lyrics
Run down, flayed by the ripper
I guess this game is done
Surrounded by her disciples
Who thought they’d played and won
But the die was cast when she came to me
And played me like her words:
“Show me a good man who’s known evil
And I’ll share with you the secrets of this world”
I lived a still life that belied
The void inside that yawned
My shorn, thin and lustful soul
Suspired for blood and storms
She was summoned by my longing
Cloaked in future shores
She says that this is the game now
And cracks open the door
So many lies are swept by the wayside
Follow in wounded crawl
So many lives condemned to the riptide
Spirits surround and call
Given the choice of death and eternal life
We feared the end
Seventy fathoms wide spreads the smile
Into depths beyond transcend
And when she’s dancing on our graves
Drunk upon the world she’s made
We’ll know this game was rigged to lose
But it’s the only life we’d choose
So many lies are swept by the wayside
Follow in wounded crawl
So many lives condemned to the riptide
Spirits surround and call
Creatures with craving eyes writhe before her
Worship her widowed arts
Her knowing eyes give inquest to us
In search of riven hearts
Locked down chained by the reaper
I’ve glanced at her mirage
One more crawling, lost disciple
Infernal soul collage
But the dice were rolled before I met her
In eons past and gone
They too longed not to be forgotten
And the game goes on and on and on…
So many lies are swept by the wayside
Follow in wounded crawl
So many lives condemned to the riptide
Spirits surround and call
Given the choice of death and eternal life
We feared the end
Couldn’t be like the gone and forgotten
In horror we transcend
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
Featuring members of Noothgrush, Graves at Sea, and more, the Oakland metal band juxtapose cavernous doom with spaced-out shoegaze. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2024
Oakland, CA quartet LYCUS return with a new album on Relapse Records. Heavy, epic, mournful, and replete with art by Paolo Girardi. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2016
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013
Distilled death metal with catchy riffs and well written songs. It's not reinventing the wheel or anything but it's osdm, if that's what you want look elsewhere. grahamy
