Deviating
From
Our Integrity
Illusions
Of the souls fear
Strike
With steel
Into the core of pride
Overflowing
Detaching us, consuming us, bleeding us, of conscious thought
Sick of this pain, sick of this world
Trials of life, horrors unfurl
Bite at my tongue, rest in respite
Swallow my words, living hell
It's the spark of delusions
Painted path of blight
Shadows of effete structures
(Hang) low among the rocks
Time strikes blades upon my mind
Plagued by abstract design
Pulling in it attacks, attacks, attacks
Phantoms restraining my sight
Sharp inhale, breathing rust
Poisoned air, molds our minds
We Echo, Repetition
Living in desperation
Crown ourselves with glory
Mountains carved in pride
Power of severed perception
Eyes turned away from us
Stricken with fear
My thoughts wont fade
I will lose my mind
I will lose myself (mind)

Ouroboros

Hiding
Within
Walls
Of treachery
Aim your cannons
Ready your blades
Another opportunity
To silence, to gain
Bury all who oppose
Your word is law
Rip out
The tongues
Of those
Who threaten
Your claim, To the crown
Your self-righteous, Claim to control
There’s no other way
To dignify self-inflicted pain
We must bleed
The agenda of one
Is absolute
You create
Symbolic prisons
Filled with those
Who stood by your side
We, your allies in arms
Beaten, bloodied and torn
This, war can’t be won
If the battles are lost, before they can start
We, will, self-destruct
Speak, your echoes reply
Walls, empty of life
You, have taken the crown
Ruler of none, our hands are bound
We, will, self-destruct

Toxic Embrace
04:00
|
|||
|
Toxic embrace
Draining my life
Envoy of shadow
Spark of chaos
Treading in the dark
Slither in the roots
Trail of ruins
Path of doom
Roast alive
Within my head
Scorching grounds
Searing pain
Burning plague
Bereft of air
Eternal fire
Broken crux
Boiling blood over flows
Sucked into strangled thoughts
Time erases the scars
Just to be opened again
Watch from afar
The blood of our future
Watch out below
The debt of our past
Consuming the future
Encircled forever
Pain and suffering
Follows endlessly
Plagued, Bereft of hope
Forever
Hope turned to dread
Surrounded by
Ghosts of the past
This never ends
Shaky hands grasp my head
Devoid of tears, song of death
Repetition, drenched in lies
Words forgotten, here it dies
I can feel the changing tide
I turn away, cover my eyes
Repetition, drenched in lies
Words forgotten, our demise

Descent
03:17
|
|||
|
Eating you
From inside
Breaking down
You will die
Poison slips
Through you veins
Come for more
You're in chains
Still you tread
Towards the end
Your Descent
Bloodied and beaten
Lower you fall
Fly away
Into the storm
Lost at sea
Object of scorn
Gradual push
Off the edge
Resting place
Of endless dread
Deeper you plunge
Crumble under the force
Your mind is lost
Caged within your head
Imprisoned by endless need
Wither with every dose
It pulls you further down
Into the depths of pain
You've run out of time
To escape alive
|

Human Disease
04:10
|
|||
|
There's a disease among us
Deep in our veins, infecting all
Torment casts it's gaze
Like weights of burden upon the soul
Trample and receive
Blessings of gluttonous gods
Who bleed us dry
Of all we could've been
I find my sanctity
In empty rooms
Away from the labors of pain
Freed of human disease
I just want to escape
Hide in the farthest cave
Save my soul
From decay
Selfishness
It is the human condition
Clinging to us like a plague
Sinking hooks into the mind
Of every fucking human brain
No hope for co-operation
NO FAITH
We've grown so hollow
From watching endless greed
We've drowned in seas of apathy
And this shall be passed on

Bodies
04:27
|
|||
|
The end of this toxic plague
Resides within our bloodied hands
Take the heads of our oppressors
Hang them high for the world to see
We will take our freedom by any means
Cut out the tongues that feed these lies
Your master race is nothing but cowardice
Chauvinistic racist with nowhere left to hide
A bloody end to this fascists plague
Hung from hooks throughout the mountains
Nazi bodies piled high
None shall see another day
Nazi bodies piled high
Racist scum will die this day
Crawling
Your blood splatters the floor
Your times run out
Blade across your fucking throat
Laying
Breathe your final breath
Feel the chamber load
Bullet through your fucking skull
The smell of fire engulfs the air
The ideas of racists turned to ash
Fell every single monument
Death is the only option
For the cowards path
No, sorrow for your loss
You'll rot inside the dirt
The only throne you deserve
Banished from existence
Choke upon your words
Our thirst has not been quenched
Guillotine upon your necks
You must bleed for your sins
In death you pay the price
Well tread upon your bones
Dance upon your graves
Beg until the very end
We're lusting for your screams

Eternal Grief
03:48
|
|||
|
Bleeding eyes
Quench the thirst
Bleeding eyes
Fill these wounds
We have emptied
All we can pour
We have emptied
All of ourselves
Feel it wain
and rust as I stray
Seeking meaning
To bear with the pain
Crushing force
Binds every step
Crippled from fear
Succumb to the strain
Life is fading
Burned to the core
Foundation is rotting
With all we adore
shattered to pieces
Fractions of our hope
Shattered to pieces
Fractions of a rope
Climb your mountains
Bury your grief
Fall below
Our souls deceived
The current pulls
Us deeper into its hold
Pressured restraints
Here we cannot grow
The air thins
As we fight to breathe
We will suffocate
This is what’s left
Abhorrent Apathy
Minds drift further
Than we thought they'd go
They're far too gone
Left with nothing
We are nothing

Haunted
02:32
|
|||
|
Each day I’m haunted
There’re monsters after me
My mother’s body roasted
Ripped apart within a stomach
I am terrified
My legs will give in
Bullets graze my back
There's nowhere left to run
Each day I’m Followed
There’re Demons on my tail
My father’s body beaten
Skinned of all his fur
Trading life for taste
To satiate your want
This is a massacre
Genocide of a species
At the dawn they will come
With metal & fire
To sharpen their egos
And feast upon our flesh

Fight or Die
05:46
|
|||
|
Disguised fear, cowardly shell
Power consumed weakened minds
Given control no one should hold
Racist hounds itching to bite
Shaped to portray a fleeting grasp
Of white control over black lives
Badge of the killer, badge of death
Protects a system that bounds a race
Black lives covered in blood
Watch their strike of extermination
Break their chains
Fight the horde
Constant pain pushing through
Horrors cast upon a source
Attempts to rid the world
Of your guilt
Fire first, no questions asked
Bullets shot without remorse
You have taken meaningful life
Walking free, spreading lies
Murderers
Walk the streets
On the hunt
For black bodies
Filled with rage
Their ignorant pride
Fearing the moment
We take whats ours
Another day
Another life
Endless tears
As one by one we fall
I cannot watch
This endless slaughter
Fight or die
Stand or fall

A Diabolic Thirst

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended.

Dödsrit is what happens when you drag Post-Hardcore, kicking and screaming, back into a Black Metal setting. And it's clearly working.
