lyrics

A young boy born into poverty
Sees the world for what it really is
A disgusting state in which greed and corruption thrive
Masked under the veil of divinity

Son of a drunkard and the town harlot
The bastard child of worthless human beings
Never shown affection or the love for one another
His life truly had no meaning

One night, a drunken father comes home
From a night at the tavern
He takes one look at his son
And spits at him in disgust

"You're a filthy mistake!"
"You're just a burden to me!"
Drunkenly, he grabs the switch from the table
"Please father, no more!"

A flash of light
A gust of wind
releases from his body
The room grows dim

His father, surprised, stands ready to beat him
But can not move
His body crushed from the force of gravity.
Exploding before him

Amazed at his newfound power
A slave to curiosity
Magic had always existed
Esoteric power only few possess

Devoted to the pursuit of the arcane
He embraces his true power within
The power to kill only gets stronger
A legend of fear he becomes

Standing at the city gates he
waves his hands, down rains fire, he destroys
the fucking city

Years later, he stands amongst his king
On the day of his son's coronation.
Cloaked in black he removes his hood.
Out of the darkness and the cold of the night

Approaching the king, he looks in his eyes
"What can I do for you my child?"
In one swift motion, he waves his hand.
A black mist emanates into the air

One by one, guests implode from the inside
their entrails paint the golden hall red
The king is left alone in shock and horror
Alone, the "mighty" king asks

"Who are you the devil?"
His blade moves across his throat
The king chokes on his blood, his eyes roll back.
"No, I am the new king"

Wretched Existence
by Before The Harvest

supported by 13 fans who also own “The Wretched Tyrant”

Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed. Mitch Mitcherson
