lyrics

There’s a phantom that’s always just ahead of you.
There’s a mystery always just beyond your view.
There’s a longing that’s never been satisfied.
There’s a dream you’ve had every night all of your life.

There’s a question that defines the very heart of you.
There’s an answer that forever has eluded you.
There’s a voice that speaks but never is discernible.
Since the day you’re born, always you have felt the pull.

When you’ve chased the sound, you’ve found it only dissipates.
When you’ve gotten close, it suddenly evaporates.
You have tasted it in moments of serenity
You have heard the whispers at the edges beckoning in.

Follow it.
Further in.
When the meaning shines forth, follow where it leads.

Don’t believe the lies that tie you to the natural,
Or the voices that deny you of the spiritual
Don’t resign yourself to listlessness and emptiness
Don’t surrender to indifference or hopelessness

When the forces of faithlessness come to you,
When the worshippers of reason try to weaken you,
When the merchants of nihilism lambaste you,
Don’t renounce your claim on that which you know to be true

When the meaning shines forth, follow where it leads.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

Your music connects on every level, whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual. Impressive musicianship and song writing. Love how you leave this undefined space for us listeners to draw our own images and blend in our own personal lives when listening. Beacons is one of my favorite albums of all time! olaussem
