Haunted

I'm out of my mind
And we're out of time
The forests are burned
The rivers are dry
I'm haunting your dreams
I live in your mind
I am the feeling
That you try to hide
Keep telling yourself
Everything is fine
But we all know
That we're all going to die
I tug at your stomach
And the back of your mind
Fate calls for you
Only a matter of time
All blazing ruins
Are of nature's design
I'll haunt your being
Until the end of time

Undead Like Me
03:12
|
|

Blood is cold and dark and thick
Like the river we drown in
The intoxication we imbibe in
That brings us mystic wisdom
And all roads lead towards oblivion
Wisdom brings loss of innocence
And I've changed shape and scale and skin
I am a chameleon
The landscapes change and I with them
The devil lives in every man
Wandered so far from Eden
A ruined heart beneath the shifting sand
Empires fall and kings with them
Shed my skin persist through them
And honey if you want to be undead like me
You'll have to learn to be cold like me
A moment is but an eternity
And gold is not worth
As much as loyalty
Cold and pale like the flesh of me
Cold and pale like the flesh of me

No One Left To Judge Me
05:18
|
|

Everything is ill in the forest of twisted beams
And the rivers are all coated in rainbows of gasoline
And I'm nursing a disease incubating inside of me
And I'm masturbating to the thought of the plague running free
And the kings are all negligent before they'll decide to flee
And everyone is high to escape reality
And there's a sinking feeling in your chest where the plague has come to breed
And everything is broken, cruel, and a worthless deed
And the bodies are all swaying in the wind on barren trees
And the laws are all deceit from reality
And there's a million starving rats and never any cheese
And nothing is more greedy than nothing's own greed
For all of us are servants for decay and disbelief
And God is hanging on a wire made from human grief
And the fucking scum inside you is the only thing I see
And this rotten species is worthless and obsolete
And the ashes and the rubble have filled all the streets
And the fires have burned every building every tree
Until there is no one, no one left to judge me

Under A Crimson Moon I

Mother darkness
Mother darkness
Come and swallow up my soul
Come and swallow up my soul
I sit before a thousand knives that gleam
As a school of sardines
Under a crimson moon
That burns a hole through the sky
Where I play a piano
In the madness of my mind
And I live on a vanishing melody
And I dream in a vanishing memory
Mother darkness
Mother darkness
Lull me to sleep
Lull me to sleep
In poison tongues that speak
Lullabies so sweet
I come to find the piano gone
And search in vain for what I seek
Where I lay my body down
In a void where I can't see
Where a voice in unfathomable speech
Comes calling for me

Imperium
08:47

|

Cold and dark
Life is short
Teeth like knives
Hold back against the tide
Not one step back
Cruelty is pure
Power is law
And proliferation order
All that doesn't
Conquer and consume
Withers and dies
Go forth and multiply
Spread the fire
Grow the cancer
Flood the rivers
Nature's beautiful disease
Our war against entropy
All shall succumb
Before me
For all that which exists
Belongs to me
All power is temporary
Live by the sword
Die by the sword
They say
But was it really worth the trade?
For all the gold and marble
Swept away
All glass and rubble
Swept away
All ash and rubble
Swept away
To exist is to consume
And to be consumed

At Your Door
06:11
|
|

Let me in
Darling let me in
Scratching at your door
Always wanting more
Slashed your lover's throat
Left him hanging in a darkened grove
Ravens picked him
Till he's bones
I want to taste your lips
Claw your tender flesh
If you want me close
While the windows filter
In the distant glow
Of the village burning to the steeple
Baby you are the reason
Why I'm evil
I want to consume
Every inch of you
I want to swallow you whole
I want to make you scream
Make you scream
Make you scream all night long
Make you scream
Bloody murder
I am the beast that lives in every man

Howcha Magowcha
by Turkish Delight
supported by 4 fans who also own “Imperium”
Sometimes one instrument stands out in a band and here I admire the very creative guitar-work, dissonant, edgy and daring. The whole band creates an energy, which seems to jump out off your speakers. If you love the dissonance of Sonic Youth and the aggressive drive of the Dead Kennedys you should give this a try.

In the Running 1 - Skyjelly / Solilians
by Skyjelly / Solilians
supported by 4 fans who also own “Imperium”
Oozes cool. There's a lot I could write about this, just listen to it. Between the amazing Skyjelly tracks and the darker psychedelic Solilians offerings, this is a wonderful release. A really beautiful record. - Limnetic Villains
