lyrics

I have bled where the water bleeds the rivers
A sacrifice to the waves and where they land
I have suffered
My only blood tasted by the tongue of the shoreline
Exchanged in honor for the privilege of the flame
I have drown

In silver flames
Transcendental anguish
Each silver flame
Consequential shivers

Embrace me
Change me
Wash over me
In pain

I have bled where the water bleeds the rivers
A sacrifice to the waves and where they land
I have suffered
My only blood tasted by the tongue of the shoreline
Exchanged in honor for the privilege of the flame
I have drown

In silver flames
Transcendental anguish
Each silver flame
Consequential shivers

Embrace me
Change me
Wash over me
In pain

Wash over me with pain
With pride
With death

" It's not worth the tears of that one tortured child who beat itself on the breast with its little fist and prayed in its stinking outhouse, with its unexpiated tears to 'dear, kind God'! It's not worth it, because those tears are unatoned for. They must be atoned for, or there can be no harmony. But how? How are you going to atone for them? Is it possible? By their being avenged? But what do I care for avenging them? What do I care for a hell for oppressors? What good can hell do, since those children have already been tortured? And what becomes of harmony, if there is hell? I want to forgive. I want to embrace. I don't want more suffering." Taken from Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov"

A thick blanket of noise that washes over you. The vocal is unrelenting, fierce and driven by pure hate. A soundtrack that feeds on evil and haunts your dreams Navs
