Take your views on evolution
Take your views on death
None of it suits my constitution
Truth will never be on your side
(bridge)
I've got a reason to live
I've got a reason to die
Raining down hate on a foreign land
Sisters of bigotry reach for small hands
Enforcing your views on a helpless people
How dare you decree and decide?
bridge
(chorus)
Enslaved in your chains of hurt
Myopic, divisive and cruel
You must sense it's time to learn
Church of hate, we'll end your rule
Teachings bound up in sick constitution
Righteousness bleeding from a wound in your side
A picture of the future if we don't resist
I can't watch my people die
bridge
Evangelist with the golden handshakes
Don't think that my hate will subside
Levelling your fear-mongering from afar
Reason will be turning the tide

Democratic Demons

They came in the night
while we slept
lethal weapons drawn
our naked bodies unprepared
(chorus)
Tall, dark, hypocrites
Shadows against night
Democratic demons
Why do you force this action on me?
There is a child here
With her mother's corpse
Authority prevails
Over her with weapons drawn
Fear stalks all tonight
Brazen talk of violence
Fists preach peace and right
You teach that only your kind survives
chorus
Look up to their faces
Visage of such hatred
Permission to deny
Atrocities of the law
I did nothing wrong
We did nothing wrong
All were taken away
Why did you let this go on?
chorus
You and I will die,
You and I will die,
But not today

Doom

Tremors abound
Seismic shift is real
Look all around
Communications down
Believe in death
Feel the end
You will not live
The Earth awakens
Gaia's wrath is real
Look all around
Escape but not be saved
Forlorn future
Watch this now
You will not live
We're warning you
We bring you doom

Whispered Words

I wake up in the sand
I draw in a breath
The trickle of liquid around
The salty air fills my lungs
The bitter chill claws at me
Nature's hand on my neck
And what if I could see afar?
Would they listen and hear?
(chorus)
There is no world outside nature eternal
Nature's grip on mankind's deeds is fading
I stride the beaches in a daze
I have drawn in the sand
The images they come to me
The sea a tonic for my dreams
The wind is nature's whispered words
The mother's touch on my mind
And what if there would be an end?
Would they listen and hear?
chorus
I climb the hills in such haste
I try to find the strength to move
My skin is so dry from the wind
I spy a herd of beasts afar
Sheltered from the blasts of salty air
The words ringing in my ears
Now I know that there will be an end?
They won't listen or hear.
(They'll never know)
chorus
There is no end to the torture of our world
Mankind's grip on nature will end all

Anthro-Emptiness

Despicable hatred
Anthro-emptiness
Lifeless populace
Why do people exist?
(chorus)
Feel the burning embers of my world
Watch the ending of my love for you
Feel the burning embers of my world
I say mankind you will never do
Centuries passing
Cloaked in a mist
Deathly silences
I hate moments like this
chorus
A handful of dust falls
Lost in the wind
Dissipate the lost
Once more I clench my fist
chorus

Sleep Among The Dead
by Doomstress
A fantastic traditional doom album, with a sense of anger of and malice in the lyrics, Groovy in places, heavy in others!

Slick, bluesy riffs, crunchy sound and a real sense of groove. A superb stoner rock album with lyrics for the lonely.

Beautifully crafted sludge/doom from Virginia. Subtle shades of light and dark.
