1.	Blame 03:31	lyrics
1. Verse: Staring at each other/ If only eyes could kill/ A raised gun/ An impulse is formed/ My fear and hate/ Into rage combine/ Who will blink first/ The abyss or I Pre-Chorus: Noose is tightening/ Its a minute 'til midnight/ A grave will be made 2. Verse: Thousand memories/ As single flashes go by/ How to begin/ To connect the dots/ Where to lay blame/ This crooked reflection/ Where do I look/ without seeing myself Pre-Chorus: Self-control is loose/ My instinct here decides/ It's time to end it all Chorus: Hear me/ The last word I speak/ Tonight/ We settle the score/ I swear/ I will not survive/ You will/ join me in dust Pre-Chorus: I hear me/ I fear me/ I hate me Chorus
2.	Dust 03:01	lyrics
1. Verse: Open your veins/ Lead me to drink from them/ Inhaling deep/ The dust of angels Pre-chorus: This heavenly air of bliss/ I want to suffocate/ The scent of ecstasy/ This is where I belong Chorus: I would rip your wings/ I would burn your body/ I would grind your bones/ For one last taste 2. Verse: Open my eyes/ Let me see myself again/ Tormented sleep/ Withdraw to reality Pre-chorus 2: Regretful sobriety/ I am to suffocate/ Cold sweat of depression/ Is this where I belong? Bridge: For all these years/ I hate this desire/ For one last taste/ You are my last mistake Chorus 2: I would rip your wings/ I would burn your body/ I would grind your bones/ For one last taste of you
3.	Not the Gates 02:44	lyrics
1. Verse: Struggling against these chains/ Trapped in this dark hell/ Ignore the cries for help/ Ignore the prayers for death Pre-Chorus 1: There are no faces/ In the darkness/ Awaiting my turn/ To be a carcass Chorus 1: Dragged from my cell, kicking, screaming/ Please dear God don't take me to the gates 2. Verse: Thrashing against these chains/ Blinded by the light/ Ignore the roaring crowd/ Ecstasy in their eyes Pre-Chorus 2: All the faces/ All the smiles/ The dead are waiting/ To be defiled Chorus 2: Dragged from my cell, kicking, screaming/ Please dear God, don't take me/ Forced to my knees, begging, pleading/ Please dear God, don't put me on the gates Not the Gates (x4) Pre-Chorus 3: All the faces/ Here are grinning/ My life, my eyes/ It is beginning Chorus 3: Ripped from my neck, dripping, bleeding/ Oh dear God, I'm still alive/ Blinded by tar, dying, fleeing/ My head is placed atop the city gates
4.	White 03:16	lyrics
1. Verse: Gather all the sticks and stones/ Gather all able bodies/ The orders are here/ Command is: obey/ Can I cross the line?/ But can I turn back? Chorus: Let it rain (fire)/ White phosphorus/ Make more room (in hell)/ For the new damned 2. Verse: Gather all the bones and ash/ Gather all the recent dead/ The white rage is here/ My mind pure black zen/ I can't see the line/ We are in too deep Chorus 2: Let it rain (fire)/ White phosphorus/ Make more room (in hell)/ For the next damned Chorus 3: Let it rain (fire)/ White phosphorus/ Make more room (in hell)/ For us new damned

about

Asketia Rovaniemi, Finland

Gutturally visceral Death Metal from the desolate wastelands of the Arctic. Haunting songs paint a bleak picture of the apocalypse we call modern life. The winter is coming...
