The sands of time
Illusions for eternity
Discovering the senses
Awakening
When the hourglass falls
Who will collect it all
When the hourglass fails
What will prevail
Nothing
What will
Prevail
Is just
A shell of the past
There's no
More time
To wait
For a
Change
I
Can't
See
The
Way
Forward
I
Can't
See
The
Way
As I look to the stars at night
I can feel them beckoning to me
Spanning forth as far as the eye can see
As I look to the stars at night
I can feel them beckoning to me
Spanning forth as far as the eye can see
As far as the eye can see
I
Can't
See
The
Way
I
Can't
See
The
Way
Forward
Will you walk into the snow
And will you feel the pain
That lingers with each breath you take
I know it's hard to want to feel the regret you may have, but
Please just know that you're the only soul I want to stay
I can't see
The way
As I gaze at the stars tonight
Full of dread as they're beckoning to me
Spanning onward as far as the eye can see
The end is fucking nigh
And none of us are listening
Grains of sand continue free falling
Awakening
Awakening
Awakening
The end is fucking nigh
What we ask of ourselves
Is just not enough
Take me away
Take me away
I don't know if I'll ever make it
I don't know if I'll ever see you
I don't know if I'll ever make it
The rain will wash away
I don't know if I'll ever see you again
The sands of time
Illusions for eternity
Discovering the senses
Awakening
When the hourglass falls
Who will collect it all
When the hourglass fails
What will prevail
There's nothing left but the stars tonight
And there's no hope for you or me
Grains of sand continue endlessly
The end is fucking nigh

The absolutely positive impact that this album has had on my life can't be described with words. Whenever I listen to it, it teaches me something new. My favorite track is "Scaling Mount Improbable." Dundar The Barbarian
This album is simultaneously elegant and humble. The track "A weather front was stalled out in the Pacific--like a lonely person, lost in thought, oblivious of time" takes me on a journey. Dundar The Barbarian
Excellent, atmospheric, instrumental prog/post-metal to lose yourself into. The combinations of stuttering guitar shreddage with the soaring walls of sound over the top are beautiful. Dundar The Barbarian
The Ocean adds electronic depths to their cinematic post-metal sound on their latest, closing out their paleontology-inspired album cycle. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
