our paths on the map of life,
they have been drawn out from the start
some are baptized in rivers of reward without earning reward
born from the loins of fate, forcefed lies,
thrown in the cradle of strife
until we kiss the flames,
we’ll forever balance on the edge of the knife
and all I want is to trade this hell for heaven - to die is to live forever
all I ever had I gave - so now carry me beyond death and grave
Forever cursed by the stars and the suns
Unforgiven and remembered only for my wrongs
Controlled by the demons that breed in my mind
Kept down to a pattern life predesigned
Life is done but where is death
Ill-gotten gains versus bottomless debts
Fortunes built on fear hurt death and rage
Enforced to live in this bodily cage
Blackened hardcore with the sheer heady power of stadium crust and the glacial melodies of second-wave black metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 10, 2023
