lyrics

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)

The Deathgate
by Gravemind

supported by 13 fans who also own “Stagnant Waters Breed Life”

One of the best deathcore releases ever, each song is great and unique with an interesting story attached to them. Every track from these guys is impressive and mind blowing. tpalm66

Primordial
by Shadow Of Intent

supported by 11 fans who also own “Stagnant Waters Breed Life”

Early Shadow Of Intent already was able to rip wholes into the space-time-continuum. It would have been difficult to imagine how much they would progress from here on because you wouldn't think it's possible. mourner

Of Sunless Realms
by Inferi

supported by 11 fans who also own “Stagnant Waters Breed Life”

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis. Metallurgical Fire

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
