Sacrifice 08:16
Poison, and consumption 
Feeling warmth within the veins
 Which needs persuasion to stay
 Devastated by my presumption
 Fingers trace the lines within 
Conjuring the seraphim 
Singing with an open throat 
I recite the sacred lines
 “Please accept this gift of blood
 Blood accepted by the one
 Willfully given by the son 
Blood accepted by the sun” And my tears mean nothing here 
Nothing pure comes from my fear
 Nothing is all I’ll be
 Because nothing is all I’ve seen 

Fingers trace the lines within
 Conjuring the seraphim 
Lying with an open throat
 I recited sacred lines

 “Accept this gift, this sacrifice
 And acknowledge the holy price 
As I say my holy rites 
I have chosen paradise” 

And nothing lies within
 Nothing is all I’ll be
 Nothing is foreseen 
I’m left with all my sins
2.
Descend 08:02


Descend
 Rescind 
I mourn
 Again


 Cast away this light
 Candles cease to breathe
 All that I have left 
Is borne of blood and grief

 Descend
 Rescind 
No life 
To give 

Choke upon the ash 
Of those who’ve come to pass 
For nothing in this life 
Is ever meant to last 

And all that’s come to pass
 Tears borne of the past 
Tears that flow like water 
And blood upon the glass I mourn at Last 

Descend 
Dismissed 
Descent
 Persists

3.
Silence surrounds us
 As the scent
 of rotting leaves
 And spent incense
 is removed Feed the flame 
Feed the flame Exhumed
; Preserve us as We step
 off this plane 
And crippled forms
 are removed
 
Feed the flame Weeping echoes on 
O’er these hills
 And finds its rest 
On the graves
 we inhabit
 White flowers turn to grey
 As they grow
 on our graves 
Decomposed, doomed to stay
4.
Cold 08:16
Burning
 Put this flame to rest
 Silence in the words 
Bitter on the breath 

Yearning
 For unending rest
 Absence of the breath Winter in the chest 

Night
 Cloaks for us to wear 
Cloaks we’re doomed to bear
 Burn the hallowed flesh 

Light 
Left within, within your stare
 And life, no longer there
 Left in your last breath

 And light within the air 
Fed by flame and prayer 
Illuminated us 
Who only know despair Light 
Left within, within your stare
 And life, no longer there 
Left in your last breath You’ll return to me in Hell
5.
Fade 06:56


Standing at the gates
 Holding all you gave 
Recall our last embrace
 I held your broken frame 

The last time I approached
 This house built for the dead
 Hear the precious song 
Left inside my head

 And when I found your name
 I touched your porcelain grave 
Three years to the day 
I wish I could stay
 But closure never comes 
And time has all but numbed 
I still wake in the dark 
And hear that precious song

 Broken, bleeding 
I feel nothing 
Like your visage Broken, bleeding 
I feel nothing 
Like your visage 
I am fading Fading

about

Temple Auburn, Washington

Formed in late 2017 by primary songwriter Brett Sheldon and lyricist Kyle Noyer, Temple is a fulfillment of a desire to write dark, crushing doom metal, borne of a need to be both thematic and melodic in its approach. Drawing influences from acts like Doom:VS, Swallow The Sun, and Daylight Dies, both members crafted a poignant debut full of anguish, mourning, and dread. ... more
