The Order
05:12
lyrics
buy track
damn it all, they must fall
parasitic system
now we’re all one
it came from a distance, on a path quite forgotten
on a chariot burning, dragged by hooves that are rotten
with this corrupted visions, black breath of a serpent
surrounded by corpses, on a chariot burning
damn it all, they must fall
parasitic system
now we’re all one
it grows in your system, it dwells like a tumor
hear the chariot burning, because we are the rotten
to hell with your standards, cold breath of a promise
surrounded by leeches, your leaders are burning
beware of the hate inside, for we are like animals
on and on
forward, forward
we’re damned, but we re moving on
versus this fucking walls
never seem to escape
why do things never change
beware of the hate inside
this is the way of mankind
this is the war inside
there is an exit here
but we decide, but we decide
2.
Nihilistic Rites
05:35
lyrics
buy track
I, I live in a world that is bleak
breathe in the air that is somehow to thick
I see the storm that is raging inside
like a wave, the delusion is pushing my mind
rites, nihilistic rites
nihilistic
deeper and deeper
I sink in my teeth
twisting the values in search for relief
I, I descent into human debris
swallow my shadow, I’m down on my knees
I see the storm that is bending my guts
and feel numb, as I’m chewing i’m chewing on shards
rites, nihilistic rites
nihilistic
deeper and deeper
I sink in my teeth
twisting the values in search for relief
crawling through glass
so tedious
through this dirt
like a snake
trapped in a shell
I cease to exist
with broken bones
tattered my flesh
It’s a fever dream, the world we're living in
It’s a fever dream
nihilistic rites
nihilistic
deeper and deeper
I sink in my teeth
twisting the values in search for relief
rites, rites
3.
Dissonance of the Tongueless
03:27
lyrics
buy track
cold and dead
nothing is clear in the concept of time
we are ghosts, invisible
life and death
somewhere between this fragments of time
we got lost, unreachable
this isolation
wailing
dissonance
of the tongueless
dissonance
of the tongueless
come and see
the misery inside this cage is unbearable
fuck this ordeal
so cold and dead
seems we will never belong in this place
we are ghosts, invisible
this isolation
wailing
dissonance
of the tongueless
dissonance
of the tongueless
to see the chain
to see yourself
where do we belong?
ghosts invisible

Pulse
07:02
lyrics
buy track
see your world consumed by fire
breeding the famine, again it is war
in this world consumed by fire
everything’s futile, the blood hits the soil
in the blink of an eye, the sun will not rise
the sun will not rise
in the blink of an eye
death, death it all comes to
death, death it all comes to this
death, death it all comes to
it all comes
see your world consumed by fire
lashing and howling the flames burning bright
death, death it all comes to
death, death it all comes to this
death, death it all comes to
it all comes
in this brutal world of iron
over and over it's all in my sight
nothing changes here, decide now
breaking the circle it's time to arise
it's time to arise
decide
just give me hope, for I see the world of light
through the ashes of war, through the cycle of spite
will we ever gonna reach the end
everything we’ve ever done so far
simply nothing more to give
there is nothing more to get
seal them away
5.
Black Fields
06:00
lyrics
buy track
the stench of blood and death reeks from within
this pure divinity, deceived
and so at last, the night will drown the day
farewell, your sins all washed away
black fields
lay them all to rest
burning
burning
black flames, a spark, and life shall never be
receive this pure divinity
black fields
lay them all to rest
burning
give in, give in, this light
breathing, breathing and despise
give in, give in, this light
breathing, breathing and despise
the unconditional love of god
burn in a row, return to dust
burnt to
dust
burn in a row
burning, in a row
6.
Drain the Poison
05:16
lyrics
buy track
dried out, disintegration
paralyzed, too heavy, too slow
lights out, my eyes are burning
they’re just black holes inside my skull
death grip, I hear them gnawing
hear the jaws of society’s fall
there is no meaning to this
as there is no meaning at all
I see your setting sun
hold on a little tighter
when all is set and done
I know you will not fail me
I know the roads are bending
and we bend like a branch in the wind
look up to see the gallows
our spines are ready to break
I see your setting sun
you drown in mental poison
when all is set and done
oh god just please don’t fail me
oh don’t you fail me
full of thorns, gasp for breath
nothing here, nothing is left
in the dead of the night
heavy, so heavy
drag my casket far away from here
slow, so slow
drain the poison out my flesh
7.
Into the Abyss
08:02
lyrics
buy track
feet on the ground
head rolls over
a static stare into the funeral pyre
hands on the rope
the breath getting slower
a hopeless stare into the face of hellfire
maybe we were left for dead
nothing is here
some of us are better off dead
nothing seems real
in a way, in a way, in a way you go home
in a way, in a way, on this day you belong
the time has come
lend me your hand
into the abyss
straight we descent
like a dead whore, slaughtered and wrenched
but they needed more, the longing for more, for more
this is how we come undone
slowly crushed under the sun, the sun
kneel on the ground
weep into slumber
static stare into the funeral pyre
pray to your gods
begging for mercy
as they are devoured by the fangs of hellfire
maybe we were left for dead
nothing is here
some of us are better off dead
nothing seems real
in a way, in a way, in a way you go home
in a way, in a way, on this day you belong
the time has come
lend me your hand
into the abyss
straight we descent
like a dead whore, slaughtered and wrenched
but they needed more, the longing for more, for more
this is how we come undone
slowly crushed under the sun, the sun
see the bending of the trees
see the rising of the beast
see the twitching bodies burn
see the stardust as it turns
march of death itself
through hell
about
“Trapped in a shell, I cease to exist, with broken bones, tattered my flesh.”
A rhythmical stream of rough, aggressive vocals delivers bleak lyrics over incessantly driving, occasionally floating guitars, all on top of a quaking foundation of a gnarly, distorted bass and versatile drums.
Words like this may be used to describe what we are doing. Or trying to. It’s a bleak form of art. We hope you like it.
