lyrics

Unsteady footsteps in the hall
Tells a tale of what's to come
He hears his mother's voice
And someone new that she's brought home

In silence he closes the door
He hopes she thinks he is asleep
Or forgets he's even there at all
In his bed, hiding under the sheets

Tucking his head under his pillow
Desperately clamping his ears
Shutting out all the awful sounds
Yet another night spent in tears

When morning comes he has barely slept
But still he finds he wet his bed

A child but not, when the roles are reversed
HE lies and waits, SHE's late and HE fears the worst

Her own needs
Always first in line
Just a drink or two
And she'll feel just fine

When she sees him crying
There's a slight sense of guilt
But that is easily fixed,
Forgotten and killed

Unsteady footsteps in the hall
Tells a tale of what's to come
She hears her fathers voice
Shouting that he is home

But this time it is different
Her mother has had enough
With knife in hand she ends his life
The perpetual wheel of violence stops

Emptiness fills The Void

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
