lyrics

(Verse 1)
Forty-Five
destined in time
A new realm

Stranger now
Unlost, how?
Surrendered

(Chorus)
Toe Up
From the floor up
No known reasons why
They’ve died
Toe Up
From the floor up
Bodies lined
Five by nine

(Verse 2)
A new dawn
Embracing dimensions

Pausing for
Life to begin
Soothsayer

(Chorus)
Toe Up
From the floor up
No known reasons why
They’ve died
Toe Up
From the floor up
Bodies lined
Five by nine

'Cause they were Toe Up

Universal paths
seeking new life
With a foot in each realm
These are the paths,
The abyss, the new dawn
Hiding behind the veil

Shut it down
Nothing to see
Just another mass exit
Blinded
To shepherd the sheep
To know nothing

On Grief and Dying

One Last Regret is seriously dark and melancholic, it's fused with gorgeous cleans that reminds me of the new Counting Hours album (The Wishing Tomb). I bought this rather quickly, thinking it was only a single, which I would have zero issues with, because it's absolutely worth it, then I look to see it's part of a full album release coming next month. This has me ready to be swept into sadness and grief! Funeral Fog

This record brings me flashbacks from early 2000s black metal. It's fast, blasting and punching. Maybe it's not so memorable, but still a decent listen. XUN
