From all strangles
I knew something was missing
The violence was deafening
Tried not to listen
But I hit a wall
Looked at the actual
Pressured to shrug it off
deemed it irrational
I aimed for change with this
Thought it was possible
Without realizing it’s just
Another obstacle
Now I’m forced to resort to this acceptance
But I have come to terms so don’t forget this
I won’t go quietly onto a grave
I’m entirely disengaged
Disengaged with any hopeful guise
I’m enraged with a complicit rise
Breaking down just to catch a break
Laying low as they raise the stakes
My world is a pestilence
Shallow benevolence
Poisons the air
My world is a pestilence
It is a testament
Code of despair
Tonight
Abhorrence prevails
Without a shadow of any doubt
A revelation comes and it shouts
Rejecting this isn’t of any use
Don’t bother confronting
You have no excuse
portrayal of guilt takes the sinisterness of black metal and the emotional anchorage of screamo and creates the most evil-sounding, despair-filled, hopeless record you could imagine. Perfectly crafted and always makes me come back for more, I can never get enough of them. Haydin
