Underexposure

The sun will be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood,
before the great and glorious day of the Lord come.
In the absence of God,
we stripped ourselves of daylight,
but when the sun is to be blackened,
all will be revealed beneath it.
Confessions will bleed
from every tongue,
and every knee
will press against the ground.
The Son of Man is coming.

Uprooted From Brimstone

I’m gonna make it known;
the putrid waste that you’ve sown
into the earth, into its fields.
Against the truth, you’ll have no shield to
cover your actions or conceal
the dross you spit up; It will be fully revealed
for the vanity it really is;
just hollow words from lying lips.
We let you into our homes
and you made us forget where home is.
We let you into our homes
and you made us forget what home is.
Homesick.
Homesick.
I’m sick.
I’m so sick...
of the so called home you built,
and everything you’ve planted in our midst.
We’ve dug our way past it, we’ve dug our way home,
past every lie and all false hope.
We’re gonna make it known;
all the evil that you’ve provoked.
Our ears are shut, our backs are turned.
Our former lives have been overturned.
Son of satan, misteaching your kids how to love; I hate it.
You will be burned as you’re exposed to the light, like
weeds thrown into the fire, always burning.
All that you’ve planted will wither in the sunlight.
The truth you suppressed will be dug out from the dirt,
and as it is magnified, you will be buried
in its place, alongside
your wasted life’s work.
We let you into our homes.
We let you into our homes.
Pull the weeds,
unearth the brimstone
uproot the seeds
of worldly wisdom.
Your fortunes are told
for the fortunes of gold
and all that had to be sold
was your own very soul.
The wealth of heaven
you refuse to know.
You traded it all
for the depths of sheol.
These words will burn like pesticide to your pestilence.
Homesick.
Homesick.

Something’s in the air;
it comes every year
as my soul rots away.
Inside here I’ll stay.
I’m gonna use
what was given to me to expose the truth.
I’m gonna do
whatever it takes to make it clear to you.
I’m gonna use
what was given to me to expose the truth.
I’m gonna do
whatever it takes to get it through to you.
Stuck inside,
secluded in my mind, isolated,
exiled inside.
It’s cold out there, I’ll stay in here.
Starting to lose my mind.
Up all night, no daylight.
I’m dead inside.
It’s cold out there where they live.
Dead inside, up all night, no daylight.
Something’s in the air;
it comes every year,
as my soul rots away.
My mind so cold, this winter pain.
Staring into my mirror,
witnessing a new hidden world of evil.
This is not a metaphor.
Familiar spirits around me at the time,
praying to demons,
I could feel them.
Opened the door to an unknown force from an untested source.
God, what are these beings?
Are they from you?
I’m gonna use
what was given to me to expose the truth.
I’m gonna do
whatever it takes to make it clear to you.
I’m gonna use
what was given to me to expose the truth.
I’m gonna do
whatever it takes to get it through to you.
Focus the lens
and get a clear image;
is it a negative?
Make a positive of what you’ve been given.
Developed in a darkroom.
Focus the lens
and get a clear image;
is it a negative?
Make a positive of what you’ve been given.
Developed in a darkroom.
Pull me from the depths of my darkness
and use it all for You.
All for You.
Evil smiling at me.
A beautiful dream, it seems.
A comforting religion.
Satan behind the scenes.
Developed in a darkroom,
God revealed the truth to me.
We are born with His voice in our hearts,
but it’s our choice to let it it sing.
I was spiritually sick, but He helped me to see
that the beings I trusted were my enemies.
The fallen angels will continue to seek.
Test the spirits, do not be deceived.
In these last days, we must stand to be free.
Stand to be free.

The Sound Of A War
04:11
|
|||
|
Why do we need this?
Why did it start?
Were our heroes under attack?
Did we try to listen?
Since the beginning of time,
they were used to influence our minds.
I’ve seen the devil in these shows.
He’s attracted to these walls we’re in.
He fills the room, it reeks.
Birthed from evil, but now the tables have been turned on him.
They were beautiful, but they couldn’t speak.
We made them our idols, but they were so weak.
With music comes spiritual warfare;
there are two sides;
from the Spirit, or from our wicked minds.
From the beginning, the music that changed our lives was full of lies.
This is the soundtrack to the end times.
In the end,
you’ll have already chosen your side.
Stand with the world or stand with Christ.
Why do we need this?
Why did it start?
Were our heroes under attack?
Did we try to listen?
Since our inception, hell has attempted to pervert His inventions
With music comes spiritual warfare;
there are two sides;
from the Spirit, or from our wicked minds.
You are completely aware, you know this, you know who you are.
We both know who’s gonna win this war.
Stand with Christ
In the end,
you’ll have already chosen your side.
This is the sound of a war.
You can’t change time. Make up your mind.
The sound of a war.

Crooked Reality
03:56
|
|||
|
In sewers we live,
so comfortable in filth;
what we have raised you in;
our beautiful illusion.
So get used to this;
it’s so lovely being sick
when you’re taught your only goal should be to get rich.
This is how we live.
Do you feel abandoned?
Well we all abandoned ourselves.
Is this our home?
Do you feel alone?
In sewers we live.
Is this our home?
Where is our hope?
I’m here to destroy the illusion we’ve been living in.
Break free from your crooked reality.
Break free, break free
from your crooked reality.
The spirit behind the flesh, I can see.
I wasn’t born the man that God has made me.
The dark rulers, the creators of society
have made us prisoners to our own bodies.
Sold as products, trying to make us slaves to the enemy.
A freemasonic one world country.
We find comfort in something so ugly.
Feelings of resentment towards our Father take over,
so we pretend that we don’t believe in Him.
You feel like He abandoned you,
left you on the earth,
but we chose to reject His plan for us.
This is what happens when man tries to raise himself.
I pray your eyes will see, and your ears will hear.
We are born with the knowledge of the spiritual reality.
Break free from the rest of humanity.
Break free,
break free,
break free,
break free
from your crooked perspective of reality.

Orange Mathematics
by Frontierer
supported by 8 fans who also own “No Daylight”
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williams
supported by 6 fans who also own “No Daylight”
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years.
