Track Name: Akumajo (Blood): Into the night - taking your life
Cadences of my lament, dragged by a chain of moral dissent
Digging myself out of the grave, I will not rest ‘til your debt is paid
Power that comes with strings, clear now what it all means
Your debt is paid in blood, this war reborn in blood
My claim, my rage, my blood
Cursed in life, so death is a must
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
-
Violent inheritance, bathed in red
Carry the name, walk with the dead
Fear not the end, your rival is torn
Your only friend at the end of a sword
-
Every scar... a symbol of purpose, skin that shimmers like gold
Justice pours the nectar of totality into souls wistfully unaware
Track Name: Antivenom: Nowhere to run - Antivenom
Twisting your way in and out of my life
Leaving your mark with a venomous bite
Shaming me and now you’re gone as quick as you came
Once a friend, now a scapegoat for you to cope with your pain
Turn your back and walk away, sink your teeth into my veins
-
Betrayed by a snake, quick to judge but you hide your face
Contradicting everything you say, only you to blame for your fall from grace
Is this what it comes to? Why does it have to be me against you?
This fever boils my blood, there’s no telling what I might do
Track Name: Interference: Incoming static, signals of panic, answers distorted by noise
Surrending for a safe place to rest, is this all I can expect?
Loss of connection, message corrupted
A moment of clarity, interrupted... Interference in my life
Overload and I crash
-
I see the violence on the screens, I see faces just like me... Afraid to be the next headline that they read
Track Name: Demon: Who is this demon inside of me?
End my life, set me free
Spiraling... You lied to me
All this pain you said I’d never feel
Disbelief... Only I know it’s real
-
A demon I have not killed... A demon I have become
Track Name: Sensory Link To Pain: Wire trips, frozen still
Confronted by memories against my will
Relapsed again, is it fault of my own?
Chaos pervaded what progress had sewn
Abuse disguised as discipline, you try to hide the truth
Doused in the fuel, words that you use
Reminded of fire by familiar fumes
-
I can’t dictate the path it takes
The inevitable escape
Falling further into rage
Sensory link to pain
-
Flayed to the bone, cemented into this prison
I feel like a victim again
-
Cursed word, like a bloodstain
Made to feel like I’m insane
A bomb explodes inside my brain
Sensory link to pain
-
Forced to relive it again and again
My trauma knows no end
Track Name: Bu Zhi Chun: Waiting as the receptive Earth, I refuse to force my desires
Knowing that when the time is right, I will see the sun
-
Cursed - Fog surrounds my destiny
Thought - Is this life right for me?
Killed - Test of my patience, haunting my mind
Lost - In the passing of time I wait for a new life
Biding my time, behind these walls
Kept awake by the horror of it all
Never knowing spring... Never knowing home
Seasons change and still I stand alone
-
Applied force to my will, so it must be
Power laid dormant before, now you will see
Never knowing spring... Never knowing home
Deny all the lies of flesh and bone

-
Awaiting my rebirth, resting in purgatory
Awake, shine light on my fate
Betrayed by mankind
I live to deny all their lies
Track Name: Persona: Am I neither here nor there?
An idea still beyond my reach...
Under the veil of what you see
Is there a reason to believe?
-
Searching desperately for love
To give meaning to your soul
How many of us are...
too scared to be alone?
Track Name: Ecstatic Agony: Catch and release, the cure remains unseen
Recovery... Only a myth
Ecstatic agony will always visit
Track Name: Immutable Law: Shifting state of being, step forward unyielding
I refuse to live in fear of those who live to hate
Death comes quick if you sit and wait
-
Manifest a world of thought, you must live with the law
-
Fighting change, your greatest flaw
Drowning in ego, precious time you bleed
You think you can control everything
-
Abide by the river of life
Afford yourself a chance to breathe
Flow with the change it brings
-
Flow as the river and you may breathe
Fighting your fate... Drown in defeat

Nightmare Logic
by Power Trip

supported by 36 fans who also own “Dirge Of Escapism”

Another groove heavy metal band from Dallas, Texas, what's not to love. Sure the Pantera groove is here, but a heavy dose of hardcore/crossover is added to the mix. I dare you to sit still through Executioner's Tax. Awesome 80s influenced thrash. Kevin

TRANS DAY OF REVENGE
by G.L.O.S.S.

Punk, pure and simple. Attitude, ethics, social critique, D.I.Y., D-beats, grinding bass, spiky guitars and a voice more powerful than Poly Styrene, all in less than 7 minutes. deluded_marxist

Heartless
by Pallbearer

supported by 17 fans who also own “Dirge Of Escapism”

"Heartless" is an awesome album, which reminds a lot of early Fates Warning classics like "No Exit" without feeling like a copy, but more like a brother, who left walking into a different direction, but still showing his connection to the family. Glad I picked it up. Thumbs up! Holger Rudolph
