Speak, my heinous guest!
With fleshless palms and hollow chest
Why do you haunt me!?
I see your exiled trail.
Far from friends, in fetters, bound.
Grim king of nothing
In which seat, will you sit?
At meat with sage?
In silence and rage?
By hearth, at home
You know nothing at all
Spew words of wisdom,
With a tongue not of your own
So foreseightful
Unbroken! I will be
Stable throughout the time that I live
Thinking you're older and wiser
But really the minds turned to shit
The double edged sword of words
Through voices that should go unheard
So forgetful
You have been
You misunderstand
What life can be
Bloodied and bruised
You're there lying, confused
Buried and blackened
Your mind feels used
What once was
Is now for naught
Life
A will
to live
Is gone.
You misunderstand where time was lost
Look up and see
Grab hold of the will to be
Importance of self
Is key to a mind that's free
Mind that's free
Lies
Back to back
Side to side you look
What do you see?
A continuous spiral
Downwards towards the end of life
Grim king of nothing

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
Spun it about 5 times over the past weekend, in a sea of overbearing DM this demo hits hard with those blasts that groove along with the pummel of the riff, and solos and synths that take you somewhere else, better than the record versions imo. bacon_cakez
