March of the Samsara
05:33

Awake again
breath out, breath in
My soul is worn
i've been here many times before
i need to breach this place
i'm bound to tempt the fates
I'll march until they know my name
I want to open my eye and melt into the arms of love
I want to break my mold and march into the great unknown

Beyond the Pale Society

All my life i've begged for this
and now my name is on your lips
hand me hell and let me in
a serpents touch from end to end
Can you fill the void with all of your light
can you bring the sound of love
We will fill your silence with our timeless sateless truth
we will fill your silence while we bind ourselves to you
Just say to me, we're the one true love
just say to me, i'm the one you want
I have to face the knout, the pyre
my life is yours, i'm ready to break out
i am the son of no one
i am in search of meaning
i am the last to suffer
i am the fear in healing
|

Pray for our love, heal thyself
holes for our eyes, we are bound
Analyze, sacrifice, live forever
we begin again bound
idolize, magnify, fall in the black
unbind
analyze, sacrifice, live forever
we have become bound
idolize, magnify, fall in the black
You have to feed us to see the beast
you have to give up and be the feast
Lost in life, we blind to see
all we know will set you free
(lost in the lie)
I want blood on my hands, a violence to face
i need you to wash me away, gouge my eyes
take me farther down the corridors through every chamber
at the centers of absolute power
i will course through the veins of the other
should it tear me apart take me over
i will reverse the forces of nature
i will turn every thought towards surrender
i will burn with the flames of the alter
i will become the starlight

Clean the Beast
04:28

Tend the spirit, take from the innocent
measure the heart, by the weight of it's contents
bend the coil, break down the objects
feather and soul are lost in the process
We're the sun on the rise, shine our light in you
we devote, we devote, we devour all you
break... I'm beloved
burn... I'm the one
bleed... with the knife
bloom... in you
A cleanser, a shaman will read from their tomes
the scarabs will burrow through the eye of a weak skull
devotion through silence, a strong back provides
the wheat from the chaff, the pain to purify
Hear me now, mark your flesh
sharp the knife, clean yourself
gather the monochrome light
a great flower unfolds
process, the eight tones ignite
at the feet of the Pharaohs
can you feel it, can you go
can you feel it, can you give up
that which bends break it down
that which breaks burn it down
that which bends break it down
that which withers seal it's tomb
A sacred invite, an all knowing eye
A sanctified life, will burn just fine
Your safety relies on self control
Your pineal flowers when you let go
(bend. break. burn. in bloom. tend. take. turn. entomb)
that which breathes let it drown
that which bleeds carve it out
that which withers seal it's tomb
that which flowers let it, let it bloom
The sacred in violence, an all knowing life
A sanctified crime devours on sight
your safety defies the selfs desires
your pineal cowers when you confine

Once we hid in the night
now our time has come
flames fall all around
let them sift through our love
Brave young, they will burn the night
brave lies, they have found us out
brave young, we are trapped alive
brave love, won't you spare us
From room to room we try and flee
our end is close
Brave young, they will burn the night
brave lies, they have found us out
brave young, we are trapped alive
brave love, won't you spare her now

Telepaths & Pyramids
04:40
|

|
I am no one, I am only a voice
I float into your mind and speak to your blinded eye
I say to you, your almost free
I say to you, just one final leap
lose your selves and come join the dissolve
soon you will calcify
aim for the heavens and never return
|

Masquerade in Veils
03:17
|
|||
|
On a stage, the passion owns the pain
a subtle force, a way to escape
time and fear will eat through every soul
train yourself as emotions take control
change your mask
I fear the hurt
destroy the self
you will reveal
let's change your world
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
I see it, we're all aligned
Free all the light you hold
free all the hurt you've known
free all the fire in love
(sing me your song)
Fall inside your sacred tones
we are the last unknown
hear the choir rise and fall with every pulse
sing me your song

Black Sarcophagus
06:15
|
|||
|
Seal the room, light the fire
burning clothes, the energy starts to flow
I am what i've learned, i meditate
my body shakes and the room starts to glow
Pouring over me, higher frequencies
the final hour, oh the pain, I'm devoured
The bearer of light, the primal tones
take my flesh and let me go
The final march, the seventh step
the death of this dream has come
All i have loved, all i have held
has led to the sea of one
all i have loved, all i have held
has led to the song of souls
Send me up now
send me up now
send me up now
i'm ready for time to die
i'm ready for infinite eyes

about
On March 3, 2017, Junius released their third full-length titled Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light. It was released and distributed via Prosthetic Records. Rolling Stone released Junius first music video "The Queen's Constellation,"Hear Junius' Crushing New Post-Metal Epic directed by Josh Graham on January 27, 2017.[22] Junius' second video "Clean the Beast"Junius was released by Clrvynt on February 14, 2017. The final video, "A Mass for Metaphysicians"Junius: Exklusive Video-Premier 'A Mass For Metaphysicians' was released on February 28, 2017 by Metal Hammer Magazine.
Martinez wrote all of the songs on his own before working them out in the studio with Filloon on drums; this album also features guests like Drew Speziale of Circle Takes the Square, who provides alternately soft and screamy backing vocals on several tracks. Eternal Rituals is based around Initiation, the semi-autobiography of Hungarian mystic, yoga practitioner and reincarnation expert Elisabeth Haich. Martinez used the book as a rough blueprint to tell the story of a soul's "path to transcendence," beginning with an initiation and ending with the total obliteration of self—a lift-off into ego-death. The album is the band's heaviest to date, full of chugging guitars and whooshing synths that climaxes with "Black Sarcophagus," their prog-doom thesis statement. "It's just another hero's journey through self-awareness, determination, struggle, humility, pain, suffering, passion, love, telepathy, and ultimately transcendence to GOD-MAN status," says Martinez
