lyrics

If only we could see in the dark
The matter that is holding us apart
We thought the world revolved around us
Some still think the earth is flat
What will we become when our sun explodes
Could we find a planet
To sustain life as we know it
No matter how much we feel we are on top of things
We are still nothing but intelligent apes
On a tiny fragile island
Hanging in this dark space
Looking into the sky wondering
How our universe works
This dark energy bending all there is
This dark matter holding everything together
Taking in no light and giving none back
This curious invisible force dominating the cosmos
That which we cannot see
But that which we can observe
What will we become when our sun explodes
Just like it is on earth, darkness prevails
If only we could have seen in the dark
We are still nothing but intelligent apes
You can’t see or feel it, but you can watch it bend light and pull things in its direction.
It turns out that everything is bound to it.
For dark matter, really matters.

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
