They amass and bring the wolves
That dredge though what the dogs leave behind
With certain means and a righteous grudge
They’ll bring back an era long gone
We ponder: They react
We wallow: They react
I fret and wash away
Hell in words, rage in deeds,
Their cruelty is without burden
The acts of cowards
The flags of traitors
Yet I am the one that makes us weak
I fret and wash away
I am the path beyond
Cleanse my minds of all doubt
Show them the strength of what I am not
Then tread on them and make them see
The coded sermons, the bigot choirs
Pacified, blameless, empty, weak
Wear them down
Cast them out
I will not reconcile
I know no love
I know no hate
Paint my face with contempt

Act as vandals with sore hearts
This is the reward for perfidy and cruelty
How we win our wars

Taken root, and I lash out at the soil
Ignore the ash
Yes, I proclaim, I am the path beyond
And this is the reward
It is mine, the glory
I am the salt, keeper of the ground
They know me for I am one of them
and they know the peace I bring
Poison tree, poison fruit
And I, enemy of the wretched cause
Worn down
Cast out
No painted face
Spite the right and wrong alike
Walk my path
Wearing the shape of a new god
Still the lion man remains
Scattered but fated to will it all to char
I stare at a blind abyss, tempted to take its tongue
Leave the fallout, the growth, the control
Wearing the shape of a new god
Solemn pride in ash
There is no reward

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

A Thorn, A Blight
by Dawn Ray'd
supported by 6 fans who also own “CONTEMPT”
At long last, I am into the somehwat more folky sound of Dawn Ray'd and now... I am full in! However, the reason why I stuck to them in the first place is their pull on political black metal for which I honor them a lot.
