The Truth
03:54

|
FEAST YOUR EYES
UPON THIS VISION OF LOST REDEMPTION
CLEAR YOUR MIND FOR TRUTH
YOU ARE BLIND
EVEN AMIDST THE ONSET OF LIGHT
BUT YOU CAN’T DENY THE TRUTH
TELL YOUR FRIENDS
AND GATHER YOUR CHILDREN AROUND
THEY KNOW SOMETHING’S WRONG
WHEN YOU’RE SINGING THIS SONG
THE LULLABY FOR MANKIND
THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN WE ALL BELIEVED
IN WHATEVER OUR HEARTS DESIRED
ALL THE SIGNS WE OVERLOOKED
EVERY PROOF THAT WE MISTOOK
FOR LIES AND DECEPTION OF STRANGERS
AND NOW OUR PRECIOUS PAST
HAS ALL BUT CEASED TO MATTER
AS FAITH WE PUT IN GOD AND SCIENCE FALTERS
THE ONLY NOURISHMENT IS THE TASTE OF OUR DEFEAT
THE CROWS AND DOGS WILL TEND
TO THE TOMBS OF OUR CONCEIT

WHEN YOU CAME
WE WELCOMED YOU IN
TRIED TO BE
BEST HOSTS WE COULD BE
YOU LIVED WELL
WANTED FOR NOTHING
OR SO WE
WERE LED TO BELIEVE
WHEN WE CAME
WE BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING
YOU HAD LOST
MANY YEARS AGO
INNOCENCE
OF A TRUE BELIEVER
VALUES THAT
YOU FORGOT EXIST
SCHWARZE MAUER / CZARNY MUR
THE COMEDY OF DESPERATION
OR TRAGEDY OF MINDLESSNESS
WE SEE EVERY DAY
IT’S ALL THAT WE CRAVE
WE’RE MAGGOTS WHO FEAST
UPON THE CORPSE OF OUR WORLD
SOME OF US KNOW THAT IT’S BAD
MOST OF US SENSE THAT IT’S WRONG
YET STILL WE IGNORE
AND WE BEG FOR MORE
THAT’S HOW IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON…
SICK BLACK FUTURE
WE BUILD WALLS ALL AROUND
SO WE CAN FEEL SAFE AND SOUND
THEY’LL KEEP THE STRANGERS OUTSIDE
UNTIL THEIR THREAT WILL HAVE DIED
WITH EYES OF MY YOUTH I SAW THE WORLD
TURN FROM BLACK AND WHITE TO GREY
AND NOW IT’S JUST BLACK

In Darkness, In Silence
05:08
|
|||
|
TODAY ALL THE BAD WILL GO AWAY
TONIGHT I WILL GO TO BED AND SMILE
THIS DAY IS THE LAST ONE WHEN I’M AFRAID
THEY’LL SEE, THE NEW AGE HAS ARRIVED
MY NAME WAS FORGOTTEN
I EXISTED IN SHADE
MY LONELY APARTMENT
SAW AEONS OF SHAME
IN SILENCE IN DARKNESS
MY HEART SENDS OUT ITS BEAT
IN DARKNESS IN SILENCE
IS WHERE WE’LL FINALLY MEET
COME OVER
I LIVE IN THE HELL OF YOUR BEAUTY
IT’S MY DAILY BREAD
I TASTE BITTERNESS OF MY FURY
AND DISSOLVE IN MY BED

Scars
06:46
|
|||
|
I DON’T MEAN TO GET SENTIMENTAL
BUT PERHAPS IT’S TIME
TO EXAMINE WHAT’S BEEN KEEPING ME FROM
SLEEPING WELL AT NIGHT
THE SKY IS BLUE AND MY HANDS ARE BLACK
FROM DIGGING IN THE GROUND
I WANT TO BURY ALL THE THINGS
THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED FOR A LONG TIME
PLEASE UNTIE ME NOW
I DON’T DESERVE TO BE SUFFERING MORE
HOW MANY LIFETIMES WILL YOU HAUNT ME
LONG AFTER WE’D SETTLED THE SCORE
JUST LET ME BE, ALLOW ME TO GO
SO I CAN LEAVE ALL THE HATRED BEHIND
MY FOOLISH REGRET WOULD NOT LET ME FORGET
THE SCARS IN MY MIND
DIFFERENT SCARS FROM DIFFERENT TIMES
THIS COLLECTION’S QUITE A SIGHT
THIS ONE IS FROM '92
WHEN I THOUGHT I STILL LOVED YOU
FOOLISH ACTS OF FOOLISH MIND
CHOICES WHICH CAME TO DEFINE
PEOPLE THAT WE HAD BECOME
YET PAST STILL LINGERS ON
LIST OF NAMES OF MY ENEMIES
SEEMS TO BE NEVERENDING
ALL THE NIGHTMARES BLUR INTO ONE
DEMON I MUST BE FACING
OPEN YOUR ARMS
EMBRACE THY FEAR
OFFER YOURSELF
YOUR SCARS WILL HEAL
SWEET SURRENDER'LL SET YOU FREE
SACRIFICE TOMORROW
I SHALL NOT SUCCUMB
SO PLAGUE ME NO MORE
A LIFETIME OF SORROW
ALL BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FINAL GOODBYE
DON’T HOPE FOR TOMORROW
YOU WILL MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE MORE THAN TWICE

We All Die
03:43
|
|||
|
SOONER OR LATER
WE LOOSE TO NATURE
THAT IS THE ORDER OF LIFE
AND THERE’S NO POINT IN CRYING
USELESS DENYING
YOU LIVE FOR A BIT, THEN YOU DIE
STILL…
WE ALL DIE
AFTER YOU DRAW LAST BREATH
YOU’LL BE DANCING WITH DEATH
NO MATTER HOW WEALTHY
PALE JUDGE FINDS YOU GUILTY
SENTENCE NEVER CHANGES
ONLY HOW YOU FACE IT
LAST WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED

The Saviour
02:25
|
|||
|
YOU RESCUE THE STARS
THAT FALL ONTO YOUR PATH
AND GLITTER EVER SO GENTLY
WITH THEIR FADING LIGHT
YOU KEEP THEM ALIVE
AND GIVE THEM TASTE OF YOUR LOVE
BUT NOTHING’S ETERNAL
AND DEEPER STILL THEY MUST FALL

Your Garden
06:35
|
|||
|
YOUR GARDEN WAS VAST AND WILD
THE WEEDS WOULD GROW UNCHECKED AND TALL
YOU COULD BARELY SEE IT FROM THE STREET
BETWEEN THE OLD CHURCH AND THE CORNER HOUSE
LIKE A FLYER FOR A GENTLEMAN’S CLUB
STAPLED TO A FAMILIAR LAMP POST
IT WAS A TINY FLEETING GLIMPSE OF SOMETHING…ELSE
CATCHING FLIES IN JARS
WATCHING SPIDERS THRIVE
DODGING BUZZING THINGS
TO AVOID THEIR STINGS
EATING BREAD WITH JAM
HIDING FROM OUR MOM
LYING IN THE GRASS
DAYS OF SUMMER PASS
AS THE SEASONS CHANGED
GARDEN STAYED THE SAME
COLOURS TEEMING BRIGHT
PLACE OF OUR DELIGHT
IN MY MEMORY
I CAN SEE YOU THERE
FINGER ON YOUR LIPS
QUIETLY WE STEP BACK IN

Life

COME ON LIFE, COME ON
SHOW ME WHAT YOU’VE GOT
COME ON LIFE, COME ON
YOUR SHIT’S NOT GONNA LAST
CAUSE I’VE SEEN ALL YOUR DIRTY TRICKS
YOU THROW AT ME JUST TO SEE WHAT STICKS
I’M PAST THE POINT OF GIVING A DAMN
ABOUT YOU
COME ON LIFE, COME ON
I’VE LIVED WITH YOU FOR SO LONG
COME ON LIFE, COME ON
I’M TIRED OF HOLDING ON
YOU NEVER KNEW HOW TO TREAT ME RIGHT
I LONG FOR THE DAY WE DON’T HAVE TO FIGHT
IF ONLY I KNEW HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE
WITHOUT YOU
I WILL NEVER SING THIS SONG AGAIN!

One Last Question
06:37
|
|||
|
YOU’LL DIE ALONE
JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
YOUR FRIENDS ARE GONE
DON’T BE MAD
THEY’D LEAVE YOU FOR EVEN LESS
CONTEMPLATE THIS WHOLE DISASTER
THAT YOU CALLED YOUR LIFE
CAUSE ONE THING SEEMS TO BE FOR SURE
YOU’LL DIE ALONE
"GLASS COAT"
ALWAYS BEEN TOO FRAGILE
FOR CRASS JOKES
STAY LOW
SPEND YOUR LIFE IN SILENCE
SO WITHDRAWN
HOSPITAL BED
PISS SOAKED SHEETS WILL BE YOUR LEGACY
WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH SURROUND YOU
BUT YOU’RE NOT EVEN DEAD
WHERE HAVE ALL THE LONG AND PRECIOUS
YEARS OF YOUR LIFE GONE
THEY WERE PROMISED TO YOU
ON THE DAY YOU WERE BORN
IT’S ONE THING TO HAVE THE LUXURY OF SOLITUDE
AND ANOTHER TO BE FORGOTTEN AND LEFT ALONE
LEFT ALONE
MAYBE ALL OF THIS
IS ONLY A TERRIBLE DREAM?
EVERYONE’S HAPPY
SMILES ALL AROUND
THIS IS HOW YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO LIVE YOUR LIFE
ONCE IT WAS POSSIBLE - JUST TAKE IT
ONCE IT WAS LIKELY - TO HAPPEN
ONCE IT WAS PROBABLE - DON’T WASTE IT
ONCE IT WAS ALL UP TO YOU
WHY IT’S NEVER HAPPENED?
WHY I’VE FAILED SO BAD?
TELL ME WHY I’VE LOST IT ALL?
PLEASE TELL ME WHY I’M DYING ALONE.

Come You Fool
02:24
|
|||
|
COME, COME YOU FOOL
FRIGHTENED BY SILENCE
COVERED UP IN MAKE-UP OF SCARS
AND COME, COME YOU FOOL
NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOU
TO HIDE AGAIN
SO COME, COME YOU FOOL
FORGET ALL THE VIOLENCE
PUT AWAY YOUR ARMOUR OF SCARS
AND COME, COME YOU FOOL
NOW IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR YOU
TO LEAVE YOUR WORLD BEHIND

Natura Morta Norwich, UK
INHUMAN was formed in 1987 in Swinoujscie, Poland. I joined on drums in 1988. We recorded a rehearsal demo of primitive thrash-death in 1989. Now I play guitar and yell. In 1990 we changed the name to MORAL DECIMATION-slow depressive doom. A demo was recorded that year. In 1991 another name change, to NATURA MORTA. 1993 we split. In 2018 I resurrected the name, if not the band. ... more
