Endless Metal Podcast thumbnail
Endless Metal Podcast My favorite of their three full lengths. Wayward Dawn play riffs as surgical and crushing as Prong and vintage Entombed. This death metal that is relentless and evil but for lovers of sledge hammer riffs it’s a next level for HEAVY music. Just relentless and addictive!!! One of my favorite non-long form doom bands in ages. Favorite track: Soil Organic Matter.

They thrive on Mount Olympus On the construction made of our bones On the soil that we laid They silence our thoughts but cannot cage our words Still we choose a king that bears ill will each and every time, and we ourselves pay the price We walk in slumber Alive but dead inside we continue to please them Their acts of violence continue throughout time Time and time again they paint their banners with our blood The sell us a false paradise for our souls They keep us in the dark, and yet we refuse to see the light The ugly truth But our voices will be heard One day voices of millions of forsaken souls will join as one Still they suffocate those voices by forcing us to kill each other in their fucking wars In the end none of it will matter Their castles will perish. Our soil will wither away The fault lies on us all Thy name is man and thy art is murder All you are is soil organic matter for society

Welcome to the family Fresh out the womb, now it’s time to bleed Wisdom Religion Fill your head Fill it with lies Fill it with dread Empty promises they give you It’s only your soul, that they take You’re a currency, a brick in the wall, another infant to enthrall All you are is soil organic matter for society All you are is soil organic matter for society From our remains, cities will rise From our remains, society will thrive Our bones create the carcass of construction We’re nothing more than livestock for reproduction Welcome to society You signed the contract, when you chose to breathe Processed. Oppressed Whipped and shipped A product sold to the highest bid Your fate is sealed Take one last breath Wrap the silken noose around your neck Swallow your dreams Follow the stream Grind your bones in the great machine All you are is soil organic matter for society All you are is soil organic matter for society Lead the cattle to the fires Fuel the furnace of empires Harmony will reign forever If your sacrifice your entire life for the greatest lie romanticized All you are is soil organic matter for society All you are is soil organic matter for society From our remains, cities will rise From our remains, society will thrive Our bones create the carcass of construction We’re nothing more than livestock for reproduction

If liberty stands for anything It's the right to tell you what you do not want to hear In a world so grim Break the silent oppression and fear A slit of the tongue won't kill the message A slit of the throat won't take off the head What can't be killed will never die Silence is for the dead Take our Freedom Away And eventually we'll be... Silent Brainless As we're… Led like sheep to the slaughterer Let the dictated rise against A dictator so malevolent As everything else is gonna fail The spoken word will prevail A slit of the tongue won't kill the message A slit of the throat won't take off the head What can't be killed will never die Silence is for the dead Take our Freedom Away And eventually we'll be... Silent Brainless As we're… Led like sheep to the slaughterer Freedom of speech Freedom to impeach Your reality will never be mine Silence is for the dead Silence is for the dead Silence is for the dead Silence is for the dead Silence is for the dead Silence is for the dead

Ape of State 04:18
Ape of State Leading the state of decay Divide us all into disarray Who’s the fool? The people or the one they elected? Ape of state Leading the state of decay Idiocracy I guess prosperity is obsolete Once again, the commoners have chosen a jester as king Eternal desire for revolution Condemning this world for a quick resolution We are knocking on Death’s door Lobotomizing choices made by the… Ape of State Leading the state of decay Divide us all into disarray Who’s the fool? The people or the one they elected? Ape of state Leading the state of decay The end is near Till death we follow the great puppeteer Egomaniac Make this country hate again With a mindset so dense, why even bother? We’re all just monkeys throwing shit at each other We are knocking on Death’s door Lobotomizing choices made by the… Ape of State Leading the state of decay Divide us all into disarray Who’s the fool? The people or the one they elected? Ape of state Leading the state of decay Blinded by promises of make-believe We always choose a vile regime Nothing left of truth but ruin (Nothing left but ruin) We chose our own undoing As another fool ascends to head of state (Ape of state) We devolve to the state of apes Bloodshed will forever remain As long as there’s hate to fuel the flame

Wake up to the chronic cycle To the daily grind in the treadmill Every day melts together Sleep Eat Work Repeat The numbness of no purpose, creates a void so hollow No misery No bliss Emptiness is all you know Watch the time slipping away Bleeding through one more day Repeat the never-ending march of mannequins Now decide if it’s a life worth living This is the greatest neglect of life Sleepwalkers that never wake Alive and breathing yet dying inside Marching on Waiting for the end to come Empty faces Pale bodies Roaming endlessly Organic machines obeying every pull of the string All connection to the living is lost As man continues down the beaten path Pounding the pavement Forward march Until the end of time No way out for our wretched kind Repeat the relentless march of mannequins Now decide if it’s a life worth living This is the greatest neglect of life Sleepwalkers that never wake Alive and breathing yet dying inside Marching on Waiting for the end to come Making a living is not the same as creating a life Rushing through existence to reach a goal too far beyond In a race against time Death’s the only peace to find From the cradle to the grave The mannequins march on This is the greatest neglect of life

Bloody red stripes and fifty stars of gray This is the American way Ignorance is bliss, where fear rules supreme Is this the American dream? Burning crosses defiling another backyard Cowards Culprits Concealed in white malevolence Love thy neighbour but shoot him if he gets too close So, stand your ground It’s your right as an American citizen In the land of the free Blood runs deep In the home of the brave There is fear Law enforcement now enforcing your demise The first kill comes for free, as long as you deny Pledge allegiance to your blood-spangled banner Uncle Sam wants you to spread your country’s cancer In the land of the free Blood runs deep In the home of the brave There is fear You’re your own worst enemy (America) You’re your own worst enemy (America) You’re your own worst enemy (America) You’re your own worst enemy In the land of the free Blood runs deep In the home of the brave There is fear Bloody red stripes and fifty stars of gray This is the American way Ignorance is bliss, where fear rules supreme Is this the American dream?

Trapped in the blissful void Sanctuary from knowledge Bathing in false light A world made by design A world to be controlled A world we know nothing about A stage A show We are the puppets and they’re the crowd Oblivious we fly In darkness we dwell Such a beautiful lie In darkness we dwell The eternal hunt for answers Crawling in the back of our brain But what we want is not what we’ll get So we hide in shallow shelters In the sweet caressing darkness Filled with pretense of prosperity Blindly we follow the blind Straight into the abyss Thinking paradise awaits The future is uncertain Because the great big eye Is busy gazing over its clueless slaves Oblivious we fly In darkness we dwell Such a beautiful lie In darkness we dwell We know that they’re hiding something infernal We crave and hunger for proof Still we overlook the ugliness of truth True freedom lies beyond the concepts of our own construction We’re too deep in our self-involved corruption I only know one thing for certain At our own hands Mankind will end Oblivious we fly In darkness we dwell Such a beautiful lie In darkness we dwell

Face down once again Drowning in the filth of contempt Paying the price of being different Stepping towards the end Trapped beneath the weight of oppression All your wounds will build your throne Feeding upon your hate and aggression My friend, you’re never alone We are the forgotten But we will never forget We are the scorned But we have no regrets We are the wayward The ones that you neglect We are the dawn Our voices become one All for one None for all Used then discarded and left to crawl Born in the shadows of better men We were never gonna meet their expectations Don’t surrender Never let them silence your tongue Always remember My friend, you’re not the only one We are the forgotten But we will never forget We are the scorned But we have no regrets We are the wayward The ones that you neglect We are the dawn Our voices become one This is it It’s time to distort the conventional way of life It’s time to rise against our oppressors Bite the hand that feeds Because it only feeds you lies We are the neglected The freaks The misfits and the geeks Let them hear it Let them fear it As a million fucking voices come together as one We will no longer fight just to exist We will no longer lay down and submit Now it is time for us to resist We will tear down your walls brick by brick We will no longer fight just to exist We will no longer lay down and submit Now it is time for us to resist We will tear down your walls brick by brick Step out of their shadows and relish In the dawning genesis Step out of their shadows and relish In the dawning of a new age We are the Wayward Dawn

Target approaching Drops of sweat is rolling You line up your sights Measure the trajectory Eye locked on eye Fingers twitching weary Blood will soil the earth and shame will soil the soul One of us must die Only the least humane survives Crosshairs never tell a lie So suffocate the child inside Standing at the gates Who will be the casualty? Standing face to face with your mortality A liquid holocaust is lighting up the blackened sky The smell of putrid burning flesh festering in your mind Losing a piece of yourself with each bullet hitting the ground Killing so many, somewhere along the way you lost the count And when the hero returns to a broken family Neglected by both country and kin Down your throat Drown the nightmares of the calamity At least you’ll get a hero’s funeral When you lose the battle within Alone you stand and alone you’ll fall The promise of silence will always be kept Forgotten by all, but the ones whose blood you spilled Live or die You’re still stuck in hell One of us must die Only the least humane survives Crosshairs never tell a lie So suffocate the child inside Standing at the gates Who will be the casualty? Standing face to face with your mortality One must die One must die One must die One must die One must die One must die One must die One must die

Eons ago a sickness was born, and the downfall had begun A proliferating epidemic making all succumb It steals from the living and supply the dead In a kind and loving disguise It’s easy to forget That this parasite will leave you to die Spreading like the plague Leaving you nothing but desolation I hope your kingdom finally may come How could we be so eyeless to blight? There’s no stopping the virus of life Like autumn leaves you wither away Your illness sinks its teeth of decay Digging Drilling Probing your skin Its gluttonous ways leaves you hollow within You welcomed it with open arms You left yourself exposed to the swarm You’re the creator This you can’t deny You invited the leech that bled you dry Spreading like the plague Leaving you nothing but desolation I hope your kingdom finally may come How could we be so eyeless to blight? There’s no stopping the virus of life Dependent on one another Yet slowly killing each other As you watch the world in flames Know that you’re the one to blame Thy name is… Thy name is… Thy name is… Thy name is man Thy name is man Thy art is murder Thy name is man Thy art is murder We are the end
