blood moon ascends in night
as the cosmic eye
free of the chains
that define our lives
it cuts through flesh and bone
into the glow of souls
gazing far and wide
devoid of hope
you cut me open
but i won’t let you find
what’s under the surface
entombed in my mind
beneath the surface
it’s grim to see
oh it echoes
then disappears
unblinking eye in the shadows
abets the world its weary lies
enthroned beside the dimming light
speak what’s left unspoken
the time is near
blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls
blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls
the mind was a hall that towered high
and on the throne was the child inside
and on my side, enthroned beside
the shadows divine held all the world
and the glimmering life
in mind was a time when all was right
mind was in mind
blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls
blood moon ascends in the night
cosmic unblinking eye
gazing through flesh and bone
into the glow of our souls
cut me open
it’s grim to see
beneath the surface, etched in fear
the day has spoken
how dare you speak her name
to consecrate the broken
carry weary worlds
the day has broken
a stain, a crime
you, serpent
deicide
the day has broken
a stain, a crime
you, serpent
deicide

Viscera of Men
05:29
|
|||
|
invidious judgements move towards an end
scatter and splatter, the viscera of men
this circle of fire is life on a wire
a culling of hatred, again and again
bleed until the silence
cast them to the void
to flee the fight is violence
their misery is joy
free, to flee
in surrender
inside, inside
you were inclined
bleed until the silence
cast them to the void
to flee the fight is violence
their misery is joy
inside you, never felt enough pain
but you were inclined to wonder
inside you a war was building, in time
bleed until the silence
cast them to the void
to flee the fight is violence
their misery is joy
bleed until the silence
cast them to the void
to flee the fight is violence
their misery is joy
bleed until there is silence
bleed until there is silence

Coil
06:08
|
|||
|
venomously
winding and weaving
blood and ivory
obscure belief
a hidden hunger
writhing and seething
basking in the warmth
of love unseen
it’s like
a serpent coiled inside
it’s like
the sun shone on serpent’s lies
and it’s like this life
this life
it’s like a serpent
coiled inside me
sign of the sacred song
slithering sweetly
odd with intention
this coil furls on and on
slither with odd intentions
this coil furls on and on
the sacred song
venomously
winding and weaving
blood and ivory
obscure belief
a hidden hunger
writhing and seething
basking in the warmth
of love unseen
it’s like
a serpent coiled inside
it’s like
the sun shone on serpent’s lies
and it’s like
this life, this life
it’s like a serpent
coiled inside me
sign of the sacred song
slithering sweetly
odd with intention
this coil furls on and on
sign of the sacred song
this coil furls on and on
sign of the sacred song
this coil furls on and on
basking in the warmth
of love unseen
this coil furls on and on

Flower Moon
04:38

flower moon
hanging like a curse
puncturing the dark
wilting in reverse
join you in the sky
seize you eye to eye
won’t you stay in bloom?
oh, flower moon
flower moon
tangled in the trees
shining through
wilting in the leaves
join you in the sky
seize you eye to eye
won’t you stay in bloom?
oh, flower moon

Tongues Playing Dead

no breath
just blinding fog
no step
just grinding slog
tongues in our mouths
playing dead
let em rot
out of our heads
no breath
just blinding fog
no step
just grinding slog
tongues playing dead
no wheel
just broken cogs
no meal
just beaten dogs
tongues in our mouths
playing dead
let em rot
out of our heads
tongues in our mouths
playing dead
let em rot
out of our heads
we go silent
so, so silent, we go silent
it’s so quiet
so, so quiet, it’s so quiet
we go silent
so, so silent, we go silent
playing dead, playing dead
it’s so quiet
so, so quiet, it’s so quiet
playing dead, playing dead
tongues playing dead
tongues in our mouths
playing dead
let em rot
out of our heads
tongues in our mouths
playing dead
let em rot
out of our heads
let em rot out our heads
tongues playing dead
let em rot out of our heads
tongues playing dead

Lord of Liars
03:21
|

|
you said it’s not that you know it
you said it’s all hysteria
you said it’s not true knowledge
you said it’s not that you know you’re wrong
spiteful destroyer
lord of the liars
cower to cowards
ice age is coming
it’s only salt inside you
you know it’s only cauterized
you know it’s slowly dying
you know you know it’s dying
spiteful destroyer
lord of the liars
cower to cowards
ice age is coming
goodbye liars
goodbye cowards
goodbye liars
goodbye cowards
go...
we sat in sudden silence
we sat beneath your watching eye
you know we’ve not forgotten
you know you were unbound

Failure Forever
04:02
|
|||
|
pounds of flesh and pints of blood
just won't ever be enough
to break our stare into the sun
and show us all how to love
between you and me
shines a light of disbelief
tears of fear and seeds of doubt
we cannot reach beyond
to touch the face of fallen ones
discerning needs from their wants
between you and me
shines a light of disbelief
constant reminders
our failures last forever
as years fall, the fear takes root
growing...
constant reminders
our failures last forever
as years fall the fear takes root...

come to me
stand in witness
come to me
stand in witness
oh to see you
all the better
in joy or pain
i’ll stay by your side
come to me
hold on tight, baby
come to me
we are destructing
sing, destroy, to create
we sing to love
then we break
who are...
who are we?
who are...
who are we?
overcome, vanquished
she is calling my name
and i’m answering
baby, come
baby, come to me
take my hand
the scorpion’s sting
all the better
oh to see you
big eyes
calm the storm, inside
cause i’ll be right here by your side

Daimon
06:59
|
|||
|
bones clawed out of their bodies
failed mortal design
bones clawed out of their bodies
the slain of former times
in, grip
of daimon
wail, crept
from these fitful lungs
your children will answer
answer for your crimes
your children will answer
fate won’t be denied
in, grip
of daimon
wail, crept
from these fitful lungs
feigned, no longer wanted
counterfeit design
mourn your simulation
fate won’t be denied
won’t be denied
feigned, no longer wanted
counterfeit design
mourn your simulation
fate won’t be denied
won’t be denied
bones clawed out of their bodies
failed mortal design
bones clawed out of their bodies
the slain of former times
in, grip
of daimon
wail, crept
from these fitful lungs

Crimson Stone
06:47
|
|||
|
compass rose
pricking you
bleed a map of stars
battle wounds
blood we drew
busy making scars
mess with it
confess to it
fate already knows
tracing us
embracing us
where a flower grows
stand in the way and fate will simply go around
forces at play flipping worlds upside down
trembling souls shaken into piles of bone
blood running cold before it hardens into stone
dragging on
time and space
face the black mirror
moving hands
glacial pace
reflections nearer
ravaging
disparaging
fate will split the earth
falling in
this hole again
dying sense of worth
stand in the way
stand in the way and fate will simply go around
forces at play
forces at play flipping worlds upside down
trembling souls
trembling souls shaken into piles of bone
blood running cold
blood running cold before it hardens into stone
crimson stone
crimson stone
crimson stone
crimson stone
crimson stone
crimson stone
crimson stone
crimson stone

cast first light on
blood of the dawn
cast first light on
blood of the dawn
blood red moon
will guide you on
(and the blood moon will guide us through)
questions unsaid
free you from all you held
from ire comes peace
ire lead me
the blood red moon
will guide you on
the blood red moon
will guide you on
and the blood moon will guide you through
blood moon
blood moon

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou
supported by 643 fans who also own “Bloodmoon: I”
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.

Birth of Violence
by CHELSEA WOLFE
supported by 468 fans who also own “Bloodmoon: I”
Singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, Chelsea Wolfe’s plaintive voice is the centerpiece of all of these chillingly bleak tunes. Watery, sliding orchestration suits the misty and dark environment that she evokes throughout. Unflinchingly stark, the recording suitably ends with a storm.
