Divide

An arbitrary line separates us from the beasts
We say they are savage and untamed
We claim empathy, but in reality
We are capable of far greater cruelty
Dividing lines are an excuse to inflict pain and devastation
Borders are a lie used to justify dehumanization
A lie
Fragile skin bleeds, torn on barbed wire
They reach through a border fence
A cage
A pen
In a world where the strong prey upon the weak
The only moral act is to stand with the vulnerable

A bloated ghoul in a cheap suit, fake tan over blank expression
Dead eyes stare unblinking into the camera
A new world strangled by the old
Two death's heads
One white
One gold
Their bones entwined, an unbroken line of blood
An ideology of genocide
Another imperialist interchangeable from the last
A blurring of pale, weak faces proposing yet more wars of conquest
Imperial murder, religious fervor
A new world strangled by the old
Two death's heads
One white
One gold
Their bones entwined, an unbroken line of blood
An ideology of genocide

A fire explodes, consuming half of Redding
A hurricane leaves Puerto Rico reeling
The dying grows, from New Orleans to Haiti
Our leaders know, but they're too busy looting
No one wants to speak about it
Fossil fuel subsidies, proxy wars in the middle east
Forest fires where glaciers stood
A funeral pyre for all the world
No one wants to speak about it
The ones who got us in this mess will never get us out
We'll pull them from their boardrooms and hold them to account
They plan on getting rich from our misery and death
They'll fall in line or they'll all lose their heads

What are we doing
Future shocks are with us now
So what are we doing
What are we doing
Permafrost is melting now
So what the fuck are we doing
Billionaires won't be spared
Your fortresses will fall
Together we will suffer
What comes to one will come to all

Demon-Haunted

A basilisk stalks the days ahead where fallen glaciers abandon their beds
Our food system begins to collapse and starves our children yearning to be fed
We stare at this yawning abyss unable to forget
The price that we will pay or leave behind as debt
Capital is stealing our future years away
And it is poisoning our present days
Look ahead to see disaster upon us
We have become demon-haunted
A chorus of Cassandras pounding at the glass
Pointing to the fires and storms, disasters grow en masse
But the basilisk spews soporific words
So that they can keep the profit while our world burns
Corruption is stealing our future years away
Our rulers are poisoning these present days
Look ahead to see disaster they make
But we will not falter or break
We owe our children and ourselves, the dispossessed, and the world's poor
Restoration
Reforestation
Redistribution
Reparations
We have become demon-haunted
Future is our present trauma

The smell of antiseptic permeates everything around you
It's 2 am and the nurse will be back at 5
Wandering these halls grows monotonous, but all you have is time
And still you don't know when you'll be free again
Fluorescent light bathes you in a sickly blue white glow
False cheer radiates from children's art on the walls
The effect is a curdled attempt to hide the fact that death is here
Your life becomes as thin as the sheets on which you sleep
Cold storage
Releasing your past life, a dulling sense of time
Lost moorage

I Won't Last Forever

I will accept this
I must accept this
I can't avoid this
How does one make peace
The warmth shines through our skin, fills up our heads
The fear will dissolve by the barest threads, as
Remains of our lives will drift away
This twilit world of dust and decay
This long struggle will reach its end
And it will not last forevermore
I will not last nor would I want to

Got this as a recommendation as I was buying a Kluizenaer LP and instantly had to buy it! Great music (To the Throat is leaving me breathless). I'm sad though. Sad because all the merch is sold out and I desperately NEED a Feminazgul Patch!

The latest from this one-man sludge metal project from Baltimore is discordant, spacious, and as heavy as a full group could ever be.
