So this journey has just began
A thorn in time appeared only meant to be undone
I was never meant to be
Never meant to thrive
Never meant to interact
Never meant to be alive
But I take this one chance just to breathe a while
A chance to feel someone's hand
A chance to make them smile
I will belong

A Thorn in Time
07:07
|

|
Here I am once more
Trying to live on this wicked world
And will you carry me there I ask for the
For this fucking place wasn't meant for me
And here I am swearing I could love you
I wanna go again but I'm afraid
Afraid to try
For these bitter eyes never learned to cry
Afraid to fail
For this rotten skin is stil young and frail
Afraid to have a chance
For this broken heart has never beat once
Afraid to begin
Cause I know the end it might bring
Once again I will try
To claim what was never meant to be mine
I rip this womb asunder, reach for the light
My lungs fill with air, my first breath of life
This time I will not fail, this time I find my place
I shall not back down, shall not be erased
And as I'm lifted from the ground, to see this glorious design
I scream out to the heavens
I'm alive
In time I want to be long
To someone, something, somewhere, somehow
I will belong in time

Exile
06:09
|
|||
|
Now that you're here
I must go
This chord that unites us
Is cut short
My child, live and be wild
My son, let go of my hand
My heart, we're torn apart
My soul, let me go
You'll never be alone
In this world
Anger Agony Silence Monotony
Mother don't leave me be
Stay here with me

Silence
05:52
|
|||
|
Silence sometimes is a must
A need for peace that will last
Like a friend you want
Like a friend you trust
A peaceful moment without peace
Why does this friend want me to suffer like this
Why am I still here with you
When you make me cry
Why am I still here with you
Who am I talking to
Ignorance and hate are to be my date
I just want to find a lake to freeze my booze
Quiet some are sleeping
While among us there's a fight beginning
Carefull, don't let me loose
Too many people, where are my friends
Is there no one that can save me from the silence
Will there no one prevent me
From just talking to myself
I'm so tired of those conversations
They go on and on
And when the darkness finds you beside you I'll remain
I will surround you and make you feel the pain
Cause I'm under your skin deep within what terrifies you
I am what's inside from which you hide what lays beside you
So now drink your booze while I am loose

Days and days
Hours and hours
Counting seconds away
No ups no downs
I need something to change
I'm feeling so enraged
Their voices are getting louder
My dreams they will devour
And it's always the same
And it's never gonna change
And it's always the same
And it makes me feel caged
This monotony
This isn't worth living for
This isn't worth the race
How can someone ever love in this world full of rage
This isn't what I came to find
This cannot be my life
Spending day after day when it doesn't feel right
And it's always the same
And it's never gonna change
And it's always the same
And it makes me feel caged
And it's always the same
till I can't take anymore
And it's always the same
Till I drop to the floor
This monotony
And it's always the same
till I can't take anymore
And it's always the same
Till I drop to the floor
Until I fall

Vicious Circle
06:11
|
|||
|
Well lately I just don't feel fine
There is something eating me up from inside
I just don't feel like I am here
I just don't feel like they care
And I wonder why
Have I done something wrong
I just wanted them to love me
I just wanna know why they don't
All I ever needed was to be needed
All I ever wanted was a kiss
All I ever asked was a hug
But the world won't even give me this
They leave me alone because they think I'm broken
I break because I'm alone
They ignore me before they know me
They think different is wrong
They don't want me I don't want them
They don't need me I don't need them
They don't love me and I just hate them
It's a vicious circle almost complete
All I ever needed was to be needed
All I ever wanted was a kiss
All I ever asked was a hug
But the world won't even give me this
Come and talk to me don't be afraid
I'm standing here I'm not a shade
Come and play with me I'm a kid
Break the circle before it's complete

Escape
04:51
|
|||
|
I will escape from this place
From my resistance
From who I am and what I was
From my existence
Now that I leave this mortal coil
Let it go back to the soil
Let it rot with the pain of this world
How dare I think I would belong
There's something within me deeply wrong
With what I've become
I haven't felt for so long
I am so numb
Am I dead or I am insane
Deeply insane
Nothing no more can cause me pain
I will escape from this place
From what I've become
From my resistance
I am so numb
For who I am
For my existence
I was always so wrong
I cannot find love
I cannot be alive
Cause I feel nothing at all
No fire can burn me no blizzard can freeze me
Or turn me to ice
No live to release me or hate to believe me
There's nothing inside
There's no one around and my faith's running out
As I'm eaving this place
I was always wrong there is nothing for me in this race

Last Sip of Life
06:37
|
|||
|
And now that all has come to pass
I take my place… back… in the stars…
All this world has given me I leave behind
What nourished what withered me
What I couldn't get out of my mind
And this body I leave as well
Proof of existence that I leave for myself
And when I thought it could never be real
When all hope was gone and my faith began to yield
Just to prove me wrong you came along
And though I'm tired I'm old I'm asking you
What took you so long
Just let me get some sip
From the life that drops from your lip
Just let me feel the warmth
From your body from which I belong
Let me feel the wind under my wings
Let me fly once more like I diid before
Let me cling to life for one last time
Let me taste it all just before I fall
Let it scar my brain to remind me why I came
And despite of it all I would come back for more
I just to take one last sip from the life that you give
When I look into your eyes
And for one last time I look up to the sky
And I sing before I die
I'm alive
I sing to the sky
I'm alive

Relative Swine
by Brethren Hogg
supported by 6 fans who also own “Orpheus 3361”
This album sounds like an unholy alliance between the darkest moments of Alice in Chains, the attitude of Metallica and the melodical approach of Death's masterpiece "Sound of Perseverance". It grooves hard and it it sounds badass. And if none of the above tick enough boxes for you, well then sit your own butt down, listen up, and let them know why you liked it, because you will. Great stuff!
