lyrics
The unknowing sirens
A sacrifice prepared for the beast
Reduced to objects
To be used and discarded
By mine eyes I would take them
With vile thoughts I'd defile them
Rend away the 'self' leave only shell
Are these the lures that lead into Hell?
The manifold contagion
Temptations, they are legion
Gathered under the name of sin
As without, they are within
Destructive urges
To harm and control, to use and abuse
For the beast must me appeased
And his hunger grows as he feasts
Primitive desires
Gathered under the name of sin
Satisfaction escapes my grasp
Am I being punished?
Like Tantalos filled with lust
Ambrosia filled his cusp
Unsatisfied, betrayed the gods
Now never will he have his fill
Yet pleasure is an empty goal
Its pursuit can consume you whole
These inherent desires
Gathered under the name of sin
I'm to rid myself of this darker aspect
That I'm told only hinders
My own progress
I succumb to my punishment
Not fully understanding
Its cause or intent
I climb inside the brazen bull
To come out a hero or die a fool
To test my strength against the beast
To go forth one must perish
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
Channeling philosophical quandaries into cavernous death metal, the Australian trio turn modern power struggles into an aural advantage. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 13, 2022
