lyrics

Gazing deep in the eyes of death
A stare that chokes my soul
Yet through its grip, the hourglass slips
The sand continues to flow
And as we fight in our final nights
God’s grace has left us cold
The light, it fades, as the shadow gains
Consuming all we know

Pain and despair hang in the air
Tainting our dreams, turning them rancid
Blood to ichor, hair falls to earth
Dead skin to dirt, turning us putrid
The maelstrom’s coming
The sky is falling
And death is stalking us

Our reckoning
Everything we love
Is warped and crushed
Death screams forth for us
It’s beckoning
And everything we love
Is crushed to dust

Temptation, salvation, redemption
A fallacy
Our path to perdition is lined with
Our enemies
Bring forth death, our last breath, the rank stench
Of suffering
Tears of blood, weep for us, please spare us
Our misery

Our reckoning
Everything we love
Is warped and crushed
Death screams forth for us
It’s beckoning
And everything we love
Is crushed to dust

Our waking nightmare
Lays our life’s guts to bear
And twists the knife of fate slow
Blood gushing from veins
And falling like rain
Our end is drawing near now
The ashes of man
Returned to the land
At the wake of innocence bestowed
The spirit of man
In the palm of death’s hand
Monolith of defiance betrothed

Ash to ash
Crushed to dust

Distilled death metal with catchy riffs and well written songs. It's not reinventing the wheel or anything but it's osdm, if that's what you want look elsewhere. grahamy

Impossible to overstate their influence. Few death metal acts have ever done so much with such little material. SchmooPen
