lyrics
You want to conquer Khawa Karpo, tripping over pebbles
You aim to cross Queimada Grande, getting entangled in thickets
Explore the cradle of humanity, in the shadow of Erta Ale
Climb Borobudur's steps and find nothing but the filth of tourists
There is a lack of something really profound
You feel the absence like a missing limb
Alas, there is nothing touching a man's core
As deeply as the poison he ravens by choice
Nothing changed since the days of yore
Desperately imprint the silt with our marks
Inherent the longing for transience
To fill the void in our hearts
To all the wanderers out there
There is no home to return to
There is no path to follow
From the craters of Chimborazo to the depth of Marianas Trench
As if apathy was more than a shield
For a long-corroded shell
And if you claim to see ghosts
Then what might those spectres see in you?
Will they take you for one of them?
Minor inconveniences withhold our aspirations
Obligations are such excellent excuses
Concomitants seem to define us
Stick to the default performance
Towards bleak insignificance
There is something mesmerizing
About a pack of rats storming the darkness
As if they followed Ariadne's thread
...will they take you for one of them?
Nothing changed since the days of yore
Desperately imprint the silt with our marks
Inherent the longing for transience
To fill the void in our hearts
To all the wanderers out there
There is no home to return to
There is no path to follow
From the craters of Chimborazo to the depth of Marianas Trench
As if apathy was more than a shield
For a long-corroded shell
And if you claim to see ghosts
Then what might those spectres see in you?
Will they take you for one of them?
You aim to cross Queimada Grande, getting entangled in thickets
Explore the cradle of humanity, in the shadow of Erta Ale
Climb Borobudur's steps and find nothing but the filth of tourists
There is a lack of something really profound
You feel the absence like a missing limb
Alas, there is nothing touching a man's core
As deeply as the poison he ravens by choice
Nothing changed since the days of yore
Desperately imprint the silt with our marks
Inherent the longing for transience
To fill the void in our hearts
To all the wanderers out there
There is no home to return to
There is no path to follow
From the craters of Chimborazo to the depth of Marianas Trench
As if apathy was more than a shield
For a long-corroded shell
And if you claim to see ghosts
Then what might those spectres see in you?
Will they take you for one of them?
Minor inconveniences withhold our aspirations
Obligations are such excellent excuses
Concomitants seem to define us
Stick to the default performance
Towards bleak insignificance
There is something mesmerizing
About a pack of rats storming the darkness

Nothing changed since the days of yore
Desperately imprint the silt with our marks
Inherent the longing for transience
To fill the void in our hearts
To all the wanderers out there

There is no path to follow
From the craters of Chimborazo to the depth of Marianas Trench
As if apathy was more than a shield

Then what might those spectres see in you?
Will they take you for one of them?

Un album dense et une atmosphère oppressante. Mélodique et puissant. 3/5

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder
