THEY LAID THE GROUNDWORK ON QUICKSAND
THEY KNEW NO BETTER.
AND BURNT THE CROPS TO WARM THEIR HANDS
WARM HANDS FEEL BETTER.
THEY DUMPED THE WASTE INTO THE WELLS
AND THEN TOGETHER,
THEY BEAT AN OLD MAN TO HIS DEATH
BECAUSE HE KNEW BETTER.

Guilt

I KNOW YOU FELT THE GAZE OF MY EYES
WHEN YOU DROWNED THE REMAINS INTO THE MIRE.
NO JUDGES,
NO FAIRY-TALE JUSTICE.
IT WILL COME TO YOU WHEN YOU REST YOUR HEAD,
THE WEIGHT OF GUILT WILL WEAR YOU DOWN.

Rodenticide

I WALKED PAST A PLAYGROUND AND A YOUNG BOY RAN OFF CRYING.
HE HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE SANDBOX.
RAIN HAD WASHED OUT THE BODY OF A DOG,
LITTLE BOY RAN HOME AND HIS MOTHER HAD BEEN DRINKING AGAIN
´´JACKIE RAN AWAY´´SHE TOLD HIM WITH A SAD LOOK
IT SAID RODENTICIDE ON THE BOTTLE LEFT BY THE SINK.

Day After Day
01:25
|

|
THE LANDSCAPE WAS LIT BY THE SUN.
HER HANDS DARK LIKE THE SOIL SHE WAS PLANTING THE SEEDS INTO.
HER EYES AND HAIR GREY,
COLOUR WASHED OUT OVER THE YEARS.
SKIN WRINKLED LIKE THE BARK OF A TREE,
A CROOKBACK WOMAN ABOVE YOUNG GREEN.
DAY AFTER DAY
YEAR AFTER YEAR
AFTER HOURS OF WATCHING CERSEI AND JAIME LANNISTER MAKE OUT ALONGSIDE THE DRAGONS, WARRIORS,PRINCES AND SLAVES...
YOU SAID YOU DIDN´T HAVE TIME
YOU SAID.

Empty. Null. Void.

EMPTY. NULL. VOID...
...HE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF, SMASHING THE WINDOW
WITH A FORCEFUL PUNCH.
GLASS CUTS INTO THE SKIN, BLOOD DRIPPING
ON THE TASTEFUL MARBLE IMITATION.
HE COULDN´T FEEL THE PAIN
HE COULDN´T REALLY FEEL ANYTHING.
ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK
A HOMELESS MAN HAD WALKED PAST HIM.
A NOTEBOOK AND A HANDFUL OF CRAYONS
WAS ALL THAT THE MAN HAD.
BAREFOOT. WIDE SMILE. HAPPY.

Lost
01:41
|

|
SHE WAS FOUND IN THE FOREST
SLEEPING UNDER A TREE,
SHE HAD AN ANIMALS´ LOOK IN HER EYES.
GOOD PEOPLE TOOK HER HOME,
THEY WASHED AND FED HER,
SHE STARED AT THE BIRDS IN THE SKY.

Found
00:53
|

|
THEY TAUGHT HER WORDS
AND SHOWED HER GOOD MANNERS,
IN HER SLEEP SHE CRIED.
SHE GOT TO KNOW THE JOYS
OF THIS WONDERFUL WORLD,
SHE LEFT WITHOUT SAYING GOOD BYE.
SHE COULD BE FOUND IN THE FOREST
GAZING AT THE SKY,
AN ANIMALS´ LOOK IN HER EYES.

Variable

|
THE SADDEST THING, KNOWING THE END
OF THE STORY, BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS.
OUR PATH HAS BEEN TRAVELLED BEFORE
AND IT WILL BE WALKED ON AFTER US.
IT IS YOU ON THE JOURNEY.
IT WILL BE THE ONLY JOURNEY YOU TAKE.
YOU ARE THE VARIABLE.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Heritage
03:11
|
|||
|
OUR ADVANCED CIVILIZATION IS EAGER
TO PORTRAY IT´S CHARACTERISTICS IN DISTINCT AND DRAMATIC TONES IN ALL WE LEAVE BEHIND.
UGLY LUSHNESS OF WASTE BY THE ROADSIDE.
FESTIVE RED OF A SKINNED FOX.
SMELL OF GUNPOWDER, FREEDOM AND BURNING CRUDE OIL.
HARMLESS CHEMICALS AND DEFORMED CHILDREN.
WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE BEHIND
WHEN DIRT HAS DECOMPOSED YOU?
WHAT WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED BY
WHEN ROOTS HAVE CONSUMED YOU?

Due to changes within, the band became a quartet and changed their musical direction more towards hardcore and grindcore with taking many influences from various extreme music sub-genres. In 2021, the latest line-up continues working on new material to follow up previous full-length “Crossroads”. ... more
