Baptized in a Storm of Swords Lyrics

I am alone
Killing my thoughts of outcome
Delusional virus of God
On the verge of extinction
nwardly caged
Empty in silence
Offering to the suicide king
Leaving the misery of God
A storm of swords to end my life (Take me)
A storm of swords to end it all (Drown me)
Lacersations from the sky to baptize my soul one last time
Rising from these seas of boiling blood (My own blood)
Torn from this birthed tomb that had no bearing on your choices
Still the dove of peace can not justify the bearing of the wounds of Christ
The blade of release
Uplifting in belief
Eyes opening to black
Reforming of this afterlife
This flame to resurrect
Following my own will
Holding the blade to chest
Escape from this scream of conjuring
Inhaling the blaze of forgotten fire
Scorching new blood to black
Through the center of the rotting sun
The sick angel with razors for wings
Resurrect me and offer me to suicide again
Faceless king engulfs me in freedom
A Venus of horror made imperial
Lay me back to soak my head in pure blood
Bleeding from my wrist... this stream of independence
As I raise my vision escapes
Feeding this surgery of the lifeless Six - Sacraments of anguish and deceit
Six - Shadows of baphomets horns Six - Fatherless bastards of grief Birthright of the damned
We praise our soulds descent
Bleeding like a cold river into eternal damnation
These lacerations entwined (for) an alliance of the blind drink deep of desecration
A murderous praise I vomit upon the holy altar
Hooks of the embraced hang from the heavens
Sucking the endeavors of pain
Bleeding life from the lifeless
As I soar on the tempests sharp wings
Trading layers of flesh during intercourse
Orgasm found in asphyxiation while losing life
Tubes pumping fluid of evolution into a mutation for the birthing of the jackal
Rising from these seas of my own blood
As man's outer frame constricts with metal and tissue
A scaffold of torture to be raised as an altar
These interpretations of the surgical testament
Lying naked licking these wounds of humiliation

Goatwhore is a blackened death/thrash metal band from the swamps of New Orleans, LA. They were formed by well known musicians from the Louisiana metal scene. They first came together in 1996/97 when Sammy Duet (former Acid Bath/Crowbar guitarist) and Zak Nolan (former drummer of Goatwhore, now replaced by Zack Simmons) jammed together as a little sideproject when Acid Bath was taking a break. They soon made some four track demos. When Acid Bath fell apart in 1997 (due to the loss of bassist Audie Pitre) they dedicated more time to Goatwhore (formerly known as Kilgore). They quickly turned into a 4 piece with the addition of Ben Falgoust (of Soilent Green) and Pat Bruders. In 2004 Goatwhore was offered a deal by Metal Blade Records, who they are signed with now........

"We are timeless ... within damnation"

With its 2000 debut, The Eclipse of the Ages Into Black, Louisiana miscreants Goatwhore explored old school satanic black metal as no American act had before. The band's flame-throwing ferocity and blasphemous conviction hailed such pioneers as Bathory and Venom and offered respite to purists grown weary of the fanciful, over-orchestrated musings of Europe's contemporary black metallurgists.

Goatwhore's new second effort, Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun, ventures into darker, less conventional territory. Probing the pitch-black recesses of mind and soul in a disturbing, introspective examination of dark forces at work, and unleashing it all with a feral hookiness and atmospheric flare, the band steps beyond the bounds of mere black metal into a realm all its own.

While the band's raw, vicious tone remains - and Falgoust and Duet's high-end, low-end vocal tradeoffs ensure plenty of menace - there's more order to the chaos on Funeral Dirge. The unrelenting tempos and buzz-sawing guitar that fueled Ages have been refined to provide "Vengeance of Demonic Fury" or "Baptized In A Storm Of Swords" with more structure, depth and texture.

Goatwhore takes a rather drastic turn on "As The Sun Turns To Ash" and "Fires of the Judas Blood." With their dramatically slower pace and eerie vocal/guitar interplay, they echo Celtic Frost's ground-breaking Into The Pandemonium and lend an even more ominous air to the album.

After releasing Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun in 2003, the band jumped to Metal Blade for 2006's A Haunting Curse, which took on a much clearer blackened death metal style.

2009 saw Goatwhore's latest release, Carving Out The Eyes Of God. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
