lyrics

Metaphorical imagery you cannot see
Visualise the words imagine it perfectly
I exist in a cosmic unravelling
Wondering forth without life or stability

I find myself at the edge of eternity
Looking back at the world that has moulded me
Moving forward as time passes through me
Fall into the depths, Hold my breath, Start the journey

This journey, Full of love
Undeserving, I don't belong
I reach back to pull the plug
But the distance grows and I'm stuck in mud
I break free of what I've become
Still I choose to follow the sun
I see the exit vanish in blood
I'm engulfed in fear but I will not run

I walk amongst the tombstones
A place that once called my throne
While the dead claw at my frailty
Peeling off the flesh that is rotting

These strings I'm in
Knotted in a life of sin
Still I dream of a pure place
Burning beneath endless hate

Dead eyes turn to black
God's lips begin to crack
The blood leaking out glazes me in death
I will find my answers when this journey ends.
Torment rises through the dead
They march in unison
Knowing I'm not one of them
They beg me to stay but I wont conform to it

Here I stand with the victims of misery
Lifeless, Soulless, Given into defeat
Knowing full well that I helped them bleed
Still I contribute maliciously

I walk amongst the tombstones
A place I once called my throne
While the dead claw at my frailty
Peeling off the flesh that is rotting
Corruption seeps into my bones
Letting me know it found it's way home.
The dead speak of my agony
Feeding off the flesh that is rotting

Given a chance I'll do it again.
Repair it all and tear it to shreds
For the circle of life will never end
A cycle of lost innocence

The psyche bleeds on blades of knives
While perception is moulded by time
Born again as I'm skinned alive
Beyond the empty sky
Where ghosts have no tears to cry

I approach the end
With nothing left
Just my final breath
My journey descends
Filled with dread
One with the dead

One with the dead

This is my final resolve
I am nothing, I am changing, I am too far gone
What is left of my soul
Corrupted by the taste of the demons involved

Peel back all of my flesh
Expose all that is left

Absolvere
by Signs of the Swarm

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Most Difficult Thought”

Take everything that's brutal and mix it together on a deathcore basis. Put the seasoning Signs Of the Swarm call their own into consideration and what you get is basically Absolvere. A perfectly diverse brutal beast with the occassional addition of clean vocals that are not bad. Could have done without them though. mourner
