(The Locust Season is about facing apocalyptic judgment as it is described by the prophet Joel. It is about the fear of troubled times, but the wonder of spiritual perseverance.)
lyrics
Release the lamentation, the anguish in a burning lung
For all the devastation that’s only just begun
The mandibles of sorrow have come to drag away the world
The season of the locust, the sickly skyward swirl
So never let my spirit break; We will begin again
Never let my spirit break, and I’ll embrace the end
Never let my spirit break; We will begin again
Never let my spirit break, and I’ll embrace the end
Provoke the day of darkness; The ancient hand strikes the field
The army comes devouring, reversing Eden’s yield
So gather all the people whose hope has still survived
The day for dreams to come alive has arrived
So never let my spirit break; We will begin again
Never let my spirit break, and I’ll embrace the end
Never let my spirit break; We will begin again
Never let my spirit break, and I’ll embrace the end
When the world is wrapped in dread wonder
Brother, sister, just look up
Don’t be fearful when you hear the thunder
Blood and fire means it’s only just begun
As the sun goes dark it truly seems
That the whole world’s sight’s gone blind
But the sons and daughters dream their dreams
For they know that it is time
And the locust season sinks its teeth
Into every faithless mind
But the children dream their father’s dream
For they know that it is time
Never let my spirit break; We will begin again
Never let my spirit break, and I’ll embrace the end
Never let my spirit break; We will begin again
Never let my spirit break, and I’ll embrace the end
AfterWake is one of the dopest up-and-coming prog bands in Toronto, and we've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with them. TIL is melodic, bouncy, groovy, and emotional in all the right ways. KOZEN
Polarity are veterans in the Toronto prog & rock scene and they've been like our older siblings - we've played with them more than any other band. Proggy, melodic, and powerful. KOZEN
Arrowheads are our brothers from Quebec. We toured with their old band We Throw Flowers back in 2017, and their new project delivers undeniable metalcore/post-hardcore greatness. KOZEN
