lyrics

Speaking in ancient tongues, the blind whisper the truth
Craving that which cannot be obtained: waking life forevermore

Solemn pleading for the great cessation stifled by the gaze of the unclosing eyewall

A misbegotten nonentity
Rising from the grave eternally
Souls of the fallen will not be free

No, they must rise again
Undeath calling
Conscripted post-mortem only to die again
Serve your deity
Immortal defiance
Vulgar beings built from eternity all share the same longing: only sleep

Severing ancient tongues, blind immortals enslaved
Craving that which cannot be obtained: waking life forevermore

Eternals draw their last breath
But no sleep will come unto them
Their graves disturbed and desecrated
Bleed, they bleed; denied repentance
Behind their eyes a tortured soul burns

Bow down to the creator of this curse
He who feeds on prayers for the end
Awake remains of those who have died breathe anew; undead servitude

Behold; a monument
A hideous pylon commemorates vacant grave-sites

I will escape this necromancy; I will not heed his vile decree
The final resting place of suffering; my soul will die here with me
Unlike all the eternals before me I will achieve the blessed sleep
I close my eyes but will not dream
Do no shed tears, no do not weep
Fulfill my wish, let my life cease.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Blessed Sleep”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

Dunes

This album erupts with technical proficiency and head-swaying good melodies that kept me up for hours. Piper Haqim
