Deep in the trenches I’ve cut my way through, pinned down and bleeding I’ve overcome
Time after time I faced deadly odds and, Death’s ancient hand reached out and I just laughed at him
Forever above the grave
With a wisdom learned through pain
Bitter will and battle worn
Teeming with hatred and scorn
Onward I trudge across barren lands where, thousands have walked and fallen before
Desolate branches reach towards the sky as, Death once again lingers awaiting my end
Forever above the grave
With a wisdom learned through pain
Bitter will and battle worn
Teeming with hatred and scorn
Push away, push away, turn a blind eye
Once again, once again, facing the pain
Push away, push away (turn a blind eye)
Once again, once again (face painful truth)
Suffering, suffering (I chose the wrong path)
Wakening, wakening (change my point of view)
Forever above the grave
With a wisdom learned through pain
Bitter will and battle worn
Teeming with hatred and scorn
Now I return to the land I called home, forgotten, hated, and cast aside
Yet from the darkness a child created, mine now to mold into what I could
have been
Leap out, slay them, take what’s yours, never, settle for less than the best
You will, conquer, every foe, as I, stand behind your every move
Go forth, don’t wait, time is now, do not, look back just press on and thrive
Always, reach for, higher ground, nothing, can stop you with me by your side
Your, time is now, you will stand, facing calamity
And remain, in command, as the walls, tumble down
You will not, ever sway, staring into the storm
They shall wait, for your word…..GO!
Step back, listen, heed my words, they will, criticize and slander you
Feeble, jealous, and weak-willed, you must be prepared to slaughter them
Wisdom, mercy, stay your hand. Will you, hold back where I should have done?
Balance, tempered, strength of will. Judging, all with a discerning mind
Your, time is now, you will stand, facing calamity
And remain, in command, as the walls, tumble down
You will not, ever sway, staring into the storm
In the end, all shall know, your…MIGHT!
Flesh growing weak, stumbling down, the path is bleak, Death has returned, and now extends his hand
Will not resist, hold my head high, accepting fate, release my will, but listen yet once more:
Never bow your head
Never compromise
Stand above them all
Dominating men, in war and peace
Strength and love, choose a higher path
Inscribe these words
You are my Legacy
Excellent atmospheric BM that most likely would've made my top 10 if it had come out a bit earlier in the year. Gonna be spinning this for a good while, especially during the cold winter days. Roland
Not into "sludge" per se, but this Warcrab album is so versatile, no kidding, it did appeal to me. It reminded me a bit of a few bands I liked as teenager, namely Carcass and Crowbar, and that is why this one turned out to be a damn good trip down to memory lane for me ! sachavonkarl74
