Fallen 09:01
Steam rises high As the fallen one speaks Last breath White wasteland A land where nothing grows Embodied in desolation Hear the cries from the fallen one No faith, only the howls of death Speaking in tongues, only deception Speaking; we die for the holy one We need your strength Demoralise their existence We shall take their final breath Remove the deception It’s time to see the unknown fall Their last hope is to pray Give us your strength Motivate our existence We will live our first breath Fulfill the conception It’s time to see the unknown fall Their loyalty was misplaced Silence from death Winter starts to fall, starts to fall Faith will rise, time to cleanse The sacrifice will be made Cast down, a blessing from the fallen one Offering eternal wisdom Cast down, to rise above everything A victorious path Behold the sacred artifact An ancient power lies within A divine gift to be Cast upon those who witness its chapters Sound the horns The holy one is here Show the path We await Show the path to the one Show the dark of the sun Show the path to the one Show the path to the fallen one Their loyalty was misplaced Silence from death Winter starts to fall, starts to fall

Absolution 01:26
Eyes within the shadows Lighting this sorrow untold Umbra of death still unclear Attains focus through my soul The persisting ordeal Confined to the depths of woe The great last epiphany To redeem my soul

Atonement 07:03
Gone is the moment; taken by mortality Slipping through my grasp; sun sets on memories left to rot A second in passing; forever in grievance I reside Cold inside my arms; bending my mind to devil’s will Gone is this moment; failing immortality Escaped through my grasp; dark sky on memories left to rot The time has passed; forever in grievance I reside Cold in my arms; a servant to devil’s will The hourglass stills As the sickness consumes Forgery of hell With the hindsight infused The hourglass stills As the sickness consumes Forgery of hell With the hindsight infused Memories detrimental The catalyst of agony Gone is the moment; taken by mortality Slipping through my grasp; sun sets on memories left to rot A second in passing; forever in grievance I reside Cold inside my arms; bending my mind to devil’s will The hourglass stills As ashes bury me The hourglass fills With ashes of my sin The last light fades Time, so precious, unforgiving Brought to an end Cleansing the wounds, forever healed A foresight of Reunion through tragedy A grain of hope Drifting in unison through emptiness Endless devotion Cast into madness, lending her ashes to Pay for our sins Seeking departure, bound through aversion Timeless atonement Praying for mercy, afflicted by fury I’m Driven by dismay Shedding no tears, conviction for Deliverance

Relinquish 05:31
The gates have fallen Streets flooded with flames, Consumption and famine Bells echo through dread The screams are silenced An offering to the king The defilement begins Laughter pierces an innocent heart as Grand marble halls are painted with blood Tears are depleted as eyes witness The volatile lusts of ruthless beasts Without incentive to remain Broken from the chains A steep plunge in to squalor Cloaked with foul colour A break through the once glorious markets Now a feasting ground for crows Temples of fascination and privilege Provides clemency and passage Wandering blindly All trust submitted Presence obscured Spies ubiquitous The desperation Hastening judgement Whispers of doubt Raise the flag of fear The smell of putrid burning flesh Resonates despair throughout the frail nerves A blade, concealed, thrust in the spine All hope is now lost and disintegrated Morality’s assured death At the compliant hands of indulgence Years of tradition and culture Now a meaningless ruin engulfed in flames The king is dead… Long live the king

Illucidity 09:08
I fear what I am becoming I have not the strength to contain this beast This madness I cannot overcome Walking in this time Forever long to decide Could be a minute Stretched to a century A second of choice Her hapless mask Concealed in the veil Approaching her end and my rebirth She looks past my Jealous visage Still I seek to stay I must choose my mind Only one can stay Is it her or I This is set in stone This is set I've known I have known The cure within my grasp Violence and death I question my trust in Sanity no more If I hesitate things may change Unless I grasp for redemption now My human instinct Brought to the exterior This blackened facade Denied it must slay I bring to her I must choose my mind Only one can stay Is it her or I

Catalyst 05:37
I am a survivor Of the discordant conversion A witness to the decay of beauty This world is changing Imminent fracture in sustaining order A shift in the fabric of morality The transition from idol to heresy Where there is order There is suppression Beauty and harmony Cannot exist without chaos Where there is order There is suppression Beauty and harmony Cannot exist without me Perfection is flawed We have already paid the price Fated to self-destruct This permanent cycle must cease I stand witness to the beauty and terror Of unfailing perfection in disarray Carry the weight of the harbinger Precipitate the reinvigoration of harmony This world is changing Imminent fracture in sustaining order A shift in the fabric of morality The transition from idol to heresy -Spoken-- I walk through the forest of ages Pursuing the cries left unanswered The distance is clouded with ashes The path ends, we cannot tread backwards

Deviance 02:23

Dysphoria 05:54
Light intrudes Fabric torn I see through Resentment drawn Once a dream There’s nothing here… Voices heard Disrupt me They won’t learn To leave it be Vacant stares There’s nothing here… Solitude for eternity Death whispers in my ear I yearn for Freedom I hear their screams Their faces macabre There’s nothing here Sitting in the ashes of everything dear A permanent madness I see and hear Relieve me from This dungeon Show me the Path from turmoil The end Strain from the burdens; too much to bear My pulse resonates through a void Strain from the burdens; soul starts to tear My mind a black hole; light destroyed

Forfeiture 08:05
They won’t forget… Arrested under moon’s glow A silent passage to death’s row Steady breaths before iron and steel Branded with the traitor’s seal A fate to degrade my flesh and bone instils no fear Faced with my end I conjure a smile Marched to the brink of life and death The longevity of my fate accepted Red glow of my people’s rage Will not be quashed Change in motion Cannot be halted Facing my end, I conjure a smile They will not forget The payment for dissent Bears a graphic display A sign of their contempt This is our darkest day In one dark moment, evil’s fate is sealed In one dark moment, the seeds of justice yield The Seal We take and twist the seal upon those who oppressed us The mark Assimilate the Traitor’s mark and rise to glory The Seal We take and twist the seal upon those who oppressed us The mark Assimilate the Traitor’s mark and clean the slate The authority you took unwillingly Will no longer be accepted by ‘your’ people The extent of your failure realised when the fear of oppression mutates in to chaos You have orchestrated your own fall And have ensured its inevitable execution The structure you have held with bloodshed Will crumble within your corruption Pieces of your establishment taken by force Forgiveness granted and rejected The chance to change ignored Dancing in the ashes United under traitor’s seal reborn Dancing in the ashes Drinking to the mark of sacrifice

about

Scoparia's debut full-length album Renewal is technical, highly orchestrated and emotionally charged Progressive Metal that is epic in scope, featuring a seamless blend of crushing guitar riffs, melodic atmospheric passages, and both clean and heavy vocal styles.

Renewal imagines an alternative, yet frighteningly plausible timeline of life on Earth. It is an allegory for the systematic confusion, mistrust and deception spread by the proponents of hateful and intolerant regimes, and the resultant continuous cycle of ill-informed conflict between opposing ideologies based on perceived differences.

In Renewal, the experiences of those born into this chaotic world reveal the impossible choices that are made when innocent people are forced to act in a manner that defies their intrinsic values. The album explores the journey of one such person, who has the phronesis to recognise the mistakes of the past and see through the greed-fuelled lies of the establishment to envision a seemingly unimaginable future; one in which conflict is resolved through understanding and compassion, and people use their inherent differences instead as a means for growth and flourishing...
