This is the first new track from Torture Wheel in 5 years. The first of five new songs being recorded for a new full-length release.
lyrics
dead winds carry plague
we crawl into our graves
floating on the breath
of a whispering wraith
pass into the painless shelter
drain away decaying matter
find yourself released from madness
lucidity awakened into death
when the light escapes our eyes
the dead must realize
consumed in crimson mist
don't fear and don't resist
realm of obsidian sorrow
penetrate the shallow
dead widow's ghost weeps at the window
long suffering, awaiting wraith
light
refracted
illuminate
the spectrum of the dead
eyes and minds
spectre scratched into grainy film
replaying one lost moment in time
reflections bent
warped reality
mirror cloud
hazy serenity
