lyrics

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

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
