1.
Unthaw 04:33
Before the clouds concealed the stars And the darkness became complete Before the waters turned murky And blood ran through the streets Watching my charity dissipate And my malice made concrete Watching my friends retreat into shadow From the same mistakes that I'd repeat Come around a blind curve To a realm covered in snow Frozen in this glacial silence All stagnant, but I did not know Unthaw Flow to all Hear the avalanche's call
2.
Fissure 04:28
It starts again Countdown from ten Louder than before Mountains collapsed, as time elapsed Swallowed by nature's trapdoor A fall to earth Return to dirt It's coming just for me All alone, they'll find me cold And covered in debris When I catch up I'll be out of breath Theaters of war leave actors in death Gaps appeared When pillars feared Being shaken to the core Strength gave way, skies turned grey The fabric of existence tore Just get a grip Before you slip Into a coma It's too late now, sweat on your brow Awaken, live, breathe trauma When I catch up I'll be out of breath Theaters of war leave actors in death
3.
Biosphere 04:46
We all think we know ourselves Sound the alarm and ring the bells I met my other side Your mind becomes a silhouette When just being human won't get You through the night Break the cage You'll free the beast This is holiday I am raw instinct The master forfeits his whip to his slave It's the only way that he'll behave Though he lives in fear All the colors start to blend Frame by frame we will transcend Into the biosphere Break the cage You'll free the beast This is holiday I am raw instinct
4.
Close to beauty, but not close enough Touch her, explore her, she quivers at the slightest touch Courage is born there, the coward he dies Blankets of snow cover footprints of lies Surround me Completely Every new wind holds a blizzard at bay Her sky is left open, swim in the milky way And as her roots entangle with mine Our hearts intertwine into something divine Surround me Completely And we shall jump from star to star Not knowing what is our own Just like the kings of old

Oblivion 04:06
(Instrumental)
6.
The Pearl 05:25
A flash of lightening Candles aglow The tear is the pearl of the human soul Dry bones cry During a drought Fruit can't grow where life can't sprout To find my mind Was bathed in mist A violent awakening of consciousness All masks removed No more facade This wildfire will spread abroad Please take me out to sea Half submerged In the abyss I found comfort in restlessness With celestial bodies I beheld the night Cease the advance I was crowned with light Eclipsed in white Divination Afterglow preserved Transfiguration The angels sing The saints applaud This wildfire will spread abroad Please take me out to sea Compassion, the most beautiful of all your names
7.
My Moon 03:23
Do not carry off my moon Won't you bring her back to me Oh joy of the birds! Sharing a nest is why they sing Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings Become one soul, composed of two wings Love, soar Hearts, roar I pour you into me Her fear sinks deep in night His love will rise with the dawn As his brush drips fuchsia He paints the sky upon that which she has drawn Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings Become one soul, compared of two wings My moon brings tides as she swims on high Our heart will sail across the sky
8.
Sweet valleys, you were magic Running water, undying memories turn tragic Peaks of mountains, might and valor Trigger landslides, avalanches, doesn't get much louder Sweet valleys, you were playful Scent of pine trees, wanderlust becomes fatal Peaks of mountains, fearless and true Buildings topples, people panicked, all sanity withdrew I'm not made to crumble with the ground underneath I'm not made to be afraid to dream while I'm asleep I'm not made for lasting weeping and the gnashing of teeth And as the flower blooms We leave our graves And turn our back on our tombs
9.
Ensnared 04:12
Heroes go on journeys Hoping to unearth enchantment Forget the monsters And dragons that lie dormant Waiting to torment Bravery without fail Hopes to face down the danger Forget the evil And hatred that will torture Forging a martyr The odor of death is in the air The feeling of a real nightmare The hero is ensnared
10.
Released 05:44
Isolated into the dark Now's my time to disembark The truth brings out hurtful remarks You can't take back You ran away from winter's bite Guard your head, stay out of sight Now your guide will be moonlight Wherever you are Beauty starts to redeem Waking you from your daydream And you will be released When living in awe is just a trance When you're too down to earth, there's no romance But if you speak up and take a chance You might be heard Beauty starts to redeem Waking you from your daydream And you will be released When you're set apart to be unique Beauty springs forth to redeem the mystique When your love is strong, but you feel weak Now it's the mountains and the trees that speak
11.
Bloodstain 05:28
My reality is bloodstain I tried to drain all that pain When the kingdom is free, the giant slain My heart will remain arcane

about

Royal Nature is a band that was created after the drummer's survival of the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. Our drummer Ashton was trekking on the Everest Base Camp Trail in Nepal on April 25, 2015, when a 7.8 earthquake struck the country. After dodging buildings collapsing, being surrounded by corpses, and witnessing constant aftershocks for an entire week, Ashton was finally able to return safely home to North Carolina. He was later diagnosed with PTSD after showing symptoms such as panic attacks, high anxiety, and depression. Just when no cure seemed to exist, Ashton began to write songs, which became his own means of self-prescribed therapy. With the help of his best friends, his goal was to create an album where listeners could walk with him from day one in the Himalayas, through the earthquake and PTSD, and all the way into his renewal.
