Persephone

My dear Persephone
What will become of me
I cannot fly with these broken wings
My hearts in agony
But I can’t break it free
My essence waiting in purgatory
Lost in this hourglass
time slipping through my hands
What I want is what I can never have
This wretched curse
Can’t get much worse
Wish I could tear out my lifeforce
This world is a fucking nightmare
I don’t want to be here
I want to die alone
I swore I'd die alone
I can feel your skin
Can taste your kiss
It’s painted on my lips
Your deep caress
Against my chest
Drags me from the depths
Now all that’s left
In the end
Is but a memory
Of your hand in mine
Hearts intertwined
This flawed design
Drags me to my death
Look in my eyes
Feel my demise
My spark of life
Fades away in the night
Heal me!
Hold Me Close
Don’t let me go
Hold me Close
Make me whole
A smile that lights up my darkness
A pure heart, reaching down to the soul
Hold me Close
Don’t let me go

Arcadia
03:55

A Storm brews in the mouth of the bay
I watch as the town is swept away
The tempest, the maelstrom, the final premonition
Suddenly I awake in a haze
Back in the room where my memory stays
But Was it a dream
Stop time, Rewind
Go back and change the design
Save the girl, or save the world
I can’t quite comprehend
The position that I am in
This Blessing, This Curse, my power to reverse
My mistakes can be realigned
But now I am beginning to realize
When Time’s Manipulated
You tear its fragile fabric
Save The Girl, Or Save the World (x2)
Save the girl
Or save the world
The perfect storm
Breeding desolation
I cant change this fate
Decision is made
Engulf this City in flame
I saved the girl
cant save the world
Reduced to ash
Barren and empty
My power is gone
We both must move on
Cant turn back time
Someone must die

Memoirs of Ideation
04:12

Release me from this mortal coil
Return my body to the earth and soil
My mind racing, filled with turmoil
My shaking body, existing to toil
This flesh has become my tomb
A reminder of all my mistakes
Living with this perpetual gloom
Nagging until I mentally break
I can't feel my face anymore
I’ve spent days just wasting away
Lying lifeless on the bedroom floor
Counting down each passing day
Snuff out the light this all ends tonight
I can’t go on living this life
I’m a hollow shell, dwelling in Hell
This is the ending I have compelled
Lost in the void, long for the voice
Beckoning me to silence the noise
I want to erase, I want to replace
I long for death’s soothing embrace
I don’t
Exist
I’m one
With the abyss
Breathing
Feeding
Screaming
This Darkness
Mindless
Hollow
Feelings
Trapt within
Praying
Pleading
Begging
This won’t persist
Snuff out the light this all ends tonight
I can’t go on living this life
I’m a hollow shell, dwelling in Hell
This is the ending I have compelled
Lost in the void, Long for the voice
Beckoning me to silence the noise
I want to erase, I want to replace
I long for death’s soothing embrace
Kill Me
Save Me

The Eyes of Andromeda
04:20

|
In her eyes, beauty personified
Perfection in the mortal form
Daughter of the pantheon
The calm before the storm
Her beauty offending the sirens
Who cry out for revenge
Begging of the god Poseidon
To bring her to her death
His Decree, so she shall be
A sacrifice to his beast
Or else the land, will be damned
For the sake of their vanity
Dragged to the stone
Left to die alone
The beast emerges
To swallow her whole
But from the sky
Drawn in by her eyes
A hero comes forth
To give her his life
The hero stands his ground
On the stone against the beast
The seas crashing around
As it moves in for its feast
With wings and blade, He grins in its face
His valor cannot be swayed
The serpent drawing near, marking its prey
A battle amongst the waves
The water runs red with each strike
As the hero fights for his life
Fighting through fatigue and pain
One final strike, the beast is slain
The hero is welcomed back to the land
Asked to take his maidens hand
Showered with wealth and pride
A Champion and his bride
Drawn in by the fear in her eyes
Saved from assured demise
Together the two take flight
As they set off into the light

This vessel is a prison that I’m forced to endure
I loathe what I’m becoming, I find myself impure
My eyes focus on my skin, tainted by imperfection
I dwell in anxiety, staring at my reflection
As I gaze into the glass, the monster staring back
Tells me to alter myself until he fades to black
Its words echo within me, I can’t contain the urge
It’s time to strip my defects, my mural must emerge
I loathe what I’ve become
My senses have all gone numb
So with this blade
I paint a masterpiece
Like a Tapestry
Or a Symphony
With each drag of the blade
I conceal each mistake
With each painful stroke
I pen the next note
Harsh pleasure subsides and now i'm left with this
The abstract creation invoking my painful bliss
Now that my body has felt this sensation
Of self mutilation and pains ideation
The scarlet letter that I am now forced to wear
Permanent keepsake from dwelling in my despair
Staring blankly at my horrid reflection
Depreciation destroyed my perception
I must live with these scars
My Magnum Opus, My work of art
I Took the blade
Painted my masterpiece
Like a Tapestry
Or a Symphony
The strokes upon my flesh
Eloquent in practice
Now a painful reminder
Embedded in the Canvas
This vessel is a prison that I’m forced to endure
I loathe what I’m becoming, I find myself impure
My eyes focus on my skin, tainted by imperfection
I dwell in anxiety, staring at my reflection
As I gaze into the glass, the monster staring back
Tells me to alter myself until he fades to black
Its words echo within me, I can’t contain the urge
It’s time to strip my defects, my mural must emerge

Spectral Voices
05:22
|
|||
|
I emerge in your weakness
Drained from the ills of your life
Fodder for my inhibitions
I become a plague on your psych
You cant control me when youre weak
You know that I will take control
The voice that forever haunts
Without me you cannot be whole
I am your Doppelganger
I am the voice in your head
Telling you youre worthless
And that you're better off dead
If you let me take control
I swear that I can make you whole
The pain will cease as will the choices
If you give into the spectral voices
Why must I be denied
You're moving us towards your demise
I can see the emotions well
You're living in a constant Hell
Now that you concede to me
I will control your living being
Helpless to associate
Only watch as I change your fate
I will shape you to my vision
Creating a hopeless division
I was the voice within you
Now the specter you submit to
I am your Doppelganger
I am the voice in your head
Telling you your worthless
And that you're better off dead
If you let me take control
I swear that I can make you whole
The pain will cease as will the choices
If you give into the spectral voices

The Drakketh Saga
by DRAGONCORPSE
supported by 4 fans who also own “Arcane Horrors”
There have been few other bands which mixed death metal with power metal vocals, Gardenian for example. DRAGONCORPSE bring this melange almost to perfection, the songs are heavy, melodic, full of energy and the vocal variety makes the songs very dynamic and interesting. The opener "Sunlover" shows best how thrilling this metal crossover can be.

This is how you treat a bass in the mix. And the correct way technical brutality should sound like in general. This absolutely rips.
