lyrics
HANGMEN:
I can hear him moaning in his cell
praying, cursing, casting spells
yet nothing can save his head
walking restless, waiting for his death
tomorrow comes his final day
I will lead him to his end
will I have my peace with this
at least I have to pretend!
memories cut roughly through my mind
old feelings versus my sense of duty
brothers in arms, now foes by law
you won't receive your revelation
the scaffold's lurking in the dark
waiting thirsty for fresh blood
stained with pain of countless enemies
and it still wants more
in the name of their twisted justice
so they claim it´s for peace and liberty
his body will turn cold
as friends had turned to foes
his screams cut roughly through the
darkness of the night
filling me with weird sadness
I wish that you sleep well my friend
your last sleep shall be tight
shall be tight!
PRISONER:
the walls around me are my witness
I am confessing any deed
starring through those iron bars
knowing where my path will lead
where my path will lead
where my path will lead
dusk falls slowly on the world
this night is dark and full of terrors
yet nothing now can save my head
the case is closed my soul is sold
and my screams cut roughly through the
darkness of the night
my mind is heading straight to madness
there is no escape I have to rest
my last sleep shall be tight
shall be tight!
the scaffold's lurking in the dark
waiting thirsty for fresh blood
stained with pain of countless enemies
and it still wants more
in the name of their twisted justice
so they claim its for peace and liberty
my body will turn cold
as friends had turned to foes
my screams cut roughly through the
darkness of the night
my mind is heading straight to madness
there is no escape I have to rest
my last sleep shall be tight
shall be tight!
the walls around me are my wittness
no regrets for any deed
starring through those iron bars
knowing where my path will lead
The sun is rising
and my final day has come
I have to say, that I slept well
do not hesitate
behead me now my friend
see you in hell!

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
Do not let the somewhat uninspiring cover fool you! this is some killer black / death metal. The riffs are amazing, as are the vocals. Getting the Non Serviam Records discography is one of the best things I have done this year! bmurator
Fantasque & Fantastique !
I love RandomWalk. I cannot think of any other group sounding like them. The closest you could get is a combination of Divercia, Oceans of Sadness, Mercenary and fresh garlic.
Well, while randomly starting the album, I envisioned an extreme version of RandomWalk, and my heart beat faster.
I drink decaf' coffee.
Zornheym may not know any of the cited groups. Like them, they created a unique flavour of metal. unidual
