Submissive

I think it is time to choose sides
in this mental carousel
How would you like to be?
As good, as bad or as stupid as me?
Where is your will, where is your wont,
when is the time to say don't?
Submissive
Submissive, subversive
I'd let you think if I thought you could,
But I'm as crammed up as you
Denied from yourself, denounced in itself
It's not by volition you say no
Could say no, could say go, could say no, could say…

The Electric Monk

The electric monk was on his own
He thought the world was his alone
He thought the sky was green,
the sun was black
and that there was one thing humans lacked,
which was his task in life
Hurt, I fucking hurt
Unfruitful dreaming
Fed up with belief
Man's habit to discard the abstract
unveils a fetish of grief
Free the memory
We're lost anyway
Free the memory on us all
Reclaiming our faith
Put your electric monks down
They're what you made
and after getting so afraid
No faith in yourself or in your friend
Rather mislay it 'til the end
It has run amok since then

The Prey And The Poacher
07:56

Nothing left to sing about
Nothing left to say
Nothing more to figure out
And no more games to play
One time I knew what was wrong
but that one time has gone
Should've known it all along
My name is just a simple word
Not likely to deter
as the thing you just have heard
You're the prey and I am the poacher
You're the prey and I am the poacher
You're insane and I'm the almoner for you
You're the prey and I am the poacher
Do I practice what I preach?
What's within range or out of reach?
For you I ransack heaven and hell
Destined to live to tell
Nightmares haunts me in deep
Trying to steal my sleep
but find before you keep
I could take any girl I meet
have bllod upon the sheets
and the world beneath my feet
I breed on your lack of faith
Strung out on infiltration
Sweep your minds like a wraith
I am the god of indoctrination
Nothing left to sing about
Nothing left to say
No need to scream and shout
Nowhere left to cause dismay
Ok, I know there is much more
More than ever before
Whole thing's rotten to the core
So sad, too tired to have a go
But I couldn't let it show
So I'll do it all tomorrow

The Preachers Gothenburg, Sweden
THE PREACHERS began as a revolt in 1996 towards what the members used to do before. From a moaning and grumpy industrial
metal/goth rock constellation from 1991 to an angry and uprising noise metal combo.

The latest from this one-man sludge metal project from Baltimore is discordant, spacious, and as heavy as a full group could ever be.
