Searing Skull

A glance at the mountains, an inspiration into the NightSky, A trip to the darkest paths of Cosmic Knowledge.

Searing Skull Heeds the light made of shadows.


Coldness, Hate, Darkness.

We are forever slaves of the Equilibrium.

Death is fed by life, which is fed by death.

Life is meant to be ended.

Death is eternal, the ultimate Omega.



Conscience gives meanings.

Conscience ends with life.

Everything is meaningless.
