Prized Possession
04:09
|
|||
All the thoughts I led astray
In their half-closed eyes
All the skin I crawled into
Like a callow prize
The sun is down
Now turn the lights out
Let it drive them mad
Mors et vita
Let voices scream into the silent night
Unhallowed now
What is a body to the living?
Unhallowed ground
Let me inhabit them completely
Unseal their soul
How they sway in spectral puppetry
Receive my presence
Something sad in nostalgia for the living
When my hate runs deep
Trying their ego and skin on for size
I become my collection’s life
In agreement with our own possession,
I’ll never leave
The sun is down
Now turn the lights out
Let it drive them mad
Mors et vita
Let voices scream into the silent night
Unhallowed now
What is a body to the living?
Unhallowed ground
Let me inhabit them completely
Unseal their soul
Their fate is sealed
I turn the lights out
I call them down
Mors et vita
Our voices rise into a single cry
One hollow sound
This is a sermon to the living
On hallowed ground
I will inhabit them completely
Possessions now

Hand of Avarice
03:02
|
|||
Cutting flesh away
Gutting into you
Drained at sentencing
Running red
Cutting guilt away
Justice merciless
Final sentencing
Of condemned
Seething agony
Crying in misery
Twitching criminal
Bleeding guilt
Capital torture
Sadist’s orders
Hand of avarice
Cut from living sin
From the soil where the mandrake spills
Severed creeping from the tomb of fallen guilty
A rotting hand that lusts to kill again in avarice
And resplendent, bathe itself in blood and greed
Crawl inside of them, thirsting
Until the light of day
Stealing from their own purity
Blighted shadows
The handless corpse in the ground bleeds still
His ghost worming with a hatred of the living
Darkness spreading like a plague into their hardened hearts
Justice cannot wash his rotting death away
Crawl inside of them, thirsting
Until the light of day
Stealing from their own purity,
Blighted shadows
His soul is gone but his skull pleads still
Dead heart beating to the choking of his jury
The spectral hand of the condemned clawing at them
Grasping prospects of his fortune from the grave
Crawl inside of them, thirsting
Until the light of day
Stealing from their own purity,
Blighted shadows

Fatal Strategy
04:19
|
|||
Twice as bright, this star in darkness
Twice it lights his way
But tonight his body lying,
His soul to stray
He could see a divergent life
Stretching to eternity
His thread tattered and frayed
One slip of fate and he could die
Divide the shroud of eternity
No sleep where his soul is going
Pull back the shroud of eternity
Pool of blood in the light below him
Twice tonight he tried to die
Twice tonight he fled his grave
Soul alight from the inferno
Blinded from heaven’s gaze
Fatal strategy seeks an apology
No matter where he flees
Endless waves in the sea of mortality
One slip of fate and he will die
Come find the path to eternity
Cheat fate with a body dying
Caught up in his fatal strategies
One more hand of fate to deal and die
Twice as bright, this star in darkness
Twice it lights his way
But tonight his body lying,
His soul to stray
He could see a divergent life
Stretching to eternity
His thread tattered and frayed
One slip of fate and he could die
Divide the shroud of eternity
No sleep where his soul is going
Pull back the shroud of eternity
Pool of blood in the light below him

Weight of the Steel
03:34
|
|||
There is something in the aching day
That calls to you to sever ties, the honored few you call upon to stay
You hold them true, you feel they will not break
In their deeds you see the philosophy and the steel
Mortal deeds that hold their weight for the grave
Resigned, you see their lives - withdraw
Fall on severed ties
With bonds that bleed, undone they beg to leave
You watch your friends in thought and deed all fall away
Under the weight of the steel and its philosophy
To family, nothing new and nothing left to say
Under the lies and grief they turn away
There is no bond, on this earth, that your fate can conceal
Whatever your creed, let violence... wash away
Resigned, you watch their lives - withdraw
Fall on severed ties
With eyes that weep, bonds, undone now bleed
All your feelings in thought and deed you led yourself astray
On leaden knees, that reeling falls to earth

Witch's Mark
03:19
|
|||
A strong mind in a sacrosanct body
A martyr lashed to a wheel of pain
Genocide in a veil of shadow
She’s both to suffer and to blame
They seek to absolve their grief
Blaming her for the all sins they washed away, yet
The stone circle offers only persecution
Whispers each of them a brutal truth
They find their pride too cold to swallow
In sickened minds, where she has to bleed
Their hatred burns ignorant unhallowed
She has to suffer their decree
They seek to absolve their grief
Blaming her for the all sins they washed away, yet
The circle offers only false absolution
Whispers each of them a brutal truth
We need to follow, or so they say,
Another sighting, another mark
Innocents tortured, no other way
A false prophetic
An omen yet to be
Their minds are sick
Our fate is clear
They watch us suffer
We’re gonna die
We need to follow, we need to pay
Appease the sadist guilt
of their suffocated minds
A strong mind in a sacrosanct body
A martyr lashed to a wheel of pain
Genocide in a veil of shadow
She’s both to suffer and to blame
They seek to absolve their grief
Blaming her for the all sins they washed away, yet
The stone circle offers only persecution
Whispers each of them a brutal truth

Feast at Normandy
03:42
|
|||
Deep asleep in the grip of hate
Fine souls waiting to be eaten
I arise, no other way
Slake my sick hunger
They don’t know anything
Of my own indiscretion
Caked in the sand of my domain
And their eaten viscera
Dive into their veins,
Their spines, and their hearts
Look helplessly upon me
Paralyzed, they’re my feast
Dive into their veins,
Drive into their hearts
In shocked catalepsy
Helpless now to stop me
Feast of fiends and allies
See the mist at twilight
Bombing, the daylights black out
Leeching until I pass out
This is rapture for me
Mortar seared mortality
Hiss of the beach at sunset
Soldiers weeping softly
I preside over this feast of stolen glory
Pride and dreams now cease to twitch within me
Blood and flesh of deceased swollen in me
Pull me back into antiquity
I’m sick with their mortal hate
Their souls are devoid of pity
Suicide will wash away
My unlife from within
Their own monstrosity
Has ascended my own dark hunger
Man’s line in history
Has set me to sleep forever

Hadean Return
03:50
|

Ice age is rising, you say good bye
Watching another day, descend into night
Envisaged thoughts all freeze, then fade away
Greeting insanity, you shiver, you pray
Grip on your soul is easing, as you see the light of day
A chemical elegy that sears the rot away
A final dawn is bleeding, the sky is split in two
A return to lifeless unmeaning, it severs you
Ice age is rising, you say good bye
Watching another day, descend into night
Envisaged thoughts all freeze, too numb to pray
Greeting insanity, you slip away
Endlessly drifting
Through the void
Without a soul
For eternity
Grip on your soul is easing, as you see the light of day
A chemical elegy that sears the rot away
A final dawn is bleeding, the sky is split in two
A return to lifeless unmeaning, it severs you
Grip on your soul is easing, as you see the light of day
A chemical elegy that sears the rot away
A final dawn is bleeding, the sky is split in two
A return to lifeless unmeaning, it severs you

Vigil
04:15
|

We hold the line – is it all in vain?
Does one hand bind the other?
Falling faster – can we explain
Why we choose to die as brothers
Darker than darkness this night
Born of the hunger they breed
Look inward until you see
You know that we have to die
Like endless dream, their hands come to take you
In endless night, left alone we’re meant to die
That at least no one else should die this way
Never fucking again
Close your eyes, we won’t see the day
At least we fight aside each other
Perfect timing, as the first rays cross the sky
We bless the ground where you lay
I want to die, want to die that way
I think of them beside my vow
When I die will they never forget?
The future seems so distant now
Hold your head to the first rays of the light and know that we have to die
Bleeding fast from chilling limbs and praying to be soon enshrined
We will fill this gap with bodies they will never break our line
Standing fast throughout our vigil until the first rays break the sky
Never fucking again

everdying Downers Grove, Illinois
Imagine an orgy of early In Flames, God Dethroned, Naglfar and Hypocrisy while Opeth and Dissection jerk off in the corner; everdying is the resulting 8 stringed bastard child. A melodic death band at heart; everdying has no qualms with genre skipping, with songs ranging from black metal to brutal death metal with acoustic passages. No djent, no core, only melodic extreme metal ... more
