The Void Stares Back is the first single in a series by Fixation Arc. Written and recorded remotely, it's described as "a headlong dive into darkness, chaos and an entropic universe. It's about seeing things for what they are, and the meaningless rituals we use to forget what's crawling up from the abyss."
Fixation Arc is:
Guitar: Daryl Rabidoux
Bass: Philip Jamieson
Drums: Justin Foley
Vocals: Jonathon Newby
Lyrics
Ceremony
Rituals of humility
Only to degrade
Nothing there the void is staring back
Underneath the veil
Nothing there just chaos breathing
Whispering decay
Raging torrent of a deadly silent sea
Oceanic undertow
Breathing air is breathing smoke
Scream into the void again
The wretched eyes open to see nothing
Witch hunt underway
Stream of consciousness to pray
Fire burns it all away
darkness calls, the watcher watches over me
More truth than lie
Now I am become Death
More truth than lie
Now I am become Death
Destroy it all the void it calls
Destroy it all the void it calls again
Supermassive
My body stops at the horizon
Where the void stares back
