1.
A benediction of lifeless masters Venerate the kings Swapping hearts for knives The bells of final rites soon to ring The cosmic bridge complete The limits of the flesh The chanting verse repeats Summoning all death Midnight star, the flashing skies Lords and lepers Duality, mortality The spectrum of plight Remaining dreams at night Immolation the final sight Psalms of science, psalms of death Upon these graves we lay our heads Shadows never cast against the sun As they die Remains of ash made eternal By the opening of eyes Rise from the fires, walk the ruined lands The haunting dreams of death In desperation Final aftermath The bloodied paths of annihilation The feast lies dead when the final night is slept Serpents manifest below the crushing ice Reflected in the layers moments before the light Under thickened frost the stairway does descend The killing of the captured, eternally condemned Upon these graves We lay our heads Shadows never cast
2.
The Undead 05:07
Eternal flames light burning nights Rites performed to cleanse marrow from bone The eons fuse their blood To thaw the undead Lowered into grave, rotting and decayed Masters of torment upon their rusted cores Paralyzed they bleed feeding the machine Gasping rhythms of their waking curse Against perspectives still alight A corpse evolved of steel and brass Corrosive metals beneath the flesh We thaw the undead Lowered into grave, rotting and decayed Masters of torment upon their rusted cores Paralyzed they bleed feeding the machine Gasping rhythms of their waking curse A symbol of progress Annotations to shadows Of twisted selves Suspend belief in breath Suspend belief in death The open call to our masters Nothingness paints vantablack abyss The infinite reaches of cosmic structures Execute final judgements upon decaying graves Portend the vessel, the dead as they rise To horizons higher than hell’s fiery skies The weight of molten oceans, ichor ebbs with tides The polished skulls of lepers abetting cryonic guides
3.
Hallowed sounds from hell The pain of remorse From the throats of the damned In their agony exalt Baying of the midnight wolves Twilight shining down Demons in their infinite Damnation As toxins leech into Chambers built above the Laboratory of limbs Lifeless or writhing A black star shines forever Night down upon An inescapable horror The vortex of earth and death The disarray and tyranny From disorder to chaos We are rotting from within Underground, under skin Of ruined worlds and solar winds Invocate eternal rites Cutting eyelids, revealing sights As we enter the blackest nights
4.
The last of human kind awash the bloodied shores Layers of polished gears, cybernetic forms Above atmospheres rest the immortals With skyward reach we implore Moments of indirect time, circular forces accelerate Wells of darkness in warring lands Breath in the ice, exhausting all life With skyward reach we implore Ever-desperate remaining breath Lightning strikes across reflective skies Blinding all who see In those final breaths You said “I’m now ready for death Leave me here, stay where you are I’m traveling back to the blackest star Once I’ve died go onward now and live your life Forget about me, what all I’ve done I tried my best but the darkness won” Reflective skies blinding all who see
5.
Cryogenesis 05:59
Still and glacial The night will return Hidden by fires, engulfed in smoke The innocent supply the organs With hides of history Reaching pathways beneath The still of nothingness When wrapped in shadows of cold concrete Alone inside the mind Captive to the machine and left to die Still and glacial The night will return Hidden by fires, engulfed in smoke The innocent supply the organs With hides of history Reach the pathways beneath Inner doctrine, outer divination The edicts of erosion The heat of progress in the timeless engines That burn in unison Doomed and dominated Thrashed and beaten The bodies of the tortured Doomed and dominated Thrashed and beaten The bodies of the martyrs Doomed and dominated Thrashed and beaten The bodies of the damned
6.
Rise 03:41
Shattered stars across the skies Planets align Infinite woe binds Threads of time Remove our skins of mortal’s men Rise above and die inside Lie, suspend Entombed, descend To rise again Awake, ascend Blood red rivers falling An endless pit that’s calling Our bodies to recline Awaking entities that shone eons ago Forbidden science, forbidden tomes Sacred knowledge now restored Lie, suspend Entombed, descend To rise again Awake, ascend Shattered stars, threads of time Rise above and die, die inside
7.
Mortals swept away and left to die Inside the pyres of humanity Technology—the engines of immortals With limb and lung, sage and demon In my tomb of grief, silver gold The path towards howling wailing shrieks A vessel to capture icy breath Filter and freeze in atomic airs The solitude, the glacial frost Penetrates the flesh Eternal shrouds, the frozen flame Fusions of the profane Sown shut, tightly wound The coffin navigates The burnt out stars Leviathans encased Suspend atop the thrones of heaven The deathless and the dead In their frozen sleep the coffin now descends Captive within the blinding light The cyclical gods, virtues that rot us to waste Within/without transcends our symmetry Vacuity fills the fiery entity Scattered amongst robotic remains Flicker against moons Memories of immortals Of hearts that once pumped blood Sown shut, tightly wound The coffin navigates The burnt out stars

about

The Curse of Immortality looks forward to a future where the limitations on existence are no more, for better or for worse. Less a formal concept album from its predecessor, the eight tracks loosely depict a protagonist whose failed attempts at suicide have placed him into a rehabilitation center wherein clandestine medical personnel experiment on the captured and unconscious patients at night in chambers below. Through a combination of cryogenetics, evil rites, and state control, the subject involuntarily becomes the first successful completed case for verified immortality - a life that will no longer require death. The music and the lyrics found throughout are darker, heavier, and faster than anything Crystal Coffin have released and stand as the sonic culmination of the band's efforts and intentions over the past six years.
