A Throbbing Grudge

|
Come and see
The brave new world.
Bite the rotten apple,
Read the hidden word.
Get ready, brace yourself
Against the coming storm.
It’s raging by your doorstep.
The worst is yet to come.
In this senseless age
Of black mirrors and smoke screens
Hear the whispers on the wind -
The silent cries of rage.
Throbbing grudges
And gnashing teeth.
Ebony tears
Falling in the darkest pit.
Paradise lost
For a hell-bent society.

I Remain In Darkness
10:10
|
|||
|
Soot-covered eyes
In an ashen face
Pry upon this
Barren wasteland.
Wind so cold – I beg your caress.
Cave in – for a path must be taken.
A truce of blood
Written on the
Inner walls of
My rotting heart.
A mine of coal – my soul in distress.
My mind left broken – my thoughts, insane.
I remain in darkness.
I remain in darkness…

In Darkness Let Me Dwell
02:40
|
|||
|
In darkness let me dwell; the ground shall sorrow be,
The roof despair, to bar all cheerful light from me;
The walls of marble black, that moist'ned still shall weep;
My music, hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep.
Thus, wedded to my woes, and bedded in my tomb,
O let me living die, till death doth come, till death doth come.

Somewhere inside.
It's still obscured.
Darkness reflects.
Stronger than fear.
I seize control to inhale this final day.
I shut my mind but I'm falling anyway.
(Chorus)
No, no, no, no
And I think that I'm all alone.
I can feel the rain pull me down again.
No, no, no, no
And I know that I have no home.
I can feel the pain take a hold again.
Tied to the ground.
In mounting shade.
My soul is bound.
And so it fades.
I seize control to inhale this final day.
I shut my mind but I'm falling anyway.
(Chorus)
Tied to the ground.
In mounting shade.
My soul is bound.
And so it fades.
And so it fades.
And I know that I won't escape.
My remaining faith is draped.
Like my hurt and my fleeting grace.
In this numbing empty space.
(Chorus) (3x)

They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried, yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please,
(Chorus)
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over, I'll let you know
Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try, I can't try,
No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came, I missed the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait
(Chorus) (x2)
It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed, well, I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried, yet I'm still alive
(Chorus) (x2)

US Funeral Doom Metal. This is really slow & crushing but at the same time carefully constructed & thought through. The vocals are delightfully guttural & deep as well! Interesting lyrics, particularly on the last track. Recommended!
