Eyes prised open; mind sewn shut
Memories broken; thoughts undone
Vital senses; nerves unfeeling
Once born human now much more
This fetid strain of experimentation
Creating a soulless abomination
Extremities flayed for science
Dissecting human anatomy
The charge to cross the synapse
Should never have become
A chemical imbalance
To redefine the species
Cross the threshold of anomalies
To explore the unknown reaches
Of the human design
This creature should never dwell
Upon god's earth
Cease this scientific misadventure
Break down thoughts to free failed intentions
This demon from a lost dimension
Transcends our understanding of existence
What is this mockery of our dying breed?
An abstract portrayal of genetics reformed
What is this being that deforms our nature?
And festers in the pits of darkness
Does this represent what we are to become?
This anathematic nightmare that foreshadows our future
Is but a masterpiece in the creators eyes
The ancestral perversion
Must be severed at the source
Eyes prised open; mind sewn shut
Memories broken; thoughts undone
Vital senses; nerves unfeeling
Once born human now much more
It feels as we feel; sees as we see
It's last thought living
A veiled mirage of peace and hope
The afterlife betraying nought
To a sorrowed sickened monsters eyes
A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
Une musique techniquement excellente qui me rappelle Quo Vadis, et sa c'est un compliment...Vraiment continué comme sa j'adore tous simplement. devilgrinder
Iapetus vise la voûte céleste avec The Long Road Home et, aussi éloignée soit-elle, arrive à ne pas se perdre en chemin, ne succombant jamais à la facilité ou au remplissage : Matthew et Jordan sont deux virtuoses du black metal progressif qui savent être exemplaires, encore plus dans les pistes instrumentales (l'album ne pouvait rêver de meilleure conclusion que cette piste éponyme). Iapetus vise aussi les planètes, donnant du corps à leur création par des thèmes et paroles matures. Magistral ! Jordan Vauvert
Highest-quality-metal!
Imagine Cynic having a baby with Dream Theater, Devin Townsend, Atheist and Joe Satriani!
And now imagine this and add fantastic songwriting!
Ok.
Now you got it, don't you? RATMAN
