1.	Screaming In Silence 05:57	lyrics	buy track
Screaming In Silence lead: Maloney/Andrews/Maloney A resurrection through memories Once lost and forgotten Now guilty remnants overshadows me Who I was and who I’ve become Still living in deceit and lies Still living with uncertain ties Dreams of her tear me from reality World that holds a fresh new life We were innocent, shy to the touch Why does happiness come with a catch Screaming in silence lead: Andrews/Maloney Still living in deceit and lies Still living with uncertain ties For every spark, a pain sharpens For every new life, a greater consequence This belly of sadness Screaming in silence no one hears the hurt
2.	Until It Ends 06:33	lyrics	buy track
Until It Ends Hidden inside the locust of a dream Desire to unravel this web of the mind Fading into isolated reality Straining the sight of life’s duality Darkness seething within the conscience of hope Dreadful abandon, the soul withering into nothing Taken to extremes Blinded from disease Hatred for all mankind Suffer living til the end All hope is lost Bleeding my sanity at all cost Suffer the days no more Until it ends I do adore Incision relieving the pain unseen Corrosion of a mind that’s filled with grief Fading into isolated reality Straining the sight of life’s duality Sickness inside this hollow heart Failure to withstand a lover's dream Taken to extremes Blinded from disease Hatred for all mankind Suffer living til the end All hope is lost Bleeding my sanity at all cost Suffer the days no more Until it ends I do adore leads: Maloney/Andrews/Stack/Maloney & Stack
3.	Pale Whisper 06:28	lyrics	buy track
Pale Whisper Hidden inside this dream Desire to be of barren mind A soul destined to bleed the seams Pale whispers scream through my eyes Awaken: Time to break these chains Jaded: Life is all that remains Falling into the strain again This flesh prison feeds within Breathing this void of shame Darkness fills the pain unseen Scars of suffering to be Pale whispers scream through my eyes Taken: Can’t withstand the pain Faded: Last cut in this vein Falling into the strain again This flesh prison feeds within Stranded behind these eyes, I am me I am Failure Corrosive and erosive tainted beyond belief Inside this prison of flesh Mind saturates itself in grief, reality of purity diminished Corrosive and erosive tainted beyond belief Inside this prison of flesh lead: Maloney/Maloney & Stack
4.	Soul In Between 07:44	lyrics	buy track
Soul In Between I am the murder within the desire I stare into the eyes of despair I see resentment and vile disgust Painfully awake to witness our fall Soul In Between Soul In Between Time is rotting inside Blind revealing the flesh inside Seclusion in memories stab our demise Veins are thickening awaiting the final gash Wounds of depression seep into the other half My soul is fading, dripping with innocence Soul In Between Soul In Between Time is rotting inside Blind revealing the flesh inside lead: Maloney Rage inside, tears apart Wage the war on human neurosis Catacombed in fear, bleed this soul Existence is a wound, fear the outcome lead: Andrews/Maloney Caged inside, clawing through Symptoms of suffer in my head A soul incomplete, dwell illusions Existence is a tomb, embrace the end Awaiting the exit for my final demise Where two lives were, now forsaken Bleeding the echo of forever seeming fate What lies beneath a soul now to rest Soul In Between Soul In Between Time is rotting inside Blood revealing the flesh inside
5.	Funeral Seed 07:47	lyrics	buy track
Funeral Seed Statistic Install the fear Create the sick Enslavement From birth to death You’re the abhorrent The funeral seed Corporations agreed Your cancer they feed The funeral seed Watching you bleed Weakened society A dream within a dream Shades of grey paint your way Still I remain Frozen the mind intakes Conception Gutted to exist Loathing through miscreation The funeral seed Corporations agreed Your cancer they feed The funeral seed Watching you bleed Weakened society Fractured, Haunted, Still Life Seeding Helpless, Wanting, Closure Feeding Awaken, Torture, Frenzy Seeding Blindness fates you, Sickness Feeding All this time they’ve sucked you in Envision six feet under Your life has been a lie Your seed has been planted lead: Andrews/Stack/Maloney/Cordle
6.	Eternal 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Eternal Divided on the plains of Kurukshetra The transcendental conch shell is blown Shattering the hearts of the Kauravas On this day victory shall be known Victory shall be known Towards the infinite self Realize the eternal soul Gazing on the faces of contenders Kinsmen to battle in a great trial of arms Distraught with apathy to destroy one's own family Surrender yourself to the teachings not harm Victory shall be known Towards the infinite self Realize the eternal soul Know your inviolable being Behold your imperishable soul Devoid of all worldly material contamination I - am not - this - body Liberation from the clutches of illusion I - am not - this - body lead:Maloney Destined to fight in this conflict of desire Performing dharma with Bhakti in your heart Fearless trust in the laws of karmic justice Knowledge gained in the cycle of Samsara Victory shall be known

"A top-shelf mixed-bag of aggressive progressive sounds that seamlessly fuses everything from melodic blackened death to epic traditional metal—both musically and vocally—amidst carefully crafted songwriting that really ought to land The Final Sleep regarded just as highly as whatever "popular" metal fare the wider-reaching promotional machine is feeding to less truly underground-minded listeners these days." - www.aversionline.com/view/the-final-sleep-until-it-ends-track-premiere-interview

"The band utilizes a diverse approach by incorporating dark and light, heavy and melodic, and it all hits like a ten ton hammer of awesomeness." - nysmusic.com/2022/01/10/hearing-aide-the-final-sleep-vessels-of-grief/

"Carrying a wide spread of influences from traditional heavy metal, power, and progressive and merging them with more extreme sounds (such as death and black metal) may not exactly sound like it’s really pushing the envelope but it’s more about the way that the band does the mixing that makes it special." - deadrhetoric.com/reviews/the-final-sleep-vessels-of-grief-self-released/

"Taking elements of melodic death metal, progressive metal, and traditional heavy metal, the band forge these into enjoyable songs that are well-written and hit the spot. The use of three guitarists allows for a compelling depth of melody, atmosphere, and complexity, while classic songwriting focuses the band’s efforts into songs with hooks to spare. The dueling guitars, formidable harmonies, infectious choruses, and multitude of quality metallic parts make for a quite delicious feast." - wonderboxmetal.com/2022/01/30/the-final-sleep-vessels-of-grief-review/

if this album is anything, its incredibly well rounded. choosing to step off the gas a little bit in favor of a notably more polished sound. I dont dig it as much as psycho, but I'd be a liar if I said this is isn't a radical improvement in quality. MyNameIsRedundant
