lyrics

Lying on crimson sheets
Still young with a friend on the road
I see you in my mind laughing
Now in front of everyone in a metal box

Eyes closed with bullet holes
Don’t you cry out for your mother
She’s too far away to listen
But she sees you now
Like your father
Who looks a lot like you do

The motel screams
But it was time to sleep
Time to sleep through the night
But the door swung open
In a crystal haze
Now your night lasts forever
And now your night lasts FOREVER

In my dream I found you
Smoking with a glass in your hand
They walk up to you hand in hand
And I imagine what your eyes had seen

Cold

Can you believe that in the decade that saw second-wave and atmospheric black metal take shape, the iciest album of the times would come from sweltering Arizona (by way of Iowa)? The album is Cold, it looks cold, and it is bloody cold indeed. AJ
