To Bare The Burden
03:09
|
|||
|
Sacrifice is so simple in the face of death. You do nothing to refrain. The choice to indulge is the choice to destroy. Just to satisfy your bullshit needs, your bullshit greed. You, yes you, are the one I blame. Death stares in your eyes, never to realize. You do nothing to refrain. I drench you. Drown in vein, to bare the burden for all their pain. The burden, it falls on you.

Seven Layers Of Waste
02:52
|
|||
|
I thought I knew.
I guess I was the fool.
I'll never reconcile.
Every word you told me, shoved back down your throat.
I'll cut your fucking tongue and make you bleed as I did.
Seven layers of waste, seven layers to cut through.
Erase my pain as I watch you hang.
Every ounce of hate that bleeds in me, would love to wrap around your neck and squeeze the life out of you. Your pain heals my wounds.

Day Of Atonement
02:13
|
|||
|
I'll walk alone, even in the presence of so many lives I've touched. I'm the black sheep. Now the outcast as you change and rearrange. My mindset won't die. Left in the dust through the test of time. All the laughs and smiles have turned to cold stares. This day of atonement, recollections on what once was. Now you're just a blur, set in my minds' eye. Used to be the same. To me inside you died. You died.

Rust
02:40
|
|||
|
Open wound, blood consumed, cleansing me. Left to rot, pulse forgot, torment me. Plagued and gagged, seclusion calls. Rust away, the grey it befalls. Your touch burns, my pores scream, painstaking, shivering. So what are you, because only you can make me feel this way. Smiles unfold, fate which we hold shatters with one thousand breaks. Tormenting me. My lungs collapse as I take my last gasp

Stoneface
03:09
|
|||
|
So there you are. Still you're nothing at all. No substance contained. All emotions tucked away. Held restrained. Internal bleeding. No one can ever see beyond stoneface. Unleash the hostage locked within yourself. Now breathe some life. For the first time, lift your fears.

Pattern Life
02:39
|
|||
|
The image you project. The ego it creates makes my blood boil, as I watch you imitate. Pattern life. Exterior, it blends. Interior, no it can't pretend. Attention, you feed off it. Your self expression is nothingless. Now I mock you and your pathetic life. Your fashion show is nothingness. Drown in your pattern life. I hope you fucking drown. Your image means nothing.

Crawl
03:22
|
|||
|
Tear at me. Stretch my skin. Pierce these eyes. Self inflicted damage. I'm yours, drain me. Take me for all I'm worth. You are my everything, my life is yours. Take me, I'm yours. I've become my prey, left with no self worth. Stripped from inside, severed from deep within myself. I'm nothing. Numb. All for you. I breathe for you, I see only you, I suffer for you. The more pain that you induce, the closer I feel to you. Crawl, I'd crawl for you. Rip me apart.

Salvation's Slave
03:00
|
|||
|
Fall from grace.
I must belong, my faith is strong.
Almighty above, take my life.
Since I was born, you were pounded into my head.
I must believe, I must obey.
I've never heard your voice, I've never seen your face.
My instincts dissolve just to feel your embrace.
Take me, show me the right.
Teach me, salvation's light, salvation's slave.
You are the truth, salvation's light.
You are the truth, given me all my life.
You are the truth, salvation's light.
You are the truth... no more.
No longer can you control this life.
I've watched you fall from grace.

All Deceived
02:30
|
|||
|
In time they will all see what you truly are. And it makes me sick to watch you bask in all the glory, so undeserved. You don't feel what's been burnt so deeply within my heart, and now lives in me, which fortifies me. I won't be the next to wrap around your finger. I won't bow down to you. Take your place, a**ume your role. Your artificial efforts, they can't blind me. Faker, deceiver, the simulator. Does anybody else see? To me you mean nothing. All deceived.

Fracture
02:26
|
|||
|
This still burns through my every vein. So deeply etched inside of me. You'll never know all I've gained. You'll never know what I became. So where the fuck are you now? So caught up in your worthless life. You'll never know. You'll never feel. No convictions, no substance to you. Just an empty shell without any truth. So I ask myself, where did you go wrong? I guess from the start you didn't belong. Can't drag me away.

Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think.

Black is beautiful. Inside outside. This band is superb. As a huge Sabbath fan I love the low tuned riffs, as well as the hardcore speed moments, short as they are: but it's exactly that which keeps it so damn interesting. Also love the interplays full of sweetness or speeches about black culture and being black within white domination. Still some things to learn. This is the real life in music form. Let's celebrate.
