History is littered with mankind’s atrocities Learning to kill each other with greater velocity The endless struggle to fulfill needs and desires Everyone is capable of intolerance and violence In ancient fields and country plains Crowded cities filled with remains Fighting throughout history Ancient battles for supremacy From tribal warriors fighting with hands and spears To nations torturing and starving millions of their peers Humanity has been an example of hatred This is how our species has been bred Slaughter on a massive scale It's the strong who prevail Bodies of captives and slaves Lie in legions of graves In the ground and deep in caves Death comes in waves Conquer, control and exert dominance To help keep society homogenous Stand in solidarity to destroy all the others Help kill their sons and rape their mothers Way before Rome in ancient lands Lay slaughtered bodies rotting in sand Now living in the modern era The number dead is no better A single person may be horrible or pleasant But grouped together hatred becomes present People banded together in a tribe or nation Ultimately causes others to suffer deprivation Slaughter on a massive scale It's the strong who prevail Bodies of captives and slaves Lie in legions of graves In the ground and deep in caves Death comes in waves Countless examples of the atrocities of man From the largest nations to the smallest clan Committing torture rape murder and slavery Heinous acts mistaken as bravery Encoded in our offspring Time will not change a thing Inhumanity in our past Forever it will last Where there are humans there is suffering Gorging upon corpses recurring Growing off of pain and misery It was and always shall be

In the end we all suffer the same fate Succumbing to age the cure is too late No way to prevent your dying date Degeneration starts with birth Living to die everything on earth Embedded in the genetic code Rapid decay can only be slowed Moving towards the end each and every day Through cellular death and radioactive decay The caps on our DNA eventually will rot away No cells are sparred broken strands go unrepaired Chromosome ravage from environmental damage All the years that go by everything is programmed to die Planets will disintegrate atmosphere will ablate Neutrons decay away the laws of nature they obey At the end in the dark it will repeat with a spark All the years that go by everything is programmed to die All matter will turn to energy Putting the universe in jeopardy All will be nothing eventually Stars will swell and stars will collapse No way to stop it time will elapse All life and light will eventually fade The cosmos is a masquerade Moving towards the end each and every day Through cellular death and radioactive decay All that is all that was all that will ever be Will decay will breakdown will dissolve eventually Whether near whether far no matter where in space Everything no longer will exist anyplace

The insignificance of The lives in which we live The endless search for meaning To which there's none to give We are ever so small A spec in infinity Living a brief moment in time Obscured by eternity Once it's viewed off the Earth The time we spend has no worth All our actions all we do Whatever it is we pursue From our very lows to our best To the universe unprocessed Space cannot comprehend What is the meaning of friend Stars have no eyes to see What we call enemy The universe does not care The meaning of life is bare A never ending loop Of beginnings and ends The true meaning of time We cannot comprehend Once it's viewed off the Earth The time we spend has no worth All our actions all we do Whatever it is we pursue From our very lows to our best To the universe unprocessed Space cannot comprehend What is the meaning of friend Stars have no eyes to see What we call enemy The universe does not care The meaning of life is bare The vastness of space goes on An unending sea of stars The vastness of time goes on A countless number of stars In a vast number of galaxies In a universe contained Within uncountable realities The universe was before It will exist long after The many times we cry And beyond all the laughter When our existence ends And there's nothing left within The planets will still orbit The galaxies will still spin

You praise God for the good You don't blame him for the bad You praise him when you're happy And even when you’re sad You think his only act Is one of kindness An unseen force doing all that is good Send your praise to the sky Waiting for your savior to arrive You'll wait until you die Pray to cure the disease he gave No blame for the lives he won't save Pray to get rid of the sorrow Even though he'll send more tomorrow Pray to live for many years No mention of all the tears Pray for help after a storm To you sending death is the norm You give thanks for nothing You are praying for nothing Why would you give praise When the world is ablaze To a being that could prevent A life full of torment To a being that could refrain From causing a life of pain Nothing could be more clear That the truth is what you fear God would be the one to atone But really we're all on our own

about

The second release, “Multitudes of Emptiness”, has eight tracks. Four of which are a unique style of symphonic black death metal and three tracks are dark interludes, but just as the original Journey Into Darkness, the interlude songs are not minimal or drawn out. The final song is a hybrid of the old synth style and the new heavy guitar style, an emotional instrumental that blends heavy doomy guitars with synths and orchestral parts.

Journey Into Darkness is the solo project of ex-guitarist Brett Clarin from the death metal band Sorrow (Roadrunner, 1991-1993). The music is a unique style of symphonic black death metal with occasional interludes of dark synth. The music focuses on dark and sinister melodies all while maintaining heaviness and intensity.

"After the Roadrunner death metal purge in the mid 1990s my band, Sorrow, called it quits. Inspired by the intros and interludes on extreme metal albums, I started Journey Into Darkness in the mid 90s as an all synth solo project. After releasing just one album “Life Is a Near Death Experience” the project was put on hold for quite some time. Resurrected in 2018 guitars and vocals were added to give new dimension and depth to the music."

The lyrics are well thought out and will help draw the listener into the intensity and emotion of the music.
