Thrall
04:50
|

A vision of tomorrow
is of rivers of sorrow
floating skulls of children
and the beasts who kill them
The way of today
is lit by glaring displays
limp spirits twist, always at play
insight gives way to dismay
an advanced culture simply won’t be
anything to anyone when we don’t see
The flame has died
our hands are tied
our souls are tired
in apathy we’re mired
apathy aphrodisiac
summon the looming axe
thrall to all
now we shall all…
fall…
Pray for death, dear drones
pray for dust to fall
pray for the last call
may the earth eat our bones
Thrall
we must…fall

Shadow Fauna
03:44
|
|||
Glory in packs, pure eminence
infinite majesty and providence
endless power, held in silence
drawing on will, never to obey us
Raising young and free to run
as hunters, unlike the men we’ve become
so untouched by the crown of scum
so emblematic, alpha apex sons
Mourn the empty woods
and curse our own blood
sorrow fills the spaces above
as rot set in below the mud
Greatness can be felled
its memory can be upheld
Two hunters died here today
as virtue was skinned away

The Urge To Fade Away
04:26
|
|||
When there seems to be nothing
of the world you felt you knew
when there seems to be not a thing
keeping you straight and true
when the times change too often
and scum make the world their own
when life is a series of long shots
here’s where the dead call home
the urge to fade away
it keeps my spirit grey
the urge to fade away
it lives to only take away
slide into the abyss
I doubt you’ll be missed
the truth is a Judas kiss
fuck the light, goodbye bliss
the urge to fade away
it slices up my faith
it pulls me into space
the urge to leave this place

Sorrow will engulf the world
Led like rats into the sea
sorrow will engulf the world
just wait and see...

The Keep
04:34
|
|||
Prisoners of a deep, green abyss
Coffin, tomb..here, no light exists
Marble, stone, shards of bone
Where lightless gloom made its home
Watery chains bind mottled flesh
Poisoned lungs induce cardiac arrest
Drowned in midnight’s cruel seas
Broken men bound in death appease...
beauty in it’s hue, lips turn blue
...the keep
...the deep
beauty in it’s hue, lips turn blue
Washed away, lost among the murk
Ex-terra, numb at last to the hurt
Cut into the spirit
the sons of might on Earth
The assassin's woe...
Ma tomb fleur
Me porter vers le bas
Dans le royaume de la mort
La terre a été empoisonné
Par le sang de traîtres
...the deep
...the keep

In Praise Of Alcohol
03:24
|
|||
Of vintage wine I am a lover
drink deep and darkly smother
the pain of walking undercover
in a grey laced land of shadows
pour a dram of whiskey
swallow a sip or fifty
the warmth is always with me
for now a drink will lift me
In praise of alcohol
my faith does come and go
In praise of alcohol
the scars won’t ever go
The heat of mead
is what I need
to set me free
and help me bleed
In praise of alcohol
faith does come and go
in praise of alcohol
the scars won’t ever go

Inexorable Interface

Submit your will
look into the eye of the machine
as sleep takes you there
look into the eye of the machine
your master...

Opium Grave Melbourne, Australia
Opium Grave is Black Kosmische Musik - a malignant hybrid of black metal, darkwave, 70s and 80s horror/sci-fi soundtracks,
early electronic music and krautrock.
Opium Grave is Siliniez: all synthesizers, drums, organ, voices, lyrics and loathing.
Mankind is a plague upon the Earth and deserves nothing but scorn.
