lyrics
The earth shifts beneath these heels as I wade through pain
Slowing this heartbeat as to not attract the flies again
I’m leaking the lust
For which I crave
The twisted hope
To populate another grave
The desert glare blisters this hide as I wade through dissidence
Slowing this heartbeat as to rest for now
And lay upon what once was sand
I learned so well from a man who knew nothing
From a bastard saint who’d hide behind the lines
And wants his son to stand tall
And watch as his father falls
Slowing this heartbeat as to not attract the flies again
I’m leaking the lust
For which I crave
The twisted hope
To populate another grave
The desert glare blisters this hide as I wade through dissidence
Slowing this heartbeat as to rest for now
And lay upon what once was sand
I learned so well from a man who knew nothing
From a bastard saint who’d hide behind the lines
And wants his son to stand tall
And watch as his father falls

End of the Line
by Against Evilsupported by 6 fans who also own “Once Was Glass”
Indian band unleashes "epic" power metal, or trad heavy metal, in their sophomore full-length album, after a live one and an EP. It's not mind-blowing, but it is nevertheless a lot of fun to listen to. Sounding a bit like old-school underrated thrashy outfits, maybe like Jag Panzer and the like, they deliver groovy headbangers, but they tend to be a bit too "mechanical", following the protocol for a successful recipe they used before. Not utterly innovative, but a lot of FUN!!
