lyrics

Orchard of pomegranates
The fruits are made of cyphers
A secret hidden deep
I’ve seen it all still none the wiser

Akiva stands before me
His heart and mind malformed
“Follow me or be like the others”
He said I have been warned

I would not stand against her
The bride’s distorted form
Her face, a swarm of tentacles
She is divine, we are but worms
But if this is divinity
If this is what fate concealed
I’d rather tear down every tree
Than give my soul and yield

Verse 2: Akiva’s eyes are like stones
Gray as the clouds of the night
He knows the answer, he whispered
Given to him by the monster in white

He will gather the faithful
And declare a war against Rome
He will find and anoint his Messiah
And all will die in this storm

C-part:
I tried to get Ben-Zuma to safety
Fooling Akiva that I’ve joined his cause
“Akiva is mad” babbled my friend
“And our death will be his applause”
We barely reached the town of Yavne
And I left him on the porch of a whore
“Aren’t you Ben-Abuya the wise?”
She asked, letting her words explore

“You are mistaken, Madam” I answered
And I gave her two silvers and left
“Must’ve been some other” I heard her voice carry
Hoping it is not too late

As I come to the garden of Yavne
Surrounded by Akiva’s lies

Toiling and tearing the roots of the garden
As I wait for the Sabbath to die

“Blasphemy!” carried the voice of the people
Stricken I now realize

The Bride of white will not take hold
In this world or the next
For the next world is a mere illusion
And this one is here to vex
This is the God who waits in heaven
This is the bible’s lie
I will meet her eventually,
At least I’ll live before I’ll die

Bleed the Future

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Pinnacle, Pt 4: Sod”

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

The Final Tyranny
by Demon King

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Pinnacle, Pt 4: Sod”

A crispy, perfectly blackened serving of melodic tech-death that always leaves me wanting more. Not sure I've ever just listened to this EP once. Great production, great riffs, and fantastic atmosphere throughout. If you ever wished Inferi would lean further into their tech/black inclinations, this is the band for you. Facepalming Panda

A Giant Bound to Fall
by ETERNAL STORM

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Pinnacle, Pt 4: Sod”

This album is a huge step up from their previous one, which is saying a lot because that one was really good. I fully believe that, with this release, Eternal Storm stands on the same level as the bands they're clearly inspired by. Kadin Wisniewski
