lyrics

Put out the fires of old with the shit that soaked up all our water
It was too late long before the last pure drop
An yet we continue to celebrate the last pure drop
Make martyrs of the flesh in the name of slop
Sacrifice consciousness for tribe mentality
While allowing our tribes to die on their knees
Die on your knees
Power can exist as delusional strength
It demarks the difference between master and slave
Beyond necessity the world at arm’s length
Would never create a need for a master race
But in that world might would be right
Might is right
And still we continue to misappropriate our attack
Carve peace time statues that crumble after they crack
Can't admit of that which occurs out of sight
Brought to our knees so it's easy for the powerful to fight
And they fight!
Power can exist as delusional strength
Just tell the slave that it's wrong to be a slave
Keep his hopes up with promises of new ideals
He'll attack himself and suppress what he feels
Under the banner of that which is right
Silent might is right
Those stronger will always take what they need
Not governed by necessity or even petty greed
Governed by force
The force of nature
The source of pride
The course starts repeating
With instinct denied
Until a new instinct evolves
The force of nature
The source of time
What awakes from the slumber
Is a more violent pride
Until a new instinct evolves
We've been blessed with the modern instinct of trembling
Been told it's a blessing but I know it's a curse
We've been blessed with the modern instinct of trembling
Been told it's a blessing but I know it's a curse
I'll never get to see it evolved and called survival
Upon the slit throats of both flesh and god idols
Right now I am governed by necessity
These words are now.

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 5 fans who also own “Until a New Instinct Evolves”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

Mélancolie urbaine
by netra

supported by 5 fans who also own “Until a New Instinct Evolves”

《 On naît seul, on vit seul, on meurt seul. Et même quand on baise on est seul. 》 — Seul contre tous. Gaspar Noé. Certains s'engagent dans la voie du one-man band parce qu'ils n'ont pas les moyens d'assumer un groupe ou parce que leur vision est trop complexe. netra est un one-man band parce que c'est comme ça que ça doit être et c'est aussi grâce à ça que Mélancolie urbaine casse les codes. Le black metal dépressif, le jazz noir, l'electro : tout fait ressentir une humanité qui s'effiloche... Jordan Vauvert
