lyrics

Ambition turned into insanity
Playing God, dangerous profanity
Desperation, nowhere to run
Desolation, just waiting for her turn

Full of fear, unprecedented scene
Pailful glimpse of her lost humanity
No intention to amend her mistakes
But to seek an option away from planet Earth

In the lookout for a shortcut
Facing death is not an option
Science can’t save her now
Life cannot be bought with gold

Orianna: —Should I stay and embrace the curse from all my crimes?
Should I try in vain?
Should I try to run away, save myself and leave it all behind?
That would be the end, the end of it all—

Obsessive thoughts now run through her head
Of a secret weapon with stories unheard
The dark project an outer space mystery
A spacecraft set for another galaxy

Neglected ship, there is no time to care
About other galaxies with all this tragedy on Earth
Realizing a way to make it hers
Resolved to leave the planet she just helped to eradicate

Planet won’t stand a chance
Corrupted by humans’ commands
The space station starts to tremble
In her heart, countdown echoes

Orianna: —I should travel through time and space
In search for other life, I will try in vain
I will find a way to fix myself, start again, no one can stop me now
That would be the end, the end of humankind—

The Oubliette
by The Reticent

supported by 4 fans who also own “Dark Project I: Despair”

There are many concept albums I like, but most of the time the concept at best serves as a gimmick that motivates me to listen to the album in one go. The Oubliette's take on dementia, by contrast, I find truly moving. On top of it, this is stellar progressive metal. c_c_chaos
