Fallen I have in darkness I flow The life you promised me once it never was Your violence and evil will now drive my hands my thoughts I cry Lord I've gone away You pierce the skies to crumble, your true nature unveils You fire death at the sun and cries tears of blood In this erebus I lurk him, Lord, your holy man A seductive call I lure him into my arms I cry Lord you've gone away He begs and pleads as I mark his unsullied bare skin He knows this is your fault but he prays on thee A sardonic laughter casts, thinks he leaves me in the lurch In his open remains I thrust and drench my palms I cry Why? A mark of hate, stained my brow, stained my heart, stained my soul Feelings escape, there's blood everywhere, no vision more clear, I retain my breath For your eyes, Lord, only reach your delight, you deceive your disciples to meet your desires I'll rise, through your Hell You'll kneel, there's no escaping my rage Fury fuels my brain, to extend to your size, to root you out you fiend, to reek of your demise For you made this world ill, almost dissolved in sin and my hope you devoured but you've awakened my will The shadow of my past waves in distress, no need to hold back I embrace the new me

Trauma 06:33
Each night she paints a bloodshot eye her mind to take off She hopes that sadness won't recall her name She tears to pieces reliving what couldn't befall Her wounds, her bruises, unclothe that day (You reach down, your hands, I can't scream) You take her words on purpose enticing But no seduction here, your temptation, your fault You find invading her space arousing You think she's asking, she begs “No more!” (You reach down, yourself, I can't breath) Memory thins and fades away But you sneaked under my skin It's crushing me to strive for sense It's grinding down my mind, my soul You kneel, puddles of pain fill your eyes These scratching thoughts, they crack your bones He shaped you a new self to blame And ruled him out of your misery So your scared sight, your naked being, your trembling heart, your lips to seal Your struggle is shown even if they don't know And though you taste the words into your mouth Their sorry eyes, their judging hands mislead you of a solace path If I'm to roam my life in fear For you to take pride or get relief I'd rather die and mark my words your time is nigh

Zero-hour, fresh poured lies You’re serving them with your crimes Which district succeeds the confiscation of its rights, I wonder? Eager to condemn the disadvantaged When you’re fasting by choice, not by war But you get offended when we mock your faith in God, how dare I? Myriads you’re piling up in cages You back your acts on the pretext of trespass A decline in empathy, not just in wages, I crack up… I dread, my shrieks will go in vein Can you disconcert the mind of the plain? Drunk on blood, screamed out corruption Pigs that feast on people’s degradation And you’re quick on averting your attention, who’s blinded? A mother’s crying out for justice For her son that’s been killed by your fascists But you elect the ones that handed out the blade, who’s misled? All our sisters and your own daughters Getting raped, killed and even slaughtered But you won’t engage unless they cross your threshold, who’s shallow? Your children bleed on academic sites You gawk at morons that award dishonest tries A generation with nothing left to lose, it scares you? Empty carcasses wander through your lives I go berserk, I seem deranged A red sun will deluge the day The trails of their blood, we’ll lead us to liberty We fear no death, for we are merely alive Our time to revolt, your time to choose your side

about

It took us a bit longer than we expected but it is a great pleasure to announce that our EP is finally here and ready to stream. It's been a rough couple of years but we’re thrilled to share our new songs with you and get back on our musical track.
The title is "Pater Peccavi" and it means "Father, I have sinned", in honour of the unholy days that we're living.
