lyrics

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

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
