lyrics

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

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
