lyrics
Drawn towards, pull away.
Mass compressed, and escape.
Not knowing what the
threat has in store,
Don't ignore the warnings they gave.
It will try to tear us apart.
But in unity we are saved.
Ignorant and blind,
It threatens from afar.
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strangers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.
[CHORUS:]
Poised on the edge of your mindless plans,
Does the fear inside make the threat seem real.
Attractive, destructive, resist the gravitational force.
Appear as a lamb, revealed as a wolf,
Enticed by promises true and false,
Reactive, seductive,
Fate is simply running it's course.
Ignorant and blind, It threatens from afar.
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strangers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.
[Chorus]
Mass compressed, and escape.
Not knowing what the
threat has in store,
Don't ignore the warnings they gave.
It will try to tear us apart.
But in unity we are saved.
Ignorant and blind,
It threatens from afar.
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strangers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.
[CHORUS:]
Poised on the edge of your mindless plans,
Does the fear inside make the threat seem real.
Attractive, destructive, resist the gravitational force.
Appear as a lamb, revealed as a wolf,
Enticed by promises true and false,
Reactive, seductive,
Fate is simply running it's course.
Ignorant and blind, It threatens from afar.
No sense within it's mind,
It's seeking ways to justify.
And there's no cause to find.
It let's us know it's plans.
It's programmed to destroy.
It's torn apart with it's own hands.
Try to crush the seek that must grow.
Wishing on a strangers demise.
Thinking that you know all you know.
Encrypting the truth in it's lies.

Acclaimed Swedish quintet Burst return with their long-awaited new record Lazarus Bird. The follow-up to Origo is a tougher and more daring record.

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantationsupported by 13 fans who also own “Escape from the Black Hole”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
go to album -
Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 10 fans who also own “Escape from the Black Hole”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
