lyrics
With my eyes open wide
To this dull reality
For the first time in my whole life
I could truly see
It was like a cold blade
Murderin' me,
Piercing my own flesh
My awakening
Though once I believed
Life was worth being lived
Now I comprehend
Everything is rotten in the end
For a lifetime I've been living an illusion
But my heart has been stabbed too many times
The betrayals I have suffered almost killed me
And they slowly crushed the trick of life
What's left of me is only ash
Now the Veil is Ripped
Finally I realize
I have always been
Walking in a graveyard
Crowded by shadows
Of people like me
Empty shells surround me
With narrow dreams
Could this limbo of sorrow
Be real life?
Alienation is the abyss
That severs us from each other
Now I comprehend
Everything is rotten in the end
For a lifetime I've been living an illusion
But my heart has been stabbed too many times
The betrayals I have suffered almost killed me
And they slowly crushed the trick of life
What's left of me is only ash
They took everything from me
In a slimy hell I drown
Among the ruins of a dream
My heart's as empty as yours
Wanderin' with deceitful eyes
I'm an empty shell like you
I'm the shadow of myself
Stranded on a sea of alienation
What's left of me is only ash
Gaze
I just gaze
Lying on the ground I gaze
Staring at empty space
Lying on the ground I gaze
Staring at my ruins
To this dull reality
For the first time in my whole life
I could truly see
It was like a cold blade
Murderin' me,
Piercing my own flesh
My awakening
Though once I believed
Life was worth being lived
Now I comprehend
Everything is rotten in the end
For a lifetime I've been living an illusion
But my heart has been stabbed too many times
The betrayals I have suffered almost killed me
And they slowly crushed the trick of life
What's left of me is only ash
Now the Veil is Ripped
Finally I realize
I have always been
Walking in a graveyard
Crowded by shadows
Of people like me
Empty shells surround me
With narrow dreams
Could this limbo of sorrow
Be real life?
Alienation is the abyss
That severs us from each other
Now I comprehend
Everything is rotten in the end
For a lifetime I've been living an illusion
But my heart has been stabbed too many times
The betrayals I have suffered almost killed me
And they slowly crushed the trick of life
What's left of me is only ash
They took everything from me
In a slimy hell I drown
Among the ruins of a dream
My heart's as empty as yours
Wanderin' with deceitful eyes
I'm an empty shell like you
I'm the shadow of myself
Stranded on a sea of alienation
What's left of me is only ash
Gaze
I just gaze
Lying on the ground I gaze
Staring at empty space
Lying on the ground I gaze
Staring at my ruins

This is probably the last - and in my opinion the best - album recorded by "Crowned in Earth". Originally, this has been an epic doom metal band, but leader Kevin Lawry decided to move on into other musical realms, and the heavily psychedelic magnum opus "Metempsychosis" can be regarded as his first step on the way, which eventually led to two superb solo albums so far, named "The Shadows Stole The Dawn" (2016), and "The Journey Of Regret" (2018). Kevin Lawry is one of those good guys in prog, which we can expect still many pleasant surprises from.
