"Darkest Reaches" is a standalone single to my heavy spoken word project "Torn From Silence." This song was originally written as a Betwixt Lungs release but wound up in the unfulfilled ideas folder from my many projects. Now it's found a home with TFS, and I hope you all enjoy it.

Lyrics:

I've tracked you across vast plains
a pursuit of shadow and depth
eager to seize a glimpse of your face
even if it costs me my last breath
I know that you'll be worth the…

PAIN

I will not rest until we coexist
I shall search
the farthest reaches of the earth
to feel your heart

YOUR HEART

I shall venture
into the darkest reaches of the earth
until I am sure
that love really is stronger than
DEATH
stronger than fucking death

I shall lose myself…
IN THE
DARKEST REACHES
OF YOUR…EARTH

FOR YOU ARE LOVE, FOR YOU ARE DEATH
APHOTIC ANGEL IN THE FLESH
SMILE UPON MY PENANCE

Let me dissolve in dissonance
