lyrics

Serpent-staffed: accordingly,
A coward fleeing didst I be.
Grave consequence sprung from just action,
Be it though a brute reaction,
To the desert did I take:
That lonely place on which none gaze.
Whence I was harkened unto action:
"I am I"; "no more distraction".

Through this bush which calls to me -
And why should this oneness not be,
Of all things, a representative?
Whirling smoke now prime connective,
I am made one with my fate:
A sum of all mine conscious states.
And seeing the sum of mine failures,
Spurred am I to good, availed us.

I shall be,
Felled before the promised land art reached,
For of my needs and dreams:
I did not them feed.

Even these laws cast in stone,
May break apart; they art not sewn,
Into the fabric of the Lord:
'Universe' is its only law.

Even these laws cast in stone,
May break apart; they art not sewn,
Into the fabric of the Lord:
'Universe' is its only law,
So partake of the highest rites;
The Holiest act; the fullest of sights:
Love in life your path so carved,
Or commit not and pay with heart.

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 25 fans who also own “I, the Lawgiver”

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... Jordan Vauvert
