Altered Spheres

Returning home, lost so many years
The golden grass, still where it should be
The amber gate, once so strong and true
Cold now and so foreign to me
Maybe just a tainted view
Altered spheres of the mind is my fear
Calling out to find a vision clear
The smiles seen are haunting
Not one reaches those hollow eyes
The knife marks on the boardings
Speak of far darker lies
A ringing sound that crashes all around
A tear in time cuts into my core
As it fades I fear I will be found
I can't just wait here anymore
Altered spheres of the mind is my fear
Calling out to find a vision clear
I hide behind the town well
Only to find I'm not alone
With one shove I fall to hell
All I see are shattered bones
Ripping through my tendons and time alike
I grasp for stone I can make my own
Carving out a path with jagged spikes
Breaking down the world that they had sewn
Moving onwards out of pure hate
Parting stone cuts through the gloam
Metal burns as I see the gate
I have fallen home
Altered spheres of the mind is my fear
Calling out to find a vision clear
Knife now in the boardings
Hollow smile on my face
Time lost me to endless burning years
This is now my place

Darkness Enraptured

To the common I'm a journeyman
Day in and out I follow the plan
When orders are displayed
The routine is engaged
Yet little do they know of my scheme
To enter the lair of their dreams
I make the darkness enrapture
All that you knew from birth
The scorn inside will capture
A sacrament of earth
Once the energy was in my grasp
Bending their will was the next of my tasks
Find the source of inner pain
Guide them to follow my way
All labor would occur in their minds
While dreaming of another time
I make the darkness enrapture
All that you knew from birth
The scorn inside will capture
A sacrament of earth
All the deals I made to deceive
Gave me power I could not believe
With the essence of every thought
The coils of the earth would rot
I will now enter the tomb
I will now behold truth
Give me the tool to conquer
Send these rats to work to their doom
Now I make the darkness enrapture
All that you knew from birth
But it seems the cost is fatal
Could it be I was used to return
The elder gods have sealed my fate
My goal manifested too late
I cling on to a rat escaping
For it is the last of my reaping

Questions raised from a child's mind
Answered only by an open wire
A cyber world devoid of time
Takes you into a wheel that never tires
A truth revealed in a haze
Entering a brand new mental daze
Understanding and connections abound
To fill the void that surrounds
Harsh lights belie human sight
Burned by the warming light
Technicolor descent into night
Will reclaim the ties that bind
The pattern forms inside the fade
Stealing all focus away
Tunnel vision becomes the only release
From society's disease
Harsh lights belie human sight
Burned by the warming light
Technicolor descent into night
Will reclaim the ties that bind
A scapegoat for all the lies that humanity has wrought through time
Cultivating entropy to indoctrinate the ignorant to their creed
All the ignorant join their creed
All the ignorant join their creed
Unmaking the sleepless nights
Thoughts on fire melding into the stone
Flat screen sky our only rights
Cold air cutting deeper to the bone
Harsh lights belie human sight
Burned by the warming light
Technicolor descent into night
Will reclaim the ties that bind

The horizon is unknown
Light streams in blues and greys
A dead body found in the snow
I'm in the ice domain
And all I knew had fallen away
And all I saw was lost to the day
Now locked in my head is a fear
That this vision will become too clear
A sworn off sentiment
Hovers in the valley below
I dare not wander far
In fear of how this dream might go
Then in the gathering fog
I see a group of thieves
Waiting to find a kill
Could it be there's only me?
Chased through wind and snow
I cannot find the goal
And all I knew had fallen away
And all I saw was lost to the day
Now locked in my head is a fear
That this vision will become too clear
Visiting the ice domain is necessary for the mind
For silencing the noise within
By letting it live without giving in
They lost track of me
Frost melts around the tree
And all I knew had fallen away
And all I saw was lost to the day
Now locked in my head is a fear
That this vision will become too clear
A mind state full of dread
To live in without end
Cast aside to find strength inside
To see what can be known in the cold

Feeding Emptiness
08:04

All the words became a void
As the soul was gripped by fear
Through carvings on a hidden tome
Seeds of progress can be sewn
Writing manuscripts of sounds unknown
There is no path to the mind
In the cellars of this time
So the answer lies beyond the eyes
Feeding emptiness and falling away
Distant memories are reaching into the fade
Where a sound unheard will be the guide
To journey far beyond to where there can be a sign
All that seems divine is a step too late
As the curtain falls there can be a way
Feeding emptiness and falling away
Distant memories are reaching into the fade
Where a sound unheard will be the guide
To journey far beyond to where there can be a sign
A mental path is cleared
To oppose every fear
There are many layers of light
That can't be seen within the shrine
Forsake the mystery to rise from the night
As a call to the wind finds it's way through the den
A deceiver is chanting ahead
Feeding emptiness
Feeding emptiness
Through the carvings on a hidden tome
Seeds of progress are embossed in stone
Letting out all that is unknown
Burning below
Burning below
A frightening essence of days gone by
Threatens to halt the flow of time
As it reaches out to haunt the mind
There will now be a battle
Within the grip of the rattle
So fortify this dimension
From demolition
Feeding emptiness
Feeding emptiness
Steps now taken show again
How this never was the end
Feeding emptiness now rising beyond
Strides of inner self decreeing the path of thought
Words of destiny are lost in the eye
Freeing up the path out of the blight

Shadow Thoughts Spokane, Washington
Shadow Thoughts is a progressive metal/rock band formed in late 2018. Their mission statement is to fuse an introspective and mysterious lyrical style with richly textured and melodically-minded progressive metal.

The Barrel encapsulates the wonder of progressive music on this debut with a great ear for melody, atmosphere, and memorable riffs at the forefront. These tunes will stick in your head believe me!

There's an ease to Restless Spirit's take on doom that is on full display with this latest release. They play with tremendous energy and precision, but above all simply know how to write great songs.
