They rise from ancient ruins
They lust, they crave, they gather at the sky
Like the mighty roar of thunder in the distance
Like a thundercloud they subjugate the light
As you look inward you sense damnation in the air
Slowly you raise your eyes towards the trembling sky
Like a swarm of locusts they ́re pouring down on you,
destroy the harvest of your life,
take everything you love
And as you ́re entering this cruel dance, dead bodies falling to the floor
You crush one hundred, crush one thousand, but there will rise one million more
And as you ́re sinking down to the bloodsoaked ground,
among this ocean of corpses you realize that they nest inside of you
They nest inside of you
A seed was planted into a young chest
No one understood the breed behind the curtains of a polite restrained smile
Now all that ́s left are ancient ruins
Inside this crippled shape of a dying heart they will hatch and rise and crave for everything you love Take everything you love
Revisiting this album today and it is just as powerful and demanding as it was eight years ago. Perfectly pertinent to today's pandemic world and all the other donked up messes facing us. This album reminds us to live... while we may.

Crust with strings is a heartfelt and honest pairing. And the opening track Awoken is such a beautiful track, I can't help but listen to it on repeat. Gemma

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
