"When vocalist Andy Mac first joined Divinitas to complete the band’s lineup in late 2023, a once in a lifetime opportunity arose for the group to begin telling the intricate and deep story behind the lovecraftian-style world ending event, known as the band’s name.
Flourishing with themes of impending extinction, lost love, universal glitches and foreshadowing nightmares, ‘It’s All Gone Quiet Now’ is the first installment in a long line of releases dedicated to telling a story that will unfold over time.
The album name’s meaning though, is really an intentional double entendre. A reference to the brief bliss of a split-second where one’s loud thoughts could totally disappear, and the pin drop realisation moment of silence before something devastating is about to happen. The 40 minute album aims to be the calm before the storm before the effect of the Divinitas really starts to be seen across the world.
With Divinitas, it’s safe to say that the mix of genres and unconventional song structures make for an exciting listen with unexpected twists and turns as the story unfolds."
'ERROR 1.0'
It's my turn now / Restraint from the wayside of sanity / Reach through the fault lines of clarity / Reset this world to a memory / Erase all memories
Light up the flares / That signal up to the skies / A fallen world gone blind / To their own demise / Five entities looking down at me / An error caught in the code from The Realm Beneath
So spring the trap and sink your teeth / I've got a gun in my hand if you know what I mean / I can hear myself saying out loud / Why won't you just listen to me?
今静かになった！
It's all gone quiet now / So don't save me / Don't point at me
For I'm the maker of my own fate / And my shadows are lurking in my visceral dreams
'LUCID'
Will the figure move this time / Or is it waiting crouched at my bedside / Given form, with the pulsing of my eyes / New terrors born with each breath / I can't seem to find
Why won't it leave / The flicker in its eyes / Watch over me like Morta / The image moves around towards me / It whispers into my ear / Everything is a dream
Fight or flight / The choice is not mine / I lay motionless awaiting my post-mortem / How much I would give to crawl back to the light / Like an hourglass in space I cannot / Catch my fucking breath
The strangest eyes / Are the strangers eyes / The strangest eyes (are the strangers eyes) / He stands tall, a mocking stature glaring at my lifeless body / The strangest eyes (are the strangers eyes) / The whispers they enter, your soul is mine for taking
The strangest eyes / As dawn gives in to dusk / Alive / But only on the inside / The more I try to exit / This limbo I have entered / The more I succumb to the quicksand in my mind / Paralysed / I've lost the gift of sight / But now I see more than I've envisioned in my mind / The darkest corners of my mind, they spring to life / Perpetually reliving / The fear of stillness
Stone deaf / Clenched fists / Lost all sense of the way I free myself from this / Dragged once more deep into this disconcerting / Nowhere scape / Stalked by the shape / With its hands in my mouth / Clawing at the core of me
You will never win / You will never win / You will never win / You will never win
'YOU KILLED THE BEST IN ME'
If God exists He'd better ask for forgiveness / "I cannot breathe, you're choking me. You're choking me, I cannot breathe" / Hear through the doors: the agony, the pain you caused / But that's what you get for killing the best in me
And now I'm burning inside / Lying face down / Running from the shadows in the dark whose faces contort / I grasp on to a gold cross hoping that they'll come and save me but they might as well say: / "Burn apostates / Burn the wreckage / Burn up fucking everyone who dares to defy my word" / You're the wolf that cries and you victimise / Then you take all that I've got and let yourself ascend to the divine
Thread the needle through my eye / You put me here for the taking / Now I've fallen behind and I'm the one they hate / I'll be the one they hate / I'll be the one they hate
You killed the best in me
Frenzied disease and the fathers lust / To breathe life into a rusted cross
And every curse, it still feeds me / And still nobody ever needs me / I cut my ties and the rain turns to rust / And it's safe to fucking say: You killed the best in us
I hope I find a way to claw myself out from these chains / The memories they're feeding me will never be the same as what I dreamed I'd always be, but now that time has changed / Now all I hear is distant people screaming my name
You killed the best in me
'IMPACT'
...and on the sixth day the clay turned flesh / And then its rib became the second / Forked tongue in the branches rests / Nesting a coiled pretender
Take away his vile stare so estranged / These eyes of mine never did see much anyway / The grace we knew decayed / Now drawn a sneer of shame / The Godhead frowns at the sickened sound of our vanity
Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me / Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me
Now serenade the saint in me / The first, the last, of siphons giving freely / Drained another second chance / To claw myself back from deep inside the mirror's trance
The devil stays inside / Chained to the labyrinth's of my mind
Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me / Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me
I'm not gonna listen to your wicked commands / I've got an army of people standing at the temple / Ready to open fire upon your devilish words / Try to control me... I fucking dare you / I fucking dare you
'ETERNAL RETURN'
The way is shut / The trail runs cold / I double back to the way I was told
My heart it seems would set the tone / I'll find her through the entropy
These voices that command me they will drag me down / I may never make it out of here / Retrace the steps that I have left and circle round / I will follow them till they disappear
Like Orpheus the same reason / Take me back to the edge of the sun / Where my heart goes cold for all but one
For this is where it begins / Cleanse me of all of my sins / Watch as the ground around me / Falls away from all of my senses / That I'm losing defences / For my actions in the past / We'll see who's laughing last / As I look up to see / The sky is catching fire / To the fall of an empire / So let me climb the tower to find some sense because / Nothing in the world is the same / Falling code spells out my name / I feel that this whole time there’s been a force here following me
As I kneel down the open void gives chase I begin to flee / Find sense in the Godheads around me / Find sense in the forgiveness they gave / Find sense in the nightmares I continue to flee / And find sense in the people I have / Saved
The nightmares of my past / They call for me / Now here deep in the silence /
Flashback to I'm chained / Up against my domain / Intertwine with my soul
I'll let you in / And we shall locate our end
These voices command me / They are all here right now / These voices command me / They are all here right now
Flash of cryonic skies / Above the depths of tides / The light has faded away / To shades of black again / Imitate learn and erase / I'll find you through the rains
/ I'll reach the depths of beneath / Won't stop till we find peace / I'll reach for the orb of life / Be my Eternal Return
'MIRROR FICTION'
The thoughts in my head / Will stay till I'm dead / I see them in red / The shadows of dread / Think of it at night / This eternal fight / Paint it black and white / All I feel is spite with everything I write
Self hatred / The force within me / Self hatred / The force within me
When the time goes by / Self esteem runs dry / Can't seem to deny / All these blatent lies / When I feel alone / Take blame on my own / Get out of this zone / Won't be sure to phone anyone I've known
Everything is so confusing / Everything is suffering / All I really seem to do is sit right here and hate on me / Everything is so confusing / Everything is suffering / All I really seem to do is sit right here and hate on me
Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's the same old rhyme
Sometimes I hurt myself / But most times I'm filled with my self loathing / They feel no sympathy, no / No one will care at all / Just do it / Let the rivers of blood / Flow into the sink / Cut myself / Can't seem to understand, no / Can't seem to quell the thoughts inside me
All I want is happiness / All I want is true self worth / All I want is self security / All I want is happiness / All I want is true self worth / All I want is self security / All I want is to look in the mirror / And like what I see / All I want is to look in the mirror / And like what I see
'DEATH DIRECTS THE BULLET'
Begin! / This nightmare of presence / Looking through the glass eye of death / These souls that pull me down here / Below the surface deep into the undertow / For there is no escape for us / Another banner for us to waste ourselves / To start reaping their souls / For them / For us / Living is breathing / We work for them
For I know these feelings of solace can be found there / Deeper and deeper I go into the crazed mind of Azrael / No longer safe in my mind / So I start a prayer / Try to convince myself that / Nothing will change
I think of all the times they betrayed my kind / Why do they seem to forsake me with their lies / I can't see the reasons for your patience towards your patients / No NO NO! / The bloodied eyes with the cries of your victims near / No virgin soul should be here in this menagerie / I can't remember the last time I wept / So maybe it'll be at those pearly / GATES
Although my head is heavy now / With the thoughts of my own death / As it falls to the ground / I shall never sink to the sound / Of great waters or thunder / Nothing can deafen the screams
IN NOMINE DEI NOSTRI / SATANAS LUCIFERI EXCELSI
These words will echo / Through the craters we have never known / The horned beast shall oversee this land of suffering / Shall become one with the abyss / And those in charge / Shall send us all to
PANDEMONIUM / I'll never see it again / Down the barrel the spirals of death
I've never seen a light like this before / It strikes a tone with me deep in my core / The depths of my soul seem to open / An ethereal feeling that makes me numb / To the pain of my thoughts / To the pain of existence / I fall to the ground in a comfortable daze / They'll accept my soul as one of many / But this isn't the end
I wake / A broken man / To a desolate planet / Unknown to me / As the effluvium of sulphur fades / There stands a shining demon / Why won't you let me go / INTO INFERNO
These eyes of mine / Have seen the end like never before / There is nothing but blood / Nothing but gore / Nothing but the flood / Of angels standing there / Let me change my words / Why don't I show you where it HURTS
'SILENT CELESTIAL'
Sometimes I feel like there's a mask on me / There's no one here to hear my cries
I look into my future life / And I see a silver light / And it feels like I can't breathe / You were drowning in the silence / When she grew her wings and flew / And the skies opened up / As I walk through the place beneath / A siren calls my name / As it echoes through my trust / Sometimes I feel like somebody else / And I'm falling alone / And I know this time I've lost
I'll tell you when the flood stops / As the sunrise rests on your wings again / So just tell me when the rain comes / And we'll fly through our skies to the storms end / Will it stop when I've seen enough? / At the surface gasping for air again / These questions for a saviour / To the left of the throne as the storm begins
Won't they come now / To the kingdom / Of wretched sinners / And believers /(Won't they come now) / A hollow of earth and mind / (To the kingdom) / Calls voiceless a soul enshrined / (Of wretched sinners) / Veiled by time beneath my feet / (And believers) / They'll wait their turn to be set free
Sometimes I feel like somebody else / And I'm falling alone / And I know this time I've lost / I'll tell you when the flood stops / As the sunrise rests on your wings again / So just tell me when the rain comes / Looking towards the sun I cry / Blinded by the rays of light / It reminds me of us / Like a dying star
Sometimes I feel like there's a mask on me / Sometimes I feel like there's a path I lead / Why can't I be myself? / Sometimes I feel like there's a mask on me / As I step out of the vision / I know I'll find your soul again / Out in the colourful void of time
