Five Easy Lies

by Die Like Gentlemen

muschiosauro Excellent sophomore album where the prog factor - which was already present in their awesome debut - is more prominent and gives even more uniqueness to their already unique style of epic, threatening and "croony" sludge metal. Favorite track: Unstoppable.

Bucky "Five Easy Lies, expands its sludge metal roots deeper into the grungy, doom lair, as if Black Sabbath and Danzig locked themselves in a basement, got high and listened to Tool for inspiration on a collaborative effort and produced a record."

Unstoppable 07:08
UNSTOPPABLE freeze the lightning • pause the thunder • stare then rewind • bloom again • these messiahs of destruction damn the faithless shadow men • how can I feel sorry for you? • how can you not see this end? • if you'd read the authors I've read, you'd see why I can't pretend • unstoppable • unavoidable • matter of time • unthinkable • unbelievable • so cry the blind • there's a science to prediction • odds collapsing into fate • if we descend underground • live to one day live again • stillborn as a new religion • disbelieved before it's born • I believe this has to happen • I'll survive to save you all
2.
AHRRISS THE WIZARD cryptic incantations churn behind the eyes • needling the spiral, spellbooks in disguise • smoking in the half-light, tugging on his beard • conjured apparition, cast and disappeared • splinters of a wracked wand circumscribe the ground • potions of devotion, fire pouring down • casting via gesture, spelling without words • summoning commotion • rolling fourths and thirds • alive in this world of symbol and phrase, Ahrriss the Wizard holds you in his sway
3.
ANIMALS OF ROMANCE lies • harmless lies to seduce and construe • truth is the last thing that I want from you • ask for it, plead for it, beg me to do those secret things that we shared in our youth • some little pain, first it hurts then it's good • drives us insane like I knew that it would • hard, realized, in control, in a trance • die synchronized • animals of romance • fill every hole • forcing inside • out of control • flawed by design • climax of roles • less than the sum • coming to go • going to come
4.
Stray Demon 04:53
STRAY DEMON I'm falling backwards into history • disprove the future from the past • slaughtering nations with impunity • all I survey is mine at last • I topple mountain ranges • stretch forth my hand and boil the seas • did God intend me a mass-murderer? • theodicy's most awesome test • am I not proof of heaven's apathy? • or am I God made manifest? • no mercy, no forgiveness • humanity's abandonment • I despise your lives • angels will punish me for centuries • my immortality is safe • I'll be reviled for all eternity • he who deformed the human race • they'll speak my name in whispers • but curse their maker for their pain • I despise your lives
5.
HIDDEN SWITCH a hidden switch is flipped • a nerve has bitten down • a permanent alarm • a static piercing sound • inverted pedal tone • infuriating noise • interminable climax • instills what it destroys • can't say that you weren't warned • a warning you ignored • the cost of all that volume • is silence nevermore
