Misanthropy
Eternally
Humans make no sense to me
Sewn with selfish cruelty
Claiming to want unity
Creep towards the sun
With savage persistence
Human need, the shallow weeds
On the path of least resistance
Usurpers of Saturn
Murdered
Eaten
Why do we oppose war?
It was war that formed us in the dark that spawned us
Better to oppose the tide
For aeons
From its primal haunches
We slowly became humans
Unfeeling, unmoving
War waited for us
Conflict
Disparity
Emergence and death
The mute amoral engine driving all of human progress
Believe in others, call it love
Or logic, call it reason
None outrun the eyeless worm that lives to pass its genes on
The ripples of our time as prey
The prickle blood and darting eyes
That used to hope to never die
Now the need to quench desire
Usurpers of Saturn
Murdered
Eaten
The Price equation's ugly implication
That led its maker to despair before he pushed the blade
Into his wrists so save him
From the horror of creation
Where kindness is nothing but a simple calculation
As life endures, so war remains
To spend the lives that medicine saves
For those who will one day replace
War awaits
War administrates
Conflict
Disparity
Emergence and death
The mute amoral engine driving all of human progress
Do you actually believe
We don't measure your success?
That we don't take what you are and judge if we're worth more or less?
Man makes war
Economic horror
War makes man
Progress before honour
Believe in others, call it love
Or logic, call it reason
To war both are feeble, distant and unfeeling
None outrun the eyeless worm that lives to pass its genes on
Usurpers of Saturn
Murdered
Eaten
Devour your children or be superseded
Stare at the suffering
Deaf to the begging for help
They are not like you
Feel no guilt
You survive
Continue the climb
You always survive
Continue the climb
This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt. meeko
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
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
