I slowly recognized that
I'm too stunned to catch my breath
And too weak to end this pain
Chained up to a dreadful wish
Begging for salvation
I feel numb, drained for so long
Imprisoned in my turmoil
Waiting here to die
You still believe in fairytales
Oh yes I know you do
But somehow I remember
When times were not that dark
Before we broke up
Before our hearts bled dry
The times before we vanished
The times before we died
Releasing the frost, into my lungs
Into my blood, to kill my heart
The burning skies of bitterness, kissing the edge
Pulling faces into shards of broken seas, of broken glass
Daylight shines into my face, tears my flesh, tears it off
I left behind these letters, cloaked...
Cloaked in death
Releasing the frost, into my lungs
Into my blood, to kill my heart
To fear love is to fear life and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
– Bertrand Russell
Hour of Penance once again skillfully combine incredible speed and uncompromising brutality with great songwriting and their signature atmosphere.
There are no break-downs or slow songs here - just catchy riffs, high speed drums and awesome leads and solos! v.v
The idea of an album with lyrical themes based on a bad genre name pun sounds like it wouldn't be that good. Thankfully, these guys are really talented. honeycombguy
