lyrics

Someone next to me just died
He's not the first of us to go
This war is turning into shit
We cannot win this and they know

I turn my head and I look down
See him staring at the sky
And then I realize that I'm
Standing next in line to die

I take his hand, wishing it was me
That this was over and I was free

I turn around and crawl away
Bullets flying overhead
I feel exchausted, need a rest
I stop and hide among the dead

Futility is sinking in
My entire life a waste
The ideals that I believed in
Are soon to be erased

I take their hands, wishing it was me
That this was over and I was free

I get back up again
And start to move away
An exercise in pointlessness
So instead I choose to stay
As I rest against a wall
I see an Englishman ahead
I thought that he would shoot me
But he sits down next to me instead

Despite what we have done
An act of kindness in our final hour
Surely more than we deserve
With our abuse of our country's power

He offers me a cigarette and looks down upon my vest
Very much to my surprise blood is running off my chest

I can't get back up again
I cannot move away
My wound is much too deep
So this is where I'll stay
As I rest against the wall
I take a breath and close my eyes
The brittish soldier takes my hand
I feel at peace it's time to die
It's time to die

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

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Call Of The North

As far as Viking atmosphere goes in metal, I doubt there is a better band than Havamal. Their name suits them. The album keeps boosting the euphoria and ends off with one of the best tracks on it. Never lets go. The only natural thing to do is to set it on LOOP and go through the adventure again. Obligatory gym playlist material. freefrofru
