see the flame
see the fire dance
see the flame
see the fire dance
hypnotized
you reach out
the flame
touches
your trembling hand
again and again
you seek
the transference of pain
until
at least
you find yourself
shaking
and shaking
and shaking the gas can
then holding up the lighter
and spinning
the wheel of misfortune

standing under cold electric fire
your neurons misfiring
your soul burns like a furnace
cauterizing old wounds
your silence, like armor
your only shield
again and again you find yourself
flashing back to the past
where there are no good times
no good times at all
years burned black
moments frozen
time stands still
they say it builds character
but they fucking lie
your mind like a stuttering camera
pointed backwards in time
flashes of shame
stares of disappointment
snapshots of an already ruined
and deteriorating life
do you burn for vengeance?
do you lust for the taste of blood?
do you desire to defile your enemies?
do you wish to see their heads on stakes?
when your mind has turned to freeze
when the blowback hits you
how does it feel
to drown in your own blood?

after the fall
when the black rain comes
will you have what it takes
to embrace the way of the gun?
the bloated sun burns
sanity is just an illusion
like a black star burning
holes in your rotting soul
there is blood on your hands
and they will never be clean
stumbling through the valley
of the bleached white bones
impossibly white skulls
silently reproach you
their eyes empty and lifeless
harbingers of certain doom
marching to fulfill a forgotten mission
anger your only source of energy
do you ever remember an emotion
other than blind, stupid rage?
too late for apologies
too late for absolution
there is no forgiveness
only revenge
only revenge
only
fucking
revenge

when she opens her eyes
the color drains from the world
all except
the blood beneath her feet
were you born so cruel
or was it learned
at the hands of the unkind
who broke your soul
draw a door in the air
step through and disappear
feel the chill inside your soul
as you evaporate
if i cut off my hands
and give them to you
will it buy back
your heartless love?

"Jim Wells" (NORENT063)
by Scathing
Scathing (Kenny Brieger), from Texas, is one of the best power-electronics bands in existence right now and while the entire band's catalog is excellent, this is one of Kenny's best.

violent for being sexually desired
by scopophilia
This collaboration between the women of Himukalt and Military Position is unique in its combination of edm and noise. Everything by both separate bands is excellent as well and worth hearing.

telegraphy by the sea
by jim haynes
Minimalist drone artist Jim Haynes, who also runs the amazing Helen Scarsdale Agency label, is prolific and consistently excellent. This is one of his best albums and a fine place to start.
