about

"We Are Already Living in The End of Times” is the opening track of the eponymous 4th full-length studio album by Astral Sleep. The song explores the idea that the end, destruction, and death of the society and the world as we know it, are happening right now. We are all part of it. This idea is mirrored by the concepts of heaven and hell, as they are very popular human-made concepts that feed on the idolization of the past, abandonment of the present, and active degradation and neglect of things to come, the future.

Musically the song starts by testing the listeners’ endurance and patience in the vein of some classic sludge albums that really embrace the noise and the feedback. It is also a sonic equivalent of living in the modern times. The song eventually starts with riffs that could demolish buildings, in contrast to the haunting and vulnerable walls of vocal chants that preach the end. Eventually the song gets heavier, bigger, messier and noisier, until finally resolving into a complete noise chaos before fading into the emptiness.

lyrics

The end is here
The end has finally arrived
It is your fault
You are to blame
That the end is nigh

End is Nigh

The moment you've been waiting for
The final judgement
The hand of god reaches out and takes you to paradise

The paradise looks exactly like this world
And everyone is as holy as thou
I will go nowhere
We are already living in hell

Hell is where the heart is
Open up your heart
Let me see your hell
I do not care about your paradise
We have eternity to spend there
But all we can ever own is this moment, right now

Wake up
Journey begins
To the other side,
Break on through
There the paradise for us lies
But it is in disguise

Blank faces, empty words
Suffocated souls
Waiting for their day to come
When they reach the promised land
Which is non-existent

Ignorance
Vanity
Indulgence
Sanctimony

Gods worshipped in ivory towers
Until the earth it devours

End is nigh, you were the ones to bring it forth
By raping nature and humanity
The end is nigh for you and me
The end of times is where we are
The bringer of doom is what we are
We are already living in the end of times
