Lyrics:

We won’t survive this winter,
The season brings blood to these streets,
The flow of life is hindered,
Citizens are butcher’s hanging meat,
Struck by cold and bitter hatred
Sown by angered Deity,
Made to bow in fear we’re fated
To graves beneath the sea.

We can’t escape his anger,
His wrath will rain down on us all,
Our race will breathe no longer,
There’s nothing left it’s time to fall,
We won’t survive,
No time to cry,
We have all sinned
It’s time to die.

Deity.

Our prayers will not be heard now,
The time for pleasing him is gone,
It’s not the time for words now,
We’ve all survived for far too long,
Fall to your knees,
Wait for the pain,
Burn to death or freeze,
Your God's insane.


Deity

Lyrics:

Blood thunders,
Blazing eyes.
A gibbous moon and all ties break.
The howling of the dire wolf,
A crippled hound crushed under hoof.

Reckless charge past hanging tree,
Sky darkens,
Charge relentless,
Mind closed,
Overwhelming pain.
Ferocity leaves his foe defenceless.

Rooks scatter,
Screech of terror,
Beast dropped to dim lit moor,
Time flies,
Fleeting shadow.
Barbed arrow and the curse is no more.


The Wild Hunt

Taken off our first EP 'The Splintering' produced by Alden Beckett.

Lyrics:

Beyond the eye of ruin,
Centre of the blast,
Neolithic destruction,
Hatred from the past.

Paleo-ancient civilization,
Create machines to cremate,
Gigantic messenger of death,
Physics that negate.

Annihilation of the enemy,
Weaponisation,
Arrow of fury.
A monolith that stands the test of the ages,
An iron thunderbolt; Shrine of war.

Long-lost lust to conquer,
To destroy foreign lands,
Vitrified remains of cities
Dissapear under the sands.

Archaic wrath of the Gods
That resonates through millenia,
The eye of ruin ends all life.



Eye of Ruin

Lyrics:

Bow down to Matriarch,
On your knees for the insect queen,
All hail the Matriarch,
Mother of a race unclean.

Mother abominate,
Mother Superior,
Mother of hate,
Human inferior.

Lie before the Matriarch,
Dead and dying litter the floor,
Obedient for our queen we march,
Enraptured by her every sound.

Mother abominate,
Mother Superior,
Mother of hate,
Human inferior.

The long reach of the Matriarch,
All-seeing eyes of the insect queen,
All hail the Matriarch,
The last thing you'll ever see.

Mother abominate,
Mother Superior,
Mother of hate,
Human inferior.
Mother abominate,
Mother Superior,
Mother of hate,
Human inferior.

Get on your knees.


Matriarch

This is a BRAND NEW track off our album which is going to be released later this year (Title to be announced). Once again, produced by the amazing Alden Beckett, AKA Mr. Wizard and we're all very excited about how the album is sounding so far, we hope you are too! - Broken Tusk 

Cutting strings the scissors sing,
Notes of birth and death they ring,
Melodies of war and peace,
Decide the fate of man and beast,
The end of lives, or just the beginning,
The scissors keep on singing,
Love or death or fear or hate,
The dual blades will seal your fate.



Clotho weaves, 
Lachesis shapes,
with her abhorred shears; Atropos waits,
The vision three days after birth,
Weaving the skin of life on earth,
Inexorable spinning to shape us all,
From dawn's first light till dusk's last fall,
Strong or weak to rich or poor 
A clip of shears and you are no more.

Fates at work just beyond sight,
Loom in the darkness and the light,
Guiding the arrow of time,
With iambic metre of their rhyme,
Relentless rolling to the rhythm,
Destiny strikes with precision,
Always, forever, now or never
Your lifestring will be severed.

Loom of the Fates

As promised, here it is! To celebrate 200 Facebook likes,  another track from the album we're currently working on! Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far! - Pete

They sleep
In the tunnels of power
Awaiting the call
Awaiting their hour

Beneath the Sands
Soulless lurker in the dark
The Anubite
Pitiless murderer
Its savage visage
Built to kill in myriad ways
A horrifying sight
Dreaming black dreams and counting down the days

They feed
On the vibrations of the earth
Tidal forces
Will aid them in their rebirth

Beneath the Sands
Soulless lurker in the dark
The Anubite
Pitiless murderer
Its savage visage
Built to kill in myriad ways
A horrifying sight
Dreaming black dreams and counting down the days

They rest
Until the time is right
To rise above
And end the light

Beneath the Sands

	
Having recorded their debut EP 'The Splintering' (Available for free download) with production wizard Alden Beckett in the summer of 2011, these boys are now looking to bring their own mix of the various subgenres of Metal to the venues of Gloucester and surrounding areas. A heavy and exciting mix of swaggering, sneering riffs and blistering breakdowns (affectionately and aptly dubbed 'beatdowns'), Broken Tusk still manage to keep a semblance of harmony in their music, providing a very heavy but still extremely catchy sound
