about

After the end of the world survivors sing nihilistic anthems. This one is dedicated to those who came before and didn't care about the future; and to the one and only H. P. Lovecraft.

lyrics

Mankind always seeks a truth
Endlessly questions the meaning of life
Science, can’t help us ease our pain
Our beliefs exist to keep us sane

Sometimes a lonely man falls into darkness
Trying to bind modern and ancient
Staring into infinity ‘til madness
He finds nothing but this lament

We were nothing
To the Old Ones
We are nothing
To the Old Ones

There is no God
There is no Man
We're just a drop
In the ocean
Stranger to life
Stronger than death
Through aeons rise
Forgotten depths

A tear in the sea is not even close
To demonstrate how insignificant we are
No truth is found inside our mind
We just are, no scheme behind

Sometimes a lonely man falls into darkness
Trying to bind modern and ancient
Staring into infinity ‘til madness
He finds nothing but this lament

We were nothing
To the Old Ones
We are nothing
To the Old Ones

The selfishness of the ancient cannot be explained
Fading fast into the ashes of the past
The void only answers now
In the cold dead gaze of the old one

We are nothing
To the Old Ones
Nous ne sommes rien
Face aux Anciens

There is no God
There is no Man
We're just a drop
In the ocean
Stranger to life
Stronger than death
Through aeons rise
Forgotten depths

The Old Ones are here as a reminder
We’re just a scream through the nether
That’s the only truth we’ll ever find
So Embrace your life before you die

about

Once Upon the End Paris, France

Among the silent ruins of the Ancient world, and inspired by used recordings of old, five survivors roam the broken streets to blast and shout the loudest music: a testimony of this last age.
