Why I feel enslaved to yield blind to see societal illusion of free will Under a dark sky life becomes clearer under a dark sky Our decline by our design the grinding gears of this soul hungry treadmill flesh has won and spirit none the architect of this forsaken standstill We're still blind to this decline the winding paths truncate this twisted nightmare the dark prevails yet light entails there's never one without the other It's shrouding you under a dark sky life becomes clearer under a dark sky Comply and unaware enthralled we stare entrap my mind with distractions that lead nowhere Why I feel enslaved to yield blind to see societal illusion of free will
3.	This Aesthetic Life 07:36	lyrics	buy track
Deflecting waves so eager to release eyes so heavy with images that seen all the vague, inane and all those in despair and after this so called life the silence in the air Work yourself to the bone worship the machine or die alone don't defy get in line on the outside you'll appear just fine Reaching deep down inside and feeling everything died is it all a lie in this aesthetic life? We forge the tools if only to repair and carve into our flesh the signs that we bare Work yourself to the bone worship the machine or die alone don't defy get in line on the outside you'll appear just fine Reaching deep down inside and feeling everything died is it all a lie in this aesthetic life? Grind your soul in this world these hordes entomb your life
4.	Drown in The Shallowness of it All 10:07	lyrics	buy track
In this life's hollow this darkness shrouding my eyes will I drown in shallows or bridge this weak divide Now watch this construct unfold there's nothing left to believe autonomy that falters constraints flow free This emptiness my soul drifts this void these vacant stares nail shut my eyes to make me see what it all means to me extents of loss with much less in between In night's cold reflections we swam these oceans to heal indifferent and boundless we feel this way but now I've run aground these sails are ripped and torn we hail the skies This emptiness my soul drifts this void these vacant stares nail shut my eyes to make me see what it all means to me extents of loss with much less in between
5.	She is The Ocean 08:00	lyrics	buy track
The toils of this life's anxious fires its oiled well spreads flame across the land to purify works every time awash one's self and flood this charred ground This is the age unweave the veil Drown in the lights I've seen the same that you despise I feel the shame with what they sow branching out What's in the nature of your saviour what's in her eyes that you've seen Confess these notions that feel serene won't betray her secrets she'll always conceal what's in the ocean that can't be seen beneath the waves that you'll never reveal She'll cleanse my soul to make me new I am again now sail myself ashore She is the ocean The tide will rise intoxicating me the moon she's high drown me now Confess these notions that feel serene won't betray her secrets she'll always conceal what's in the ocean that can't be seen beneath the waves that you'll never reveal We are the old we are the new we are the same but stronger than before
6.	The World is Your Cloister 09:01	lyrics	buy track
What's in this life less is all I see led by lies Lo and behold watching madness in wry there's no real eyes to wake and realise Why strive? For loss of life, space and time This sink or swim society is upon us Crushing you through crushing you every time wash it in lies smoke its disguise Why strive? For loss of life, space and time This sink or swim society is upon us Try your deeds in tragedy Those who would perceive drown in self-esteem undiluted belief entitled to a dream In their minds they'll define the storm this chaos will come raining down Try your deeds in tragedy
7.	The Struggle is Ethereal 07:34	lyrics	buy track
A picture of the night dark thoughts come flowing through you can see figurations of light The blind revelation I'd say you've improved your sight you can feel the pyre alight Inane what's on your mind you'll see it if only once shed it out What's in this world that you cannot perceive don't need reasons who won't believe its always been but didn't foresee once you've seen it you know it can be Scry, through the frame of your mind escape this ignorance trust yourself but instead you look into the skies In this picture of the night beckons us to look through with retaliation I try to beat them too when you eyes align you'll wish you lost your sight focus, expose what's in the lies you found What's in this world that you cannot perceive don't need reasons who won't believe its always been but didn't foresee once you've seen it you know it can be Look into yourself and trust Scry, through the frame of your mind escape this ignorance trust yourself but instead you look into the skies
8.	Bind Us as One 10:06	lyrics	buy track
Rise into your fires your dark caress incantations into my weary mind and now my flesh comes crawling too I was blind in my eyes withstand an age my roots in soil why in my need it's yet time I see her face a thousand times through pages of dust and twine her dried leaf tears stain on the land ingrained in my own hand Why have you awoken me to walk hot coals across the land Why have you forsaken me to join the legions of the damned It's on frayed edges of what you've seen but the lies keep feigning truth against the surges but your life keeps flowing through I see her face a thousand times through pages of worlds decline her sun dried tears wash on the shores absorbed in the sands of time Why have you awoken me to walk hot coals across the land Why have you forsaken me to join the legions of the damned My eyes rescind this age that's been I cannot see a place for me I'll leave it all to oblivion the ancient ways precede a bygone amenity it all becomes too much for me Unburden me the time has come scatter my ashes beneath this sun's glare it bears witness to what I've become the struggle subdues as I am undone

Striving Toward Oblivion
by VORGA

so many gems in this album but after i went through this in order for my review, i kept returning to this anguished call to humanity, an emblem of despair in vast nothingness. a shred of hope dashed, as this album as a whole speaks to the annihilation of the ideals of humanity and the pedestals they sit on - and what happens when we watch all that shatter. there are plenty of outer space themed albums, but VORGA brings us something worth listening to. mintymetal
