lyrics

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

about

Wayward Dawn Skanderborg, Denmark

Formed in October 2015 in Skanderborg, Denmark, Wayward Dawn plays intense and relentless death metal with a massive sound barrier of double bass pedals, heavy guitars played through classic Marshall amps, and a vocal that goes from abysmal growls to rancid and rotten screams. ... more

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

OSDM the way it should be. The best traits of genre are on display. Technical, punchy, catchy and head banging inducing. With almost neoclassical solos and John Tardy vocals Dmitry Nevozhay
