lyrics

The ruthless city
stands out above
with its squared outlines.

I feel the throbbing of the electric veins,
cold cables sprawl out
like a deft predator’s
cleverly woven web.

This city hurts me...

Behind the clouds of reminiscence
unbearable sorrows conceal themselves.
Images of long ago continue to appear,
and sharp broken bones dwell in my heart.

Oceans of people
flow over me,
every person
is a frozen wave
that beats down on me.

Memories flooding over me…

Disfigured faces
suddenly going
for a poor man,
like starving hyenas
butchering and ripping out
pieces of flesh from their prey.

Mouths and eyes covered in blood.
They feed on their same species,
finally leaving a ravaged and torn body.

Oceans of people overflow.

A wave taking you by surprise
with its dull stroke.
It sweeps you away
where your feet don’t touch
the bottom.

As if underwater I hear
only confused and hollow sounds,
I can’t breath, my bones freeze,
while thousands of hands grab me
dragging me towards the bottom.

While thousands of hands want to grab me
dragging me towards the bottom.
Dragging me towards
the bottom.

How can I live
with my inner instincts
and my wickedness?

I see them in
other people, and through them
I see now
mine.

Behind the clouds of reminiscence
unbearable sorrows conceal themselves.
Images of long ago continue to appear,
and sharp broken bones dwell in my heart.

Oceans of people flow over me,
Every person is a frozen wave
That beats down on

me.

I was extremely hyperfixated on this album a couple years back. not as much as me with Long Season by Fishmans rn but it was a big obsession. listening to it again, it's still just as good now I love it so much omg honourable mentions: keeping stone water awake, known, unturning. katsumashi

Kingcrow propose ici un métal progressif qui navigue élégamment entre « métal » et « progressif », avec des incursions vers la pop contemporaine – celle qui ne fait pas honte quand on l’écoute. Ce n’est pas forcément très brutal, ni très complexe, mais ça joue avec élégance de l’alchimie entre les deux styles. Stéphane Gallay
