    The critically acclaimed and universally hailed debutalbum from Pike.

    "Make no question about it, To Cross The Great Divide is nothing short of a masterpiece" (Steve Howe, The Sludgelord)

    "To Cross The Great Divide is fully formed and demanding attention; Pike is a name you should remember" (gk, Global Domination)

Reparing the sins of wayward priests Sleeping, bare winter death Hallucination prayer, damnation from voices inside Bleeding hands, crying eyes May the kingdom of salvation take me home Conclusion of pilgrimage Suffering demonic possession The icon repells you, die to atone Anointing of the sick Bleeding hands, crying eyes May the kingdom of salvation take me home
2.
Going on the second year Too many past before Too many left to count Marching onward, an eternity of men These bloodstained coats, keep no warmth I put my trust in a failing god Now I know how this world comes to end I set my sights once again on a field full of fear When will the time come for you to take us home? And then I realize, the time will never come Trampled down by iron hooves Face down in the mud My friend, this is the end Marching no more, an eternity of men I put my trust in a failing god Now I know we're nothing but dust I set my sights once again on a field full of fear When will the time come for you to take us home? And then I realize, the time will never come

Mountainous 05:39
Left you all behind, bright light faded Your mind percieving only your distorted self Frozen limbs, as you start to climb By the third cycle of the moon Your visions coming true in waves Frozen eyes, as you start to die Snow beating down, tearing your flesh Your visions coming true, animating your end

Ned Land 11:32
I've seen things you won't believe, voyaging with the Nautilus The beast from the depths And though my name won't be engraved in history I will be remebered Crashing through the waves Harpoons in each mans hand The sea comes crushing down My fate is sealed I've seen things you won't believe, voyaging with the Nautilus The beast from the depths, devoured my soul And though my name won't be engraved in history I will be remembered Crashing through the waves Harpoons in each mans hand The sea comes crushing down My fate is sealed My life moves on The voyage home will be my last Maybe I will return 20,000 leagues under the sea Never see land The voyage home will be my last Never see land

Black wings at your minds chapel The towers fall, as do your sanity Enclosed in dirt Left for yourself and your final thoughts Bring me my saviour My Christ of light Save me from darkness At the end of existence Life slips away from my grasp Your saviour is gone Your Christ is dead Nothing but darkness At the end of existence Life slips away from my grasp
