lyrics
They Will Return
Walk through the archaic pathway
Dig through the soured ground
Unearth the eternally rotten
Until the body's found
The heart pounding louder
The stench thickening
Succumb to the trance
The mind sickening
Recovered, casket open
Starring before me
My own flesh and bone
Slowly decaying
So close, pushing forward
Obssesed to achieve
Emptiness consuming
Grieving my own sanity
Ritual solution, mistaken for God
Leave him into the spell of The Wendigo
Beneath the cermeonial rocks and trees, my seed
To mourn the lifeless body below me, once free
Tredging through the sacred woods, the only path you know
With hope and love in your intention, spawn forth bestial reanimation
Reveries from the cruicified witch, and the horror seeps back to the eye
The child you need, lived and died
Replaced by the evil inside
Ceremony as black as crystal night
But will he awaken?
When the last grave is emptied, I will wait
When he comes back to me I will feel... whole
{Solo Rains}
"You learn something about what death really is
When the pain stops and the memories begin
Not the end of life but the end of pain
Death is a mystery, and burial is the secret"
{Solo Dwyer}
Sometimes dead is better
{Solo Rains}
Kneeling to the skies beyond, pleading for your loved
The door has been opened, unleashing horrors unspoken
Naïvety of a mothers touch, condemning her straight to hell
Gaze into insanity, lifeless breath under spell
The eyes, I see no being inside
She is so fresh, it will work this time
When the last grave is emptied, I will wait
When she comes back to me, I will feel
The door is opened, they have returned
{Solo Rains}
Walk through the archaic pathway
Dig through the soured ground
Unearth the eternally rotten
Until the body's found
The heart pounding louder
The stench thickening
Succumb to the trance
The mind sickening
Recovered, casket open
Starring before me
My own flesh and bone
Slowly decaying
So close, pushing forward
Obssesed to achieve
Emptiness consuming
Grieving my own sanity
Ritual solution, mistaken for God
Leave him into the spell of The Wendigo
Beneath the cermeonial rocks and trees, my seed
To mourn the lifeless body below me, once free
Tredging through the sacred woods, the only path you know
With hope and love in your intention, spawn forth bestial reanimation
Reveries from the cruicified witch, and the horror seeps back to the eye
The child you need, lived and died
Replaced by the evil inside
Ceremony as black as crystal night
But will he awaken?

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
