lyrics

Wash over me, nostalgic ablution to thaw
Bleed over me, carbon memory sharp to a flaw
Blow off the dust, revel in the scent of iron rust
A patina flakes and my body's compelled to

March! Strike! Bleed! Die!

Calling to war the horns through the mist
Ache of the millstone for which we are grist
Running out red we nourish the glade
Spilling a sigh from the edge of the blade

March! Strike! Bleed! Die!

Trumpets distract from the sickening din
Orders to serve are the freedom to sin
Glimpsing a ray through the meshwork of Hell
Drowning the day in a fog that envelopes us all

Almost alive, in the jaws of defeat
Almost alive, where the flesh fails the weak
And time, claims the spoils
The mind, writhes and roils

Then, a fresh drop fell

Sense pulse, tidal swell, single drop, sound a knell of
Rage! Shame!
Everything tinted red, channeling, totemic
Rage! Shame!

All hold the line, no matter how many die
All move forward; among us there are no cowards

Kinship with, former self, ragged breath, slip into the
Dream! Doom!
Spilling blood, any source, bonded to, inertial
Dream! Doom!

Now all that is gone
Of scars and stains
Only shame remains

Heed autumn's coloured warning
And leave this field
Covered in ice

Twitch streamer got me on you guys (|reignman|). Ultimately today i ended up buying the other two records you've put out. Listening to Terra Nullius now, so fucking good. This album was such a great introduction to you guys and love your work. lolohim

Such a solid and unique offering thats been on repeat since purchased. Dark and pummeling with moments of light. Not a bad track on this album. You can be heavy AND catchy which this proves in spades. I love this band!! Thanks for the tip off by old Jackson from Into the Necrosphere podcast!! The Eye Is You
