Spite
04:55
|
|||
|
You want me dead, and so do I
But no matter how much I hate myself, I hate you even more
Survival through spite
Survival through pure spite
I will never turn my hand against myself
If my demise gives you any pleasure, I will deny you it!
Survival through spite
Survival through pure fucking spite
(lead: The Rejuvenating Warmth of Burning Hatred)
No surrender!

Mortification
07:09
|
|||
|
Too stubborn to die, yet too fucked to live
What then, when you don't want to feel anything anymore?
Mortification of the soul, through mental flagellation
I will walk among you a breathing corpse, an empty fucking husk
Undying
Living only for shallow pleasure, dancing in the light of burning bridges
"He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man"
Unfeeling

Ashes
04:20
|

|
What a fool!
These pleasures of the flesh entertain me no more
They get old, and I grow bored
This life tastes like ashes
Not even my burning hatred warms me anymore
I've grown cold, and I get tired
This life tastes like ashes
My Dionysian escapism has failed

(Instrumental)
(Author's Note: The things this song is about always come across corny in lyrics, and I sure as hell am not the lyricist to buck that trend. The emotion in the song will have to speak for itself. The individuals who inspired it know who they are.)

Reclamation
05:21
|
|||
|
I will no longer suffer in silence, I will rise and strike back
Despite my protestations, I'd let the bastards grind me down
I am reclaiming what's mine
Know that you will suffer if you stand against me
So pray to whatever you believe in
Pray that it has mercy, because I don't!
The chains of doubt are broken, no more self-denial
Buds spring from withered branches, my will is indomitable!
I am reclaiming what's mine
Know that you will suffer if you stand against me
So pray to whatever you believe in
Pray that it will forgive, because I won't!

Unforgiving
04:26

Traitor!
Forgiving means taking the blame for being treated wrong
Don't you come crawling back to me, you'll remain forever unforgiven!
Forgiveness means approval
Traitor!
Don't you dare call me unfair, honest mistakes require no absolution
But you - you know what you fucking did, malice aforethought is no accident!
Forgiveness means approval
Your reasons mean fuck all, you're dead to me!
(lead: Turn Thy Back, Not the Other Cheek)
Fucking traitor!
Forgiveness means approval

Shackles
05:40
|
|||
|
Whenever I've thought I can see light in the end of the tunnel
When I let myself feel content ...that's when I feel them
The chains are broken
Yet the shackles remain
Times may change, but scars are forever
The doubts sown grow like stubborn weeds in my mind
The chains are broken
Yet the shackles remain
But though the memories may be painful
They are a reminder that they all must pay!
The chains are broken
Yet the shackles remain

about
A self-indulgent but temporary shift in sound to explore more epic, triumphant moods, this is a concept album about rising back up from a downward spiral and fighting on.
No gods, no masters, no surrender!
No gods, no masters, no surrender!

Desperate Dreams
by Violet Coldsupported by 5 fans who also own “From Withered Branches”
I just discovered Blackgaze last week thanks to Marunata, and I have to say Desperate Dreams gave me emotions and made me imagine things I never did before. I don't care about mixing synth/etc with metal, all I know is we are promised desperation and it delivers, unlike 99% of the other bands promising sadness, but depressing name songs aren't enough...After listening to this I just had to finally make an account, buy this, and get back to looking for gems, they still exist.

Sublime crust with all these anguished vocals answering to each other, showcasing a sense of desperation I've never felt.

Wow. I did not expect violin and cello from a crust band. Wow. I did not expect crust from a band that has both a violinist and a cellist. Wow.
