Consequence of Time

by Pale Divine

Count Snackula It's hard to say that this album is the evolutionary pinnacle of heavy metal, but it's also hard to say that it's not.

With the clean vocals, proud organ and near-total lack of thrash, you've got to acknowledge an old-school bent.

Then again, the elements that have inspired every heavy-metal musician and fan since before there was a name for this music are here and polished to perfection.

It bridges generations of sound and taste but also sounds like a band just having a blast.

Buy it now.

Elric of Melniboné All songs are good here. Solid album. But the reason you must buy this is the title track 'Consequence of Time'. Instant classic. It towers high above the rest of the album and looks down on it with haughty disdain. Hopefully PD can put out even more songs of this level in the future.

trainh13 The addition of a second vocalist has really elevated Pale Divine's brand of throwback doom. Pair that with a more progressive approach to songwriting and you have one of the best albums of the year. Most importantly, it has the one thing any self-respecting metalhead needs: RIFFS!!!!! Favorite track: Tyrants & Pawns (Easy Prey).

You stand your ground but what’s to gain You lead the charge of your own campaign You raise the flag in the name of doom You're a mercenary in a lonely room Deny the truth Conjure conspiracy for an audience so willing to believe Repeat the lie So many times you find an open mind that’s ready for deceit. chorus: A war of words Passes time away And your ignorance makes you easy prey Before our eyes Invited tragedy has grown beyond your means Just a pawn in another’s game You cast your fate on me repeat chorus: Trial by fire, take hold the flame With lighted torch you lead the way Divide and conquer, faithful followers rage In this hell create your domain Lead the way
2.
Lost and forgotten Haunting shadows loom In the cold moonlight I awaken Dead but dreaming no longer lie in wait Return to me in altered state I will cry out from across this sea of light Renewal by fire the earth scorched clean I create the meaning in our designed obsolescence The visions of light created in dream Join me my love our song was left unsung Or return to darkness forever scorned I was once the promise spoken to you in a dream I remain elusive, unreal I was once forgiveness that you couldn’t do without For my love your suffering will serve meaning chorus: Our avenging angels now in ashen wing The dark abyss stares into my soul No escape from your lifeless eyes To serve in heaven or reign in hell solo 2nd chorus: Our avenging angels now in ashen wing The dark abyss stares into my soul May you suffer no remorse To serve in heaven or reign in hell I return to you

Shadows Own 02:51
Into darkness I escape Through a starless night I run Underneath closed eyes Overseer unseen Return to you, enter into the dream chorus: Power will be revoked taken in cold blood Redemption takes it's shape In the shadows above Dismantled from the shame Ghosts born of the past Rising from their depths once silenced by death Taking back the night is their claim and their right repeat chorus
4.
It hurts, to see When it all came down on me All of the nights I was cowering in my shame The fall, before Through the eyes that seemed to call Their cold embrace sent me falling again by your side chorus: The light of day The time that was wasted away I'm alone again like a martyr betrayed by my pride I could never let you go The hours of pain The void that still remains Feeling the loss within this moral divide The power you held kept me longing to be by your side 2nd chorus: The light of day The time that was wasted away I'm alone again like a martyr betrayed by my pride I had to let you go Beneath a summer moon I waited for you I can barely remember But it happened too soon And so it would be What could be the odds That it started to rain Then we tried it again But it was never the same And so it shall be And so it shall be.... And so it shall be...
5.
Awaken with you beneath the old oak tree In deaths dream kingdom our eyes finally meet Lost in the context of creations design In the illusion that we were ever alive Come the cold mourning, the ritual of light Suffering serves me, embrace what is mine At one with the eternal, lost stars align Return my rightful place at your side I look to the moon as she drowns me in earth Forever in darkness I wait She sang me her song as I walked through the haze Enchanted, bewitched and betrayed Trapped in the paradox and horror of this life Lost in creations design Against all nature, her will to survive In the illusion that we were ever alive She had my consent as she told me her lies As I lay on a bed of decay Asleep but awake as I cry out in vain Enchanted, bewitched and betrayed
6.
Always moving forward By perpetual design Can't avoid the outcome Even if we try chorus: Youth is wasted on the young So the elders say Some will go the distance While others fade away An underestimated force Too powerful to tame repeat chorus: solo repeat chorus: Time will tell the course we take Along the way Along the way Outside my window I hear the children play Their lives have just begun As mine fades away Feels so cold so cold Return to earth, into ash By the gardens cold moonlight The looming shadows would take the life that was mine The consequence of time To defy your will and suffer alone The only way out I see into the haunting silence The illusions behind your eyes Of hopes and dreams all forsaken Never to be realized The consequence of time To escape your eyes that follow in dream The void of the abyss stares into me To defy your will and suffer alone The only way out Return to earth, into ash By the gardens cold moonlight The looming shadows would take the life that was mine The consequence of time Suffer the consequence of time

No Escape 03:43
Cold as the wind On a dead winter night I still hear her voice in my head Eyes like a snake And heart made of stone Cast down from heaven to burn chorus: Oh, time cannot heal All that we live to regret Oh, there is no escape From all of the crosses we bear A hatred for life And a lust for deceit She's mutates in shapes of the damned This brooding betrayer A teller of lies She revels in grief and despair repeat chorus: The devil's revealed She’s inside your mind Preying on all that you fear A word to the wise Through rose colored eyes This serpent cannot be concealed
8.
We are the lost Forgotten by all The wayward sons of earth Submission be damned Loyal to none but our own By virtue of scorn The fire was lit That guided our way through the dark Then on through the night Committed to face it alone Perpetual wounds That time couldn't heal Despised by those we once loved The warning was heard Then one by one they all fell Forced to bear the burden Of pain bestowed on me It feels maligned this point in time that seized our souls Slowly growing anger reveals apostasy The one whose name was called in vain has risen again All in your mind Seen through the eyes of a cold unfeeling ghost. See the rising sun through the falling rain. Anguish blinds the soul but seasons change All alone they call your name. An image conceived in your mind. Once again when night and day collide and winds arise to keep... chorus: Calling out again Tearing at your mind Haunting in your soul Raging in your heart Rising to control You feel entombed Frozen and alone The wound remains To endure You're holding on to a frozen point in time For far too long it keeps... 2nd chorus: Calling out again Tearing at your mind Haunting in your soul Raging in your heart Trying to control
