lyrics

Your Sadness is Vain

Dwellers of our nightmare
An endless night
As we are the evil dream they suffer

Dark and sunken
Eye sockets filled with tears
and soon with maggots

Bend like a tree to the winds
The wheel will turn
Until your roots are showing on the surface

Bared, but not uprooted
Nor spreadeagled on the torture table
Where pain is growing unbearable
Bodies are corpses
Already corpses

Let the night bleed away all pain
Until your veins are dry
Just cry and cry…

Entangled in our nightmare
An army of souls
Are living their death over and over again

Their long groaning
Has turned your soul upside down
But blindfolds on
You obey orders
In this war of nerves
If your eyes meet they won’t let you go
No, they won’t look away

Not until the night bleed away all pain
Until your veins are dry
You’ll hear the Earth crying

If grief can be a doorway to love
Then let us all weep for the world
We are so good at breaking apart
And love it back to wholeness again
Love it back to wholeness

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

For the first couple of tracks, I was like “Hey, it sounds just like Menace Ruine, but without the Angelic Process-ish part”. Then I checked on the web and… it’s actually the same vocalist. No wonder it’s that good. Fans of Subrosa might want to check that out, even if it’s not *that* similar. Alice M.
