djentura_county Absolutely brutal and amazing metal from these guys. The uncleans are just great; lovely and fast highs are my kind of thing. Guitar work is awesome (so is everything else though quite frankly). Awesome stuff and I highly recommend this album. I love every track and it just punches me in the face every time I listen to it. Favorite track: Vexatious Cognition.

Oceans sink in, the world grows dim This world will feel my murder as I crawl back from under Entwining devastation Eradicate the throne My children down below Arise to the surface Indulge on the humans A feast for mindless, diseased A living lust for devastation of my broken world Indulged corruption inflamed You gasp for salvation desperately, selfishly I won’t stop until the seas turn red Unholy price, the unholy feast Flesh resides on my crown Steal the world of the beauty If they are still here they're not worthy A vengeful menace diseased I am a living structure prophet of a higher world Sent to cleanse the world and claim All the sin. A living lust for devastation of my broken world. Indulge corruption, awake. You have fear of hell. Murder give them murder they're scared Murder give them murder they're scared Feel my murder Murder to the rule of the false Torture to the ones who won’t fall Burn down the empire You see me flick my wrist and go Feed my murder I consume human souls and sin flows through my bones I am in full control I’m never going back into a darker world Watch the glowing embers corrode the earth Saturating a volume of flesh Piercing the human soul right through the flesh I’m creating the ideal a world full of death Destroying the beauty of all that is left So now you may rest Defiling away at the structure of earth Rebuilding my name in majestic rebirth Burning the lands just to bring down your name There’s always a way to be playing this fucking game

Downpour 04:41
You decided to run from fear Bringing us that much nearer to the vast edge we have imploded Lost paradise, indulged in secrets and the lies You know too much, we've gone too far I've known paradise, indulged in secrets and the lies You know too much, we've gone too far Why must you run? In hopes of escaping your tragedy You know that I know that I can't keep myself at ease Do you feel pressure like me? More to this wound, there’s more than you bleed, come and see Let's open up It feels so nice getting so close and so kind Taped from your mouth to your eyes Dragged by the hair straight to your... Where's the world when you're gone? Awake? Still going blind? Will you surrender to abide your time Savoring every last moment Shut the fuck up you're waking up the friendly folks Capture the silence maybe you'll blend Now escape the violence and hold all your breath And they will bleed Sometimes I'll aim just a little bit higher than I'll go But I've outdone myself, yes I've outdone myself The preparations to flay you straight to bone So clean and fixtured, I'll start skin deep As you scream misting blood clots your mouth And substitutes all of the words that cloud around As you scream I push deep in a wound Your subconscious won't hold You know that I know that I can't be eased Do you feel pressured like me More to this world, more than you see Come and bleed Let's open you up Oh, it feels so nice getting so close and so kind Taped from your mouth to your eyes Dragged by the hair straight to your... Tell me what it's like when you are treated like a little bitch Cuffed to all the sides when I'm wearing out your facial stitch Losing flesh and bone yet I just love the way you look You won't just give in, looks like I will hand it to you Hand it to you You You will obey me

Why does an accolade become of this? I'm tainting away I'll enter the darkest rooms And dismember any part of my soul Just to get a little feel of control Everybody's gonna love you when you think you're made of gold It's just the way I live life, sugarcoats and parasites Relapsing subside shatter, rebuilding does not matter Rebuilding does not matter Rebuilding doesn't matter when you fail Nice to see the mirror respond Asking me whatever I want I just want to see more clear Now I'm praying for lore Why don't you end this, why don't you end this now You will remember me as the best and the worst of all Give into the control Madness consume What have I done, who am I now What have I done, who am I Encryption's not the only thing that's keeping me alive right now Still breathing not receiving the transmissions from my mind’s clouds Every time I open up there's nothing to love You will remember me as the best and the worst of all You will remember the better end, the cursed rend, the worst of - Worst of all Wherein lies continue Going up going up to my head Take of your clothes I want them off Take em off right now How am I supposed to know when your gonna, gonna go blow into the storm And you went a little crazy Can you see what you do when you go get your way It's a place that you might not sit not ever Keep it upon himself, me as the best and the worst of all You will remember the better end, the cursed rend, the worst of all Worst of all

The putrid stench of their morals whip right off of their tongues Deciding your right path they’re everywhere and you cannot run They are the righteous and the absolute unholy truth You’re beaten to submission, your fears warped into their proof So many blindfolds strangling eyes They’re too afraid to stare at the light The shadows make it easy for the mind to sleep So hard to be the shepherd so why not be the sheep Even stagnant waters can breed life They won’t keep control, they can’t keep control They won’t quell this eternal strife They can’t keep control Their hands keep pushing me underwater Screaming at me to breathe Their wretched ways pour into my lungs They’re suffocating me, suffocating me You’re breaking down under the weight of their distorted minds Snuffing your thoughts and brainwashed to believe they are divine They’re dragging you down Forcing you to drown Hold your breath, lock your lungs Disregard their imagined sins (Breathe) Raping all the innocence, contaminating pestilence Obliterating everything you thought you knew Dissonance of clarity, a broken singularity Everything you know becoming shattered and strewn Even stagnant waters can breed life They won’t keep control, they can’t keep control They won’t quell this eternal strife Losing all control of the binds they put on your soul Their hands keep pushing me underwater Screaming at me to breathe Their wretched ways pour into my lungs They’re suffocating me Dormant minds float forever cast away from shores of curiosity Ravaged, forsaken, assured a burial at sea The putrid stench of their morals whip right off of their tongues Deciding your right path they’re everywhere you cannot run They are the righteous and the absolute unholy truth You’re beaten to submission, your fears warped into their proof Hold your breath, lock your lungs Disregard their imagined sins (Breathe)

Cursed to walk alone through the abyss Your feet drag to eternity Whispers in your ears from left to right Won't make light of your suffering Oh! There's no devil for you to blame The knife that lacerates your back In the hilt is carved your name The time has come and gone To fix the fragmented past You cut your fingertips When you touch the broken glass You jerk awake from the screaming children of the damned They haunt you every time you become blessed with blackened sand Fading into black is every hope you ever had of partial sanity Tortured by the guilt of every lie you ever wrapped around your fantasy Mind marauded by the memories of every maleficent self-conception Forced to stare into your lifeless eyes every time you’re crossing your reflection 13! 13! Wraps of coil around your throat Swinging! Swinging! Back and forth as you slowly choke I won't back down I won't let you forget I won't back down Too stubborn to admit Your faults, your faults Are yours alone to bare Your faults, your faults Are yours alone I will sew your mouth shut so you can choke upon your lies Choke upon your lies Cursed to walk alone through the abyss Your feet drag to eternity Whispers in your ears from left to right Won't make light of your suffering I'll abolish your name from any book Annihilate any memory Banish you from my dear life And break the chains to set me free Set me free Spiral down through the darkness from which you came There's no one else to blame, there's no one else 13! 13! Wraps of coil around your throat Swinging! Swinging! Back and forth as you slowly choke I won't back down I won't let you forget I won't back down Too stubborn to admit Your faults, your faults Are yours alone to bare Your faults, your faults Are yours alone

Why must I live this way It watches, it wants it It's seen the better days And brings across the shame We will start from the beginning I was just a little kid Raised in a divorce with no idea what marriage is Stayed in different homes the schedule was a hoax Mom and dad had no idea what happened in their homes Daddy left at 2am the devil walked right in Locked his prey with force and shame and had his way with him I swore that I'd never die What a lie Die What a lie Forced it up inside of me a symbiote of wretched greed Crashing down into the deep hole giving out while I screamed Now I need to get out and satisfy this greed Now I need to get out and satisfy this greed How could I concern myself with the intents of a sheep Why would I blame someone else when I can't even fly I swear I’d never watch it die What a lie Die What a fucking lie So why must I live life like this? So I will never know why I took this road It goes to show where will be my throne Where will be my throne Where will be my throne

Cut it and go, so much for getting better staying clean I want to break away from all the constant guilt I bleed I ripped the pain off my chest, I let it consume my best Another blind eye on thin ice we prance on top We vowed to come out on the top as the kings or at least people with ability We had hopes and had dreams, we wanted to be something So we gave it all we had, so we gave it all we had - All that we ever could give I - I, I've been waiting to be restored Yes, I - I've been waiting to be I vowed to come out on the top as a king or at least someone with abili- Now I'm sinking deeper the initial favor has been above me Sit in silence, I sit in failure, but nothing knows me like biting violence Fallout We vowed to come out on the top as a king An empty purpose just to fill this greed I want you to feel reaped I want you to feel everything I want us to feel reaped I want to break away from all the constant guilt I bleed I want to break away from all the constant guilt I bleed I - I, I've been waiting to be restored Yes I, I've been waiting to be restored I vowed to come out on the top as a king or at least someone with ability I had hopes and had dreams, I wanted to be something And I lost everything I had, I lost everything Losing everything that I ever had So much for getting better staying clean Losing everything that I thought I had That I had We vowed to come out on the top as the kings or at least people with ability We had hopes and had dreams, we wanted to be something And we gave it all we had This is - all we had I - I've been waiting to be restored Wake up, I don't want to be the one to wait up I know that you think lesser of me don't lie Can I control this? Let it be known I'm not getting so clean I’ve been broken It won’t get better
