Sun rests on vultures in flight
Dark shadows cast down blocking all light
Anywhere they go every time they see
Footsteps followed by misery
Kicked to the curb by those they loved
Thrown in the dirt they saw above
You can't escape their sense
You can't avoid their flensing
Cant evade their glowing black eyes
The hive assembled preys on broken lives
Gusts blowing you down to your back
You flee but your movement they track
Avoid their vicious wrath
They'll tear through your soul and feed on its corpse
Your skin chewed to the bone
Putrid stomachs eat remorse
There's no hiding from bleak eyes
In fear you will run from their close strides
Dwelling
They hover for right time to strike
Dwelling
When you're down they'll pierce you like spike
Lurking
These vultures are ready to attack
Striking
Eating at your void; eating everything you lack
They're here
They smell your sweat they taste your fear
Heavy wings flapping fill your ears
Blood on beaks sharp as shears
Black feathers surround your body
Bystanders ignore the beasts
They're here
They smell your sweat they taste your fear
They prowl these streets they own this town
Seeking out the weak then they dive down
Your preferences are shit you should be ashamed
The vultures ensure you're to be maimed
Winged demons relay strife
A victim of birth they plagued my life
How can I avoid these demons?
They don't understand your views they see black and white
your life triggers them burning at their soldered minds
Your life triggers them
Fuck their frail judgements
Before this album I'd only ever really listened to Lament and Dead Horse X; I've never been -that- familiar with touche amore but this blasted them from being a band I enjoyed on occasion to an absolute favorite, one I feel connected with personally, intimately. I feel understood which is a rare experience. sleepy_foxie
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2020
