Done.

I remain a Christian, but the "church" has become a den of Babylonian idolatry, unclean spirits, pride, and everything that THE LORD GOD opposes, and I refuse to keep pretending that's not the case, and hoping things improve while the so-called "faithful" continue to fall into apostasy. I'm walking away from Babylon as the Bible instructs me to do.

If I have to walk the world as a lone Christian, then I'll do that. It's better to worship Christ truly while alone, than to worship falsely with a huge group.

Track 8 is about an actual school shooting the artist experienced in 2008.

Both the digipak and the tape are limited to 100 copies.

I'm pretty sure "Divine Kouncil Records" is a personal imprint and not an actual label, but I'm not 100% certain.

1) Tabernacle Within
6:24, lyrics:
Day by day more chaos enters the world
Temptation to slip away into the black nothingness
Hatred and contempt for my kind
Every interaction an entropic inevitability

Humankind, the locusts
Lead astray by programmers of fear
Swim through the horde little bug
decipher the enigmatic code of life

Pestilence spreads across the land
A ploy conspired for control
The disease of greed the only motivation
Matchstick beings, recycled endlessly through time

The wheels are turning
Enfolding civilizations
Descending, layer after layer

Built on the backs of the hordes
Lift the rocks, build again

Walking through this life, affix to Truth
Interface with reality, awareness increase
Layers unraveled, through the spirit of the deceased
Guide us Spirit, illuminate the path

We are the lost, we are the depraved
A thousand generations cut off from Eden

Spirit of Yah, Tabernacle Within
Divine Council

Mankind, the cockroach
Crawling through the dark, in search of sustenance
Crawl across the dying bodies
little bug, you will be crushed

Pestilence spreads across the land
A ploy conspired for control
The disease of greed the only motivation
Matchstick beings, recycled
endlessly through time, Souls cry out for all eternity

Souls encircling
For the chance to inhabit
They grip your heel
Pull you down

You will pay your debt
Faithless soul
Cuckold hedonist
Dragged below

The wheels are turning
Enfolding civilizations
Descended, layer after layer

Built on the backs of the hordes
Lift the rocks, build again
(We can’t get it right,
We can’t follow Yah)

Spirit of Yah, tabernacle within
Divine Council, stand and witness
The creation of New Eden
On earth, as it is in Heaven
On earth, as it is in Heaven
In Heaven

2) Wings of the Wind
4:30, lyrics:
Cast your gaze, up to the sky
Where celestial bodies reside
Chaos reigns in the void, yet we stand firmly here

Who is Man, that you are mindful of him?
You hung the stars in the heavens
yet you care for the small, the insignificant, the rejected.

Everything is held now
Fear has lost its grip
Seek comfort and be restored
In the shadow of His wings

Find rest beneath the sight of the watchers
Crowned with Glory and Honor
Seated at the right hand of the father

The North is stretched out like a void
The Earth hangs on nothing
Light is His garment
Heaven is stretched out like a tent
Clouds, His chariot

Messengers of fire ride on wings of the wind
He sets the Earth on its foundation
Each starry host, known by name
Black the canvas, nebula the paint

Cast your gaze, up to the sky
Where the heavenly host reside
Collimation aimed, praise given to the one creator

Who is Man, that you are mindful of him?
You hung the stars in the heavens
yet you care for the rejected.

Imagers of God, the Earth will be given to you
Light of the world, cast your spirit inside us
Give us power, to rule and reign
Stewards of the Earth, your glory we proclaim

Imagers of God, drink from the fountain of life
The holy city descends down from heaven
The spirit of God tabernacles within men
Behold the tree of life
Gather its leaves to heal nations

All these tears, will be wiped away
Crying shall cease
The epoch of sorrow will come to an end
Death has ended
Pain has ceased

Cast your gaze, up to the sky
Where the heavenly host resides
Chaos seems to reign, yet we stand firmly here

Everything is held now

Created, a little lower than the heavenly beings
Dominion you will have
Over the work of His hands

3) Individuate
2:46, lyrics:
Individuate, retaliate
Crowd theory, disassociate
Control, manipulate
Society, dictate

Free think, spurned
Internal light, snuffed
Individuate, escalate
Individuate, accelerate
Individuate, necessitate

stupid, dumb
Small child, prostrate
Cornered, retaliate
Now I know, I am IMAGINATE
INDIVIDUATE

Hatred, capitulate
Quench cravings,
Resuscitate, deny self
Ascend

Descend through time, felicitate
Love oneself, appreciate
Intercede, through time, consulate
Kindness, proliferate
Peace, incinerate
Control, manipulate
Society, dictate

push square peg through round hole
control dispelled

INDIVIDUATE

stupid, dumb
Small child, prostrate
Now I know, I am IMAGINATE
INDIVIDUATE

4) Back to the Copper Mines
4:08, lyrics:
Coronal mass ejection of the sun,
Send Radioactive particles towards
The Singular Fragile blue planet,
exist in the expanding void of black nothingness

Solar maximum has been reached
All life has been impacted,
all life has been destroyed
Cancerous rays perpetually hurled towards the fragile beings,
simply searching for meaning

Miles long collapsing black void
lead miles down, Into the center of the earth
Our only home, raped and pillaged
For the sake of unquenchable greed

The obsession with materiality
Causes earth pillaging global operations
Back to the copper mines to rape once more
The event horizon is opened, the gate to the perpetual black void
that will swallow mankind

Nothing quite satisfies
Like the hunger for power
And self deification

Miles long collapsing black void
lead miles down, Into the center of the earth
Our only home, raped and pillaged
For the sake of unquenchable greed

Why pray to God
When you can become one?
Why rule and reign with the Almighty
When you can build your own empire?
Absolute power corrupts, absolutely

Your empire, turns to rust
Your bones, turn to dust
You've stored your riches in barns
Instead of building riches in your soul

Care for the Earth
Harness its gifts
Image in harmony
Reflections of a free Being

5) Instrumentarian Power
3:16, lyrics:
Instrumentarian Power
The technocrats devour
Populous data, impending strata

The great oil rush of our time
My feelings, my thoughts are not mine

Spill your blood
For the technocracy
Do what you're told,
Endure the lobotomy

Who knows, who decides?
Who decides who knows?

Harvesting behavioral signals
My Feelings, My Thoughts
Unilateral extraction,
Only a fraction
What they take from us
Do we knowingly give
My Feelings, My Thoughts
Are not mine

Who knows, who decides?
Who decides who knows?
My Thoughts, My Mind
Weaponized
What they take from us
We freely give

Individual Freedom
To decide
The time the place our secrets are shared.
Elemental epistemic right
To know ourselves
To know my mind

Who knows, who decides?
Who decides who knows?
My feelings, my thoughts
Weaponized

6) The Treacherous Road
5:05, instrumental

7) Time Stands Still
4:32, lyrics:
Lies, deceit, betrayal
Rejection of true love
An offering freely given
Repudiated out of selfishness
Strong Willed
to destroy thyself
Blissful arrogance takes control

Self protection, mechanized
Learned behavior
Familial sabotage,
homeostasis
False comfort constructed
We tear eachother apart

Autolysis, decompose
We live in fear, weaponized
Familial sabotage,
homeostasis
False comfort constructed
We tear eachother apart
Limb from limb

The truth willfully blighted
In the presence of scorn
The left hand path
Has been chosen
Spit in the face of the Savior
Trampled by the blows of cowardice
They make a mockery of You!

Abbadon, the angel king
Ruler of the subterranean realms
Present the seal or be cast below
Abbadon, the great destroyer
Leader of the locust hordes
Eternal resting place of the dead

You’ll accept your fate of doom
As time stands still
In the endless pit of sorrow
As time stands still
In the endless pit below

8) Righteous Adjudication
4:42, lyrics:
Do you believe in God?
As they point the gun to your head
Can you make sense of this moment?
As time collapses in

Oh God,
Don’t let me die
Was this always my purpose?
Or was I living a lie?

He comes on the clouds
He returns to take what’s HIS
This broken world will be restored
Adjudication come to the Earth

Shots riddle the hallways
Get down, it’s time to hide
Can you make sense of this moment?
As your adrenaline begins to rise

Children
Run for your lives
Judgment Day has come

He comes on the clouds
He returns to take what’s His
This broken world will be restored
Adjudication come to the Earth

No fetish in mind, can be garnered
Only the grip of reality takes hold
No weaponized tale of the martyr
Only the loss of innocent life
LOST

They're all gone

Who do you blame?
I blame the system

Who do you blame?
I blame the system

9) Repentation
5:32, lyrics:
Confrontation, rehabilitation
Turn from wickedness, reconsideration
Unrepentance to purification
From weakened mind, new realization

Image driven feedback loop of SHAME
reverence is the only thing to gain

Self confrontation, rehabilitation
Turn from wickedness, reconsideration
From unrepentance to purification
From weakened mind, new realization
Look at yourself! Humiliate yourself!
Hate yourself, love yourself!
Own yourself! love yourself!
Hate Yourself, Love Yourself

Image driven feedback loop of SHAME
Receive Unmerited favor

Transactional perfection achieved
Running the program of terror
Feedback loop inside,
Your Operation

Self contextualization,
In the modern age
Unrepentant coward,
you've blinded yourself
Manipulation through compliance

Willful preconception:
re-crucification
Fill my heart with hate

Willful preconception:
re-crucification
Fill my heart with hate,
not for mankind
For immoral deprivation

The first will be last, the last will be first
Golden thread of influence,
Teach me, with a fractal pattern,
I Promise I will learn, the meaning of peace

Subsistent being, never created
I come into agreement with you
In contact with the REAL
ON my knees I repent

Subsistent being, never created
I come into agreement with you
ON my knees I repent

10) Those Who Weep
6:02, lyrics:
My voice will be heard
They tried to silence me
But now I stand in victory

With the legions of disciples
I’ll raise an army to make war
Our sons and daughters will be free

Upon this wretched earth
Every wrong will be made right
When justice reigns supreme

We worked the lands
With our bare hands
Lived hand to mouth for what we earned
Through persecution, threats of death

Through ethnic genocide,
A remnant remains
To rise and fight once more

Through prayer and supplication
Consistent work everyday
We will survive this depression

We’ll sail across the seas
Find a new land for my kin
Avenge the lives of our dead

Tears run down my face
My soul pours out upon me
And as I wait for light, there came darkness
Cast me not to the grave
As my heart turns to mourning
My organ is the voice of those who weep

I went mourning
Without the sun
I stood and cried
In the congregation

I'll hold you tightly
Get you through this time
Anxiety building
Cast your cares upon him
Together, let's trust in God
He says he won't fail us
Though it feels we're wandering through the desert
He has our backs, as I’ve got yours

When we return home
Back to Eden
Our children will be free

MÖRKDÖD

BAND NAME: Mörkdöd (Morkdod)
GENRE: Experimental Post-Black Metal / Depressive / DSBM / Ambient
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: Russia (Moscow)

Formerly went by [Morkerod].
Like under the old name, this project is highly influenced by severe personal struggles in the artist's life. Much more information is available on that page.

The new band name means "dark death" in Swedish, and the artist felt this name fit the project better.

At the time of writing, the only releases so far are re-releases of Morkerod material. I assume new material will happen at some point, too.

1) Satanic Decomposition
7:49, lyrics:
I walked away from half of life
Only shadows met me there
So many written and done
Now just sleeping in hell eternal

Hell swallowing me
Gnawing to the bones
All I can see is fire
Satanic forge

Dark walk in the shadows
Tree color is only black
Trip of torment
For heresy

Deny this way
Embrace the Christ
There is no power in hell
Satan's just the beast

Crush evil within
Your chains are broken
Just let it go
And inhale freedom

Satanic lies isn't deserve
To be written and token
Living in it just killing
And tearing apart

2) Soul Necrosis
6:13, lyrics:
Numb existence
Tearing soul
Covered with sores
Unhappy doom

Sadness drowning me
I don’t wanna live
A Godless places
Sorrows I breathe

Sadness drowning me
I’m afraid of death
All my cries in vain
So deep pain

It stains my soul
It leaves me cold
I can feel
My downfall

Sadness drowning me
I don’t wanna live
A Godless places
Sorrows I breathe

Sadness drowning me
I’m afraid of death
All my cries in vain
So deep pain

So deep pain

3) Shards of Faith
5:06, lyrics:
God!
Give me strength
Save my soul
Deliver me
From evil

Overcoming
Obsession
Feeling the touch
Of your hand

Embracing the light
I renounce from sin

I hope I will save
My shards of faith

God and I
Will be one
In his flesh
And blood

Let me feel
Your being
Your mighty
Your touch

4) Merciful Lord
3:56, lyrics:
Oh, Lord my God
I beg for you to forgive me
I could say a thousand words
Trying to open Heaven's doors

Should I follow you
To Golgotha?
Should I die for you
For my faith in you?

I follow you through ice and fire
I follow you to the better
Your presence is with me
But I am overshadowed

This was not what I desired
But I'm just your creation
I want to be loved
By my merciful Lord

5) One Man's War
6:28, lyrics:
In God’s reflection
His providence
Only freedom
In it

But I’m chained
By sin
And I can’t
Brake fetters

Overcoming passions
For eternal life
God’s purity is
Even in me

Just open
Your spirit
And follow
His will

Slowly
With short steps
I will come
To Heaven

Battlefield within
My soul
This is my
Personal war

1) Hymns of Lament
5:39, lyrics:
Above my field
Red moon is rising
People's faces
Are so pale

In black skies
The storm is coming
Copper hue
The flame of demons

In a crowd in the sky
Circling in dance
Shadows are whispering
Birds are screaming

Cover your soul
Demons are flying
Spreading their wings
Hymns of lament

2) Reigning Shadows
3:11, lyrics:
In dark room of hundreds of mirrors
Plurals of thousands of deaths shine
I walked my path through dark forest
In reflection of reigning shadows

Death breathes in neck
I won't come back
I see God's eyes
Full of cries

Shadows reign
To my soul
Try to brake
My faith

My last shard
Piece of Christ
It will guide
Away

Shadows reign to me

3) Relapse of Sin
5:26, lyrics:
Crucified heart able only to think
A voice inside lost hope to feel

Within dark chambers of soul
Memories of faceless faces
Cold flow of bloody seas
Colors of invisible flowers

I miss spark of faith
That gives strength to take step
All that remains are decayed
Nothing drive away the dark of sin

4) Tears of Theotokos
7:28, lyrics:
My Son
Look at these hands
That carried You
That loves You

With humility
And prayer
I stretch them out
To You

Have mercy
On the troubled
Human race
You still love

For they know not
What they do
By disbelief
Were consumed

Twisted by sin
Shackled by dark
Still pursuit
To light

5) In a World Without God
6:59, lyrics:
Our world with no values
So much sin, lechery, obsession
And disbelief

There is no fear
The wrath of God
It's just empty word

So tired to see all of this
Want to escape from world
I just want to feel
There is still a piece of God

1) The Greatest Story of All
12:29, lyrics:
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)

A book of many authors
Scrolls from ancient times
Reaching across a vast history
Preserved by providence

Prophecies of old
Written long ago
Words of the Almighty
Dictated to His chosen servants

Guided by The Spirit
The master plan unfolds
A story of ruin and redemption
A tale of perfect love

Kingdoms will rise and fall
But the true King will reign over all
By His wounds all will be healed
By His resurrection we are raised to eternal life

(By His wounds all will be healed, by His resurrection we will be raised to eternal
By His wounds all will be healed, by His resurrection we will be raised to eternal Life)

Life and death
Given every breath
Body and Soul
The Great One in control

Holding the keys to the universe, He stands above it all guiding the world to fulfill all that which He has designed. A great war between good and evil is raging. Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.

Redemption
of those who trust in
The God who took our place
The greatest story of all

The heavens reveal the majesty and glory of their creator from land to distant land
The work of His unseen hand
It guides us through this world of woes
He'll guide me through this world of woes

So the story goes
The pages turn
The Ageless One composes His symphony of time
And it listens to only One
The Master of all things under the sun and beyond the stars
His orchestra performs in perfect harmony
Divine beings enact His flawless will
Oh an ornate tapestry
Labyrinthian web of deliberate intervention
Behold the greatest story of all

I've seen the light
It shines through the veil of darkness
Piercing the black
The One foretold shall come and rescue the lost
Undo the mistake
Break free from the chains
Untie from this world
Break free!
Break free!
No more a slave to sin
Goodness and mercy will follow me all of the days of my life

So the story goes
The pages turn
The Ageless One composes His symphony of time
And it listens to only One
The Master of all things under the sun and beyond the stars
His orchestra performs in perfect harmony
Divine beings enact His flawless will
Oh an ornate tapestry
Labyrinthian web of deliberate intervention
Behold the greatest story of all

2) Banished from the Blessed Garden
8:31, lyrics:
Once upon a time
The was a blessed garden
The garden was a paradise
But soon an evil plan would be devised

And all the world
Was peaceful and thriving
But the serpent was conniving
It lied - abettor
Man's purpose gone awry
Now the man and the woman would die

The creation was so beautiful
The creatures sprawling 'cross the land
Mankind living among the beasts
He named them all from the greatest to the least
Carving a rib from Adam's side
The Creator created woman kind
"Freely eat all the food you see
Touch not the fruit of the knowledge tree"

The serpent was cunning and vile
Hatred for God and man
"Take it and give it a try
You most certainly will not die"

"To taste the fruit
To taste the fruit is death
A disastrous aftermath"
"No no, He lied
To taste the fruit is knowing
More and more your mind is growing"

And so the first transgression was committed
A fall from grace
Blight on the human race
Forever tainted now
Forever a broken vow
Can The Lord save us somehow?

"Cursed
Cursed you are
You shall return to the ground
Work the soil with sweat and toil
Thistle and thorn
Your flesh will be torn
Banished from The Blessed Garden
Mortal now
For you are dust and to dust you shall return once more"

"Behold Adam has become like Us
Having knowledge of good and evil
I will drive them out this day forthwith
They must not take The Tree of Life and live forever"

And The Lord God drove them from the garden. On the East side, He posted a cherubim and a flaming sword turning every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.

No way back inside.
Banished from the land.
Forced to live in wilderness
Time was still
Now flowing
Evil inescapable

No works of the flesh
Could save us now
Only through the grace of the creator
Prophecies through time
They reveal the ultimate sacrifice

Death Lurks just around the bend
Eternal Damnation
Following in the footsteps of our father's nature before us
Oblivion waits for us all

Cursed we are
We all return to the ground
Fallen
Broken
Sheep gone astray
We all turn our own way in the end
Damned we are
We'll sleep in the beds we have made
One day
Far away
Wait for the prophesied One who can set us all free

3) Under the Moon of Vice
8:22, lyrics:
Falling down into the void
The tower I created was destroyed

Downward spiral
Endless chasm
Growing shadows
Impulse rising

Oh free me from these shackles
My aptitude fails me consistently
The cherry blossoms fall
And my life decays by the moment
My corrupted desires destroying my life

Coping on a substitute
Strangled by the brutish compulsion
Body and mind under the reign of a dark hunger
Into this endless night under the moon of vice
Frailty and confusion inside my mind

Oh wait for me in the brighter day
Where I'll be free from this master of mine
Oh wait for me in the tranquil times
Where I'll be free from these miserable chains

Oh can You rescue me?
I'm trying but the dark clouds are following
Can You hear my tired plea?

The Autumn leaves withered
And my life will be taken by this sickness
Oh please if You're there, grant me redemption

Thorns pierce my flesh
Fouled by the serpent's venom
Drinking the wine of temptation
Into this endless night under the moon of vice
Deliver me from the darkness
Reshape my mind

Your Spirit sanctifies
(Reveal what is in my heart)
Your power heals us all
(Cleanse me from within and transform what I am)
Oh and the fire will burn
Remove this heart of stone
I put my faith in You

4) Extinguished Lamps
8:59, lyrics:
My thoughts are evil and my heart is wicked
Covered in the night and I can't see the light
Lost I am in this silent sin
Oh won't you please deliver me

I've fallen once again and my will is weakened
The darkness surrounds me and it fills my heart
Drowning in lies of the dark lord
Oh won't you please save me now

When all is dark and we've dulled our swords
We shall cry out to the One we call Father and Lord
By the blood of the Son we shall be made anew
Now remember the pain He endured
The wage that was due

I am now alone, the Spirit has been quenched
Nothing in my heart but frozen emptiness
The fear of reprobation swells deep inside
Salvation uncertain. What happened to me?

Father above, teach me now again
Renew my mind and sanctify my soul
I long for the days that my hope was in You
Lead me to green pastures, lead me to still waters

When all is dark and we've dulled our swords
We shall cry out to the One we call Father and Lord
By the blood of the Son we shall be made anew
Now remember the pain He endured
The wage that was due

When all is dark and the flesh is weak
And the will to endure grows now dimly bleak
By the blood of the Son we shall be made anew
Oh remember the sacrifice made
His blood shed for you

The Son shall return one day riding in the clouds
The servant awaits the Master, and the bride for the Groom.
When we stand before Him, and the cleansing fire
Will He find us awake? Or will He find our lamps put out?

5) He Reigns Forever Eternally
9:11, lyrics:
The whole creation groans waiting for The End
The Lord shall return and the dead will ascend
As a thief in the night no man knows when
And the wicked shall be punished in eternal fire forever amen

Matter, time and space will perish in fervent heat
Judgement on mankind rendered complete
The world scourged in fire and its deeds therein
The Lord will be just as He has always been

Doers of evil will not be spared
They'll die the second death
A fate for which they were not prepared

The world has turned cold and numb to their Creator
Posers prepare to meet your maker
You walk in spiritual death and lies
Now it's only a matter of time before His judgement reveals your demise

Come conquest, come famine, come death and war
Earthquakes like that which were never seen before
The sun became black and the blood moon rises
The stars fell down beyond the horizon

Who can stand against the wrath to come?
The wrath of the Lamb from which you cannot hide
Hear the beating of the drum

In this dreadful nightmare we hope, we pray, we wait
These seven long years seem like an eternity
Trials and tribulations oh when will it be complete?
For those of us faithful we wait

Clothed in white
Washed by blood
Serving The King
Day and night

They hunt us for the things we believe
We've become the enemies of the world
Where good is called evil and evil called good
Nothing is sacred. All is lawlessness

All the light withered away
God's judgement rains down upon the Earth
Famine, plagues, bloodshed and war
Creatures from the abyss awaken
Strange disease, death and decay
Wishing for death and granted not
Now behold and open your eyes
Christ, the Son of Man behold look to the sky

Heaven and Earth are now passing away
The King has returned and the throne reclaimed
Saints and the wicked are rising from the grave
Hades and the seas give up the souls they saved

All will be judged at the end of days
Be not afraid oh the ones He forgave
Prophet and beast, wicked burning infernally
Victory He reigns forever eternally

And then I saw another book was opened: The Book of Life. And if anyone's name was not found written in The Book of Life he was cast into the lake of fire.

Heaven and Earth are now passing away
The King has returned and the throne reclaimed
Saints and the wicked are rising from the grave
Hades and the seas give up the souls they saved

All will be judged at the end of days
Be not afraid oh the ones He forgave
Prophet and beast, wicked burning infernally
Victory He reigns forever eternally

ENVIRO-METAL GARBAGE

^ Logo on first demo

v New logo
higher quality, lower res ................. lower quality, higher res

BAND NAME: Enviro-Metal Garbage
GENRE: Death Metal/Grindcore, Death/Unblack/Industrial
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: Portugal

The project plays a somewhat unusual style I'm struggling to describe. It's based mostly in a lo-fi kind of death/grind. It's been more or less the same style throughout, but as the project has gone on, it's added more black metal influence with some industrial flair.

Lineup:
Joel Afonso - All instruments, Vocals

1) Closed Minded
2:04, instrumental, but the following is written on Bandcamp:
Ouvi no Céu um forte barulho de uma grande multidão que aclamava:
“Aleluia!
A salvação, a glória
E o poder pertencem
Ao nosso Deus
Porque os seus julgamentos
São verdadeiros e justos
Sim! Deus julgou
A grande Prostituta
Que corrompeu a Terra
Com a sua prostituição
E vingou nela o sangue
Dos seus servos”

A multidão continuou o canto:
“Aleluia!”

2) Fail to Prevail
2:21, lyrics:
Open your wings and fly
Crush the devil's seed
You don't need them!
They will betray you!
Open your eyes

Here to stay
Against them
I failed
But you won't

3) Fermentation
3:46, lyrics:
I saw
A black sheep
Eating grass

And I saw
White sheep
Eating each other

Fermentation
They are rotting!

I turned my face away
But the smell of death was pungent
I won't stay
I won't be like them!

I, the black old sheep
Can't face you
Black I am
But not for long

4) Plants for Fuel
3:11, lyrics:
Planta a vida
Na despedida
Passam os dias
Crescem melhor
Sem ninguém por perto

5) From Earth to Space
2:47instrumental

The Harvest (EP, 19 October, 2024, Coleiosis Records)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

Also stream on YouTube (OFFICIAL)

1) To Announce God
1:40, lyrics:
Fragile bodies
Ignorant minds
Trying to conceive a lie
But neither by force nor by thought
Can they presume so high

We talk what we heard and learn from the Lord
But they talk only what fits their skinny clothes
And by force means hypocrisy and social cruelty
Against those who as doves carry the message of God
To upfit this newborn society from the infamous heritance of the snakes

2) Fight No Matter What
3:55, lyrics:
Fight no matter what

Falling creatures from the sky
Hoping the least not to die
The impact crush them against the ground
Their brains squeeze between the rocks
Soaking the well-known terrain

Land of no one
Pause and bemol
Land of pain
Land of the ones who died
In the last war against sin

Grinding teeth
Biting tongues
Squeezing hands

3) Martyr
3:23, lyrics:
Honoured saints are all beaten to death in the harvest of pain
Harvesting the richest of the grain
Never-ending wearing baptism clothes
Weary as the mocking

4) Dictator's Smile
3:12, lyrics:
Matter and substance will fall
Contradictions and blame
The purpose of life
Has been dishonoured

Supreme need for forgiveness
Seeking redemption on things, flesh and bone
Hailing the gods of gruesome worship
Beating the dead horse
Blaming the one that you need
Source of all treasures

2) Beware
4:27, lyrics:
The serpent asked Eve:
Do you want to be like God?
I want it too
But not here!

In the salvation that awaits me
I will behold the face of the Most High
But here on Earth I will not choose sin
Which is the reward of the wicked

Because I hope for something bigger
And I won't be fooled
By the enemy's traps
For the Lord is with me
The Lord is with me

3) Instrumental (bonus track)
3:16, instrumental

4) Chromossoma
3:17, lyrics:
Inside of you there is a hidden place
You don't know
Hail the One who created you
And can lead you there
Chromossoma

A seed inside you
Welcome your soul
God's will perpetuated
Chromossoma

5) Estável
4:26, lyrics:
Fiz voto de estabilidade em Cristo rocha firme
Não olharei à multidão que me cerca como vento
Pois construi sobre a rocha
E não hei de calar o segredo que transpiro
Pois Cristo fala mesmo quando não se ouve voz
E a multidão não ouve a sua própria respiração

A estabilidade de uma rocha está profundamente enraizada
É como uma montanha
A firmeza do mar é a sua força
E o seu ímpeto o seu pensamento

Assim quero mergulhar em Cristo
E beber da água da vida
Para que não me falte a luz sólida da verdade

Enquanto vivo hei de querer-te ó meu Deus
E a morte será a porta do teu reino

6) Old Ways
2:07, lyrics:
This is the way of old
Crippled and bad
Ugly to the bone

Old ways have passed
Behold everything made new

The old man has died
Behold Christ has risen
The gospel of Jesus Christ
Will save us

7) The Mountain
3:58, lyrics:
The mountain is hard to climb
Then look to our Lord up high
He carried the cross for you
You just need to follow Him
No matter how much you fall
Or how deep you are
Just look to his eyes
Embracing his word

The golden mountain of Christ
Is rising inside my soul
I'm trying to understand
But other is holding me back
I'm staring at the peak
Where the Lord is shining
And his glory destroys all darkness

8) Veronica's Cloth
4:00, lyrics:
We man of courage
Like Jesus Christ
Carrying the cross and suffering

What will we do?
What shall we say?
If no one shows up to comfort us

At the height of life
Someone wiped his face
With the care of a woman in love

And we too will not be left abandoned
But we have to value what we receive

A smile
A look
A word

9) We the Winners
3:23, lyrics:
Fight back
You're under control
Lifeless
Facing the cold
Nevertheless
You're on
Fighting towards
The winners
Never to forget
Never to regret!

Hopeless
You start to run
Believing
There is more to gain
Finding
Power inside
When no one cares
You make it yours
Victory!

They started to attack you
They want to deceive you
Making you feel the pleasure of defeat
Laying in your bed when you want to pray
Give it all to Christ and send them back away
Mock their faces
Smash their heads
Pray and forget the flesh
Give it all to Christ!

10) O Reino é Nosso (bonus track)
4:06, lyrics:
O reino é nosso
O reino é nosso
E não há que temer

As chamas estendem-se sobre o universo
Procurando quem o receba
Mas as margens do rio são demasiado estreitas
Deixa-o transbordar deixa-o transbordar

As culpas entendem a tua dor
Quando te achas santo
Mas a verdade não está na hipocrisia
Tudo grita de alegria
Tudo grita a loucura

Deixa-te transbordar
Deixa-te transbordar

Entre as molduras das tristezas que guardas
As paredes do teu quarto já não bastam
Revestidas de suores e lágrimas
Diz o ditado: mais vale tarde que nunca
Mas fez-se tarde e não te levantas

O reino é nosso
O reino é nosso
E não há que temer

11) Per Signum Crucis
4:04, lyrics:
By the sign of the cross we defeat our enemies
By the sign of the cross we create new order

Angels and humans gather around the mighty Lord
Who suffered death to cleanse his breed

Per signum crucis

By the sign of the cross we give thanks to the Lord for its Spirit
By the sign of the cross we gather as one in Christ

To know pain is not to feel it
But to know our sin is to fight against it
By the saving sign of Christ
The mighty cross!

[crxwn]
Treat me like a skin graft, yuh
Using me to hide your insecurities, yea
I don't wanna play that, no
You ain't ever been there for me
Because
I don't open my Bible to air it out, yuh
You're the only thing you care about
You're thin like a cardboard cutout, yuh
Eyes on me like a stakeout
Tearing & cutting & rip out my spine
Folding me every which way that you like
Feel like a puppet, I feel like a mime
Stuck in the box that you made in my mind
The devil is lurking
Suffocate the serpent
He's lurking in the shadows
The wickedness sermon

[47tailspin]
Stuck with you, like you're a part of me
I wear your vibe like a cardigan
Don't act like you have been sorry for me
This is just right where you want me to be
Trapped in my mind, I'm spinnin' confused
The trust that I gave you been feelin' abused
I just wanna break myself from the chains
Can't put you down like you're some kind of drink (drink, drink)

Treat me like a skin graft
Using me to hide your insecurities
I don't wanna play that
You ain't ever been there for me

You treat me like a skin graft
Using me to hide your insecurities
I don't wanna play that, no
You ain't ever been there for me

1) Ov Ba'al
3:57, lyrics:
The prophets of Ba'al
There on their altars
They weep & they wail
As their sacrifices fail
Abandoned by gods
They made them up
They made up their own fairytales

Their gods sit there in silence
The prophets ov Ba'al
Will soon be faced with hellfire
Beyond their comprehension

Altars ov stone
They lie upon
Mutilate their hearts as the blood runs down
They weep, they wail, as their gods turn on them
As my final voice echoes

[Made from the clay]
[and so I shall return]
[Never to be seen again]
[Deep I will lurk]
Consumed by the dirt,
Encased in roots
When the mountains crumble
To the Spirit I will turn

Made from the clay
and so I shall return
Never to be seen again
Deep I will lurk
Consumed by the dirt,
Encased in roots
When the mountains crumble
To the Spirit I will turn

Made from the clay
and so I shall return
Never to be seen again
Deep I will lurk
Consumed by the dirt,
Encased in roots
When the mountains crumble
To the Spirit I will turn

Made from the clay
and so I shall return
Never to be seen again
Deep I will lurk
Consumed by the dirt,
Encased in roots
When the mountains crumble
To the Spirit I will turn

Made from the clay
and so I shall return
Never to be seen again
Deep I will lurk
Consumed by the dirt,
Encased in roots
When the mountains crumble
To the Spirit I will turn

Made from the clay
and so I shall return
Never to be seen again
Deep I will lurk
Consumed by the dirt,
Encased in roots
When the mountains crumble
To the Spirit I will turn

He beckons.
Now go and then kill them
Let no one escape
Laid down on their altars
The blade rips their heart
400 prophets dead

[God is our refuge and strength,] an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
