Take my soul, I’ve given everything.
Bury me deep within this place of death.
Fighting for borrowed time, just to watch the skies burn.
Erase my soul and bury me alive.
As the world collapses, just leave me here in my tomb.
As the flames encircle me, just leave me here to burn.
Obliteration, this place only brings death.
Asphyxiating in the wake of what’s left.
Release me from this, just another body to discard.
Erase my soul, feed me to the flames.
I choke under the toxic sky, suffocating as my lungs collapse.
I choke under the toxic sky, destined to watch the future burn.
I’ve given everything, fighting for my life.
This place only brings death

Captor

Build your walls, to obscure the light.
Build your walls, capture me inside.
I am your prisoner.
Keep me captive from the world outside.
No turning back, there’s no way out.
Lost in this obsession,
Twisted visions of infatuation.
No turning back, there’s no way out.
This time, I’ll give you everything.
Stay with me, close the space that is in between.
Together we fall.
Desire burns me to the core, under the spell of my captor.
This can only end one way. Together we fall. Captor.
No turning back, there’s no way out.
Traumatic mechanisms keep me here.
Twisted visions of infatuation.
No turning back, there’s no way out.
This time, I’ll give you everything.
Stay with me, close the space that is in between.
Together we fall.

Surrender to failure
03:04
|

|
Left, alone, to sink into despair.
Succumb to the fear that’s inside,
This constant torment has no end in sight,
Betrayal of the mind.
No end in sight,
No end in sight,
Failure by design.
No, no it's not enough, my failures consume me. No, it's not enough, it's never enough.
Lost, alone, sinking further down.
It’s so familiar, there’s no end in sight.
Betrayed by the haunting thoughts deep within,
Surrender to the fear,
It's failure by design.
No, no it's not enough, my failures consume me. No, it's not enough, it's never enough.
Give in and succumb to the fear,
There’s no end to the torment inside.
Sink to the depths of your darkest despair,
A betrayal of the mind.
Surrender to failure.
In the depths of the darkest shadow,
The many outweigh the few.
Surrender, to a fear immortal,
This constant torment has no end.
Betrayal from within.

Devour me
03:01
|
|||
|
A familiar pain,
Digging into the wound again,
Carve at the flesh to try and understand again. A familiar pain.
Tear me apart and devour the darkness that’s inside.
Tear me apart, devour me and return to a familiar pain.
Devour me.
Sharpen the blade,
Tear me limb from limb.
Cut out this vicious affliction
Consume the darkness deep within.
Tear me apart and devour the darkness that’s inside.
Tear me apart, devour me and return to.
Free me of this,
Consume my offering.
Take the knife,
And carve your pound of flesh.
Devour me.
Tear me apart.

Decay

Nothing is going to last forever, so find your meaning in the worthless. Every breath is just another step closer to the grave.
Life slips away, to time we are enslaved. Life slips away, we’re destined to decay.

Ghost
04:26

The shadows pull me under.
Sinking into my memories,
Recurring visions that slowly decay.
The depths are so familiar,
The darkness dwells within,
I watch their faces slowly fade away.
I’m haunted by my shadow
The darkness that resides in every single thing.
It draws me closer,
Pulls me deeper.
The ghost resides within.
Descend, my shadows swallow me.
I can’t escape the vivid memory,
Tormented by their faces, I see them fade away.
Lost in the memory of a ghost I see within me.
Pull me deeper, into my memories,
Pull me deeper, into the depths.
I’m haunted by my shadow
The darkness that resides in every single thing.
It draws me closer,
Pulls me deeper.
The ghost resides within.
Haunted by the shadow that's within.
Haunted by the pain that remains.
The shadow remains.
Pull me deeper, into my memories,
Pull me deeper, into the depths.
Pull me deeper, my shadows swallow me,
Pull me deeper, become the ghost.

Whoever seeks this path,
Only illuminates the end.
As we descend into chaos,
Welcome the flame.
As the searing pain purges within.
A symbolic offering to our ruinous nature.
Destroy all living memory,
The ultimate sacrifice,
Is laid bare for all to see.
We are all cursed, This path only descends, We are all cursed.
Illuminate the end, We are all cursed.
Separate the mind from the flesh,
A release from the mortal coil.
Descending deeper into our final manifestation.
Bound to eternal suffering,
Destroying all we know,
Our imminent decline is laid bare, for all to see.
As we destroy,
All living memory,
Our imminent decline is laid bare for all to see.
Descending further,
Let the flame consume,
Our imminent decline is laid bare.
We are all cursed, This path only descends, We are all cursed.
Illuminate the end, We are all cursed.

Passenger

You’ve got to swallow the lie, if you want to believe.
Darkness hides in all that you see.
Burrowed inside your mind.
You know you’ll never be free.
And in time, this will tear you apart,
The darkness devours your heart,
Lost in this vacant state,
Emotionless you circle the drain.
Just a mindless passenger.
Sleepwalking through existence, This is the end.
Your eyes are open, you can’t see,
You blindly follow off the edge.
Your eyes are open, you can’t see,
Just a mindless passenger.
You’re trapped inside, the perpetual lie.
Never be able to see with your eyes.
Just another mindless drone, walking the path of least resistance.
Hollow existence, I see right through.
You never escape from the grip around your throat.
Sleepwalking through existence, This is the end.
Your eyes are open, you can’t see,
You blindly follow off the edge.
Your eyes are open, you can’t see,
Just a mindless passenger.
Your eyes are open, you can’t see,
You blindly follow off the edge.
Lost in a vacant state,
Blindly following off the edge.
Ever facing downwards,
No respite for the meek.
The path of least resistance.

Dehumanise
02:58

I can see the hatred deep in your eyes,
Rooted so firmly, on the ones you despise.
Dehumanise.
Consumed by the fear coursing through your mind.
Is this a way to live?
Blinded by hate fed, disregard for life.
Is this a way to live?
Can you see yourself?
I can see the hatred seep from the sky,
Toxicity etched deep, deep into your mind.
Perspectives twisted to those you demonise.
You’re lost, deprived of any conscience.
Blinded and force fed, assimilating all the lies.
It’s clear what you’ve become.
Consumed by the hatred inside.
Your toxic perspectives are twisted
Consumed by the fear coursing through your mind.
Dehumanise.
Blinded by hate fed, disregard for life.
Is this a way to live?
This is no way to live.

All life is finite

Light fades away, as your last breath draws closer.
Slip away into the dark, this place only brings death.
With every breath,
I can feel your life slip away.
I cannot bear to see you this way.
If I could shoulder the weight,
I'd carry you till the end of days.
Suffer no more, give into the weight.
I am left helpless.
All life is finite, all life will fade.
Dark waters draw you to your bitter end,
Stricken by the void that's inside.
I am left helpless.
Light fades away, as your last breath draws closer.
Slip away into the dark, this place only brings death.
As every breath crushes your lungs, I feel you slipping away. I cannot wash away your pain.
If I could shoulder the weight, you would never fade away.
I'd carry you until the end of your days
Life fades away, lost in times embrace.
Light fades away, as your last breath draws closer.
Slip away into the dark, this place only brings death.
Begin again.
Hello, how long has it been this time, my friend?
So long, farewell, again.
My friend.

All Mighty Men - Drifting Through a Prosthetic Era

Solid release from a criminally underrated band. The Sea Starts Here is easily my favorite song and I can listen to it all day just for those monstrous vocals.

One of the only bands whose beat blasts through your headphone and still sounds melodic. What an album! And there's more but I'll leave you to it!

This band has skyrocketed into my top 10 and there's no doubt why. How can one be as consistent and heavy as them?
