about

The title of the track refers to the last third of the lyrics, which were written long after the pained, self-blaming introspective thoughts of the rest of the song - almost a letter written in disdain for allowing my former self to live in such a constant state of misery.

I now realise that I tried as best as I could to fit pieces together that didn't fit, and I shouldn't have put all the blame on myself, as relationships aren't built by one person alone.

Guiltless and A Letter to Anguish are inspired by the same events.

lyrics

Am I the mistake
The equation can't be solved
Are all the troubles a product of my narcissistic toils?
Faking joy while aimlessly carving a path
Which numbingly stains the soil as the aftermath

Burn our bridge
Douse the ground
Find more ways to tear me down
For I was lost
And can't be found
I'm so far gone I hear no sounds
Of calling out
Or crying out
Tonight I stray further
From the only soul I've ever cared about

A sacrifice in form of
Another momentary distraction
Makes us seem so separate - again and again
And every interaction shatters, each moment breaking you and me
Our fragments sink again to drown in this toxic agony

When blood is sought after
And laughter seems to disappear
I'll be looking into the hourglass
Hoping you'll still call me your dear


Is this what freedom is
Finally letting go
Flown so far away
Just to lose touch with our home
Eye for an eye
Soul for soul
Further down the hill
The snowball rolls

Did I intend this mess
Or was it fate?
Has it been the worst mistake I have ever come to make?
Maybe it's true, I'm the only one in the wrong
Only you know the answer though I'm the one who tied your tongue

Only I could see it coming
The foreshadowing was true, I let myself slip away
For my insanity was due

It lurks and pries my every crooked crack
My mind contorts into a state of panic
Of ignorance, jealousy, rage ensued, forced onto me

A letter soaked in misery
From anguished times of constant tragedy
Self destruction lead by sympathy
To the agony in these words – I look back in shame

about

HARBINGER image

HARBINGER London, UK

Underpinning righteous fury with thick, groove-laden riffs, anthemic choruses and shredding guitar solos, Harbinger package high-minded concepts and techniques with primitive savagery and raw heaviness. Backed by big riffs, untamed heaviness and technicality, Harbinger are pushing the boundaries of modern metal, but with a lot of consideration and respect for the foundations and roots of the genre ... more
