"The Grand Consummation" - The ritual reaches its climax. Crowe’s human side is nearly extinguished; the entity has almost full control. This is a long, brutal, and chaotic track — shifting between moments of eerie stillness (human hesitation, Mary Jane’s fear, flickers of Crowe’s sorrow) and explosions of violence (entity-driven ritual mutilation). The veil between worlds tears open. The horror is not just physical but cosmic — flesh, blood, and London itself become the altar.

[Intro]
Her song drifts softly through the glass,
A fragile flame the night will pass.
I knock, I breathe, I dare to pray—
But shadow takes my hands away.

[Verse 1]
She smiles with trust, her door unlocked,
The fog recedes, all time has stopped.
Her voice recalls the life I lost—
But hunger drowns at any cost.
The chamber dims, the air turns still,
The knife is steady, not my will.
I beg in silence, my eyes plead—
But steel obeys the ancient creed.

[Pre-Chorus]
These hands—betray!
This flesh—enslaved!
Each breath—a vow!
Each cut—a grave!

[Chorus]
The grand consummation written in flame,
The veil breaks open, it calls her name.
The grand consummation, blood is the key,
The door swings wide, it devours me.

[Post-Chorus]
One life—
One hymn—
One gate—
Opened by sin.

[Verse 2]
The walls bear witness to my script,
A scripture written, crimson-dipped.
Her cries are lost in ritual tones,
Her bed becomes an altar stone.
Her body torn, a map of stars,
Each wound aligned to breach the scar.
The veil recoils, the sky bends low,
The night explodes—reality folds.

[Pre-Chorus]
These hands—unbound!
This voice—not mine!
Each mark—divine!
Each rite—aligns!

[Chorus]
The grand consummation through flesh and flame,
The hymns of silence cry out her name.
The grand consummation born of despair,
The shadow walks, it claims the air.

[Bridge]
I fight—(You cannot win!)
I beg—(The rite begins!)
I weep—(Her blood will sing!)
I break—(The darkness reigns!)

[Breakdown]
Unseal! The stars ignite!
Unseal! The void takes flight!
Unseal! Her voice is gone!
Unseal! The world undone!

[Final Chorus]
The grand consummation—my soul undone,
The veil lies broken, the gate is spun.
The grand consummation—her breath my crime,
The ancient god consumes through time.

[Extended Outro]
I hear her song—
But not her breath.
I see her eyes—
But only death.
The night is torn, the fog consumes,
The portal opens—
London is doomed.

Ahhh—ahhh—ahhhhhh...
Vae aeternum... — ETERNAL WOE! 
Lux mortis... — LIGHT OF DEATH! (light of death)
Domine Umbra... 
LORD OF SHADOW!!!

I hear her song—
But not her breath.
I see her eyes—
But only death.
The night is torn, the fog consumes,
The portal opens—
London is doomed.

Ahhh—ahhh—ahhhhhh...
Vae aeternum... (eternal woe)
Lux mortis... (light of death)
Domine Umbra... (lord of shadow)

LORD OF SHADOW!!!

The Grand Consummation

fall apart is a hard hitting, emotional, modern day rock anthem inspired by early 2000s emo. The song was born from the fear of losing someone because they tried to take their own life and deals with the emotions of trying to pull them back from the brink. Expect hard hitting anthemic chorus', dreamy verses and an heavy emotional breakdown.

"Echoes in the Fog" - The climax of Abberline’s journey. Guided by Crowe’s final ciphered messages, Abberline discovers the ritual to sever the entity’s grip: the vessel must die, and another must bear the curse. In a derelict church drowned in fog, Abberline faces Crowe, who flickers between monstrous host and pleading friend. With the pendant shielding him, Abberline drives the ritual blade home, granting Crowe release while binding the Codex’s curse into himself. As Crowe whispers his final thanks, the veil shudders and closes, but whispers still linger in the fog. Abberline, marked and forever changed, steps into the night as both detective and vessel—the hunter and the haunted.


[Intro]
The veil hangs torn, the city bleeds,
The Codex whispers ancient creeds.
A voice of man, a god disguised—
The final truth revealed to my eyes.

[Lyrical Intro]
The cipher led, the path was shown,
Through blood and ash, through flesh and bone.
One vow remains, the blade must fall,
To break the chain, to end it all.

[Verse 1]
I found his words in walls of stone,
Each line inscribed, yet not his own.
A faded photo, shadows weep,
His family’s secrets buried deep.
The pendant glows, the knife is near,
The fog resounds with what I fear.
His eyes reveal a fractured soul,
A man undone, no longer whole.

[Chorus – soaring cleans with gothic choir]
Echoes in the fog—his voice remains,
A soul in torment, bound by chains.
Echoes in the fog—his plea, his name,
I end the rite, I bear the flame.

[Interlude
So bind the flesh, so break the seal,
The Codex burns, the wound won’t heal.
So mark the skin, so call the night,
The host must fall to end the rite.

[Verse 2]
“Do it!—free me now,
The god has claimed what I allow.
These hands are not my own to guide,
The shadow waits, it will not hide.
Strike deep, my friend, the stars converge,
The knife the key, the blood the surge.
The fog will howl, the Codex feed—
Through me it reigns, through me it bleeds.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold the blade, my hand will shake.
(You must strike true—for both our sakes.)
The veil resists, the Codex cries—
(This is the end—its grip denies!)

[Chorus]
Echoes in the fog—the bond I sever,
One man redeemed, one cursed forever.
Echoes in the fog—the soul is freed,
The god recoils, yet clings to me.

[Bridge]
Zorath’nim! (unbind the chain!)
Mor’thak keleth! (death-words remain!)
Corpus fractum! (the flesh must die!)
Anima mea! (the soul will rise!)

[Breakdown]
Strike! The gate resounds!
Fall! The host unbound!
Burn! The Codex sears!
Bind! I bear its fears!

[Final Chorus]
Echoes in the fog—his voice departs,
The night still binds, it grips my heart.
Echoes in the fog—her blood, his plea,
One soul set free, one curse on me.

[Extended Outro]
“Thank you, Frederick…”
“Forgive me, friend…”
The pendant burns, the Codex brands,
Its scripture carved into my hands.

The fog recedes but not for long,
Its whispers weave an endless song.
I step alone, the night my shroud,
A vessel born, the curse a vowed.

Tenebris aeternum… (eternal dark)
Domine Umbra… (lord of shadow)
Anima fracta… (broken soul)
VINCIT UMBRA! (THE SHADOW WINS!)

[Outro]
I walk these streets where silence weeps,
I am the vessel the Codex keeps.
Echoes in the fog—they call, they bind…
I hunt the dark… yet it is mine.

Ahhhh... ahhhh... ahhhhhh...
Ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhhhh...
Mmmmm... mmmmm... mmmmmmm...

Wolfsheim are a synthpop duo from Hamburg, Germany consisting of Markus Reinhardt (music) and Peter Heppner (lyrics and vocals). The band was founded in 1987 by Markus Reinhardt and Pompejo Ricciardi and was named after Meyer Wolfsheim, a fictional character from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel ‘The Great Gatsby’.  Ricciardi soon left the band and was replaced by Peter Heppner, a childhood friend of Reinhardt's. Together they produced their first demo tape, “Ken Manage”, in 1988.

After making a second demo tape, “Any But Pretty”, in 1989, Wolfsheim applied at various labels until they caught the attention of independent record label Strange Ways Records. They are best known for their debut breakthrough single, "The Sparrows and the Nightingales”, the first single to be released on Strange Ways in 1991. The band's musical style takes cues from the 1980s New Romantics, new wave, synthpop, and darkwave. The track's sombre synths were produced by Carlos Peron of Yello. Reinhardt says the lyric was inspired by ‘The Great Gatsby’, "in the 'onomatopoeic tension' between predator and security."  Over six minutes, the narrator describes being lost, unsure of where his life is heading, using highly metaphorical language. On the flip is a brand new remix by German producer Ancient Methods, a pseudonym of Michael ‘Trias’ Wollenhaupt, who provides a driving, EBM-leaning, amphetamine-laced club ready cut.

All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Designer Eloise Leigh has updated the record's original design with two sparrows enclosed in a blood moon circle against a deep black purple backdrop. Each copy comes with a black and white photo postcard notes by Carlos Peron and the song's lyrics. This release comes in time to celebrate the single’s 25th anniversary.
