lyrics
A boot stamping on a face sets the scene
for reality openly obscene
Taught not to question the roles we are granted
quelling urges of thoughts any grander
But I guess that it's hard to see
the horizon of a sullied sea
when ocean's stirred and the current wrecks
and shallow waters cover necks
A manufactured permanent consent
A vision in two definitions
Did Fuller's Spaceship Earth crash and burn?
Was Imagine just a song?
Can currents change their paths?
Withered voices given strength
After being kept at length
- For tacit credence cause the end -
And only then may we ascend
Only reaching far behind
leads to rigid state of mind
It's never-questioned validity
borders on morbidity
So don't look back but fix your eyes
towards wherever change may lie
A vision reborn is means to end
But as of now we just pretend
for reality openly obscene
Taught not to question the roles we are granted
quelling urges of thoughts any grander
But I guess that it's hard to see
the horizon of a sullied sea
when ocean's stirred and the current wrecks
and shallow waters cover necks
A manufactured permanent consent
A vision in two definitions
Did Fuller's Spaceship Earth crash and burn?
Was Imagine just a song?
Can currents change their paths?
Withered voices given strength
After being kept at length
- For tacit credence cause the end -
And only then may we ascend
Only reaching far behind
leads to rigid state of mind
It's never-questioned validity
borders on morbidity
So don't look back but fix your eyes
towards wherever change may lie
A vision reborn is means to end
But as of now we just pretend

Dödsrit is what happens when you drag Post-Hardcore, kicking and screaming, back into a Black Metal setting. And it's clearly working.

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard...

Life has gone on long enough
by NONEsupported by 30 fans who also own “Pretend”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...
