Green book

From the ancient desert and the oil pipes /
Rises a menace unholy and dark
long beards are marching through the hot night /
Smelling like sharks of innocent blood
Indoctrinated men who can’t even think /
Beheadings and flags and madness on screen
Unsmiling preachers of evil intentions /
Hoping for glory and lust ever after
Confused believers cannot justify /
Heated discussions the world can’t believe
reluctant leaders bankrupted old modes /
Ttrapped in agendas and rules of respect
All those crimes in the name of a god /
All this pain from the lines of a book
All this horror for the glory of whom? /
Inhuman fools of the east
A sense of global danger ungrasped yet by all /
The enemy within, they might live next door
gun trade and air raids, maps and front news
Unleashed hell for nothing / Our species overgrows

Sons of Terra

See the writing on the wall / First a statement, then I’ll fall
Feel the scent of blood on stone
If you’re thirsty, drink my tears / Let me touch your hidden fears
When you cry I’m the one that feels
In this graveyard lies your lust / Covered by cosmic dust
I touched it once…as an outcast
Resurrection far away / Melancholic shades of grey
Let me breath your essence, let me stay…
Come burn my tortured flesh / My sins I will confess
Then I will enter into your blue realm / Come punish my guilt
Down lies my broken shield / A martyr’s destiny I’ll now bear

Hollow mountain
03:26
|
|||
|
Brought back to life by secret spells / I broke my chains, escaped my veils
For a sacred fountain now I search / For youth and wisdom I emerge
Enemies fall in my way / Unbeaten in my war I’ll stay
A mountain proud beyond the flames / Guards the secrets no one tames
In the end of the horizon is hidden the fountain
Hollow mountain
An entire army of wounded souls / Now appears in distant crawls
Invincible I face now death / A minstrel with a serpent’s breath
My peace for you means bloody war / For what I lust I’m standing for
Hollow mountain of my dreams / Guards the fountain of my sins

The core / the void
04:10
|
|||
|
You felt the Wind /Madly runnin’ through the Elves
Risin’ above and below the Sea / Hidin’ in waiting deep in the Sand
You expected to be blinded by the Northern lights
Diffused by Expectancy / Diluted in Esteem
But the plans were altered / They were never really yours
Born out of Necessity and Forever Delayed
So sad to find out that / Black Fingers control your Soul
Mad eyes block your Vision / Instead of flying, pinned down on the Floor
So late to find out / That it all adds up
To the Core/the Church/the Void /The Core/the Church/the Void

Beyond the sea that separates / My tears from my dreams
Uncompromised I will now sail / Redemption’s close it seems
I’m seeking for a distant place / Free where I will stand
When I saw your golden ruins / My life I took in hand
A bright dimension as pretold /A shelter for the free
A land of truth and wisdom / An untamed land I see
Angry eyes staring at you /Undone crimes you confess
that departure’s a relief / A delicate caress
Tragically your lie dies / I’ m sailing to empty skies

The kiss
05:01
|

|
Father beat his daughter for stealing the Sun / Mother came to help and saw no one
Sister let me kiss you / Let me sing you this dirge,
Blind me with your Light / Wanna crawl at your feet
His Shade drank the Opium with expressionless face,
Florence was there, caught in the Maze,
The house is now haunted and reeking with Doom,
Scarecrow is lusting to hail the Moon
The corn was shining bright / Overburdened with light,
The Sun blazed ‘cross the Sky /The deed was undone / Air was so rancid
Like the locusts on trees / Flowers were red scarlet / Awaiting the Kiss
The road was so empty, limned with white paint,
Churches were burning, the Saints were so faint
The corn stretched for acres, the Serpent within,
In spite of the Seal the Sabbat begins…

Urban traitor
05:12
|
|||
|
Walking down in the path of madness / Bearing up the stain of sadness
Destiny of an entombed / To endless torture sadly doomed
Previous nightmares reappear / The signs of hope disappear
A painful journey lies in front / His inner self now he’ll haunt
Secret gardens filled with lust / Fragile dreams in the dust
For his eyes the sky is grey / In his cell he must stay
Seeking his lost paradise / Destiny threw the dice
For his journey he must leave / The untold message he received
Secret mindway for the few / Far away from the untrue
The urban traitor now lies stabbed / A train to nowhere he just grabbed
He died in a desert land / A final will holds at hand
Self abused, sadly ignored / Leaves forever lonely cold
An urban traitor’s dead
Upon his flesh he was fed

Mercury walk

|
I crossed your burning bleeding cities / Mutilated passions I surpassed
I marched upon my own grave / I served for years as a slave
I stared upon a wrong creation / My crucifix my alienation
Destiny of an entombed / To endless void sadly doomed
My darkest nightmares became real / My wounded soul you cannot heal
Pay your respects to a fallen brave / My stained soul you cannot save
The core of honesty is dead / No more tears to be shed
Your own breath a grey infection / Impossible my resurrection
Floating senseless I am dead / To another dimension I’m led
Upon my own flesh I’m fed / No signs of salvation

by October Burns Black
supported by 6 fans who also own “The Sentinel Diaries”
New wave of Gothic Rock at it's finest. This band has top level talent from well renowned acts involved so wasn't the least bit surprised upon hearing the opening track. If you miss late 80's to mid 90's gothic rock bands, I can't recommend this one enough.
