Infected with deceit, rabid and sadistic Resisting our potential, self-loathing, schizophrenic Unworthy, lowly, filthy, diseased, materialistic Our God is dead He's turned his back on us Our Goddess is dead She had no faith in us, she has no use for us
Orphaned we pray for an afterlife Abusers - While we make the life we have Building - Towers to house our giant egos Erasing - Ideals and heroes Losing - Our ability to function naturally Unaware that our time's up In denial of our own death
Running through the dark, we convince ourselves it's light We laugh and carry on, while all day long it's night Deserted and forsaken, our hope's a flimsy veil Our existence is cosmetic, our lives are all for sale Eternal guilt and infinite regret Our sentence is a mirror, and we deserve it Leave a hole in the side of the coffin So you can reach out and drive the last nail And as the dirt gets piled on, rest assured in peace Cause your check's in the mail
We are deserted We are abandoned Dead
" Portland's NUX VOMICA return with their second full-length album on Aborted Society, "Asleep in the Ashes." Constantly defying easy classification, NUX VOMICA has persistently challenged and redefined the constructs of DIY punk since their inception in 2003, and this release is certainly testament to that. Merging elements of crust, thrash metal, sludge, doom, psychedelia and post-rock, Asleep in the Ashes is a 60-minute long epic that weaves in and out of genres with equal amounts of ferocity and complexity."
