The Judge
10:32
|
|||
|
Shambles in my crocked mind
(The voices keep cursing my name)
Fighting getting intense
(Please, save me from my own imperfections)
Gamble with humankind
(Who am I? A beast? Or human?)
Sliding between two selves
(Citizen and psycho that claim this world’s cursed)
Who shapes what is normal?
(The liars! The robbers! The judges!)
My quest becomes clear now
(To restore the order that once was)
The grapes of my huge wrath
(Soon will be unleashed with fury)
Obsessed with the bloodbath
(Kill the scarper to restore the order)
Maniac condemned to be cut from
Normal people and their matters
Has escape from the convoy
Taking him to electric chair
Judge and jury has proclaimed
His behavior as erratic
He would surely kill and maim
Many model citizens
Declare war on order that keep pressing on your soul
Show the world the worth of Pariah left to rot
Now their precious smiles disappear as my knife
Slowly penetrates the skin, now I am the judge
As my sadism slowly calms down
And the senses are coming back
I ask you all: why did you push me to this chasm?
WHY?!
WHY DID YOU PUSH ME?!
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?!
Standing deep in warm blood
(Fulfilled, my deepest desires)
Justice by the payback
(You deemed me as redundant piece of meat)
Stranded, I stay stunned
(What I did is what they did to me)
Release me from backtrack
(That my life became due to these voices)
In other news, the fugitive
Has been found in judge’s house
Tragically, the police
Couldn’t make there quite in time
Justice will be served as intended
Perpetrator just surrendered
Retribution for the world
For the crippled and the privileged
Declare war on order that keep pressing on your soul
Show the world the worth of Pariah left to rot
Now their precious smiles disappear as my scaffold
Slowly tense up on his throat, now I am the judge

Divine Trifle
05:31
|
|||
|
My life has been filled with hardships
To sustain my family
But soon came down the eclipse
That destroyed reality
Plague and famine devoured me
My wealth and loved ones relinquished
Chose by God to suffering
Just to prove we are obedient
They beg me to admit it’s punishment
They beg me to make an offering
My faithfulness should be extinguished
Then tell me why I endure this Divine Trifle?
A bet between God and the Devil
To find out if I would believe
Now I have become empty vessel
Because my God has been deceived
Plague and famine devoured me
My wealth and loved ones relinquished
Chose by God to suffering
Just to prove we are obedient
They beg me to admit it’s punishment
They beg me to make an offering
My faithfulness should be extinguished
Then tell me why I endure this Divine Trifle?
WHY?!
Leprosy has been peeling my skin
Nature and foes killed my family
I’ve been cursing the day of my birth
Just as the strife on this wretched earth
No one believes in my righteous life
No one understands why I won’t comply
I’m a tool in the hand of my God
Or man with a free will that has been a fraud?

I wake up
In the concrete flat
Given me
By this town
Rise from slumber to the never-ending march
Full of bitterness and sorrow that we spread out
Rituals and habits we conduct in the lines to cash
Tribal dances around our bosses and no self-regard
Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone
Everyone seems joyful in this concrete paradise
Smile at photos and be thankful for the chance
Everyone seems joyful in this modern amusement park
Do not share your darkness or they mark you as the Pariah
Looked at the mirror and I didn’t recognize
Those blue eyes, full of horror and withdrawal
Walk out of the house and I didn’t recognize
Those pale faces pass me by with no hope in sight
Lies replace the feelings that I once had deep inside
Cult of productivity devour people’s hearts
No more friends or foes, just business liaisons
No more Gods or ideals, just targets and constant rush
I want to break free from this modern trap
Find a new path that would bring back my smile
But then I realize I cannot do that
They simply adjust me to this neo-tribe
Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone
Show me your true-self and tell my your hopes
Give me the part of you that still want to erupt
Do not hide yourself behind pride and jokes
Do not let this world to left you corrupt
Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone
I lay down
In the concrete flat
Given me
By my blood
Go to slumber after unfulfilling life
Welcome nightmares about forgotten yearnings
Alternative would be sleepless, frightful nights
Filled with thoughts about ending all of this with the piece of string
Why, tell me why,
We repressed our own cry?
Concrete walls consume all
All my dreams are part of this stone
March and smile for our overlords
Hide all fears and doubts to show that you are worth
March and smile for our noble lords
Gazing at the numbers and performance measurement
Who am I, where I go, is there something more?
Who are you, what’s your goal, will you show your face?
What’s the point, is there sense? Don’t care anymore
What is life, what is joy? Darkness we embrace

It Doesn't Get Better
06:57
|
|||
|
Once they made me believe
I am someone special
Chose by God
But in real I’m insignificant
All those lies made me void
Devoid of worth
Self-respect
Why they doomed me with existence light?
Strife! But why?
You must keep try! I’m done!
Share what’s inside! To hear
That you are insignificant for master plan
Afraid!
This is our world! Filled with
Chances and dreams! Unfulfilled
We are all dragged into the morbid race of rats!
I’ve done pretend
I just keep waiting for the end
In my final letter
I’ll write: “It doesn’t get better”
Trained and loyal just like dogs
Wrangling for the bone
Made of cash
Just accept you are a marionette
We are worthless by default
Or is this just me
Who cannot
Meet the expectations of the elders
Strife! But why?
You must keep try! I’m done!
Share what’s inside! To hear
That you are insignificant for master plan
Afraid!
This is our world! Filled with
Chances and dreams! Unfulfilled
We are all dragged into the morbid race of rats!
I’ve done pretend
I just keep waiting for the end
In my final letter
I’ll write: “It doesn’t get better”
Living in pain, I adjusted to it
Locked up in chains, smashing my head on concrete
Hopelessness overrun my head
Come sweet darkness; take away me from this dread
All that I want was just someone to see
What I am worth, that I am not empty
But seasons changed and my heart is rusted
Friendships died and I live disgusted
Standing on edge of wall
Pointing gun to myself
Reaching out
To the bar where noose will hang
Cowardly counting days
Toward my last breath
I have
No more courage to pretend
Strife! But why?
You must keep try! I’m done!
Share what’s inside! To hear
That you are insignificant for master plan
Afraid!
This is our world! Filled with
Chances and dreams! Unfulfilled
We are all dragged into the morbid race of rats!
I’ve done pretend
I just keep waiting for the end
In my final letter
I’ll write: “It doesn’t get better”

Caucasus Desolation
09:39
|
|||
|
Strapped in chains
Against the wall
Which separates
Continents
Waiting for
Starved creature
To feast upon
My insides
Rise against the Gods (took away the light)
Saved mindless clay man (his creation)
Lied to the divine (as revenge)
Now tell me, why? (Was it worth it at all?)
As I stole the light and showed them the power of their spark
I gained nothing but anguish and isolation perpetual
Was it all worth it?
Why I’m suffering?
Eaten by the beast
Cursed by the Gods
No one comes to save me, no one even remember my name
They betrayed me and ignored this selfless act of clemency
Elders preach a lie
Mankind should’ve died
Why we even tried
To overthrow the Gods?
Waiting for
Savior that will
Never come here
I’m alone
Scavenger
Flies to me now
I’m nothing but
Corpse alive
Rise against the Gods (took away the light)
Saved mindless clay man (his creation)
Lied to the divine (as revenge)
Now tell me, why? (Was it worth it at all?)

Caffa - Day Of Disease

Day of Disease is heavy and intimidating death doom with a macabre theme. However, all I could think of between the cover and track titles was Army of Darkness.

Swamp Witch - The Slithering Bog
by Swamp Witch
supported by 8 fans who also own “It Doesn't Get Better”
Murky, bottom-heavy doomy metal that sucks you in and swallows you up. I love how the album moves from swamp as metaphor for the self-delusions that hold us back to bogs and the ancient remains they conceal within as pathways to deeper, terrifying spiritual awakenings that reveal the primeval horrors that lurk just at the edges of our consciousness.
