lyrics

Surrounded on all sides by the hungry and the weak, waiting with their mouths wide. Everyone gets a piece. When those unkind hands stretch and bind my limbs, are you part of it? The stone under my back, weight upon my chest? All that I can do is keep my mouth shut tight.

Your prayer is my body, anointed and burned, or hanging in the air - a feast for common eyes, a penance for the powerless mob. Given up into the sky, a devotion fit for only ravens, picking apart my skin. If enough men bloody their hands, blood will not be a stain. No debt, no pain, no guilt, no more shame.

In the later years, you'll talk of a higher law guiding your hand, as if justice wanted death. But the truth of it can never be erased; all the lives you waste, ashes on fallow fields. Everyone here is a criminal, finally. I'm lying dead in the soil, innocent, ignorant, gone.

Black Harvest recommends:

Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius
by Abyssal

Fractured songwriting under layers of dense, suffocating atmosphere, and some amazing riffs that combine dissonance with a great sense of melody. Black Harvest

Vast Chains
by Jute Gyte

Twisted, insistent guitar work that drags you into a forest with very few clearings. Unsettling and unresolved, yet it's a wholly worthwhile journey if you listen with your full attention. Black Harvest

Rape Crisis Actor
by Crisis Actor

A dissonant death-grind project from Kishor and vocalist Nick Cacioppo of LI grindcore band The Communion. Black Harvest

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
