lyrics

LAMENT OF THE OLD GOD

Here in the skies above
With eternal love
I am watching you

As you scheme below
Under heaven's glow
As you build your Satan

Cheer and squeal 'neath your devil's wheel
But it will double deal
It will take you down
You courtly clowns
Round and round
It will take you down to your knees
By extreme and certain degrees
But it is not your destiny
NO!

In the end with it's crown upon your head
And all your gathered dead
You will come to me

Here in the sky you'll be saved
Here by my side you'll be saved

Why is it so
That you don't know that you seek me

How could it be that with your self-deceiving ways you have achieved this thing?
This automaton,
This automat
This automatic life?

Beyond a someone
Beyond a something
But beyond my planning?
NO!

'Cause in the end
With it's crown upon your head
And with all your gathered dead
You will come to me
To this sky above
And my eternal love
Beyond this new thing

Here in the sky you'll be saved
Here by my side you'll be saved

And so, the old god laments
For we have forsaken him in our thoughts
We hold now that his time has passed away
For we're immortal and we'll never have to die.

Excellent classic metal. Feels like it was literally picked from the mid-70's. Classic ©ough©ool

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music! Brett
