Diviniis Requiem
06:26
|
|||
|
Sacred rites, skies at night
Offerings on an altar of stone
Jagged edge, obsidian blade
Open the way beyond the unknown
Blood runs red, And the priestess lifts a beating heart
Voices rise, And the people are satisfied
Overhead, in the halls of eternity
Columns fall as another elder god dies
Dead divinities don’t decompose
They just melt into miasmic mist
Acid rain upon the fields below
Is the ultimate expression of this
They’re giving us, they’re giving us A kiss
How I wish that we’d return
To the way that it used to be
How I wish we’d explode and burn
And then sink into the sea
Walk with me now child to the edge
Close your eyes and rest your heavy head
Listen as I sing a lullaby
Feel the rush of wind now as you fly

Compulsion
06:20
|

|
Iridescent, opalescent
Cresting on translucent wings
Angel-bodied, smooth perfection
Our desperate imaginings, yeah
Gilt-edge tile and frescoed marble
Blank-eyed busts of men long dead
Schools of ancients, gates for keeping
The garrote from the garroted
And a motherless child
Garden saviors, idols vile
Ties that bind with word and shame
Priestly scholars, frothing madmen
Practiced thieves of holy name, yeah
The Magi in their temple
Hermits in their caves
The Oracle at Delphi
The internet today
Who can say?
No more old ways
No more wise men
No more masters
No more shaman
Drive them out now
Into exile
For we, my children, are the only ones
Who can tell us how to live
It doesn’t matter what is true
If you don’t think like we all do
Then you’re already dead to us
You’re already dead to us
You’re already dead

Silos
06:14
|

|
Cataract and a broken back
Splintered bone and a milky eye
Crying out for elegant dispatch
Cast out and left behind
Sunk deep in a bitter disaster
Toes black with a killing frost
Dying fast but you’ll die faster
It’s our own little holocaust
Stunted knowledge
Mewling, crawling
All forgotten
So appalling
In the dust the silos stand
Silhouetted against the red
Nothing left within or without
No sound but the keening wind
Lost and fallen
Void is calling
We are one now
You are with us
In a time long ago we prospered
In a bygone day we thrived
But that day never even existed
None of us were ever really alive

Tetragrammaton
05:45
|
|||
|
I am the patron of this land
The weight of justice in my hands
To stand before me is to understand
Your life is forfeit on demand
Now I see through the veil of time
And all our mysteries divined
All love is liquid, so it must be
Just as the river runs to the sea
I am the arbiter of right
I am the stalker in the night
I am the boatman, I am the oar, I am the fast-receding shore
A tyrant’s care is hard to earn
At noon the honored pyres burn
It matters not at all if you don’t understand
All life is forfeit on demand
I am the water and the wine
I am the reason and the rhyme
I am the sickness, I am the sore I am the bloodstain on the floor
On your knees
Worship me
I am
I am
I am the edifice of stone
I am the join of flesh and bone
I am the weapon, I am the peace I am the talons and the teeth

Striving and reaching
Killing and preaching
Fearing and falling
This is what we are
Breaking and crawling
Seeking and calling
Grieving and yearning T
his is what we are
Hunting and fucking
Failing and loving
Dying and coming
This is what we are

Staring
05:37
|
|||
|
I’m falling in again, in again, in again
Wound down, ascended
Stripped out, prevented
Snapped off, pretended
No one sees, it’s only me, I’m still right here
There’s still no fear
I’ll find you on the street
I know all the likely places that we’ll meet
Eyes red, seeded salt, ashes spread
We’re in molt and I’m staring—staring into me
And I don’t like what I see
No one sees, only me, I’m still right here
And there’s still no fear
I’ll find you on the street
I know all the likely places that we’ll meet
Soundless room, bound again, smell of smoke
Smell of skin and I’m staring—staring into you
I see what I need, yeah
And I need what I see, yeah, oh
You’ll like it here I know, it’s warm and safe
Anything you need, anything for you
You’ll like it here I know, it’s warm and safe
And you will never leave me
And I’m staring—into me, into you
I’m staring at the sun again
You’ll like it here I know, it’s warm and safe
And you will never leave

This album is a rare JEWEL! Saratis has a great voice. Didn't even knew about this band before. It popped-up on me on youtube, but recognized his vocal. Check his other band ''AMON ACID'' if you like this kind of music - pure heavy psych at it's best.

I want to say more than this but this album is just excellent. Just buy it. It soothes the darkness inside you with its own darkness.
