This Empty Well

Darknight I was totally blown away by the sheer heaviness of This Empty Well. As soon as the first riff kicks in Cornada do not let up until they've strangled the air right out of the earth's musically beat. The whole damn album is just immense, the vocals are just out of this world. Respect Cornada, heavy as hell!!! Favorite track: Out of the ash.

Tussling, Crawling, Falling This stifling hole above me, Let me wait for a light Every time it’s getting stranger. Even though it’s defines my shape. I’m waiting for cognizance. Self-awareness. Direction. Wound as big as world around. Mess consumes my cry. My heart weeps echo sound. What have I done. I’m waiting for the cleansing stream. White, pure, shining glare. Soon I’ll be done here. It’s all now clear to me. I’ve waited for nothing. This caustic space, no firm walls. Fading structure Of this world. Just trying to understand. Just trying to understand. I’ve travelled all the way down there. To find out what? Light shows empty space between My head and fingertips.

Slave song 03:10
Feeding on my greatest dream. Playful is the edge, feel a bit surreal. Growing will for something more. Catching breath, source is near to the core. Wide throne for my little self. Enormous crown for my swollen head. Scepter too heavy for my feeble hand. Glowing robes on my sagging neck. My powers. It’s all in shackles. Self-wonderment And shining bliss. Licking ego stream My return pass for vacuity. Waiting is not enough anymore. Reaching with my hand something that I’ve become. Pleasure comes with pain, enriching everything. Feeling like a source of bottomless pit. My powers. It’s all in shackles. Just beg me, just beg me for more.

Reach, reach down. Become a common figure and die, Live your life. And weep out, weep loud, weep for everyone around. Seal doors and windows from your cry. Fulfill your long-awaited plan. When everything feels like hell, You charge and pay the heaviest price. Dying Is an art, like everything else. You do it exceptionally well. Just turn and burn. World, the world that melts. Flesh, flesh like cake of soap. Don’t wave for last goodbye. Cover your children. Fix things in house. Laugh at your business. Realize that’s last of your lives. Lives.

Deep inside, when I look closer. In lost point of reference. Still expanding pit of powers. Esoteric load, primeval me. Intimidating. Unexplored, vast space. Strongly enticing peril. Bizarre dance of shapes. Thirteen and a half Billions of reasons, To misunderstand Single ancient phrase. Maladjusted man trying to comprehend. Living by the rules of fragile beliefs. Everything itself As enticing sound. Everything within As a single note in this score. Unexplored, full of black holes. Where cognition backs down. Thousands of different scopes. Pulling strings for us all Everything within. Lost my sense. Hold my breath. Full of black bones. Everything within. Everything within. Lost my sense Everything within. Hold my breath. Everything within.

Hold you in distance to all that you want. Sell you just one and you will be billed. This bill. This pleasant debt. Weighs more than the world You’re so afraid of. You. And this sadness of yours. Looks like big Muzzle near to your throat. Loop. Complacency. Taking every chance. Fulfilling existence. Trending Tendency of common good. Lords of all those frequented paths. Turn right and you will get your luck. Deny. Contort your face. This sadness of yours It’s best that you’ll ever get. All things that you know. Are floating. Dissolving. All feelings are vague. We live. We go nowhere. The way of common sense. Breathing Feeds your sadness. Last thing that you’ll ever do. Will let you Forget it.
7.
By all means I’ll try to Survive this darkest play. When they meet My persistence. They’ll put around me golden cage. Beware Of those like me. All the places that mislead. Doubts I’ve never had. Crawling All these fucking years. See The way I see. Hope you never will. Knowledge Is all I have Along with weak beliefs. There never Was The other Way There never Was And there never Will Goal is one, Point is none, I understand. Sadness is Reminding me To never care.

Buried 05:01
We don't have to watch. We don't have to fear words. We can enter the dark. Go forward, not looking back. Borders for all. Borders of hopes. Build wall around us. And isolate. Thousands of those who are waiting for more. Bury The remains of sense and essence of joy. We all saw the fall of free pristine man. Knowing Without our shame We don't remind ourselves. Buried alive. Damaged. Tired. Invalid. Ridiculously proud. Buried alive. We can enter the dark. But never come back. We’ve took our rights and throw them to hole. We buried them alive. We've broken off robes and reached for the leaf. But there were no trees. We’ve put on a rope. In favor of everyone. We’ve entered the hole. A border of all hopes. We don't have to watch. We don't have to fear words. Hole is enough. To cover us all at once.

Breath... Well I can not. I can’t feel the ground, can’t smell the air. Following the path of a whales. It’s time to step back into ocean depths. Now it’s the time to submerge my face. Taste of salt water will shape me again. I was once the owner of the land. I basked in light and the goods of the soil. I dug enormous holes, Hoping that they would someday cover my bones. Living, Counting for more, Reign from the highest Throne of dump. Wasting treasure I found. I didn’t realize what’s the prize for that pride. Now it’s the time to submerge my face. Taste of salt water will shape me again. Now I’m a sinking man. Sinking man.

about

The album tells the story of disappointment with the world and how it resonates within a man with all his sadness, hope, anger and curiosity.

It is a manifesto of disagreement and misunderstanding of the surrounding reality. A study of how any attempt to comprehend it proves futile. A dissertation of how we accept the constant change with little to no consideration and seek meaning in the irrelevant. Of how we fail consciously, and of the anger within us.

“The Empty Well” does not judge, nor criticize. It is a log of deep self-observation, a diary of an inner scream fueled by helplessness, irresponsibility, and no real influence over what is happening.
