LYRICS

blood moon ascends in night
as the cosmic eye
free of the chains
that define our lives

it cuts through flesh and bone
into the glow of souls
gazing far and wide
devoid of hope

you cut me open
but i won’t let you find
what’s under the surface
entombed in my mind
beneath the surface
it’s grim to see
oh it echoes
then disappears

unblinking eye in the shadows
abets the world its weary lies
enthroned beside the dimming light
speak what’s left unspoken
the time is near

blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls

blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls

the mind was a hall that towered high
and on the throne was the child inside
and on my side, enthroned beside
the shadows divine held all the world
and the glimmering life
in mind was a time when all was right
mind was in mind

blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls

blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls

cut me open
it’s grim to see
beneath the surface, etched in fear
the day has spoken
how dare you speak her name
to consecrate the broken
carry weary worlds

the day has broken
a stain, a crime
you, serpent
deicide
the day has broken
a stain, a crime
you, serpent
deicide

I love how Converge started as a hardcore punk band and now their genre is Converge

[in.der.welt.sein.]

I am 86 years old and I have loved this band since I was 4 years old.

[mavisevelyn]

Imagine having been a band for 30+ years, and in the third decade of your career you’re still putting out exciting music that is totally different from anything else you’ve ever done. Most bands as old as converge just end up putting out more of the same old stuff they’ve always done, only much less good, just to please fans. I love this band so much.

[chewweili]

Can't stop coming back to this, it's just a masterpiece. Every layer and detail added was the perfect choice.

[jystinoueletete]

Been listening to converge since I was 13 years old, I'm now 38 and they give me goosebumps. Best band ever.

[JohnRobinson-kkgb]

Love Chelsea and Converge. They've always written some amazing chill songs on every album so I'm stoked to hear a full album of it with the queen.

[goner.]

Chelsea’s voice feels so soulful even in this creepy context. So rich, bold and just full. And of course there’s the dash of the chaotic noisiness in the song that made me fall in love with converge. Amazing. What a piece of art.

[isaacshrum]

Stunning track. Converge is pure musical catharsis for me. I love many other bands, but Converge is THE band that I return to again and again. No other band expresses the range of emotion like Converge does, be it anger, sadness, loneliness, or love. They make you want to scream and cry at the same time. These guys are endlessly creative and inspiring. Can’t wait for the new album.

[chuterence]

Chelsea Wolfe's vocals give me goosebumps

[Frogmonkey]

Emma Ruth Rundle/Thou + Chelsea Wolfe/Converge tour when?

[fraxriel]

One thing I'll always love about Converge is how they've been able to evolve and grow without abandoning their sound. So excited for this album.

"F-ING AMAZING!"
That growling sends shivers down my spine.
This touches something so raw and deep in my soul. Especially whenever im dealing with chronic pain. Thanks to my 27yr.old Twins for sharing this with me!❤ AND keeping my engery young!

[christianforbes]

I'm 41 and have been utterly in love with this band since i was 16

[greggprice]

Stephen Brodsky is bad ass!!! Great track, great video!!!!

[RckDeckard]

After over 20 years of sustained excellence Converge makes such a thrilling collaboration makes them one of the best bands of this century. We're truly living in wonderful times for alternative and heavy music 🤘

[Bilsuburbians]

Converge “Blood Moon” supergroup is the most anticipated group in 2020/2021 in whole deepest - darkest universe

[ninjosolo]

Just another reason to say Converge is one of the most important bands in extreme music...ever.

[lovebug_taffy]

Chelsea looks like a goth lotr elf and it’s absolutely breathtaking. Also SHES SCREAMING IN A SONG FINALLY !!

[rippindrummer]

Converge is the most consistent band in the world, every album from Jane Doe to this has been gold

[TheProjectEmerald]

I didn't know I needed this crossover in my life, I'm speechless, thanks to everyone involved in this, I can't put into words how much this means to me.
