The webs are woven from the fabrics of our ancestors
Their bodies broken and returned to this earth
Organic nutrients to continue this life cycle
But their stories we carry around like armour
The vibrations of life reverberating through the dense canopy of trees
The heartbeats create a constant tapping through the ground
Sounds of their voices rumble through the roots of the tallest trees
The body's heat is felt all around, amongst the leaves
Hallucinations
The sky rips open to release you
Hallucinations
Raining fear into your mind
They are the Dream weavers
Open
Open
Open the door to your mind
Expand all existence
Impugnment complete
Intrinsic infiltration of your manifested illusions
An entanglement of contemplation forced into delusions
Open the door to your mind
Expand all existence
Impugnment complete
Dream weaver
I have my sights set on you
I have visualised your future path
Dream weaver
Reaching out, touching you, changing you and forcing growth
Dream weaver
Breaking down materials and your desires to illustrate rejection
Dream weaver
I have my sights set on you
broken down, my effigy bestowed
Hallucinations
The sky rips open to release you
Hallucinations
Raining fear into your mind

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
