lyrics

Slaves to the wage of redemption
Given the chance to destroy
Deployed in a course of collision
Colluding themselves to a fault

Gullible flock of the mindless
Barking their litany in form
Spineless pawns of libation
Yielding goblets of their own blood

"I am but a mirror
Of chaos and all it begets
I am the serpent; hellbent
On weaning you out of your clot"

The invisible dust of hatred
The ink that writes the plot
Encoding the seeds of disaster
Sowed in crops of naught

The unravelling dark perpetual
Where moral principles die
Untamed by existence
Where a miracle is to abide

To unravel is not to lose control
But to reclaim the steers of destiny
To refuse bearing the load
Of sacro sanctitude

To bridge the gap between
Delirium and lucidity
To unravel is to embody contempt
For an absent deity
To withdraw, to unchain
To blissfully scorn

Shrouded in bleakness
With bedlam as stitching
The moon is contained
In this solemn excision

The hatred, the pain
Restless oblivion
Inertia comes creeping

The all consuming comfort
Wreaks havoc upon the heart

Hollow spot in spirit and mind
Through which the needles seam
Unwavering threads conjoin the divide
Reality patches of dream

You can still hear them saying
To never break the chain
But you dared to look up

Inundation of shadows
That seep through the veil to raze
The remains of shame
At the stars you gazed

Counter-flowing the stream of illations
You used to graze
And regurgitate

The end of a talk that has never existed
The end of a talk that has never existed

Ψευδομένη
by Ὁπλίτης

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Unravelling”

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer

Candela
by Svdestada

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Unravelling”

Not very often one happens to stumble with a genuine piece of art, a pure piece of heart, a poem bled from the depths of the human soul. In "Candela" that's precisely what you will find, musicians torn from inside-out by the claws of life and put back together by the burning flares of hope. ¡Magnifico! elhater
