lyrics

I, in the stomach of the wolf
Self, in the womb of a dying mother
The void that is your right to happiness
One, as the fruit that has been pulled
Self, in the semen of spiteful fathers
You only want more where you should have less

Your cries unheard by all ears not your own
Annoyance to the one that leaves your bones

Joy, in the shit left on the ground
Safe, as the footprints that reveal your pace
Beast of prey wanted to close in on you
Joy, in the stifling of your last sounds
Smug, as the fear upon your dying face
Beast of prey disregarded what you know

Your cries unheard by al ears not your own
Annoyance to the one that leaves your bones

Right to life ends in death, right to life ends in death
We're all made of meat
Right to life ends in death, right to life ends in death
We all need to eat
Right to life ends in death, right to life ends in death
We're all made of meat
Right to life ends in death, right to life ends in death
We all need to eat

Eat the young
Eat the weak
Eat the animal who protects the meek
Beast of prey
Had his day
Internalized
Creates new ways

Sink into the fact there is a predator at your back
Sink into the fact there is a predator at your back

It eats the young
Eats the frail
And feeds upon the alpha male
Beast of prey
Had its day
Internalized
Creates new ways

Get comfortable with the way you take down your prey
Take down your prey

Your cries unheard by all ears not your own
Your cries unheard by all ears not your own

You've been culled
Again and again
You've been culled
Again and again
You've been culled
Again and again
You've been culled
Again and again

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
