A Message from Jason, Brendan, Mitchell, Aaron and C.J.,

In the previous months the band had planned to release our single on June 5th, along with promotion through different social media platforms. This was before the brutal, unjust murder of George Floyd and the waking up of the public to the international civil rights movement of Black Lives Matter and hundreds more fighting for humanity.

The single was uploaded weeks ago for distribution on June 5th. Instead of pulling the release we will be using it to elevate those causes through our platform. Instead of advertising and promoting we will be making a donation of $100 as a band to Black Lives Matter Solidarity Fund NS.

The single is a story of self realization and growth. A song can mean something different to every person, and that meaning can still change with time.

“ʙᴏᴜɴᴅ ʙʏ ɴᴀʀʀᴏᴡ ᴘᴇʀꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛɪᴠᴇꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ʟɪᴍɪᴛᴇᴅ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇꜱ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴇᴘɪᴘʜᴀɴʏ ʀᴇɴᴅᴇʀꜱ ᴍᴇ, ʙʀᴇᴀᴛʜʟᴇꜱꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴏᴠᴇʀᴡʜᴇʟᴍᴇᴅ”

This line rings true in our hearts in many different ways reflecting on these recent events. The epiphany of our own narrow perspectives has shown even more than before that violence, hatred and apathy towards the Black community is prevalent, absolutely real, and disgusting.

All proceeds from buying this single through Bandcamp will be donated to the Black Lives Matter Solidarity Fund NS in perpetuity. That means all sales, forever.

Stand with us and all those fighting in this amazing civil rights movement. Take the time to listen, support, donate and educate yourself and others about these racial injustices happening EVERY SINGLE DAY.

“ᴀ ᴘᴀɪɴꜰᴜʟ ᴘᴏꜱꜱɪʙɪʟɪᴛʏ, ʙᴇᴄᴏᴍᴇꜱ ʀᴇᴀʟɪᴛʏ,
ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ɴᴏ ᴡᴀʏ ꜰᴏʀ *ᴜꜱ* ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴛᴜʀɴ, ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ ᴛʜɪɴɢꜱ ᴜꜱᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ”

Revelations
Performed by Dark Shrine
Music by J. Botham
Lyrics by J. Botham

(VERSE 1)

A new world is realized, it reveals itself to me
Never beheld before by a mortal's mind
Enigmatic state of truth blended with hate
It beckons to me from deep within to follow its obscured path

(VERSE 2)

Bound by narrow perspectives and limited experiences
This epiphany renders me breathless and overwhelmed
Forced to cope with this grand knowledge
I fear that it may be too much for the human mind to bear

(CHORUS)

The truth of it all comes rushing towards me
Shrouded by clouds and shadows
The light that unveils this sacred discovery
Holds me and keeps me within

(BRIDGE)

A moral conundrum that cannot be contained
An inner struggle to be fought
This burden that weighs down upon my soul
Will surely be the death of me
My mind races fast, I don't know what to do
My senses are numbed and replaced by fear
I cannot continue to live this way
(A decision must be made soon)

Torn apart by indecision and faced with an impossible choice
I can't begin to contemplate the meaning of this revelation
Brought into existence, by my naive curiosity
My own foolishness will be the source of my demise

(VERSE 3)

A painful possibility becomes reality
There is no way for me to return back to the way things used to be
My curiosity has lead me astray and I followed it to my undoing
Perhaps it is better to live in ignorance

(CHORUS)
