White orbs growing on an alien world
So alone in the universe
Ignite the cradle of sentience
A flaw in the scale of evolution
They struggle not to turn inward
But their fate may be to destroy their selves
Countless species fall before
The threshold of the stars
White orbs glowing on an alien world So alone in the universe
Ignite the cradle of sentience A flaw in the scale of evolution
They struggle not to turn inward But their fate may be to destroy their selves
Countless species fall before
The threshold of the stars
Across forty billion globes we cry out for a sign
Still no word ever returns, Why is it so silent?
Are the gardens burning or are they dead and Uprooted?
And will we ever learn – our fate – our curse
Are the gardens burning or are they dead?
A sole survivor left to die, or are we all now lost? left behind?
Across forty billion globes we cry, ... why is it so silent?
Are the gardens burning or dead?
They struggled not to turn inward
But their fate has been to destroy themselves
Countless species fall before
The threshold of the stars
White orbs burning on planet earth
All alone in the universe
Echoing ash and radiation
The dead end of our evolution
We struggled not to turn inward
But our fate has been to destroy ourselves
The human race shall fall before The threshold of the stars
All Worlds Shall Fall
Now the wheel shall turn again
Behold the amnesiac children
Gazing at the sky in Fear,
Slain by wonder held sincere
Swept away smashed into
The anvil of unforgiving truth

The Solaris Effect

Beyond our grandest dreams there lies
Realms of sentient mystery
Incomprehensibly devoid of our teleology
Across the cosmic sea they rise
With soundless voices and sightless eyes
Together yet alone, here and gone
No one’s home, no one…
Like ghosts we pass through one another
Like ghosts we pass through one another
Solaris
Like ghosts we pass through one another
Like ghosts we pass through one another
Solaris

The Bleak Beyond
07:46
|

|
Spectral flares endlessly chase the scorched inverted horizon
Entombed in a toroid dispersion lattice
Jealously embracing the stars formerly known as dark matter
The Harvesters are absent - vanished without a trace
Concealment of the voice results in the beauty of the echo
As the echo shreds us to quarks
The frameworks quarrel in arcs of dark energy
In the great repulsion they flee one another
Dragging us into the entropic abyss
When we were but cells, the Harvesters transcended
Into a warm dimension of light
We are the weary downtrodden left behind
And its only getting colder
The Void, we've froze
We've reached our end
We've come upon
We've come upon the bleak beyond

When frost devours the spheres
The time immortals fear
Chaos driven forth through eternity
Mighty civilizations scatter
The universal mind will shatter
And all will turn to corruption and
Motes of fading dust
I scream into the night
Bleeding time, I lose my mind
Frozen in reflection as I lie paralyzed
Then I recall my coming days
A crystallized aesthetic grace
An all encompassing design
To reconcile my fate
As the wave of uncreation it pursues
As it feeds on what is left
As we grow ever colder and forgotten
our souls rot as we're begotten
We find new life in the ether
As our molecular shapes are shifting
As we slow our pace to nothing
Our Forms fossilized in entropy
As we slow our pace to nothing
Crumbling the order that's always been

Un E.P. qui pourra largement diviser les fans, notamment ceux fermés d'esprit et qui refusent que Mesarthim puisse faire autre chose que du black metal atmosphérique. Presence est en effet l'œuvre dans laquelle le groupe profite le plus de la musique electro, notamment le new age (surtout sur "Eschaton Part I") voire même le synth pop sur le morceau éponyme ; black metal certes, mais une hybridation très prononcée. Si vous accrochez (comme moi), vous passerez clairement un bon moment !
