I can feel the poison in my veins Rushing blood governs my time
Freedom expires willing to resist I'm the deceiver Judas in my world
I look into your eyes Backstabbing still not aware
Try to occupy all hours not asleep Lying! preferring to leave
Just a few seconds satisfying weeks
She sucks all that's right out of me
I look into your eyes Backstabbing still not aware
Soon my conscience has fallen I despise and I deny
My actions serves none but myself
My urge to hold her beyond time
She whispers sweets into my ear
And I am lost in my world of lies
This tempting goddess playing me
Like the master sweeps his strings
I woke up from my illusions with regret
She cast her final spell
All that this sickness has caused
Is revealed just in front of my eyes
I look into your eyes Prepared to repeat the sin
epic, pastoral doom that yet radiates with the sadness and anguish of the abused. a powerful, moving work - if only the band had a different name... risottoeater
So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
