FLAMETHROWERS
And now you just sit.
It is the time you do not care at all.
Like soil emerged from stone and waste
Like frozen water in a deep crevice
Winter‘s razors cut you deep
Who am I? Who am I?
Start lighting flamethrowers-
Stop cursing darkness once and for all!
I am blue and you are red
I‘m alive and you are dead
Count to ten we are afraid
Let‘s make scissors from our hate
We invented a new god and
Celebrated and forgot
Summoned demons rose above
Cried for help and searched for love
Winter winter everywhere
Winter winter we dont care
Let us start our final march
Let us start let us start
Wintersoul - Wintersoul - flamethrowers burn burn
„Now watch closely, everyone. I'm going to show you how to kill a god. A god of life and death. The trick is not to fear him.“ Lady Eboshi in Mononoke Hime

HER WOUND IS GRAVE
We are on our long way down
Decipher the darkness
Decipher ourselves
Let‘s get into some trouble
Leave safe spaces behind
It is diversion that keeps us amused
Humans don‘t bounce off concrete well.
Nothing is ever forgotten
Gather around
A Forgotten tomb
In solemn night
We sense despair
So lost and found
And in the womb
A ray of light
The rightful heir
I sense her presence
A modicum of renewal
I look into her eyes
I see they are ablaze
Fierce powers unleashed
No more remorse no more regret
We are the future we are the grave
You owe us a death long debt.
“If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?” Gayle Forman

When I Throw Up

WHEN I THROW UP
OH, I‘m in one of my moods again
I already had too much input for today
This mind’s a Worse place by day than others are by night
Everytime I drink a beer someone used as an ashtray I think that‘s what all your lives and thoughts must taste alike
I have questions I have questions I have questions
My stomach hurts
When I throw up i want to create happy things that cheer me up that make me laugh
When I throw up I wanna dress in silly clothes and fool around and wardance to some goofy songs
I put my heart in what I do
Last night I could not see because of eyes covered in tears that movie triggered me
I am very bad with humanity
I don‘t want to believe in „it doesn‘t matter if we all die“
Because everything dies, baby, that‘s a fact
And maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Some hope is left, i don’t know why,
but maybe ... it doesn‘t matter if we all die.
„When I grow up I want to be a forester run through the moss on high heels.“ Fever Ray

SHADOW BARRICADE
I don‘t know who we thought we were
At the time when we thought we discovered our lights
Our hearts were everything but pure
But the mirrors reflected shining bright
We were lovers - we were enemies - were filled with love - were filled with fear
It was hidden - like demons - in torpor - winter no escape
So innocent - but guilty - so real was - every single tear
Our father - our mother -
Please welcome - shadow barricade
Follow your inner black hole
And your ghost may protect you better than me
On your way to the lights we cast many shadows
Creeping behind us silently
were filled with fear
winter no escape
every single tear
Shadow barricade
How long did it take for you to become young
Shadow Barricade

DARK LANTERNS
I left alone my mind was black
I needed time to drink to get the memories as fast as possible behind my rotten back
not child, but not an adult I
had songs and books and films that guided me along a sometimes wrong but generally wicked way
and then there were some friends I loved
so deeply and I vowed to face them even if it would be hard to keep them out of any harm
sometimes when I lost all control
I feared that everything was dead and that I could not keep the track and then I failed and maybe that is all
I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
I am out with lanterns, looking for myself.
Dark Lanterns show the way
Dark Lanterns might bring harm
my life is falling to dark pieces I can feel no warmth
Alone with all my thoughts
life patterns are a plague
I'm somewhere in between and crying, I don't want to break
silence
darkness
lurking in my mind
winter
noises
don't leave me behind
Wintermother take me home into the dark into the cold!
when you grow up your – heart has not to die my precious friend.
stay gold ponygirl – you are always loved.
even smart kids stick their fingers in electrical sockets sometimes.
If we are all going to die anyway, shouldn't we enjoy ourselves now?
If you completely forget your name, you will never never never find your way home.
I think she is growing up, and so begins to dream dreams,
and have hopes and fears and fidgets,
without knowing why or being able to explain them.
“You’re not trying to help me. You just have some weird obsession with keeping this lantern lit. It’s almost like your soul is in this lantern.” Wirt in Over the Garden Wall

THE UNBEHOLDEN
I remove the flesh from my bones to carve flutes for our marching song.
Afraid - afraid of everything.
Afraid – and I used to be fierce.
Take a picture of my soul
And start to realize
No one formed me of clay
I owe you nothing anyway
Take a splinter of my soul
And realize it's dust
Feel my dagger in your face
I owe you nothing, human race!
Beached whales grow legs over winter
and start a crusade
to conquer back this world
Stray cats find shelter over winter
And start a crusade
To conquer back this world
Dead trees find life over winter
And start a crusade
To conquer back this world
Lost souls find love over winter
And start a crusade
To conquer back this world
I am the joy
I am the wrath
I am the fear
I am above your lack of empathy and love
I am the future
I am everything
I am the future
I am I am

All That Has Never Been True
by ULTHA
supported by 25 fans who also own “HER COLD MATERIALS”
One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy.

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder
