Descent 03:12
Rise, again! In this cold wilderness, The dawn draws near, I'm surrounded by, Darkness, in this second coming of mine, Lost all that I ever loved, The desolation of mind, All I have left is my life, As I walk this snowy night. Before the end of time, unmasking hell, I see myself, my past is visible, Remembering my descent, Where I come from, descent... descent I search for something I desire, But nothing comes close, This is my, Descent, I come close to death, I see no light, I remember my past, Now discover my descent, Whenever death takes me, I'll wait, My... Descent. Before the end of time, unmasking hell, I see myself, my past is visible, Remembering my descent, Where I come from, descent... descent

My Epitaph 03:08
When I die, I will be forgotten, Left for dead, without a soul to care, Hidden in the dirt, the world won't see my face, I'll be rested forever, without you all, When I lived, I was unknown, Now as I die, I will be shown, Where humanity went wrong, I will be there to see the end, Buried down, forever, A crow stands on my tomb, Plaguing all, without My Epitaph Rest my head, sleep off this pain to my death, My empty epitaph, un-cared for.. Words are unknown, in my life happiness was destroyed, When did it all go wrong? How did I loose all that was close? Why did I carry such a heavy burden? This reason, I will haunt all forever, When I'm ready, I will.. die, In my unknown epitaph...

This Aching 06:08
Shadows fall over this soul, This aching I feel in my chest, Without a light to guide my way, I sense the end, a lifeless sway I'm isolated from the world, This aching I feel in my head, Without a friend to help me stay, I'm gone in this world, gone away This aching I feel, this pain, This aching I am, insane, Inside this cold body, I'm alone I'm a spec among giants, I'm the dark one among sheep, Everything I desire, will stay desired, Everything I hate will overpower my will, Destruction of my mind, darkness in my soul, No one knows just how I am, No one seems to care, This aching I am to life, It seems that this aching is all life is, This aching I feel, this pain, This aching I am, insane, Inside this cold body, I'm alone Everything will remain the same.. Everything, and everyone will feel This aching that the earth forever is This aching I feel, this pain, This aching I am, insane, Inside this cold body, I'm alone No one will stop me, I'll leave this world, When I'm gone, no one will know, No one will care about this aching in my soul.

Misanthrope 02:45
I see no point in being among them Miserable wretched hypnotized scum They are all products of corporation Corruption designed for mutation Making them gullible to destruction Living for the same function They're frail, they are puppets, Frail and destroyed inside & out I hear the same thing over and over Miserable wretched publicized music They are the problem that kills them all Everyone is dying trying to be the same And there is no right from wrong Contamination in the waters they long Weak and destroyed inside & out Hatred.. Escape this slavery, enslaved in thorn, Escape this doom, desired in blood Escape this slavery, enslaved in thorn, Escape this doom, desired in blood! I am the misanthrope, hatred in humanity Desired in blood!

Conjure 04:32
Conjure.. In a world that gives you no hope, You're expected for greatness, Where was the success in me? Buried within with what's expected, I'll never be one of them, Taking my own path, I'll overcome, I will conjure, bring forth hope, That I need, in my life. Nothing lasts, I won't subdue, But I will, overcome their discontent. With their heads in their world, They all act the same, I have no one, Because I don't play their game, What is everything coming to? I may have failed, but here I am.. With this will to overcome, They will all be lined up, to worship me, When I am king, I will starve them all, No one deserves happiness, I want it all. With this power I will overcome!!! Nothing lasts, I won't subdue, But I will, overcome their discontent. Conjure my spirit... I will overcome, Nothing lasts, I won't subdue. Conjure...

Arctic Lust 02:53
I'll be your everything, You just have to accept, For years I've wanted you, I could never let you go, my darling, So please, be aware that I am in a trance, This darkness this frigid air, has kept me away, There you go, escape this Arctic Lust... Arctic Lust, Arctic lust, there you go, My love... In a cold betray.. Now in a cold betray, You denied my name, Thought that I was a fool, Well you played by the game, I have finally let you go, But now you come back for more, Suddenly you need me, and I'm no more, Get away from me, before I self destruct, Arctic Lust.. Never love again, Go away, no love

Oh, beauty, Ripped apart, Chaotic heart, Forget the silence, Where to start, On this day of despair, Hunger will kill, Take away shelter, Remove all love, Plague this land, With all that is forbidden, So many times, have I lost, I don't see, Happiness in myself, As dark as it seems, Everyone, I've ever known, Will know what it's like to suffer, In these days of despair, These days of despair, They will know what I felt, In the hour of twilight, Life isn't here, They will know no more night, Vengeance is finally mine, Moral decline, I've lost myself, These days of despair.. Lost myself to the nightfall...

Without 03:07
Without a truth, Doubt came true, Without darkness, Light would blind, Without every misery, Doubt would be... With this guiltiness, Dark spreads into me, Without any happiness, Evil creeps... Without wisdom, Oh oblivious to all, Without despair, Joy wouldn't be there, Without every failure, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be without happiness.. With this guiltiness, Dark spreads into me, Without my happiness, Evil creeps inside me, Without guiltiness, Dark spreads into me.. Without, I'm sorry for your harm, I'm angry, without anyone, Forgive me, if I don't good, A shame it feels, without anything good.

Undesired future, On a thought of a failure, Morally declined spirit, Not going away I'd rather die, I see a weak future, On a dream of success! Undesired.. Everything is weak, no strength, Everything is weak, no strength Undesirable I've remembered my descent, But will the past reflect the future? I'm afraid of something good, I'll only mess up somehow, If it ever comes, I will be ready for the bad news, I hope for greatness, Not a vision of doom! Undesirable Everything is unpredictable, no world No world, Everything is unpredictable, no world Undesirable, Die for tomorrow, Survive for today, I live in a world has gone down, I have no trust in what's next, If anything changes, Corruption will be left, In this world so unbearable, I can't for see my own life...
11.
Out of time.. Here I am, Once again, On my throne, Ruler of all, They all sin, Everyone is well, I am the one, Who cures all of corruption.. Deceive, twisted mind Decide, which side to take.. In this empire, I have birthed, I am the emperor, Saviour of you, I'm the one, Archon, the manipulator, Remember the name, The start of my story lies here.. Deceive, into madness, Darkness, over their heads! Have you seen? The end, Or the beginning.. Evil has no start, It slowly deteriorates, Into a form of hatred, Suffer, the whole world. Have you seen? The end, Or the beginning.. Evil has no start, It slowly deteriorates, Into a form of hatred, Revenge, in my eyes, Suffer, the whole world. Silent escape, to the dark.. I am Archon, ruler of this empire, Dead, although alive.. I lived past my miserable life, Silent escape... To the night. Wait to see me.. rise, again... Into this silent escape, Evil has begun, do you know? It's only, just begun...

about

Highborne began it's journey in the beginning of 2015 experimenting with sounds until in August when Archon officially began recording the first full-length album for his new one-man black metal project. He drew inspiration from his life, and took a path on the road to misery to how things have changed for him and how his journey to a different person began. Essentially, Descent is about a man's moral decline into darkness, and solitude.
