The Cycle
04:16
|
|||
|
Something doth rotate in silence
Forgotten, veiled, and at bay
Spins in your times of hindrance
Twirling as you stumble through the day
Tend to your spot in the machine
Fixated on your tasks, you don’t notice
Living was supposed to be serene
Death’s calls are getting difficult to miss
Life has been unkind
To the corpse I wish to be
Death I would not mind
Take away my destiny
The Cycle will unwind
My impact on history
The Cycle brings dichotomy
Cacophony
Somewhere along we lost the purpose
Sentience took from us the drive
Human life itself is worthless
We destroyed the earth to stay alive
Death manifests itself in all of us
Seeping into that which makes us thrive
All that we deserve is the furnace
The Cycle brings us all to our demise
We have all been blind
To our natural harmony
Solutions to our bind
All remain a mystery
The Cycle will unwind
Our impact on history
The Cycle seals humanity
The Cycle / In motion
Reaps us all / Full commotion
Be free / Of the notion
None can flee / From death’s corrosion
No chance / To survive
Doom’s hand will come for every last life
Succumb / To the Cycle
Cannot run, genocide is final
Mankind shall rot

I no longer believe in tomorrow
The light that I long for retreats
Spending my days in sorrow
My crawling ahead, the darkness deletes
Forward slog through monotony
The days turn ever greyer
Banal as life in lobotomy
Happiness fleeting and rare
I long to have the knowledge of
The reason for which I'm forced to be
Nobody answers from above
Absence and shadow in ubiquity
Words could not ever explain
The guilt I feel grows for all of my days
The voices within all wish me pain
I scream for the light but there are no more rays
There is no hope / For my soul
I grab the rope / And tie it to the pole
I see who I've been / As my eyelids shut,
As my breaths end,
And my thread of life is cut
Brought onto Earth / Against my will
Devoid of worth / No purpose to fulfill
At birth, we scream and thrash our limbs
Dying, I'm silent, stiff, and sanguine
No more time for me to wait
For this life I have pursued
My own end I must create
For this nightmare to conclude
Taut is the rope around my nape
Soon my soul should be free
Into the void I shall escape
Not one more second spent in agony
Memories play before my death
Of one day, what I could be
My body should neither have taken a breath
Nor opened its eyes to see
Who I was crumbles into sand
My hope falls through the sieve
The coarse grains lay in my hands
Shattered and broken as I lived
[Chorus]
I'm not strong enough to continue like this.
My mind is gone and it's never coming back.
I can't eat, sleep, or even live without the most intense self-hatred.
I wish I could have been stronger.
I wish I could have been someone.
But the man you knew is already long gone.
It's been over for years.
This is the only way to make things right.
I beg of you, the universe:
Allow this wretched husk to return to you
And allow this journey of self-loathing to conclude

Submit To Your Demise
03:25
|

|
It's been so long since I've had some fun
My chainsaw is hungry for flesh
The knives are all drawn, there's nowhere to run
Tonight you’ll succumb to your death
I'll chase you down and hang you up
(You scream and you fight)
With killing it's never enough
(There's no end in sight)
Your flame of life will soon be snuffed
(Your end feels so right)
I'll fill the world with your blood
(You'll feel my wrath tonight)
I cut you I bleed you
You're trapped within my lair
I want you I need you
You won't escape I swear
I cut you I bleed you
The body piles rise
I want you I need you
Submit to your demise
Bitch no more and recognize you're fucked
The only way to win is to lose
Succumb to the storm, you're all out of luck
Scream and yell but there is no use
Call for help nobody's there
(You scream and you fight)
Your screams of terror are all I hear
(There's no end in sight)
I'll smite you down, you best beware
(Your end feels so right)
I’ll spill your entrails everywhere
(You’ll feel my wrath tonight)
I cut you I bleed you
You're trapped within my lair
I want you I need you
You won't escape I swear
I cut you I bleed you
The body piles rise
I want you I need you
Submit to your demise
It's been so long / Since I've had some fun
You know I'm still hungry for flesh
The knives are all drawn / There's nowhere to run
Soon you'll succumb to your death
Bitch no more, recognize you're fucked
The only way to win is to lose
Succumb to the storm / You're all out of luck
Scream and yell but there is no use
There is no use!

Iron Priest
04:45
|

|
Descending down from the sky
Merciful fate brought from on high
Iron Priest, steel vanquisher is here
His very presence roots you with fear
Screaming for vengeance, hoping to win
Defenders of the faith shall cleanse our sin
Iron Priest, Metal God, Space Lancer
We called into the void but there's no answer
You cannot help but drop down to your knees
His iron maidens shall call forth the seas
One flash of the blade and the world is now at peace
Nightmares' and evil's permanent decrease
You cannot resist falling to your knees
Purple rainbow shining so deep
The planet's saved, it’s such a relief
Humanity has been squelched by Iron Priest
Bow down!

Belladonna
06:47
|

|
Your lies change their color
From frigid blue to crimson red
Your spell I’ve come under
And for your song I have bled
My mind changes hue
Your smile brings me breath
The more I worship you
It brings me closer to death
Belladonna!
Cast your seeds of death upon my soul
Wondrous caress of black engulfs me whole
My body’s covered in leeches
The maggots feed on my brain
I practice what you are preaching
But you don’t love me the same
I want you to make me bleed
Your sprout grows in my mind
Soon you will sow your seed
In love I’ll be left behind
Belladonna!
Deadly nightshade casts its curse on me
Never once a chance to be set free
Your facade seems to crack
Yet more your tumor grows
Your colors fade to black
Your spell no longer glows
It's wilting within my head
Your nightshade is now dead
Poison that once made me feel
Our time together unreal
Into the abyss I'm flung
I long for the sugar behind your tongue
Your venom eases all my grief
Suffocate me with relief
Belladonna!
Death I cannot have if not by you
My desecrated soul has split in two

Demoness

You ask for more fulfillment
I gave you all I had
My soul is insufficient
Your standards ironclad
I just wanted to bring you pleasure
But you bring me only pain
You put me under pressure
Gave me goals I could not attain
You evil bitch, how can you sleep at night?
You took my love and you raped my life
Draining me with your unholy blight
Your evil ends in the afterlife
You evil bitch, I hope you sleep tight
Masquerading like what you did was right
You've enticed my vengeful appetite
Your death shall be such a beautiful sight
Robbed me of my soul
You presume you've won
Think my mind is under your control
For your maleficent fun
The only thing you didn't realize
Is that I am not lost
I'm peering through the holes in all your lies
And every line you crossed
You evil bitch, how can you sleep at night?
You took my soul now I'll take your life
Take your last breath as I plunge in the knife
Bleed out alone, such a tragic plight
You evil bitch, I hope you sleep tight
Die in a hole that’s devoid of light
Worthless and broken, but it seems so right
Your death shall be such a beautiful sight
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

A carnival for the human race
Cotton candy, happy face
A child talking with his mouth full
Girlfriend gets stuffed animal
A festive mood is all around
Another world is what we've found
Step right up, let's make a deal
Ride the Ferris wheel (Let's ride on the Ferris wheel!)
You know there's something lurking underneath the shape
With a mask over his head and make up on his face
Will Warner Brothers put our record on the shelf?
Take a look in the mirror and see the clown in yourself
Spinning / Grinning
Believing / Deceiving
Whirling / Twirling
Confusing / Amusing
Discovery / Recovery
Inherency / Transparency
Fusion / Conclusion
Reality / Fatality
If you want to know what's behind the show
You ride my carousel and enter life's jail cell
Love and blood begin to meld, you've lost the self that you once held
Merry go 'round your head, awake, asleep, alive or dead
The clown that painted a smile on you
Is now the one unmasking you
Animated scenes unwind
Dormant figures come to life
Entangled in your own web
A twisted tunnel overhead
A glimpse of light, a drop of dew
You slide into the swimming pool
A roller coaster ride into the rivers of your mind
The currents merge, your feelings surge, your life's a pantomime
Beauty is the spiral going 'round and 'round the beast
Without the vampire effect, the carnival is deceased
Spinning / Grinning
Believing / Deceiving
Whirling / Twirling
Confusing / Amusing
Discovery / Recovery
Inherency / Transparency
Fusion / Conclusion
Reality / Fatality
If you want to know what's behind the show
You ride my carousel and enter life's jail cell
Love and blood begin to meld, you've lost the self that you once held
Merry go 'round your head, awake, asleep, alive or dead
Running! So fun!
Roly poly
Topsy turvy
Hang upside down
Fall to the ground
I.. I.. I.. I think I'm gonna be sick!

We All Die Alone
06:34
|
|||
|
Life has taken its toll
No more body, only soul
You've passed
But will your memory last?
Such a shame, you were so kind
Now can you you see?
This is what we’re destined to be
Die alone
Spirit forever roams,
You know we all die alone
So you've a got a grave
Does that mean your legacy is saved?
Epitaph obscured
Years of weather eroded the words
Who could remember you now? And how?
Is it clear to see?
The scant extent to which they've kept your memory?
You died alone
Your spirit never ceases to roam
Don't you realize that we die alone?
We all die alone.. alone.. alone..
Why did you take them away?
Everyone, everybody
Has to die in this life
We die alone
Futility is all it is
Back and forth, up and down, everything repeats
Promised it since when we were kids
All we ever wanted was to live forever after
Haloless and unholy
Bodiless and dull, from your fate you cannot hide
No escape
Die alone, live forever, life's a crazy ride
You were the best friends / That I ever had
Now you're gone / Forever I'll be sad
Irreplaceable Janey / Irretrievable Alyssa
All I wish for, all I'm after, all I'd ever ask above
Is just to hold you once more
And show you that you're loved
WE DIE ALONE
THEY DIED ALONE
WE ALL DIE ALONE

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

...Depart From So Much Evil
by Gravehuffer
supported by 13 fans who also own “Carmines Monstruosi”
Every track on this album kicks ass, yes. But being one who has read all of Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy", I am in awe of the tribute that "...Depart From So Much Evil" is to it! Superb masterpiece, masterfully performed!
