Thanatomania 04:10
Ore, o, ore Brick upon brick upon stone Jewel of Lucifer’s crown Hephaestian triumph Embolden our hearts For riddled with fear we cower I'll light the flame of reprisal From your ashes Another path was learnt Forward, upward, always Never looking back Satan’s sulphuric plumes Constrict the vessels of fright Release my spirit from this bond How it burns O, it burns I beg: burn me whole Sweat it out Swallow it up Get up and do your duty Death drive, Thanatomania Cast the first stone, Cast the first stone, cast the first stone Restless, tectonic Restless, breathless I burst O, how the tide has turned All the vultures fly ashore Golden, pristine Your perennial spark could never have grown from this soil
2.
Lifeclot 03:32
Christ shed a tear for Narcissus Lonely cold bitter drop of venom It sent ripples through stale waters Fetid pond whence all life emerges Lifeclot Misfortune knit with threads of flesh O, Devilbird Who regurgitates tainted Manna Your sickly children beg to be fed But it is you who shall feast on their bones Dispirited, frigid spawn of Venus Your breath of sulphur suffocates (Fly, Devilbird, fly!) Shrivelled womb, repulsive sight Discharging pestilent lustjuice Rotten tumorous breast laid bare Another child sips noxious nectar Domesticated by this lifeless stare Mark-bearing hide, profane scar Voces ultionis!

Strike the bell Light the flame Pour the blood Heed me, Sun God Incense burns The mist grows thick The gash bleeds Though horrified, I stand resolute Now I stand at the fringe of my world The bearer utters my name And the boundaries of space shatter around me I'm thrown into the nexus Where realities are born Yet I find my guide The pain is at its worse But I cannot die As the envoy of Death My hunger's untamed Holy beast Take my blood to the chambers of undying light And I will pray to the Mountains, the Thunder, the Sun To offer us respite Majesty Your will is supreme To Your health we offer young blood Great Monarch of the realms For the secret signs we offer our own blood

about

Dublin/IE - Nova Lima/BR

Terrorscaping engineers DESPOT return from the bowels of ostracism with DEATH DRIVE, an EP featuring two brand-new tunes, THANATOMANIA and LIFECLOT, and INTERSECTIONS, a bonus, unreleased track from a distant past. DEATH DRIVE is an important landmark in the band’s career. After a long pause - and many side-projects - DESPOT resumes its activities with renewed energy and focus.
