lyrics

Made me conflate, made me lie, made me choke out my instincts
Made them ablate, made me deny, made me ashamed to think
Made me indistinct

I watched it grow, survive all attempts to winnow
Then I doubted I could sustain
It wanted my mind, this friendliest of foes
Conquered rationality to corrode my brain
At it's genesis I felt my strongest
I let it in so I had something to play with

Didn't realize its game was conquest
Or that emotion was its scythe
Didn't realize its game was conquest
Or that emotion was its scythe

Moral contortionist
Fervor extortionist
The coldness of nature manifest as benevolence
Empathic diversionist
All metamorphosis uses truth to abort your prevalence

I felt it decrease, forced it to beg of me
But the shame of retreat will make it advance again
A natural state attacking a natural state
The natural state of the animals men call men

Seek a bridge over and under man
We all must cull
To walk free upon this land
We all must cull

Cull
Sample 1-The population of the world is now growing by nearly 80 million a year. One in a half million a week. A quarter of a million a day. Ten thousand an hour. Growing. In this country it's projected to grow by ten million in the next 22 years. All these people, in this country and worldwide, rich or poor, need and deserve food, water, energy, and space. Will they be able to get it?-David Attenborough

Attenborough is sampled over a donkey cull in Australia.

Sample 2-There's only one way to cap a population: By deciding who is able to live, and who, for the good of all, must die.

Can't believe I'm getting on this 2 years late. Such a well-crafted experience, it is exactly what I've been craving out of the doomgaze subgenre. Heavy, sprawling, dark and mysterious. Heroin is less addictive. Magnus Blackwood

Shivery and cold, yet with a subtle feeling of warmth enfolding each track. It's instantly engaging, with a great message overall and a cinematic story behind "Neswa-Pawuk". It's emotional without losing the black metal spirit. Umbra Cornuta
