Bury Me In Misery

Open your mouth to my black disease
The syndrome of the damned
Poised to kill your decrepit hearts
You'll finally hear me when I'm down below
So bury me deep beneath the roots
That I don't return to haunt your soul
Into the oblivion void
In misery, in darkness enshrined
A cry beckons behind the eternal veils
Transmissions echo through the layers
A Magnetic pull rips the soul towards the deep
To the swirling eye at the center of it all
Racing down at terminal velocity
Crossed the point of no return
Temporal distortions permeate the field
Gateways open to timelessness
I'll be waiting in 'hell'...
Fanning the flames...
I'll be waiting in 'hell'...
Fanning the flames...
A call from the unliving
A recital of the sinister
The black sun extends its rays
And collapses back into a blaze
You've open your arms to heavy decadence
So it struts this conviction dance
Admonished by these silvered tongues
Emotionless and lifeless vessels
So make sure the dirt rests heavy
Nails clasping tight the rotting wood
A Noir speech is heard in the distance
Reanimated, full blooded black hole
Don't come calling
With your fake smiles and the white lies
Don't come crawling
Playing the poor and the victimized
Don't come sobbing
Performing your play, with your dirty tricks
Don't come falling
Pretending to be what you've never been
I'll be waiting in 'hell'...(for you)
Fanning the flames...
I'll be waiting in 'hell'...
Fanning the flames...
I'll be waiting in 'hell'...(for you)
Fanning the flames...
I'll be waiting in 'hell'...
Fanning the flames...
A call from the unliving
A recital of the sinister
The black sun extends its rays
And collapses back into a blaze
Though we were worlds apart
You've brought me back my ashen heart
Through occult veils we have peered
And danced along with their wicked song
So bury me in misery
Annihilate my old identity
Breathe new life, pull me back
From the black abyss that I've called a life
Though we were worlds apart
You've brought me back my ashen heart
Through occult veils we have peered
And danced along with their wicked song
So bury me in misery
Annihilate my old identity
Breathe new life, pull me back
From the black abyss that I've called a life

Wonder why this poison
Tastes so fine tonight
'Cause we're getting closer
To our final ride
Liquid love has never
Tasted so bitter to me
So cruel is the fate of man
To drown in its own weakness, emptiness
I've turned to ash again
Completely high on pain relief
Thoughts weigh heavy on the crown
Slow sorrow flowing underground
Another undercurrent
Traps me way below the sun
Another sip of poison
To soothe a heart that bled too much
I've turned to flame again
Burning everything in sight
Self destruction on the lips
A thirst for sadness that won't subside
To the haunting sound
Of the dead and gone of yore
I pray for a little bit of light
To relieve a hurting soul
I've turned to smoke again
Evading anyone who draws breath
Spend my nights with the living dead
Singing these songs lest we forget
Another spiteful spirit
Breaks its way into my head
Nesting deep inside my heart
Taking the shape of something dark
I've turned to plague again
Infecting all who stand too close
The thieving essence of their lives
Affection waning on the tides
The saddest epigraph
That you dare not read out loud
And you stand there horrified
For all those lines spell suicide
If there's pain to bear
Well I'm there for you
If there's sorrow to be had
Just pass it on through
If resentment's on your back
And on shattered dreams you dine
Hide your soul behind those shades
An disappear into the night
Shed these fears
Close those eyes
Catharsis through
Saltwater & Redwine
And we are alone
In our reality
Thus we die alone
Our dreams poured out to the sea
Judged to be insane
Always frowned upon
Better left that way
We never did belong
Hold on to the rhyme
To the melody inside
Hold on to your faith
Lest you become a dire wraith
Rituals of hate
Nights in neon rain
Blood drunk from pain
Siblings of the flame
Circle of distress
Bleeding scars won't mend
Dead and gone
The chain is extinct and fuckin' forlorn
Hold on to the rhyme
To the melody inside
Hold on to your faith
Lest you become a phantom frame
Wonder why this poison
Tastes so fine tonight
'Cause we're getting closer
To our final ride
Liquid love has never
Tasted so bitter to me
So cruel is the fate of man
To drown in its own weakness, emptiness
That's it brother, we're on our final ride.

It's been a long time coming
There's a murmur in the air
A voice only heard in dreams
An urgent warning to beware
A change in the seasons
As white flowers wither
Some paths are taken
Others forsaken
Breathe in the rust
In the wake of violence
Take that risky dance
Set your world on fire
It's been a long time coming
And I see it clearly now
A break from this black spell
A swift release from hell
You throw your most oppressive aura
Against my blind tenderness
The shards have been rearranged
By silent nights of heavy aggression
Breaking the chains
Runnin' away
Leaving the pain
To drink the rain
Happiness, it's here to stay?
Lost in the waves
Of a dying sun
Tasting the grit
Of days now gone
An alliance of dust and stone
I cast my darkest conjuration
My shadows leading your extinction
These pieces of fractured dreams
Slash away at your psyche constantly
Breaking the chains
Runnin' away
Leaving the pain
To drink the rain
Happiness, it's here to stay?
Lost in the waves
Of a dying sun
Tasting the grit
Of days now gone
An alliance of dust and stone
Lost among piles of photographs
They're nothing but shadows and ghosts of the past
So much love wasted on these phantom bonds
A string of loneliness stretching for miles long
So hear now this battle-cry
Love is gone and so am I
Only the shadows of affection
Remain
So shout out your pale refrain
I leave these reasons for the sane
Alive only to feel
The caustic touch of pain
But in dreams
The blood still streams
An ensemble of distress
But I'm taking the high road
Leaving these battlegrounds
Fleeing far beyond the sun
And so in dreams
These outlandish scenes
This hurt never ceases to persist
But I'm taking the high road
To the heavens above
Where love is waiting to be crowned
Under October's reaping sickle
A familiar harvest of regret
As an announced disintegration
I'm your lament configuration

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say,
"My boat's leaving now"
So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
You know
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to cry again
I don't want to say goodbye
Don't wanna cry again
I don't wanna run away
I don't want to race this pain
I'll never see your face again
Oh but how
How can you say
That I didn't try...
We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
You know
I don't want to fall again
I don't wanna know this pain
I don't want another friend
I don't wanna try again
I Don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't wanna cry again
I'll never see your face again
Oh but how
How can you say
That I didn't try...
So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page a black and white picture of
Manhattan Skyline

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎
