We live our meaningless lives And like all others we'll die meaningless deaths We have allowed ourselves to wander all the time Reaching no end, we've made it our birthright O brethren, don't you deny How small we've become Even the ones with their heads in the clouds Get them cut off at last Their great expectations reduced To the most average goals in their sorry lives We've been wandering all our lives Lost in woods, dancing in mist Down the crooked path we walked with eyes towards the Sun Now floating downstream I choćbyś próbował ile sił I tak porwie cię miernoty rynsztok Przeminiesz.

Persevering in the world of bias Reality of exclamation marks Where mediocrity becomes the new extraordinaire All in rapture Before another golden calf Long has man squandered his dignity Gone are the last vestiges of virtue All value erased By laudations of weakness No one dares to call by name Higher! We fan the flame When all profoundness seems to be but a cause long lost And relativism seems to have no end Instead of keeping our intentions pure We play the same old guessing game And no one cares the stakes have never been high for us We are all losers at the end of the day Seeking comfort in feverish laughter Hopelessly pretending someone else Higher! We fan the flame Dalej We fan the flame

Some are banned from knowing life as it is Others know it way too well Some lives are bound to dim away too fast While others are doomed to vainly last Forced out of their mothers' wombs Taking path of least resistance While others keep on measuring the void For days on end As here and now becomes a waiting room For a brighter dawn Which doesn't seem to come We keep on waking up in a purgatory Which is turning Into the burial ground of ours As future evaporates We find ourselves stuck in a moment On our way to eternity Sometimes it's the act of running Straight into the flames And burning oneself to death That makes the life worth living And matter in the bigger picture On a larger scale In a wider context

Trembling 03:21
Burnt leaves Moist Earth And ever colder evenings Birds are flying low Beating of a drum, chime of a bell October falls Trembling hands Faces so pale Into the pharynxes of hell We fall
5.
The pendulum swings And with each swing a longer shadow is cast We belong to the world of matter And as dust we will become one with the ground Seizing days, taking all for granted Bred to consume, not to experience All surface, no substance We're leaving but ash behind Like a nebula we haunt Like a whirlwind of randomness blind Traceless for the world to come Transient forevermore Flesh falls, no ghost lifts Terror, fear, repulsion and awe Shall fill the hearts of men When death's sickle is risen To bring the ultimate orgasm of life As climax begets climax Iron is driven through flesh Teeth decay, body turns pale Cadaverine scent fills the air Miotamy się za życia jak dusza Co nie może wyzwolić się od ciała* A ciało ciąży niby brzemię Trudno odrzucić świata zalotne uroki Przepędzić jak mary, w nieistnienie Gdy za jakiś czas przyjdzie nam spotkać śmierć Gdzieś na skraju życia, które dobiega końca Czy będziemy w stanie spojrzeć jej prosto w oczy W których odbije się to, co po sobie zostawiliśmy?** Vanitas in excelsis Et omnia vanitas */** stolen from Włochaty
6.
Futility 03:46
I summon hyenas, flies and vultures Leftovers will make you foam at mouths Sharpen your tusks or just circle 'round this excrement of natural selection Come all ye scribes and eye witnesses A record will be set in forcing open doors Subject to dispute by the most exquisite Pimps of reason and lowlifes of all sorts Everyone shines so perfectly With the reflected light, having burned their own out And it feels way better to see deep blue oceans Instead of the reeking cesspool of life It's gold rush with no gold left whatsoever A feat in mining out of the barren Earth Burrowing deep through infertile soil Delving into the dried riverbed A paradox that keeps the world turning We last in love of the life we truly hate
7.
The Rift 01:08
8.
Another year and we're still here Our days are nothing but killing time Nothing but different shades of nowhere And a slow-paced countdown to the great nothing We've been given an illusion of power To sculpt the skyline with bare hands In truth, all we can reach out for Is an edge of a dull blade Fortune does not favour dreamers Most were born or encouraged to become As thirty winters come to pass, it turns out Well, our limit is much below the sky All pledge allegiance to the great leveller A punishing arm of mediocrity's rule Militant Schadenfreude The burden of lesser men

about

Following their critically acclaimed third album, In Twilight's Embrace announce that their fourth full-length, Vanitas, will be released on 22 September 2017, through Arachnophobia Records. 

Vanitas sees In Twilight's Embrace evolve into their own entity; taking a deathly and personal direction. Vanitas is the band's darkest material to date, both lyrically and musically. “Having confronted several deaths of family members and friends, made me realise the true weight of mortality,” confesses vocalist, Cyprian Łakomy. “The realisation paved the way for reflections which would later become the backbone of the lyrics and atmosphere on Vanitas”. This is not just another gimmick to create a death worshipping album. There's far more to it. Cyprian adds: “death is an opportunity to ask questions about the here and now, and what kind of legacy - if any at all - we are possibly leaving”.

Established in 2003 in Poznań, Poland, In Twilight's Embrace took the metal media by storm when they released their third album, The Grim Muse. Featuring the world-famous Tomas Lindberg of At the Gates as a guest vocalist, the album showcased focused songwriting, relentless riffs, a disciplined rhythm section and vitriolic vocals. The Grim Muse was followed by the release of a three-track EP entitled Trembling, which notably saw the band explore their punk roots with a cover of “Opowieść Zimowa” - a song by legendary Polish act Armia. The quality of In Twilight's Embrace is not only reflected in the studio, as they frequently tour their homeland with appearances at the famous Metalmania Festival, Castle Party, and with future confirmed dates opening for the legendary Immolation during their Polish tour (with more to be announced for 2017-18).
