Bloodlust Ballet

Ballet of bloodlust
Over blackened earth
As above so below
Way it starts is how it ends
Not with a bang but with a whimper
Not with ideals but with rage
Great flowers of fire
Deafening silence
Thoughtless is desire
Will swallow us all
Reap the spoils in blood and dust
Buried deep six feet under
As above so below
Do you feel purged in the end
And in the end who can say
Their tongue has not lied
And eyes have not wandered
Who will dare to proclaim
Their blood has not trembled
To be free of all the sin
When we will shed our skin
And we will bare our teeth
Is this fair judgement
Or deserved punishment

Armageddon Vacation
05:04
|
|||
|
Pale rays of ghost sun
Creep slowly across my face
Here in this dying ground
A cold wind blows
Pale rays from dead sun
Crawl slowly across me
Here in this slaughterfield
A black wind blows
Constants waver
Time will stand still
A dying construct
Of weak flesh and bone
Reaching back through the void
To nothing at all
Pale rays of ghost sun
Reveal all our sins
Unforgiving fate reclaims
All we've done
Armageddon vacation
Straight road to damnation
Termination proclamation
A carnival of condemnation
Time will stand
All will fall

We Will Come for You All
04:39
|
|||
|
No masters, no kings, no gods
Our blades are sharp
We stare with snake fucking eyes
Call us unholy, call us insane
But when you strike us down
We’ll just rise again
Fire, that flows through our veins
Ire, darker than your eyes can see
Power, a gift and a curse
No return, we will come for you all
This is all your doing
God knows you forced our hand
Pathetic inferior being
Face us now and make your stand
Run as far as you can
Hide on the edge of the world
Your legacy means nothing
As fear consumes it all
Broken bones, spitting blood yeah
Get your black fucking eye

Better Days
05:48
|
|||
|
And sleep my child
And dream of better days
Don't let the love you had
Waste away to hate
And where you're gonna run now
With the whole world against you
Sweet dream of summer faded
No safe place left to hide
Gray places and gray faces
Don't let them take hold of you
False grandeurs, fake glory
Were never yours to take
Become stronger than them
Face the disillusion
Change in you will triumph
And right all them wrongs
Through withering storms you'll see
A new life can and will take hold
To restart yourself abandon it all

Pariah
04:52
|
|||
|
You pull my teeth and castrate me
Throw me to the gallows then violate me
Ice breaks so easy with well hidden shame
I am your willing slave, forever one to blame
This dance consumes us, future stays in black
Our love will only drown us with everything we lack
Carve your mark deep inside me, pariah for all to see
Cast your judgement on me and sentence me to bleed
This endless charade, all I had I gave
Delusion that feeds us the only thing that remains
Actors are in pain, words like razor blades
Deprived and far from light forever I will stay
Your shame in me, my shame in you
No mercy in here, bitter existence until we’re through
Everything we were means nothing now and that’s all we are

By The Throat
05:15
|
|||
|
All you have built will not stand
Your hollowness, it will condemn
When years curse you with their misery
A burden you'll take to your grave
By the throat upheld and choking
By the throat for greed and gold
Cold rain hits the ground
All so violent and bleak
False ideals will collapse
Convulsing obscenely
Violence breeds violence
While resentment grows vast
Hollow race for dominance
While nothing will last
An ocean dries in a second
Your weak blood does not nourish
Pathetic ignorance
No way to understand
This hell you've made yourself
Struck down, never to rise again
Hollow hymn you sing yourself graceless
Crown of lies you wear faceless
By the throat we'll choke you out

Hollowed Out
06:31
|
|||
|
Fornication, base animal instinct overtakes
Withering in stones and mud, unashamed
Meaningless, devoid and void
It keeps raging in our hearts, raging in our hearts
Let us pray for fire
Inferno consume us
A brief salvation in death
Cutting out the cancer in us
A temporary relief
Perpetual contempt
We got daggers for teeth
As misery it swallows us
Pieces keep falling
Further from me
Nothing to nothing
As it's always been
Lying eyes, knives inside
Blind skies, dying inside
Inherited weakness, slaves to ourselves
This is what we deserve and this is what we'll get
Hollowed out, no more than dust
This failure is but ours

Her Tainted Throne
05:30
|
|||
|
And slowly we choked
On her poison breath
And her awful light
Consumed us all
Just like slaves we knelt
At her tainted throne
Through opium haze
We smiled and then obeyed
And she is our majesty
The city of thousand shadows
Singing bleak lullaby
And we never sleep
And we are her herd
All angels with broken wings
And we never sleep
Uneasy our dreams
Filled with pain and regret
Machines guard us well
To steal all our will
Transparent choir of loss
We sold our souls and our flesh
Through opium haze
We smiled and then obeyed

A Eulogy for Suffering
04:53
|
|||
|
My hands are broken, tongue split in half
Ingested by sickness, black withered heart
Wasting away, decaying into nothing
A sinners reward without any meaning
Black bells toll and call my name
A eulogy for suffering, hurt and the blame
I lay before the wolves, bleeding and raw
Will this be my salvation before I'm undone
Pulled under the surface
I'm afraid to breathe again
My vision lies wasted and hollow
This blackout tears me apart
My name means nothing, spit it back at me
Let the bells now toll, come and fall with me
Blot out the sun, claw out my eyes in shame
My existence my sentence, curse my shallow grave

Swamp Mine Tartu, Estonia
Swamp Mine is an instrumental-vocal force which simultaneously obliterates and creates. Mud-soaked powerful riffs, mighty vocals and sound both massive and concrete come together in a heavy-sounding stoner metal, pushing through sadness and joy, depression and euphoria, straying the listener from the right path with will-o-wisps to mercilessly drown him into slough. ... more
