Pilgrimage

Nearing daylight's end
As the darkness falls
The blazing Winter sun
Burns...cold
Shadow moving faster
The wars had pushed them all
Beyond the outer walls
Paradise was lost
It was...over
Without mercy, it was done
The last rays from the West
Touch the Eastern skies
No promise...
But they light the way...(×2)
They light the way...back

A New King
05:19
|

|
Not long left in the race to the bottom
Big bad wolf moves in for the slaughter
Faithless yet blind
But not much longer
When all Hope dies a new king will come
Set snares but only trap yourself
The wolf runs wild, out for blood
We offer our throat to the hunter
As we circle and turn on each other
When all Hope dies a new king will come
Circle and turn
Circle and turn
Circle and turn
What before lies but an open grave?
We must finally face the murderous pack
If we must die let our blood not run in vain
Humble the Masters we defy
But we offer our throats up to the hunter
As we circle and turn on each other

Medico Della Peste
04:05
|

|
Watch him glide thru the valleys
And the cities of the dead
Bringing with him the final word
Unearthly gaze, he is God's own
He will listen then he will let you fall
The harbinger
Heralding the plague
While the rats still breed
Blood letting, pressure release
Black Death, rot from the inside out
He is a doctor with a healing hand
He can push the Palace gates open for you
The harbinger
Heralding the plague
While the wounds still bleed
Grotesque avian horror creeps the land
Miasmaic corruption, aromatic self defense
Chase rotten air, old beliefs still stand
Vermin filth at your feet deliver the disease
Medico della peste!
While the rats still breed

In Defiance
06:44
|
|||
|
The lives that fell along the way
Left broken in defiance
The warnings they would heed
Avoid their own demise
Catch a Devil by the tail
Get dragged into the Night
In defiance
Defiance, together they ride
In silence
In defiance, together they ride
Some left searching for a door
To escape the killing
While others swing the axe at everything
...to alleviate the strain
Swing the axe at everything to ease
...the strain of hanging on
In defiance
Defiance, together they ride
In silence they ride
Behind moments of false empathy
Liars in wait always descend
Tortured innocence repaid in kind
The sharpest Blade always unkind
In an endless dying dream
Left desperate by the years
Now standing here before me
...you tell me about fear
...and how to seek the light
...how regret can kill the day
...how hate can turn a heart black
...and sorrow into rage
I turn away
The code is broken and I'm going blind
One small world in decline

The Dead Hand
05:10
|
|||
|
The icy cold stare of a spiteful lover
Codependent hearts beat slow
Words fall like bombs from sneering lips
Mutually assured , leaving bloody prints
Working on extinction
A final command from the dead hand
The time draws near
The scent of fear and revenge
The oppressive touch of deceit
Trip wires usurp control
Amoral device
Religion as a weapon of mass destruction
Filling graves, Faith becomes fatal
Evolution and expire, the nature of species
Grievous angels that keep on taking
The wings of genocide
Under command of the dead hand
The time draws near
The scent of fear and revenge
The oppressive touch of deceit
Trip wires usurp control
Mechanism of doom, the dead hand
The coldest war yet, paranoid corruption
When midnight strikes the Meek inherit nothing

Depth Charge
03:47
|
|||
|
With the final piece locked in place
Set the controls, secure the tomb
Fading shore holds no more meaning
Within the deep, the black from the blue
Within the deep, aquatic distortion
Accept and contain what the data foretold of you
Without heat circuitry is failing
Corrosion sets in, sealing the tomb
Drop like a stone, a different demetia
Within the deep, the black from the blue
The last words spoken
Will go unheard
End transmission

Under Threatening Skies
06:08
|

Under threatening skies
A vile propaganda machine grinds
A war campaign of mind control, and ritual abuse
Fed the media whitewash
Slaves of the Monarch rise
Mescaline, lsd, dominion of the whore
Prey with sexual blackmail
Fund with fear and lies
Revel in a Midnight Climax
The Watchers, they are watching you
Surveillance in a police state, Masonic charity
Create the alter ego
Let loose as snakes on society
Writhing in the blood, of the Occult
...and of those deceived
Lawless neuroscience
Violent pschosexuality
Under threatening skies
A vile propaganda machine grinds
In search of truth, commit your own to the insanity
To touch the face of God, you must fall
You must fall onto your knees
Tear us down, make us whole, with lust and purpose
...Ascend
One by one, they climb the walls, Jacob's Ladder
...Ascend
Let The Devil guide your hand

Wastelands
05:44
|
|||
|
Stare at the Sun, the dancing fire
Understand how the burning air moves
The rhythm of dying flames
And dreams in shadow
It's a fire you always feed
Until it burns you down
Reduced to ash, Burn
I know every inch of this land
It lets me see right thru all of you
In the embers I search for her
Before this place goes black
No salvation within the ruins
Of a burning heart
Dust and bones
In the wastelands
You can wait your whole life for a spark
(For) an angel to appear from the flame
To soothe the savage, a life of loss
To take away the pain
Watch him now set himself on fire
He understands how the burning air moves
The rhythm of the never was...
Of broken thoughts and darkness
It's a fire he always feeds
Until it burns him down
No salvation, just ruins
In the wastelands

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONE
supported by 20 fans who also own “Pilgrimage”
This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL.
