We’ve all let doom be our guide !
We’ve all let doom be our guide !
There’s no need to weep or bay for blood
Embrace failure and doom forevermore
Consume until the life-saving flames will consume you
Your seeds of damnation are already sprouting up
They’ve wrecked or doomed anything on their way
Centuries of evolution are just the height of absurdity
We all just care about our own navel, nothing else matters
All these lukewarm reforms have built our own tombs
Still, we all pursue them while fighting tooth and nail
There’s no need to writhe, take a seat and watch
Avidity and apathy have driven us until that point of no return
Too much is never enough they said !
Too much is never enough they said !
Aim for the sky they said
Prometheus always forever
Doomed from the start, the impossibility of change
A spiralling evolution towards the worst
The worst
The absolute fucking worst
The worst
Now look at yourself and please deaden your own wailing
By swallowing silently the excrement of your cowardice

Ruination

Drifting into extinction
Drifting into total oblivion
Just a few years left to laugh
And death won’t come soon enough
The end will be more than just bitter
Global starvation and disease harsher
A slow moving apocalypse
Shoving billions of corpses into the mass-grave we built for ourselves
We have been digging our own grave for decades,
Industriously making things worse and worse
Beyond repair
Beyond hope
Beyond salvation
The earth shall swallow us and vomit us into the soils for the new era to come
Unwavering
Unswerving
Implacable doom
No time for gloom
It is so very soon
Rejoice and behold
We shall be the audience of the farewell show
Rejoice and behold « APRÈS MOI LE DÉLUGE»
Front-row seats for the inescapable collapse of mankind
Mass poverty, mass starvation, mass catastrophes
Mass migration, mass anarchy, mass graves
Are you on the good side of the fence?
Will you hold the gun or the shovel to dig your own grave?
Will you shoot the zombie-like refugees when it’s you or them?
We had been warned for decades but no one would listen.
Blinded in our little comforting cocoon,
No one took even half-measures, no one would consent to make small sacrifices.
We have always scheduled for tomorrow what should have been done yesterday,
Leaving this self created burden to the new generations to come
The time of full measures is coming, radical, desperate measures,
no choice left, and radical sacrifices are unavoidable.
But even so, will it suffice? OF COURSE NOT!!
So first let all the less fortunate ones be nothing but skin and bone.
Then, watch them painfully devour their own wastes with an inflated stomach and utterly livid eyes.
Let them finally become nothing but wastes in turn, blame them until their last breath and pretend that it was the only way
Beyond repair
Beyond rope
Beyond annihilation
The earth shall digest us and defecate us into the soils for the new era to come
Unwavering
Unswerving
Implacable doom
No time for gloom
It is so very soon
Rejoice and behold
Our bubble will burst so bad, grime and pus and gore.
And the end of your life will be one of complete misery.
No sacrifice will redeem you, it will be too late, absolutely too late.
And regrets will eat your soul before the rats do.
You’ll be remembered like the scum of the earth after your demise by all the new generations to be born. And curse you they shall.
Rest assured as your remains will be exhumed just like a bulky weed.
Your disgraceful existence will be just a bad memory.

All hail to the most ferocious terrestrial predator ever created
The only one that has built stratums of species among its own peers
Never satisfied, always dribbling, greed and envy will forever lead
Make the earth bleed, soil it shamelessly, run it dry until it will gulp you down
Some are so above
Others are so below
Almost nobody in between
Nearly vultures and rats
The powerful are ruling behind the curtains
They’ve tamed well their frantic subjects
Make the have-nots even poorer, enslave them if required, it matters not
Make them cling to traditions, be sure they lose their minds, easier to control
Let chaos come to them, let blood flow, pretend to be outraged, but let it go
Befoul their lands
Leave them bones to gnaw
Let diseases decimate them
Once more, pretend to be outraged
Same old, same old,
Light hearted and clean
Make the haves even richer, empower them if required, it matters not
Make them cling to loyalty, be sure they lose their minds, easier to control
Let wickedness come to them, let vice grow, pretend to be outraged, but let it go
Rest assured as nothing will put an end to the bloodshed
We’ve already crossed apathetically the point of no return... but who cares?
Just to serve the interests of the mighty ones so far above
Some lands are already doomed: drought and famine omnipotent, unstoppable
Gaze at the lifeless bodies of the unfortunate travellers, it should be sad
Please, keep them away from our shores, just far enough from our sight, it’s too ugly
Don’t waste my meal!
Some are so above
Others are so below
Almost nobody in between
Nearly vultures and rats
Just to serve the interests of the mighty ones so far above
The lunatic escalation towards extinction
Philanthropy is just an illusion
Compassion is just a common ideal
No ordeal will be tough enough
Extinction will be our reward
Nothingness will be our legacy
Ashes we were, dust we shall be
Ashes we were, in doom we shall be

The Terminal Purge
12:22

|

Lands of countless corpses covered with bruises and lacerations
Wars have eradicated us, ground limbs rest beside bodies
The stench is choking, the air conveys nothing but decay
Time to abdicate, rats are feasting in the name of our demise.
They have prevailed…
All that’s been crafted is now reduced to ashes and dust
Monuments are just piles of rubble, cities are in ruins
Forests are burnt out, empty rivers only sweep along wastes
Seas are completely gutted, free of any form of life
An infinity of dead seas…
No more vice, no more greed, it’s so soothing here
No more gods, no more faith, it’s so peaceful here
We have doomed our own species, we were all born as contributors
We have wasted our own habitat, we were all born as destructors
Rejoice as our decomposing remains will become dung and may bring life back to the dry soils
Pus and coagulated blood will become ressources of a new eden
Our rotten flesh will be the bread of all human life erasers
Making the earth become again a luxuriant place to dwell
Humanity was cancer and that cancer will have been cured
Human beings will be a bad memory, remote and faint, soon to be forever forgotten
A whim, a mistake
In a few hundred years earth will be mended

This was truly a revelation. I was getting started with funeral doom, working on something with my headphones on... Then came Déluge... my jaw actually dropped, I stopped what I was doing and, wide-eyed, just listened to the track, baffled and amazed. After the album was over (I never do this), I went to lay down with my headphones to enjoy it over again. I rarely heard (and felt) this much power and emotion in an album. Until I find something better, this is my landmark for peak funeral doom.

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.
