Στάθηκες μόνος
Σε πολιτείες ντροπής
Σε ερείπια γκρεμισμένα από σιωπή
Πληγωμένο αγρίμι
Στη χλαλοή των μίμων
Μόνος
Στα υπόγεια της μοίρας
Σε κελιά, σε στoιβαγμένα συρτάρια
Πληγωμένο αγρίμι
Στη γλυκιά ζάλη της μέθης
Κι οι φλόγες της οργής
Που χρόνια κουβαλούσες
Ξεψύχησαν σε στάχτες
...σε στάχτες
Κι η συνήθεια ανδρώθηκε κατάρα
Να πολιορκεί δίχως τέλος
Τα ερημοσκότεινα βάθη
Τα ερημοσκότεινα βάθη της ψυχής
Να αναλώνεσαι σε μέρες κατήφειας και νύχτες γυμνές
Σε μέρες κατήφειας και νύχτες γυμνές
Και η αυλαία νεκροσάβανο
θα πέσει με μανία καταιγίδας
Και η αυλαία νεκροσάβανο
θα πέσει με μανία καταιγίδας
σ' αυτό το θέατρο της λήθης
και θα σημάνει το τέλος της ελπίδας
FUNERAL PALL
You stood alone
In states of shame
Among ruins collapsed by silence
Wounded beast
Amid the mimic rout
Alone
Down at the basements of fate
In cells, stacked in drawers
Wounded beast
In the sweet trance of drunkenness
And the flames of wrath
that you carried for so many years
Died out in ashes
...in ashes
And the habit has grown into a curse
To besiege without end
the dark and desolate depths
the dark and desolate depths of the soul
To consume yourself in days of gloom and nights so void
In days of gloom and nights so void
And the curtain, a funeral pall
Will come down like storm
And the curtain, a funeral pall
Will come down like storm
In this theater of oblivion
and will sound the death of hope
Crust with strings is a heartfelt and honest pairing. And the opening track Awoken is such a beautiful track, I can't help but listen to it on repeat. Gemma
Aussie trio Burger Chef dish out a hearty helping of noise rock with a side of d-beat: messy, raw, and oh-so satisfying. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 20, 2022
This Australian group wraps D-beat in layers of psychedelic fuzz & squall for a howl from the depths of modern dystopia. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2018
On their ferocious self-titled debut, the Australian punks pit d-beat percussion against gnarled, metallic melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 3, 2024
Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
