Prayer Of Deliverance

Never again
A fortress built with bricks of hate
Their ruptured lives, tortured and caged
Thousands of corpses lay buried by your hand
The stench of this place coats them in despair
A barren, now desolate land
A sight that most will never understand
Innocents, immigrants
Sung a prayer of deliverance
You stole that from them
Bringing forth misery
And fulfilling their end
Son and daughter, sent to slaughter
Dead before their mother
Bathed in bloody water
Repenting for their punished father
Killed like cattle at your grasp
Through the law of sin
Into the flames you’re cast
Hero in your own mind
True intentions deep in disguise
Uproar birthed from hatred through fallacy
Death acting as a means of marketing
We will not forget the things you did
Leaving people to rot
Nothing left
Dead
Shackled torment, oh hell sent.
Where else could they go, with nowhere to escape
Their life reduced to a digit
No face and no name, stripped of humanity
In your cynical mind you think
Had the roles been reversed , you’d suffer the same fate
You’d wish to take back all your sin
If just for once you thought of being in their skin
One is only as strong as their surroundings
Your greed has darkened your essence
Why choose hate - and cast souls away
When you have the power to change their fate
Dehumanise, annihilate
Why is it your wish to inflict such pain
On these innocent souls you’ve already cast away
Immigrants, innocents
Needed a life of deliverance
You stole that from them
Son and daughter
Dying before their mother and father
Killed like cattle at your grasp
Through the law of sin
Into the flames you’re cast
Burn

Hate File

All of the hatred that I’ve built
It’s all been aimed at you
The bullshit you spat for far too long
Out comes the fucking truth
Everyday in our heads
Those words that never bend
You’re not our fucking friend
Corrupter, liar and deceiver
Well I guess you’re dead to me until the end
Dead to me, till the end!
The scheming snake’s morals stay the same
Another prophet left in disarray
Proving mercy’s given to those who’ll obey
Go fuck yourself
And your hypocrisy
As long as you’re in power
There’s no chance for love and peace
So give it up now because
You won’t get another chance
Your wooden puppet’s broken
And the youth won’t care to dance
Prepare the punishment you deserve
We’ll raise the stakes and
Put yourself in their shoes
Enjoy their suffering
Always
One to kick up a fuss
Your fame and fortune
Cruel and self aware
But the rotten tree has nothing left to bare
For the power you have gone astray, you rot
Everywhere you go, your herd will travel
Claim to borrow, steal and leave a trail of hate and sorrow
Nothing more than a parasite
Scum like yourself should be sentenced to eternal fire
Where’re you gonna go
When your bridges burn
When your allies turn
When your breath escapes
Will you take a stance?
Leave it all to chance?
The herd will disband
The ink will run out
And once the money ends, they’ll come for blood
Nothing more than handshakes and lies
Your fortune is concrete evidence of humanity’s filth
Your fake demeanour, your evil schemes, venomous toils
THIS IS MY HATE FILE

Guile

So let sleeping dogs lie
We had shut the file, closed the case
So why bring it back up and shove it in our fucking face
Does it bring you joy
Watching her struggle as you spew out deceit
Your vicious tentacles envelop her mind
I just can't wait to watch you bleed
Break your bones and make you live in your own filth
Force every molecule under your skin to be bent to my pitiless will
Because I know, only through tears of solitude will you be cursed with unwavering guilt
I've foreseen it and crave it, ache
This time you fucking bleed
Spineless
Your words are poison
So leave us be before you repent for your choices
Liar
Your time's expired
Watch no one weep as you become part of the pyre
ACHE
Watch no one weep as you become part of the fucking pyre
Curse your name
This hatred I cannot change
I reject empathy
To your lack of honour and shame
Her pain
An awaited debt of suffering
A debt I will gladly pay
To the propagator of our fucking plague
Bearing no contrition to your hands lifted in psychopathic impulse
become as rotten as you are within
nothing more than a charlatan
corruptor of our home
the sole bringer of our demise
for years... for years we've heard crafted myths of glory
fallacies of fortune brought by incessant toil
we now know - no truth will ever surface
I curse your guile
Ache

Antagonist

You’ve had your fun, now antagonist, you’ll atone
Never will I be what you want me to be
So forget the expectations you’ve set in your own misery
Hunt for defects - observe all is imperfect
And get that shit into your head
Look within and keep your flaws in check
Before coming for everybody else's neck
Cos I’m getting sick of it
So next time you come across a mirror, take a look at it
Hypocrisy at its finest
Make sure you come ready for war when waking sleeping giants
Is the picture now clearer, we are no longer children
Spouting fake bullshit like you were ever the fucking realest
Cos I could make you see how fast it’d be for me
To shove an ice pick in your brain - makeshift lobotomy
A new world in your mind
Join this ancient realm of
Restless souls, abandoned bones
Collapsed populations and barren thrones
A void crafted in your toils alone
Swig your poison from the source
Antagonist, now you atone
Consumed, not paid the price
Entombed but still alive
I've been replaced, now I wander alone
Lost in a sea of sticks and stones
Decayed, just by the sands of time
Erased, only in their mind
Defamed, by falsehoods spread
I will raise myself back from the dead
Thinking you buried me, arrogance has you mislead
Once out of this desert, I'm coming for your fucking head
Antagonist you best prepare
Consumed, not paid the price
Entombed but still alive
Unearthed, now gunning for the throne
Moribund, but steel makes up my bones
I’m sick of your rotten words lived in doubt
How dare you speak of what you know nothing about
You’re sick, lie in the pit you dig
I won’t let you be my antagonist so stick your head back in the sand and eat shit
I won’t let you be my antagonist
Not anymore

A Letter To Anguish
03:31
|

Am I the mistake
The equation can't be solved
Are all the troubles a product of my narcissistic toils?
Faking joy while aimlessly carving a path
Which numbingly stains the soil as the aftermath
Burn our bridge
Douse the ground
Find more ways to tear me down
For I was lost
And can't be found
I'm so far gone I hear no sounds
Of calling out
Or crying out
Tonight I stray further
From the only soul I've ever cared about
A sacrifice in form of
Another momentary distraction
Makes us seem so separate - again and again
And every interaction shatters, each moment breaking you and me
Our fragments sink again to drown in this toxic agony
When blood is sought after
And laughter seems to disappear
I'll be looking into the hourglass
Hoping you'll still call me your dear
Is this what freedom is
Finally letting go
Flown so far away
Just to lose touch with our home
Eye for an eye
Soul for soul
Further down the hill
The snowball rolls
Did I intend this mess
Or was it fate?
Has it been the worst mistake I have ever come to make?
Maybe it's true, I'm the only one in the wrong
Only you know the answer though I'm the one who tied your tongue
Only I could see it coming
The foreshadowing was true, I let myself slip away
For my insanity was due
It lurks and pries my every crooked crack
My mind contorts into a state of panic
Of ignorance, jealousy, rage ensued, forced onto me
A letter soaked in misery
From anguished times of constant tragedy
Self destruction lead by sympathy
To the agony in these words – I look back in shame

This path you carved
Holds no destiny
Trapped in emptiness
Consumed by ego, your soul still aches
GUILTLESS
Or so you claim to be
Trapped in emptiness, still you claim you're free
This path you carve holds no destiny
REMORSELESS
Consumed by ego, your soul still aches
Some day you'll find that the hurt within your heart
emerges from your pride
E assim com pele marcada nós conquistamos as
nossas almas,
mas a que ponto nós realmente vivemos? Sabendo
que nada sabemos...
Apenas que nossa vida juntos estará eternamente
marcada por pilhas de ossos...
Uma busca sem fim por algum calor dentro de ti
Each milestone a sigh of relief - not as sense of
accomplishment
But a reminder of waters past, a reminder of what
once was
A hollow promise of what the future holds, to carry
on through thick and thin
A reality marked by tooth and nail, our hell
An endless search for a warmth within, a reason to
look past the battered skin
The passage of time will decide whether or not this
grievance holds its reason
You chose your path and I chose mine
Never reconsidering the truth you sit in the corner
of your mind
You hold your own, guilt nowhere to be seen
The fruits of impulse will rot as they spring
The snare was set and I took the bait,
From the tumult hatred birthed within me
Self destruction lead by sympathy
To the agony in these words, I look back in shame -
don’t ever think I’ve got a reason to come back
again
GUILTLESS
Or so you claim to be
Trapped in emptiness, still you claim you're free
This path you carve holds no destiny
REMORSELESS
Consumed by ego, your soul still aches
The days go by and the hatred within your heart,
will end in your demise
Portuguese section translation:
And so with marked skin we conquer our souls,
But at what point are we really living, knowing that
we know nothing at all...
Only that our life together will forever be marked by
piles of bones...
An endless search for some warmth inside you

HARBINGER London, UK
Underpinning righteous fury with thick, groove-laden riffs, anthemic choruses and shredding guitar solos, Harbinger package high-minded concepts and techniques with primitive savagery and raw heaviness. Backed by big riffs, untamed heaviness and technicality, Harbinger are pushing the boundaries of modern metal, but with a lot of consideration and respect for the foundations and roots of the genre ... more

I am more a melodeath guy than deathcore, but I enjoy all the symphonic elements or rythym changes. This album is a BLAST omg my neck hurt, so much headbang🤘🤘

Pity that I could not find the deluxe edition with LoG's Laid to Rest. Nevertheless I wanted to add Elegy to my BC collection. It's unique as it is a delightful mix of symphony and deathcore. The vocals are just the perfect "5th element" that allows both styles to intertwine perfectly. Ben Duerr is the perfect vocalist for this role. The Elegy trilogy at the end is just the apotheose of death-gasm, it's a good trip down to memory lane as I've seen S.O.I. live last year!
