lyrics

All that lay before us
Life that rides ahead
A stage befit for moulding
Soapstone to create

Whittle down the branches
Carve away into your shale

All that weight around us
Engrossing gravity
Goading us to lead it on
To conjure destiny

Tributaries flowing down
Erosion cutting the stone

Whittle down the branches
Carve away into your shale
Divination through the ashes
Mendication to the will

We create the stars – to follow our own sign
We ignite the flame – to illumine
We impress our way – to bear our own design
We are told to make the choice, to forge our time, to foresee our own life

A history behind us
A future yet to pass
Waves projecting outward
A sea of history

Can we escape the tidal pull?
Or are we hapless in the sea?
Do our sibylline creations perpetuate
The violence of humanity?

Vibrations from the before
Contaminating now
Originary violence
A scarred ancestry

Can we escape the tidal pull?
Or are we hapless in the sea?
Do our sibylline creations perpetuate
The violence of our history?

We’ve killed our way to our present state
A trail of bloodshed left in our wake
We wrestled out of that primal dawn
Only to make bloodshed our genetic mark

Combat the past – accept our will
Deny our blood – admit our truth

Can we help but imitate our original kin?
To forge ourselves we seem to cause the other’s end

Our violence carries on – we see it carved into the rock
A heritage conjuring storm – we find it engraved into bone
Our judgments weigh into the earth – we carved into the rock
Our language liquidates the world – we find it engraved into bone

The blood finds its way into the world
The mind breaks its path into the self

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 5 fans who also own “Fossil Constellation”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
