LYRICS:
Part I
Wrapped up in a carpet
Unravel her deepest charm
Caesar takes her right to him
to penetrate her deepest heart
So easy to blame a woman
society will eat itself
Weakening all their manhood
as incest will take its toll
Wrapped up in a battle
There's fire on the open sea
Antony and Cleopatra
Escape to their suicide
So easy to blame a woman
Society can fuck itself
Masculine little jokers
as incest will take its toll
Part II
Hurry come to the river
the pleasure barge is here
Gilded birds and silver serpents
the writings on the deck
Hold the snake to breast
A fleeting type of life
Antony he smiles
in red and white he dies
Hold the snake to breast
A lovely suicide
The fangs dip in and kill
a lovely suicide
Hurry to the river
the snakes have come to feed
Silver birds and serpents
that's really all you need
Hold the snake to breast
A fleeting type of life
Antony he smiles
in red and white he dies
Hold the snake to breast
a lovely suicide
the fangs dip in and kill
A lovely way to die
Hold the snake to breast
A deadly suicide
The fangs dip in and kill
a lovely way to die
Hold the snake breast
a bitter suicide
the fangs dip in and kill
A better way to die
In general, I’m not very keen on doom metal, but this album appears as an exception. The dark atmosphere and the beautiful melodies held my attention from the first seconds, but what that really made me give in are the mesmerizing vocals.
This record is honestly something you don’t want to miss. Monia Lisa
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
This Calgary group makes goth-y post-punk attired in the brightly colorful arrangements of bleep-boop synthesized psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 3, 2024
