about

Amongst Those Dead finishes the journey from the previous track, Hellscape, and speaks on waking up from a deep, dark and terrifying nightmare, only to find that the real world is much worse. The song showcases unique sounds, allowing for the listener to imagine walking around a barren wasteland, and realizing that the world is full of chaos. The “her” in the song is a metaphorical representation of reality as a whole, or rather the idea of reality, and coming to the understanding that life may be difficult, but it is what allows us to move forward.

lyrics

[Verse I]
As I entered the silent and vacant womb of eternity
She arose from the shadows like the dead to life
Pale white
Empty threats within her mind
Cheeks dead in blossoming rejection
With lips that look like poison drip from the edge of sanity
It was only then I knew reality had faded like the mist in my past torment into an array of dementia

[Chorus]
My eyes opened once more…
I was stranded in a desert-like world
The streets filled with archaic virtue and chaos
I walked and wept at the thought of solemn silence and complete and utter serenity
‘Twas only my solitude and myself amongst the dead

[Verse II]
The hot, hard and grainy pavement ‘neath my feet had laid me comfort that I was still real
The sun driven wild like a forest fire tested among the brink of humanity
I walked more and more just to find emptiness

[Chorus]
My eyes opened once more
I was stranded in a desert-like world
The streets filled with archaic virtue and chaos
I walked and wept at the thought of solemn silence and complete and utter serenity
‘Twas only my solitude and myself amongst the dead

[Elision]
Though I was walking through a plagued world where nothingness was existence
And though walking never had brought me to edge of the unknown one that has brought me to consistence

[Interlude]
Only one thing remained seldom in my mind
Her
Who was she?
In my dreams where she laid so cadent among the rest of the world
I closed my eyes at the thought of her
Shutting them hard
My eyelids ready to implode from the pressure
And I released them
There she was
And there I was
It was all a dream
In the asylum I was sent to
Where she was the one to lead me out
In my mind
Despaired with darkness
While I’m shutting my eyes at the broken injections of mental lividity
The mental debility
The mental obscurity
And mental avidity

[Instrumental]
My eyes opened once more
I was stranded in a desert-like world
The streets filled with archaic virtue and chaos
I walked and wept at the thought of solemn silence and complete and utter serenity
‘Twas only my solitude and myself amongst the dead

[Outro]
(In the vast obscure silence left in my mind)
It was her
(I remembered her face)
It was her
(The entire darkness inside me)
It was her
(I remember her face)
It was her

(As I entered the silent and vacant womb of eternity
She arose from the shadows like the dead to life)
