There will be fucking violence
Like none you’ve ever known
You will be brought beneath
Your walls of ivory
To within a cold stone’s throw
There will be fucking violence
There will be fucking hate
As there has always been
But who, why, and when
Will not be your choice to make
“The end” came years ago
You’ve just been too blind to see
You’ll inherit nothing
You’ll reap what you have sown
Narcissistic fucking coward
Fucking bastard
Burn page, cross out a word
“Binding contract”
But you just change the terms
At your own goddamn convenience
Time and time again
I will not grow old
I will rot on my feet
Hissing “war” under my breath
Till there’s none left in me
By the blood on my knees
By the skin left on my teeth
I won’t admit defeat
If you insist on standing for nothing, just drop
Don’t need you preaching from the pulpit
Of “hey, who gives a fuck?”
Conviction’s too heavy for you to bear, isn’t it?
This was never your fight; you’re not winning it
Fuck
A pound of flesh; an ounce of pride
And the scales read even to you?
Say it to my face
Say it to my fucking face
Spit in my face, piss in my eyes
Shit in my hands, say your goodbyes fuck
Murder my hopes, bury my friends
Tell me you’re sorry and start it again
Fuck you
Eat shit
At the end of this world
When nothing is left to destroy
Take hold of my hand
In your moment of judgment
And witness the infinite darkness beyond
No one’s getting out of here alive
We won’t go quietly into the night
Let’s watch this fucking planet rot out
I will not grow old

You’ve chosen the path of ignorance
You’ve chosen the path of hate
You’ve chosen the path of fear, and it
Seems you consent to this bitter fate
The worst part’s some of you’ll be comfortable
But that will change in time
It’s already far too late
I don’t claim to be in disbelief
It’s no surprise to me
But you will not survive the storm
That you must rise to meet
I’ll watch you run feebly
I’ll watch you beg for mercy
Watch all hope slowly leave your eyes
And I’ll watch you eat yourself alive
I’ve seen it leach into the soil
Taint the rivers red
Now, watch it spread
Like salt and lead across the page
Like poison in the well
Like vermin rattling in their cage
Now, all roads lead to Hell
You’ve built this red king’s throne
And crown with glee
A fitting bearer for your legacy
In the land of freedom
To murder and rape
See how you’re staring blankly
Blood in the eye
I watched you crown your coffin’s nail
Now, I’ll watch you eat yourself alive

Pray to Me

This is how you pray to me
Lying at my feet
This is how you kneel
Enamoured, on your knees
With my tit between your teeth
You'll play the altar boy
I'll play the goddess
Bound and bereft of light
And through my delectable agony
We are deified as one tonight
Don't let your eyes deceive you
For we are alone in this room right now
Don't let your eyes deceive you
For the only ones in this room right now
Are you and I
Show me how to believe again
Erase every word I wrote
Teach me how to breathe again
With your hands around my throat
And pray to me
Fucking pray to me
My flesh
Your cunt only ever tastes better
As it mingles with my blood
Close your eyes
I hope that I don’t dream
Of you again tonight
I just want you to know
That you painted the inside of my eyelids
The colour of setting sunlight
Over the open sea
And I knew love for a moment
I knew love for a moment
I knew love
Forgive me
Don't let your eyes deceive you
For we are alone in this room right now
Don't let your eyes deceive you
For we are alone in this room right now
My flesh

Make This Hurt
03:45

I shut all the lights and arise again
I won’t be made to suffer
In silence of night, I come alive
And go straight for your heart
I never wait for the signs
I deviate from the lines
I am anomaly, I am predatory
You think it some kind of crime
To leave this beast unconfined?
I disagree, my friend
We just don’t see eye to eye
I rise through the mist
You know not to resist
I will lay you to rest
Here, in your bloody deathbed
7:15; bit of rope untied
Got a dead man swinging like
Got my cut lean
When I bake, at the seam
There’s a flake to the skin; it right
7:16; hit of dope on the beam
And my throat is swimming like
Drippy drop, chop chop
Hook and knot on top
Hope you brought your appetite
Before you protest in unrest again
Let me have just one lick
Flayed, sautéed, I will drag you from this place
And then feast on your flesh
I am dying to make this hurt
I am dying to make this
The table’s set for bloodshed; divine
And for my benefit, I’ve kept you alive
I’ll stuff you till you’re torn up inside
Farewell, old friend, for this is goodbye
You can’t hold on to your dignity
Come on and sing for me
Staring so emptily at my hands
I want to see how it bleeds again
Down on your knees again
See how I’m pleased I can make this hurt

For every tear that stained her cheek
For every scar across her face
For every bruise across her chest
Surely, you deserve to die
But I will let you live
Yes, I will let you live
With your disease
You’ll never understand
This hell you put her through
You’re barely even human
And now, you’ll look the part as your sickness
Carves out redemption from your flesh
Ruthless and callous
Shirking love for your
Lecherous, wretched ways
You broke your promises
You broke her body
You broke her hope
You spread your filth too freely
And now your pitiful cock is infected
I’d leave you still and bleeding
But I will let this run its course
Run its course
I’ll keep you barely alive in
These four narrow walls as
It eats away your body
And every day
I’ll watch as you slowly will rot
The earth will open
And swallow you whole
Birthed into death
From this womb of rot
And when your eyes are rotting
I hope you’ll see
That you brought this
All upon yourself
I’d give you six months
Before necrosis becomes irreversible
And as you rot between these narrow walls
You’ll beg for death
Just be patient
It will come for you
Pour
Paint it through
Painted mires pore through
Your skin
We will see this through
You called an angel a cunt
But the cunt is you
I will let you live
So I can watch you rot

Anna Pest Montréal, Québec
An eclectic metal project based in Montreal, Canada.
Anna Pest recommends:
Grindcore ferocity meets metalcore groove meets poppy hook writing sensibilities meets electronic fuckery. Wonderful tunes from some wonderful gals.
go to album
Simply one of the best metal albums I have ever heard. Crushing, melancholic, triumphant, and unforgettable.
go to album
One of the few technical death metal albums out there whose dizzying virtuosity is matched by its transcendental melodicism. A favourite of mine for many years, and likely for many more.

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...
