Black moon rising Intrusive thoughts Compulsive disorder Poison of the mind and soul A new conqueror on the throne Who alters your perception And tears ambitions down What do we fear with all our hearts? Why do our burdens tear us apart? Why do we search within our soul? What are the things we are yearning for? What are we searching for? Down to our inner core On a descending path What are we searching for? Black moon rising Shadows flap their black wings Intrusive thoughts Shadows flap their black wings Force-fed delusions From your own mind Negative mentation Reason is clouding Ambitions are burning When the world has taken its toll Your own self Brings on your nemesis Confessor of sins Soul sacrifice Mere vision sustains Desperation remains Rise from the ashes Reclaim your life Search for tranquility Be one with your soul and mind

Lyrics: Towering clouds over flowering fields The dawn of a dark season Unleashed is all that light conceals Challenging sense and reason The path ahead is steep and narrow Trying to find a way Despair pierces my skin, heart and marrow Turmoil blights the day The path ahead is steep and narrow Trying to find a way Despair builds up in me The night is drawing closer The walls are caving in Sinking into the unknown Panic spreads, asphyxiating It's the season of unrest Will this be my requiem? Mortality exposed Vulnerability imposed Normality foreclosed I close my eyes and bask in flowering fields Dismiss the pain and ignore what's real Reject reality, construct my own Burn everything to the fucking ground The night is drawing closer The walls are caving in Sinking into the unknown Panic spreads, asphyxiating It's the season of unrest Darkness threatens to unfold Fertile fields turned to barren land In an instant the future looks bleak Mighty mountains crushed to sand Enough to make the strong heart weak Will I hear his voice, will he know my face? Is it far what seemed so near? No way out of this ghastly maze Desolation and despair The night is drawing closer The walls are caving in Sinking into the unknown Panic spreads, asphyxiating Here's the season of unrest Has my time come? Tears won't arise Oppress my weary eyes credits released December 8, 2023 In Vain is: Johnar Håland - Guitar Kjetil D. Pedersen - Guitar Sindre Nedland – Vocals Andreas Frigstad – Vocals Alexander Bøe - Bass Tobias Øymo Solbakk – Drums
