Oh, I must be dreaming A captive in side of this hell defeated and bleeding Breathless Descending the dunes alone inside the storm The captives alive in this cell Are writhing and screaming all Dead skin below my feet Callouses for declension on my own The hardened surfaces numb the heat and Mitigate the whittling and the breaking of my bones Endless direction destination obfuscation Deprivation of all senses and still I walk alone, heart of stone, astray in the unknown No, my purpose here is not apparent, it’s enigmatic The reason I would starve and scathe for the soul That compels me onward I can’t find the way I must go on Let go Let go, end slow Let go of all Falling below Into unknown Now rise Now with water lapping at my palms An oasis that I’ve conjured in defeat Attempting to deceive To split me into pieces and then tell me what they need Have all of you been watching me? Why did you let me starve? What kept you from protecting me? I couldn’t hear you screaming in the storm Tell me how you begged for my attention With a chain around your lips If it was your resolve to save me from myself Why did you let me die? Trembling as my knees meet the earth Along the darkened tide The waters are refracting All the parts that haven’t healed inside Oscillating revelations are rising from the waves I had not perished I was simply not awake The knight upheld my valour The soldier kept me safe The child was seeking comfort And the saviour hid the pain Let go, live whole Let go, into unknown

about

THE LAST ATLAS is a thematic "Part 2" to our 2018 single GLASS ATLAS. Join us on this epic and perilous journey of self-discovery and guitar riffs!

Originally intended as part of a concept album that never came to fruition, after seven years of re-works we are thrilled to finally release this into the universe. We hope you love it!

This Bandcamp-Exclusive download package includes:

- instrumental version
- artwork and lyric sheet
- complete guitar and bass tablature in .gpx format
- original Guitar Pro demo audio tracks of the concept album that never was (included as bonus tracks)
- storyboard and details of the original concept that inspired Glass Atlas and The Last Atlas
