lyrics

A life as choice deemed to be fulfilled by one's self
A life as told forced to be fulfilled by the other

Bred by fear, nurtured by a presence of hate
Genealogy focused to dominate
A history or power, of tyrants and helots and gods
Put into practice by the worry of loss

Justify imposition by suppressing liberty

You cannot force a life to live a life like yours
You should not bend the mind to follow your ritual

Boxing in, closing the will to discover
Occluding the choice of path to be set by the other
Forceful reckoning leading to condemnation
Imprisoning others by fear and pain and desperation

What conviction it takes to regress into subjugation
What right to claim morality as an act of your creation
Those who fear the most claim to be our saviour
All the while the fear itself justifies their behaviour

Replace the gift of choice with indoctrination

You cannot force a life to live a life like yours
You cannot make the eyes believe in your soul

You cannot force a life to live a life like yours
You must not break the will to become your chosen role
Can you not find within yourself the courage to let them choose themselves
You must accept at last, release your grasp, remove your hate control

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 5 fans who also own “Petrify”

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
