LYRICS
The monarch of silence
Condescends to speak
Foreign and familiar eyes meet through a temple haze
Surrounded by smoke
That consumes a cloud of confidence
Witness to the purity of penance

Before the bond that holds us together
No more space between death and woefully unclean

The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?
As soon as I graze you, it’s over for me
The guilt and the shame, can you take it all away?
Afraid to embrace, if for once you could keep me safe

Afraid to embrace

Will you go away? (Restore my grace)
Will you be waiting? (I have no intention to stay)

For the first time, you met me where I stand
Wrapped me in drapes of your immortal embrace
To cover who I think I am

Tremble

All questions erased, no more space between death
And a sealed fate
A forbidden gaze, unraveled at the sound
Of the throne room shaking

All this time, I was afraid of dying alone
My first breath extended in the palm of your hand
My final belongs to you
It was yours when we began

Cant even wrap my head around how a band can be this good.. the emotional response i get from their songs is so unique and i will be forever greatful for Invent Animate.

1:53

*stank face activated, commencing crowdkill sequence*

[Mrgunslinger]

3:05 insane, one of the most unique breakdowns ive heard

[drumsno]

The drums have such control in the breakdown. 3:00

[desmondjake]

This is gunna be one of those albums that’s amazing front to back

[JustSushi]

This band is very special to me... During your hiatus, no offense to the many metal projects out there but there really weren’t any projects that filled the void of the sound you guys pull off. Thanks for coming back in a huge way.

[LocalBandSmokeout]

The suttle synth notes in the background of this song could be my fav part. They're absolutely perfect haha

[iiEdiTx]

Never been so satisfied of hearing an ''EUAGH'' (1:53) until now, what a banger

[theguitarhero]

3:05 OHHHH this is the riff you guys teased back like a year ago on your Insta!

[mitchclifford]

How is this band not blowing up? Consistently heavy tunes with massive breakdowns and meaningful lyrics.

[sytheopath]

This band does something to me in the way of emotion. I get a certain "feeling" when i hear them. Its what keeps me so attached to this band. Like whenever I listen to white wolf. I almost feel this connection to the Wolf, like hes a person. It's so wierd.

[relentlesswolf]

Very rarely does a band stay of the same quality after a lead singer change. Very well done guys. Keep it up

[drummerAVA]

INVENT has really stepped it up for this album... songs are hitting way harder.

[kenniboii]

1:40 sounds like someone beating down on those big standing tribal drums and I'm all here for it 🖤

[lgoldtop]

Still the best musical find for me in my life ever. Thank you tragic records and bandcamp for bringing this euphoric band into my life. Thank you Invent Animate, you have forever changed my life.

[levilively]

I'm going there... This album is gonna be the best album I've ever listened to. Literally the first 4-5 songs they've put out have been fucking amazing. Each one is so different. I can not wait til March 13th.

[phantom_nyc]

I realized from these 4 singles you guys always have some type of breakdown, AND IT'S ALL I LOVE THAT

[joshbarnes]

I've been looking forward to new Four Year Strong for 5 years, but this one late night IA nugget has satisfied me more than their new full length. Thanks for filling the void.

[homerdjnt]

Listening to this track a few more times I can garantee, prog. metalcore cant get any better than this. This track alone encapsulates almost everything I liked most in the metalcore genre in the last 10 years.

This is music made for musicians and ppl who can aprecciate talent and creative musicianship

[Ruqkii]

I just found this band. It means 2020 wasn't a bad year after all. This song, in particular, is sick.
