1.	The Lonely Tower 04:33	lyrics	buy track
High, upon a hill There stands a lonely tower Steadfast and strong Through ages it remains A relic of a bygone age Left to rot alone Stark against the dimming sky Black, even to the night A monument? A legacy? A testament? A prophecy? Stood so long against decay Yet now succumbing to nature's way This tower, this monolith will fall away Into the earth, it will crumble and fade Like all things, be they great or small This lonely tower, like us all Will disappear as though it never stood at all Forgotten, lost, as is our fate To return unto the earth, to crumble back into dirt Stood so long against decay Yet now succumbing to nature's way This tower, this monolith will fall away
2.	A Faceless Figure 02:37	lyrics	buy track
Walking the silent streets A chill festers in the air Vision begins to blur Clouds descend Temperature drops Every breath Lost in the fog The freezing fog A lamp becomes A glowing orb Dim In the endless haze Shivering I am frozen To the very core Of my being Who am I? A faceless figure One with nothing Lost In the freezing fog
3.	A Reflection 07:24	lyrics	buy track
I Gaze Into Mine own Eyes! Pondering My existence Staring Into myself Looking At my own Soul Traversing Darkest depths Of my Inner Self I Search For A Deeper Meaning To Make worth Of this Temporal flame I must Give birth To my Eternal name I Gaze Into My eyes Suddenly I realize What I truly am A momentary flame That will soon fade My light Gone From And for All time Extinguished Never to burn again I Search For A Deeper Meaning I Search For The Truth What Is The Answer? The great question Forever unanswered Pondering My existence Staring Into myself Looking At my own Soul I Gaze Into mine own Eyes!

about

This is a three track demo of some material from the upcoming Morvidus album 'As Shadows in the Night'. The lyrics of the title track are inspired by the painting of the same name by Romantic artist, Samuel Palmer, which is also the image used as the album art.

I performed all guitars and vocals in this release, however, drums were programmed, as were any synthesizers. In the full album release, I will be performing the drums myself. This was all recorded and mixed by myself as well.
