lyrics

Well I used to wake and run with the moon
I lived like a rake and a young man
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
my laughter the devil would frighten
The sun she would come and beat me back down
but every cruel day had its nightfall
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
full of fire and forgetful

My body was sharp and the dark air clean
and outrage my joyful companion
whispering women how sweet did they seem
kneeling for me to command them
And time was like water but I was the sea
I'd have never noticed it changing
except for the turning of night into day
and the turning of day into cursing

You look at me now, and don't think I don't know
what all your eyes are a saying
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies
they're just tricks that his brains been a playing
A lover of women why can't hardly stand
he's bent and he's broken, he's broken
I've fallen it's true but I say unto you
hold your tongues until after I've spoken

I was taking my pride in the pleasures I'd knew
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
but my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
said my friend, we're holding a wedding
I buried my face but it spoke once again
the night to the day we're a binding

And now the dark air is like fire on my skin, even the moonlight is blinding

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 6 fans who also own “Rake”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

World's Blood

Not a duff track on it, for some reason some of it reminds me of FOTN! It must be the dusty western influences? I'm looking forward to catching them live later this month dainton

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 5 fans who also own “Rake”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
