Wooden Kimono Fixative
11:03

Like the hungry ghosts that haunt this rotten soil
Insatiable appetites for the impossible
Raped, defiled and plundered her abundance in spades
The detritus of a failed landscape remains
In the throes of an inherent annihilation
Atrabilious to the very marrow
Steadfast to displace a pagan past
Worshipping the Inorganic
Until the Skyscrapers mark our tombstones here
Mouldering away in shallow self tilled graves
Collective coffin culture hits that final nail
Skeletal lords of the debris never appeased
Bleed the stone in the name of unrivalled avarice
Like contagium it crawls through decaying urban sprawls
This death wish fixative, hum to the tune of our Requiem
Headfirst into a Draconian impasse
Perpetuate this war pandemic
Until the Skyscrapers mark our tombstones here
Witness our ways return to naught
Skies torn asunder as the oceans boil
Castrate her impotent
A century of petty theft has robbed our cradle bare
Until the skyscrapers mark our tombstones here

Embittered
10:01

Soured by the years of systematic denial
Embittered to the rotted core
Perils of the mirror bane conspires
A soul's deprivation disrobed
The very front that saves enslaves
Content to bathe in wretchedness
Self negligent to breaking points
Perpetuate the preferred state of duress
Delight in spiteful self resentment
Bear this crux of self disgust
Paint the four walls black, Let the eyes roll back
Adhere to the redux of mistrust
Paint the four walls black, Let the eyes roll back
Transmute moral weakness into some twisted symbol of merit
Defecation upon the hand that provides
Negating a way forward as if in self defence
Vulgar tongue undercuts the mouth that utters
Floundering in a paradoxical pretence
Thwarted by the blaze of your own self hatred
Seduced by the degradation trails
Seduced by the degradation trails
Resent life beyond the grave
Embittered to the core

Wretched souls intrinsically bound to the grindstone
complacency toils away
chain gangs on the ever expanding miserable topography
economic prisons rise in the blink of an eye
tethered one and all
paving the black rivers that lead to a collective decline
Failing the very thing that nurtures survival
As our levee breaks Disorder slips through the cracks
No hope to sustain when we've outgrown our home
No longer able to stave off a tipping point towards collapse
All our roads lead to perdition
Feeding the Sheeple a steady diet of compelling distractions
Paving the roads leading to new middle ages

A Lifelong Slumber
12:53
|
|||
|
To sleepwalk one thousand lifetimes and beyond
The stillborn catatonic and adrift, ill prepared to row
Never to reach the shores of dawn
Cataracts on swollen eyes, ever so wide shut
Aimless Societies of samsara
We comatose creatures dream as one
A Life long Slumber
Strangle the common ape with the hands of a clock
Each at a loss to move forward, frustrated, anxious and apart
Ever resentful of life's mistakes, The dull ache that seldom abates
Tear the source asunder
March en masse to the geographic arrhythmia
Simulacrum of a once abundant soil
This land sadness permeates the landscapes of failure
So slowly it has severed the tethers off
The door to our perceptions but barely ajar
with a lifestyle that invites extinction absolute
|

To pass through the eye of their needle and arrive at some gate of reward
To live at odds with the truth - blinkered, bound and gagged
To rest, work and play inside the barricades and facades
Forever under watchful eyes
Inside the straight and the narrow, ceremonies of opposites
No slim pickings for aggressors clothed as victims
To view the skewered through each filtered lens
and not sense the vultures amongst the plebes
To their very marrow, usurp all dissidence
lost to smoke and mirrors when the masters look like victims
To defeat the spirit, subsumed to the innermost
Our fatal flaw inherent, a weighted consequence
hegemony hammer home illusions of consent
dystopia ad nauseam aggressors clothed as victims

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

EXULANSIS - SEQUESTERED SYMPATHY
by EXULANSIS
supported by 234 fans who also own “Contagiuum and the Landscapes of Failure”
Sorrowful indeed. Utterly beautiful blackened doom metal with melody that draws out a cathartic release. Its works like these that have me believe what Schopenhauer said about music was true, that it speaks truth to what is at our most core.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.
