Hymn For The Wretched Lyrics
we are the blackness of the night
cold wind that cuts your flesh
we are the enemy praying for your certain death
we are what was, will be forevermore
in the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark
children of the blackest seed
reared on murder and deceit
we are the thorns of human woe
his will be done
to the humble maggots
to the putrid flies
where death and hatred lurk
we shall survive
to the diseases
to the sharpest knives
when daybreak no more comes
we shall arise
we are the sickness, the stench of the deceased
your father's secret shame
our violent wrath shall be unleashed
we feast on blood and the weakness of your kind
from the haunted depths we have arisen to slither as the snake
children of the blackest seed
reared on murder and deceit
we are the thorns of human woe
his will be done
to the humble maggots
to the putrid flies
where death and hatred lurk
we shall survive
to the diseases
to the sharpest knives
when daybreak no more comes
we shall arise
lurking legion of the obscene
unheard forever in between
unbound
the liars in wait
our being you forsake
whispers upon the winds, profane
unheard, the wretched and the insane
unbound, forgotten, ignored
the ugliness abhorred
the razor; the bullet; the length of rope
our tools are numerous, our hatred overflows
the razor; the bullet; the length of rope
a lapse of sanity plummets to earth below
we are the blackness of the night
cold wind that cuts your flesh
we are the enemy praying for your certain death
we are what was, will be forevermore
in the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark
we are the sliver in your god's feeble hand
during the silent hours, the shadows we command
we're the undying insect, from the deepest cracks we came
for aeons we have lurked and for aeons we shall remain
cold wind that cuts your flesh
we are the enemy praying for your certain death
we are what was, will be forevermore
in the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark
reared on murder and deceit
we are the thorns of human woe
his will be done
to the putrid flies
where death and hatred lurk
we shall survive
to the sharpest knives
when daybreak no more comes
we shall arise
your father's secret shame
our violent wrath shall be unleashed
we feast on blood and the weakness of your kind
from the haunted depths we have arisen to slither as the snake
reared on murder and deceit
we are the thorns of human woe
his will be done
to the putrid flies
where death and hatred lurk
we shall survive
to the sharpest knives
when daybreak no more comes
we shall arise
unheard forever in between
unbound
the liars in wait
our being you forsake
unheard, the wretched and the insane
unbound, forgotten, ignored
the ugliness abhorred
our tools are numerous, our hatred overflows
the razor; the bullet; the length of rope
a lapse of sanity plummets to earth below
cold wind that cuts your flesh
we are the enemy praying for your certain death
we are what was, will be forevermore
in the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark
during the silent hours, the shadows we command
we're the undying insect, from the deepest cracks we came
for aeons we have lurked and for aeons we shall remain

This song has what could be the fastest blastbeat I have ever heard. I love this bands lyrics. They talk about dark deathlike topics in a very poetic manner and is much more intelligently written then most of the MDM scene. But melodic death isnt really about lyrics and vocals as much as it is just the music but with this band, everything shows a large amount of talent. Usually a band would need to singers to pull off this vocalist's range. These guys are definately overlooked.
if you think these blastbeats are bad, check out the ebrzerker
berzerker? lol, they cannot even play their instruments
berzerker, lol indeed.
you guys are fucked.. the berzerker is soooooo good at there insturments.
who is the deep scream dude? is it Trevor
This song is about a collective of outcasts, heretics, etc, who prey on the humanity that rejected them.
The Bezerker's drums are programmed, hence the speed of the blast beats.
Trevor provides all vocals on the recordings, often on different tracks (always for the parts with both ranges at once). Low vocals are done by a guitarist when both voices are needed live.
