At One With The Earth

[Strangelight]

Whats the verdict on this classic track?

The intense grasp deaths stranglehold has over me
confines me to my own personal agony
Set me free, let me go
Release the chilling grasp with which it clutches me

The earth issues it's extreme unction
as I realise my punishment for sin
Enguifed by death for all eternity
In my bones I no longer feel the cold
as the mire unbosoms it's secrets to me

Ubiquitous fetidness, death is everywhere
My God, unshackle me

My suffering grows with increase of my guilt
Destroy devotion. Be at one with the earth
I sink down into the clammy soil
At one with the earth

 

[Bastet]

i don't understand these lyrics...
am i stupid?

 

[pagan2002]

i remember hearing a death metal song and thinking i could write one so i went upstairs and an hour later had at one with the earth... add to that daz's top lyrics and jay's backing vocals, with double bass drumming from john (first time we'd done that properly) and you end up with a classic bit of underground brutality...

 

[zupi_clone]

ah the drumming is killer on it

 

[Cerulean]

Heh, I recommend this track when people ask me what song they should download to get into Anathema

 

[bleed_black_orchid]

aww bless first bit of brutality...

 

[Strangelight]

Cracking lyrics. They've stood the test of time eh. Cracking song even, you bunch of plazzys

 

[bleed_black_orchid]

plazzy scousers.. hahaha they all live in runcorn them. and insist that they were originally from speke. wankers.

 

[Faelivrin]

don't like that song...

 

[french_anatheman]

I prefer "As fire swept clean the earth" from Enslaved.

 

[OctoberEthereal]

I love the writing for the lyrics. And the instrumental is fantas-mo, but put'em together and eh, I'm too picky.

[Allan]

Perceive the fact people actually want to know, at least as equally terrifying as that clueless people theory, eh?

 

[MoonsOfJupiter]

this song rocks! "Echoes of Terror" also kills

Wouldn't you like to make a extreme metal project?
It could be interesting to go further in the vein of songs like "Pulled under.." or "Panic", but more extreme and still melodic no?
The good old time!!!:Shedevil:

By the way, i don't see why they should go back to the "good old time". For me the good time is today, actually since Eternity ! And it's going always better.
Panic and Pulled under are excellent, you're right. I feel like Anathema will never go back to a doom sound, and they're really right. It doesn't mean I don't think they won't be "agressive" anymore, but maybe more in a "hardcore" way, instead of metal. Well, i say that because Pulled Under & Panic make me think more of At The Drive In rather than My Dying Bride. Anyway, whatever they choose, it will fuckin' rock !!!

It's cos they're plazzies now. They traded in their Xentrix backpatches for Mogwai y-fronts. Cronos is best! and The Lord Of Mortal Pestilence
