lyrics

I opened the chasm of time
Daring to stare into the past
Relics forsaken that none dare to find
The thawing of truth came to pass

Melting like candles in furnace
Malformed to a semblance of life
Brotherly hatred in the garden of Eden
The only purity that cuts like a knife

Generations of exile in Europe
Thousands of years without home
Finally given a fraction of hope
Phrasing the end of our tome

Return to the days when Canaan was conquered
Return to Abner’s last words
Rome and Bar Kochva, Greece and the Maccabees
We have always chosen the sword

Bow to the sword
For it offers salvation
Death is its own reward
And we are the indication

Poisonous stories of sinners and saints
Drawing a picture ideal
The biblical bribery paint ridiculous hate
The chosen people surreal

Be it the anger that thinks we are pure
Be it the land stained with blood
Fighting for lies told eons ago
Legacy of daggers and Scuds

Every Century passing I could find yet another atrocity

Like the binding of Isaac
And the burning bush call
Like seeking refuge
Behind Messada’s Walls
If Kahane was right
If Baruch Goldstein’s a saint
Then we have long been ignoring
The thin line in the sand

Kill or be killed

Bleed the Future
by Archspire

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Sword Devours”

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 Sword Devours”

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 Sword Devours”

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
