everything will be erased

my torch has burnt out"

[SysLocal]

In my world of sleepers
Everything will be erased

I'll be your religion
Your only endless ideal

Slowly we crawl in the dark
Swallowed by the seductive night

My torch has burnt out

[Scorentation]

Funny how 5 minutes of electronic music can have a significant heavier impact on your spiritual life than 5 tons of religious literacy. May the Musicians be blessed.

This heals cancer. A psychological one...

I went to Amsterdam alone for my 30th birthday to trip on magic mushrooms. While I was tripping I discovered this song and album. My life hasn't been the same since

[Dhruv]

This been years now... and I'm still unable to describe what this song means to me, its one of those eternal tracks, listening to this track on loop for nights in a row and it still gets me, every single time.

[Scorentation]

4 years later... Still my religion, my only endless ideal. Cannot forget that night for it was my first vision of Eternity and sometimes the only Light in my life these past few years. I'm very happy to see that there's a lot of us deeply touched by this song. Music is Magic.

[Calicofrost]

I can't help but cry in awe from this song. I feel so lonely sometimes but it doesn't always have to be a bad thing. I get to experience all this beauty that sometimes goes unnoticed. <3 This group is my biggest inspiration

"In my world of sleepers
everything will be erased

I'll be your religion
your only endless ideal

Slowly we crawl in the dark
swallowed by the seductive night

My torch has burnt out"

Some things matter more than others, this song is one of those things.

[Scorentation]

I discovered this song the night of my 25th birthday, I think my speakers played it in loop for at least 50 hours lol... can't get tired of it.
Love to listen to it alone, in the dark... makes me peaceful and wondering about the secrets of life. Absolute perfection, like it was said.

The instrumental is taken from Joni Mitchell’s 2000’s version of “A Case of You” that appeared in “Both Sides Now” album. It was a legendary version and a very very mature album. Somehow CBL managed to put everything together so beautifully and from one masterpiece made another one. To anyone who has never heard that 2000’s “A Case of You” I am talking about, I highly recommend to listen to it. It might become your best tears you’ll ever have. It’s a heartbreaking version of a classic song. Peace! May the music save the world.

[quantumsodapop]

This may be my favorite album in all existence. No other album paints it's desired atmosphere with just sound!

[TheHolyReality]

This is one of the finest tunes I heard in my little miserable blink of an existence.

[MrDzver]

This track has a profound sadness associated with it, the type of sadness associated with letting go and entering a final frontier, a new chapter, new beginning and a forgotten past. If i could describe the feeling this track creates it would be somewhat like an aura of peacefulness and love, and beauty, such beauty that you can almost touch and feel.

[jackzen]

I'll never forget listening to this on 450ug of LSD with my ex-girlfriend. When the girl says "My torch has burnt out, " I realized I was no longer in love with her. Tough fucking trip to say the least. Still love the song though.

[sanaknik]

Это самый прекрасный трек, который мне когда-либо приходилось слушать в жизни. Он такой... Обволакивающий. Вместе с ним приходит ощущение нереальности происходящего. На 5 минут ты забываешь о том, что тебе куда-то нужно бежать, что-то делать, о чем-то думать и переживать. Забываешь, кто ты. Есть только музыка. Ты и есть музыка.

[VivBeyer]

I feel that there could be.. (is) a Connection between all the People who FEEL the essence of this such People must have a LOVE to ALL of you !

[Scorentation]

2 years later, still so perfect and otherworldly... what a masterpiece.

[AFMusicChannel]

Possibly the best CBL song. It's amazing how a 5 notes theme can be so touching.

[Minimeister]

back when I had insomnia, this was one of the songs that would usually put me at ease just enough to fall asleep
