NETHERBIRD LYRICS

1. Myosotis Scorpioides (Intro)

[Instrumental]

2. Abysmal Allure

Have you ever doubted
The limits of who we are?
Have you ever transcended
Into what some of us are?

You’re a story unread
I shall read you word by word
Your beauty will come alive
Alit by abysmal fire

In the gardens of man we shall thrive
Oh we bring beauty to a world of stone
In neon Babylon we shall flourish
We are the wicked, we are the depraved

Have you heard the call, the abysmal allure
Of flesh and lust and hunger in a sinful embrace
Have you heard the roar, the abysmal allure
As limbs and bodies thrash, in depravity unite

In pursuit of pleasure
In challenge of your barriers
Your beauty comes alive
Alit by abysmal fire

In the gardens of man we shall thrive
Oh we bring beauty to a world of stone
In neon Babylon we shall flourish
We are the wicked, we are the depraved

Have you heard the call, the abysmal allure
Of flesh and lust and hunger in a sinful embrace
Have you heard the roar, the abysmal allure
As limbs and bodies thrash, in depravity unite

Across every border, I will force every gate once barred shut
Oh I shall have, every dark hidden corner explored through my flesh poetry
Oh be my canvas in this my beastial artistry
And be my colours, my brush, my carnal muse, my lust
And where we go, others can only follow
To where fires roar and wicked angels soar, for us all

3. Swedish Sadness (Sorrow’s My Vessel)

Oh, on this sea of mercury pale
Only the sky, is of less luster
Where waves are ripped and thrown
Only my heart is more restless and torn

Sorrow’s my vessel
Sails woven of torn dreams
Hurt is my wind
My charts made of apathy
Sorrow’s my vessel
I set sail for the sea
Guided by disbelief
not to arrive but to leave

I miss the person that you made me be
I miss the beauty that you made me see
I miss the king you made out of me
And I miss the wonders you made me believe

Oh sorrow’s my vessel
sails woven of torn dreams
Hurt is my wind
My charts made of apathy
Sorrow’s my vessel
I set sail for the sea
Guided by disbelief
not to arrive but to leave

4. Born Defiant

My shores are rugged
I am of the unfertile soils
So harsh and bold my spirit
My children born defiant

Purify – amend, restore what liars crushed
Rectify – Reason shall conquer and prevail

Throughout the ages, come war, plague and death
I never faltered, no never did I bend

We’re born defiant, through fire, ice and snow
No vain denial, shall ever dim these eyes
We’re born defiant, we are the spirits free
No weak denial, shall ever chain these souls, in sleep

I can tell a thousand lies for what they are,
endure a thousand years and never yield
I can host any kin and kind, and every creed
but those that poison people and turns them into sheep

Under burning skies, my vengeful children strike
Their towers shall sway and fall, into darkness
Through the barred gates, swarm their halls
A hammer swung at those that stole

Purify – Intellect shall triumph
Rectify – Thoughts not prayers lead the way

Throughout the ages, come war, plague and death
We never faltered, no never did we bend
Under burning skies, my vengeful children strike
Their towers shall sway and fall, into darkness
Through the barred gates, swarm their halls
A hammer swung at those that stole

I am a land they could never tame
These words are proof that they failed, ignorance begone
They call it heathen, I call it free
They call it Norse blasphemy, I call it me

I am a land they could not understand
Where minds are harder to darken, reason’s bastion
They call it evil, I call it free
I call it man over god, I call it me
