vantuscross This lived up to the hype. Pt. 2 carrying on a heavier and more surreal sound to Pt. 1 compliments the project as a whole. Not only that, the hints of past projects' styles in exuvium just tie it all together to make a compelling piece for longtime fans. OBLIVI​Ø​N is such a spectacle, and it's clear to see so much emotion and thought has been put into it. For such a long runtime (Pt.1 + Pt. 2 ~1hr 41mins) I'm amazed by how I'm never worn out throughout. OBLIVI​Ø​N is no doubt his best work yet Favorite track: EXUVIUM [beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, that we are still able to bear].

Deep in the ground, I am breathing Tendons extending to the molten core of the earth like roots Your amaranthine gaze falls upon me Time and space freeze and spontaneously bloom The finest light could never reveal the softness with which you hold me Better a symphony Better an apocalypse ø ø And he floats above the earth, a spectre Soil to dust and roots to ash Destroy, divine destroyer! Destroy, oh destroy! The seasons shift with the angle of your glance Laws of nature rendered frozen in your path From where have you come? You ruin us with dearth and famine Yet you cradle us like a child More than anything else that lives and breathes and calls our name Patron saint of the void Oh terror! Oh exuvium! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
2.
Burn the saints inside you Leave their bones behind you Turn all your warnings inside out Spit them like soil from your mouth ø ø Burn the saints inside you Leave their bones behind you Burn in rage, oh lion! Storm the gates of Zion! ø ø Burn the saints inside you Leave their bones behind you Burn in rage, oh lion Storm the gates of Zion

And I fell like lightning from the sky I was lost Ribbons in the void I looked up at the blackness around me and realized it was everything I had feared since I was a boy. Day star, son of dawn Where is redemption? I got on my knees that night to pray and saw you in a vision Your face shrouded, foreboding, brilliant and beautiful The blackness seemed to pour in through my eyes as you walked towards me You came close, and whispered my name Abbadon Abbadon Abbadon

I feel myself unraveling Suspended and strange Listen. No matter what you see here, no matter what erupts from my depths, no matter what ruin comes of us, promise me… Promise me when you sleep, when you dream of me… it will be in colors of white.
6.
I’m falling against your grace Folding inside your love You never reveal your face Cold in a silent blood ø In my dreams I’m swallowing your eyes and mouth Your sibilance like strings untied This isn’t feeling right, it never was I don’t even need this I hope you can see it I’m dying to leave this world behind You peel with a purpose You love who deserves it Been holding the kill switch to my mind All along
7.
I see the birth and death of the universe swimming around in your eyes Datura yellow gazing through my mind Datura yellow gazing through my mind Datura yellow gazing through my mind Datura yellow gazing through my mind Datura yellow gazing through my mind A p-p-purring with it’s poison should I let it lay or p-p-pluck and pulling down a willing throat To lead me to the place where I have shattered Ooooo A question that I find is harmless But at night it seeps in through my eyes Arresting and caressing every fold and strand I leave to loose I feel it pull and I unravel Oooo Slither through my soil Oooo Bring me to a boil Oooo Feel my atoms rising Oooo Terminal velocity I see the birth and death of the universe swimming around in her eyes Eternal monoliths of storms past You have my attention. Haunt me in all of your ways. I see her fingers bending backwards twist and turn and tie themselves together Beckoning behind her back with fingers dripping rainbow puddles singing to me “come and drink of many waters” Oh God I am dissolving disapperating folding flying feeling every color swarming slipping past my skin like snakes they hear me waiting Skin abuzz with weight under their gravitation I see her fingers bending backwards twist and turn and tie themselves together Beckoning behind her back with fingers dripping rainbow puddles singing to me “come and drink of many waters” Sings “I’ll look into the wind I’ll look into the flame I’ll dig into the earth and swallow it again I’ll find you in the safe and quiet place inside your mind and expose all the beauty in your terror” The void is awaking Creating, degrading Eternal, unfading The siren is waiting The void is awaking Creating, degrading Eternal, unfading The siren is waiting

I saw you last night, you know. In the backyard, staring up into the trees Who were you talking to? Was it her again? Was she crying?

I breathe you in like smoke and water in a crowded room Dark liquor and bad vibrations, baby All I need is you ø ø Pull me Blackhole, You know you’ve always wanted to be the darkness I’m not Hurt me I’m close to the edge and I’ve been holding my breath for so long ø ø I breathe you in like smoke and water in a crowded room Dark liquor and bad vibrations, baby All I need is you ø ø Hit me Thick rain, a rolling boiling deluge Like everything that I want Fear me I’m set to destroy and you’re fit to be the prey that I hunt Sink down into this holy soil Keep spiraling into my void Drip on me with your bloody smile A communion of the sickest kind ø ø I breathe you in like smoke and water in a crowded room Dark liquor and bad vibrations, baby All I need is you

No survivor And nothing survived I touch the souls of dead men Here from my forgotten life Wrap me tight in these swaddling clothes The newly born savior King and lord of the void ø ø And the red sea is parting now I’m trying to save this but I don’t know how Tongues of angels suspended in time A forgotten voice deep inside ø ø And though we’re touching skin to skin Laying in threads of gold You softly whisper in my ear “Darling you’re still alone.” Butterflies of white and grey Rustling up silent storms “Darling you’re still alone.” “Darling you’re still alone.” “Darling you’re still alone.”
11.
Your heart is torturing me A thousand miles an hour again And all that stays with me Is the fear inside my gut You’re the fear inside my gut You’ve been my reason to breathe The gravity that pulls me in I can’t escape the weight Of your ultraviolent heart Of your ultraviolent heart I’ve been splintering apart Breaking open from the start Gates of heaven are closing What did you do in my head? Weren’t you laying in my bed, Telling me I was chosen? Now I don’t even know you and that’s the best part of it All I know You’re the only thing that I see in color This heart is torturing me The only pain I understand I can’t escape the weight Of your ultraviolent heart It’s a poison in my gut I’ve been splintering apart Breaking open from the start Gates of heaven are closing What did you do in my head? Weren’t you laying in my bed, Telling me I was chosen? Now I don’t even know you and that’s the best part of it All I know You’re the only thing that I see in color This heart is torturing me The only pain I understand I can’t escape the weight Of your ultraviolent heart It’s a poison in my gut You’re the only thing that I see in color
12.
A thousand lines throughout your body I’ll eat you bit by bit From the inside My finest prize My hara-kiri Exuvium Exuvium Exuvium ø ø No exquisite pleasure feels like The amaranthine gaze in your eyes Spasmodic womb and trembling child Lay waste to everything with your light ø ø What is your soul made of? Beauty And what is beauty? Terror ø ø Exuvium… Exuvium… Exuvium… Exuvium…
13.
Last night I woke up and saw you again Suspended, as you so often are, three feet above me, staring down and… simmering Fingers wet and glistening, your eyes static and void You part your lips and all at once I’m filled with a vast sense of space and incredible saturation Bestial pangs paired with syrupy weightlessness My body floating up slowly towards your beckoning fingers I thought we promised to be honest with each other… when were you going to tell me you’d become the reaper?

FAR LIGHT 07:39
Pass overhead I’ve forgotten what’s it like To feel weightlessness, my strings untied My arms are long Strong enough for flight But can they push away this heavy silence? ø ø But maybe if you're tongue-tied I could walk you through it all Find you in the lowlight Fight your battles through this war Broken on my doorstep You were falling through the seams Breaking every finger Thinking it would make you clean ø ø And I know In the far light In the lightning There are pieces of myself You’re setting off You’re setting off I’m frail And I’m poured out But I told you There are parts you’ll never see And they’re aligning in the stars [the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars] ø ø Pass over my head With your wings extended wide I can taste the way you terrify me Grow towards the sun Leave me far behind Till you extend into this pale horizon ø ø But maybe if I’m tongue tied you could walk me through it all Find me in the low light, let your body break my walls I’ll be on your doorstep sorting through my empty dreams Breaking every finger praying that it makes me clean ø ø And I know In the far light In the lightning There are pieces of myself You’re setting off You’re setting off I’m frail And I’m poured out But I told you There are parts you’ll never see They’re all aligning in the stars [the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars] ø ø Maybe if you take time, we could still escape this place Our pearly gates are burning and yet somehow fire feels so safe If I told you jump now, would you let it all erase? Join me in the far light, blooming in a fiery blaze
