All the world's great heroines are dead
you messenger, you talk to God you . . .
let the blood that the villainess has bled
tell the priestess tell her what you read
I'm lucid now, what do I see?
Oppenheimer Quoting Vishnu
How does your armor still shine?
I was fooled by your toothless Teresa smile
set me up,saw a fool
you refused to pray with strappado krav maga hearts
strung me up, broke my wings too
will your children survive?
I'm lucid now, what do I see?
silently, cautiously, you change scenes
your narrative differences from mine
Oppenheimer Quoting Vishnu
to run away I've leagues to go
how does your armor still shine?
Maybe the world needs a heroine more than I need you
those whom you crucify, are those that you imbue
they'll find your empathy robs them of their dignity
and leaves such shallow husks
as it did to me, you Winged Victory
Maybe the world needs a heroine more than I need you
those whom you crucify, are those that you imbue
they'll find your empathy robs them of their dignity
and leaves such shallow husks
you've no claim on me, you Winged Victory
Who's the martyr on your altar?
me, when I reap what you rend
who's the hero in this conflict?
you, and your agonist trend
don't you think I deserved better
don't you know what I mean?
don't you tread upon my nightmares
and I'll let your dreams leave you be.

Wow, what a find. This album has basically everything I like to hear in modern-day metal - flawless song structure, heartfelt clean vocals (with some fierce harsh ones mixed in). Gorgeous instrumentation and a provocative style that's part prog, part NWOBHM rounds out this fantastic package. This is a must-own. Bruce
The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023
