Cold hands drag me down
Tear me from this place
Warmth stripped from my skin
Light drains from my face
The dark turns to me
Looking in my eyes
All my vile features
Exposed from the inside
I keep falling back
I'm surrounded by only empty space
I'm so afraid
I keep falling back
I reach out for you
Only empty space
I'm so afraid
My sunken eyes are barren
As barren as the earth
Around me there is nothing
The nothing I deserve
Withering like an autumn leaf
The skin starts to decay
Lost inside an emptiness
Engulfed in endless grey
Am I just a visitor
Or left here to reside
Lost inside an empty space
With nothing left in sight
Have I found my refuge?
Or has everything I wished for been placed into my reach?
Is my passage now complete?
Shadows start to shimmer
They swirl round
Around my sight
My cold limbs
Become frozen
I gasp for air
As breath turns to ice
They take my hand and lead me away
Will they take me somewhere else or force me to stay?
The darkness finally takes its form
And guides me to the gates
Shrieking as they open
A glimpse into my fate
A hand upon my shoulder
Turns me toward a light
Bleeding through fragments of a new
A new life
The light I saw before
is now devouring me
I’m burned by the sound
I’m deafened by the heat
There is just no way to properly describe the journey that this album provides, with its enormous riffs, varied sound throughout and the raw emotion of it all. A rare perfect album... Agent Echo

Romance of Affliction somehow makes an old genre feel brand new. Amazing. I would have swore this album was from 2005 if I didn't see with my own eyes it wasn't. SYSC takes everything good about mid-00s metalcore and brings it into the modern day, leaving behind the trash. It's a pure distillation of the genre with brilliant structure, pacing, and lyrics. The album ebbs and flows, letting emotions swell before punching in with some of the most intense passages I've heard in a while. rettisawesome
