dripping wet I awake to face this hell
lash for lash, we beg forgiveness in
a shallow grave
filling in
with all that we let die
bloodstained hands in blind contempt
as we watch the world go up in flames
an uncaring race (let it crash)
to the edge of bliss (let it die)
off the precipice - over and over till there’s no longer
when did we ever care (write your status, fall in)
what’s my recovery in a world that’s past recovering?
we suffer all (let it crash)
to reach some end (let it die)
like sisyphus - over and over till there’s no longer
life (serenity dawns)
life (as the fires grow)
life (as the clouds bellow)
life (as a heart still pines)
(I can’t breathe with the weight of the end bearing down)
all things must come to pass
the birds, these waves, our plans and mistakes
all things must come to pass
these roots, old scars, light up like your eyes
all things must come to pass
your touch, this dream, lights up with the skies
life as ephemera
stars don’t shine they
flicker in the night, merely a specter of
what once was, what could have been
even dead and gone, there’s beauty in the absence
there’s beauty in the silence
there’s beauty in you
there’s beauty in me
At its core, this reminds me of Dirge (France), but this ventures further in both the guttural register and the realm of clean vocals. Add a few interesting rhythmic patterns to spice things up, and voilà. Alice M.
I am only guessing that using a single word synonym for inflicting pain was liked and the adjective ‘Cruelty’ was picked and agreed upon.
I could just fucking be taking bullshit?
Fuck knows, but I like the word CRUELTY and I like this band more. Perfectly executed design all around.
Carry on creating great music guys, I’m certainly going to carry on playing it to people who don’t have the choice of whether they wanna listen or not. 😁 Tell Ya Fucking Story Walking…
