They come to us with starry eyes
We shelter them in ancient lies
Tempt them all with paradise
Then cut them down to size (cut them down to size)
Their living souls are not enough
Their bodies all will rot for us
A tale of how the world once was
Written in their blood (written in their blood)
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Take them all, don’t ask why
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Waste them all, let them die
We’ve come for all your riches
We will desecrate them
We’ll turn your children vicious
As we manipulate them
Your fear of us is paramount
We serve our devils well
As beasts we are so arrogant
And make our ways to hell
Into the black, to our memory’s end
The faces of death now in line
I can still see them, twisted and bent
Stare from their grief into mine
Now in our sadness, everything fades
Into the cosmic expanse
We should have known, we lost our way
Back when this nightmare began
No surrender
I remember you
No surrender
I remember you
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Clinging to what’s left of us
We are the last, we are the last
Nauseous from our hunger
And the stench of burning bone
We walked the road you laid for us
We have come, we have come
We want whatever waits for us
We grovel at your throne
I hear your deathly cries
I know you’re hoping I
Might pull the plug and let you die
I love your sorrow so
Your torture hard and slow
Don’t think I’ll ever let you go
I am the one, Orgasmatron, a cold and trembling hand
Endless and insidious, a trap for every man
I am all your nightmares, I hobble your free will
Numb in your depressions, I paralyze you still
I will rule your cities, make every nation my whore
For I am fear, the death of love, and I will win the war
Told you so
Now you know
Gently weep
Back to sleep
Tears are in my eyes tonight
Can’t get the words out right
It’s hard
No matter what we say
Our time still fades away
Like yesterday
People may say this is High Spirits' most "mature" record, and it may be, but it does contain quite possibly their best song yet -- "Midnight Sun." bkrush
My #2 favorite album of 2023 (after Tanith's "Voyage"). Superb high energy hard rock and metal with great lyrics and a unique, fantastic vocalist. Love every track and spin the CD front to back all the time. Love it all. eldinio
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
Greetings fellow Laplander!
Stopped by to check out your bands/projects, I really dug this one. I grabbed your three latest albums, which I have been enjoying tremendously. This one particularly I like a lot. Cannot wait until you release a new album.
Thanks for the tunes,
