lyrics

Under the trees
Shielded by shadows
This is the place
Where one man will die

I’ve sworn an oath
That binds me to kill you
Your blood will quench your disciple's blade
And stain the cherry blossoms red

You taught me that the blade of the strong
Is the blade that will be never drawn
Now I realise that these words are vain
And that what rules the world is only pain

So this is where
And this is when
I knew this dreaded day
Finally would come

I see that you
Have chosen a side
Just as I taught you a long
Long time ago
This time I won’t be able to advise you

Like not every seed turns into an oak
Some infest the ground and make the roots rot
So your soul is bent with a grimful thirst
I will strike where your blackened heart is cursed

The two men gaze into each other's eyes
Both the dashing fool and the elder wise
Only one will see the dawn again
And will shed a tear for the one who’s slain

Paralyzed's sophomore effort is an absolute banger and an example of what I hope vintage-styled heavy stoner blues rock can be. Crank it up and rock out. Colin M.
