Dread
you can feel it coursing through your
head
we’ve lost all faith in the world around us
Forced
into living a lie
meaningless, you’re waiting to die
Cursed
with this life
I’m sick to death with this heartache and strife
Negative
so fucking negative
I’ve reached the point of no return
a cliff hanger with no resolve
no need for sympathy
in this world that is a disease
Negative
so damn negative
Father
Never gave me a helping hand
Mother
Never taught me to take a stand
I’ve been left to rot alone
in this hell I hate to call home
the weight above me is crushing me down
my bones are breaking without a sound
There is no way that you win
cast aside, observing the sin
tighten the rope around your neck
abandon ship and jump off deck
Father
Never gave me a helping hand
Mother
Never taught me to take a stand
Lover
only brought out the worst in me
Undertaker
Take this last walk with me?
I’ve lost all sight of the path ahead
I’ve lost control and my future is dead
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
The vocals are amazing in both Bereft and Augury + their buildup tracks right before. It's too bad that the instrumental version of this album isn't the actual instruments, so I can't rip them on Audacity. lesserknownsounds
