"...the closing The Porcupine Dilemma which feels like a conclusion pulling all before it into a final immense release of passion, the album is a tremendous example of songwriting. It is a statement of far reaching atmospheres brought from the melding of heavy and stirring sounds with emotive and ardent dark to light feelings by the band" (RingMasters review)

we are all our memories
that float around like ghosts
our mistakes carved ever so deep
haunting reminders of human frailty

failures beyond grasp
our innuendos of fear
merge with escapist fantasies
of milder, grief struck still-lifes

etched firmly within ourselves
turning nightmares into daybreak
dreaming the shine of reality
tiny shards of light

chorus:
once the storm has set
only bent eyes remain
this inner evil laughs
charred knees laid to rest

winds caress iced faces
frowned with harvest of ages
wearing the streets 'breath
the mischievous night, its bottomless flair
