about

The second track off of The Aphelion's debut album, The Labour Division.

The title track marks the beginning of the concept, where the story of the Labour Division begins. It tells the tale of a group not much better off than slaves, and the life they live toiling away for an oppressive dictator, The Father, and his oasis for those he believes worthy.

lyrics

The fruits of what your labour brings
Consumed to please the higher beings
Neglected, beaten. Scarred, abused
By tempest raging on below
The battlements we were once denied
Now stand to face the test of time
The bitter ashes pouring down
Humanity’s falsified crown
The youngest now will go to war
Won’t matter if some hearts get torn

The coming storm will wash away
Everything we’ve worked to create

So why do we stay?

Long extinct now, what was pride
In its place, fear remains

Master
Comes
Taking
Me
And now you bring me to extradition
This trial has been all in vain
Gavel banging, this false judicial
Helpless to the coming flames
Trampled by our own creators
And yet we are to take the blame
Deciding your fate without reason
Or maybe you’ve just gone insane

Isolation takes its toll
Faces fading, falling away
Leaving the disease
Of the labour division
