The sun leaves on its own A simple passage of the days that I have wasted I feel the summer slipping through These aging fingers Compelled to walk upon the same path that I have tread so long Still nothing changes A simple passage to a place that I have come to know I still remember A better time When the thoughts that we had connected Between our open eyes We say goodbye, to a life that's been mostly silent Erroneously lead Strive to complete myself It seems my work is never truly done I see your face, barely through the haze You see a life, erroneously lead There's hope in younger days There's warmth within the past that's so familiar I forget just why I came here I hope that you remember Home All this time I've wasted In my self-righteous anger Oh the years I've lost To this profound indifference I find my direction A solemn duty owned Mine, it is mine alone To watch this world expire Like machines, we embrace Cold limbs connect A silent, errored life Slipping into oblivion Lead astray through endless days Silent now, the words so loud My mind is drifting out Between perception of a dream and what is real Now all I have is lost with you I hope that you remember A better time When the lights were all so candescent That reached me from the sky We say goodbye, to a life within dead horizons Erroneously lead Strive to escape myself It seems my work is never truly done I see your shape, falter in the wake Of a life erroneously lead

What a great group of songwriters. Not trying to compare them to Lamb of God, but they have very similar 'in your face' aspects with the composition and flow of the piece. And the production is on point. Everything melds together; nothing gets lost. Keep coming back here, and that is why. My ass don't need rippin' solos and 32nd sustained blasts to be happy (although I do enjoy). Just solid, kick ass, beer drinkin', joint lightin', sweet lady makin' out, sweaty metal hug happy jams. 10/10, will recommend. Prost, from CT.

We mainly went to see Cattle Decapitation but Rivers of Nihil and Nekrogoblikon stole the damn show. Nekrogoblikon had us jumping and partying while John Goblikon hit on and hugged my wife. But man, I had a feeling of deep reflection and thought as Rivers of Nihil played with soul and introspective. Damn, I can't believe I missed out on this band for a good minute.

I discovered this song around the time I was finishing reading a book called 'Remains of the day' by Kazuo Ishiguro (Nobel Prize winning author). Seems weird but the lyrics of this song go hand in hand with the ending of the book. Thinking about change and reflecting on a life 'erroneously led'. Pretty absurd to think of a reserved old English butler in relation to metal, but both pieces of work are ruthlessly existential. "Oh the years I’ve lost, To this profound indifference, I find my direction, A solemn duty owned" Think there's an award winning movie based on the book aswell..
