Cirkus mrtvých

"The Architect of Flesh" - This track reveals the full extent of Crowe’s curse. Through the Codex Umbralis, his body becomes more than a vessel—it is remade as a living temple for the entity. Each scar, each wound, each murder was not random but part of a grand design: the construction of a gateway through flesh itself. The lyrics shift between Crowe’s horrified awareness and the entity’s triumphant proclamation, with Abberline beginning to realize that his partner’s body has been transformed into the ritual’s foundation. The tragedy deepens: Crowe is no longer simply possessed, but restructured, his humanity overwritten into architecture for something that wants to step fully into the world.

[Intro]
[CROWE]
Through time's deep cracks, the syllables creep,
Older than stars, in shadows they sleep.
Tongues forged in ash, etched deep in stone,
I form their shapes—but not alone.

[Verse 1]
[CROWE]
My veins they ink the script unseen,
My skin’s the parchment where gods convene.
Dreams carve diagrams in red,
Ancient glyphs where blood has bled.

I thought the words could give me sight,
Instead they claimed my shape outright.
The marrow twists, the tendons bind,
A temple raised from flesh and mind.

[Pre-Chorus]
[CROWE]
I thought I searched, but I was found,
A vessel forged, a soul now bound.
The Codex spoke, the lines were sown—
It carved a frame that’s not my own.

[Chorus]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh claims and binds,
My blood the blueprint, my bones the lines.
The architect of flesh, design complete,
Through me it builds what can’t be beat.

[ENTITY]
Flesh is mine… design complete…

[Post-Chorus]
[CROWE]
Carved in marrow… etched in breath…
Life remade… through living death.

[Verse 2]
[CROWE]
Its script carved deep in bone and vein,
An edifice built through sacred pain.
My heart tolls like a chapel’s bell,
My skull the doorway, my ribs the shell.

It spoke in tongues my lips betrayed,
Each vow a stone the temple laid.
I was the seeker, now I’m clay—
Shaped by hands that won’t decay.

[Pre-Chorus]
[CROWE]
I thought I searched, but I was found,
A vessel forged, a soul now bound.
The Codex claimed, the patterns pressed—
It made my body manifest.

[Chorus (Variation)]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh, no will, no choice,
My frame the altar, my throat its voice.
The architect of flesh, design fulfilled,
The door now opens, the blood is spilled.

[ENTITY]
Blood is spilled! Flesh is mine!

[Bridge]
[ABBERLINE] “What curse is this?”
[ENTITY] (Your partner’s skin)

[ABBERLINE] “He bleeds, he breaks—”
[ENTITY] (He builds, he makes.)

[ABBERLINE] “This path consumes!”
[ENTITY] (Through him I bloom!)

[ABBERLINE] “His soul, undone—”
[ENTITY] (The work begun!)

[Breakdown
[ENTITY]
Not man, not god—but what survives,
A temple built from living lives.
No silence left, no voice, no rest—
Only the Codex, carved in flesh.

[Final Chorus]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh—I can’t resist,
Each breath a stone, each wound its fist.
The architect of flesh—design aligned,
Through me it builds, through me confined.

[ENTITY]
Through you confined… design aligned!

[Extended Outro]
[CROWE]
These hands were mine… (no longer mine…)
This breath was mine… (lost to design…)
This life was mine… (crossed the line…)
The temple stands… and I’m confined.

[ENTITY]
“Zorath’nim… Mor’thak keleth…”

Heartbeat slows, silence.


The Architect of Flesh

[Verse 1]
Seven voices in my head, all laughing in sync
Seven hearts in my mind, beating black as ink
You reach for the crown, but the crown bites back
Every step you take just deepens the crack

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re nothing — I’m everything
Your reach is short, my roots run deep
And the harder you swing
The more it feeds me

[Chorus]
I’ve got a mile-wide grin, and it’s all for you
Every tear you shed’s just fuel I chew
I don’t play the hero, I write the end
Your name’s erased, your lines are penned
You’re nothing — I’m everything
That’s what makes me better
That’s what makes me better

[Verse 2]
I don’t fight for the mirror, it’s already mine
It smiles back with teeth like a blade’s design
It’s too easy to pull your soul apart
Thread by thread, I unspool your heart

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re nothing — I’m everything
Your reach is short, my roots run deep
And the harder you swing
The more it feeds me

[Chorus]
I’ve got a mile-wide grin, and it’s all for you
Every tear you shed’s just fuel I chew
I don’t play the hero, I write the end
Your name’s erased, your lines are penned
You’re nothing — I’m everything
That’s what makes me better
That’s what makes me better

[Bridge]
You fight for you, I fight for them
Your world caves in, I don’t condemn
History bends to the strongest hand
And mine’s the one that owns the land

[epic guitar solo]

[Final Chorus]
I’ve got a mile-wide grin, and it’s all for you
Every tear you shed’s just fuel I chew
I don’t play the hero, I write the end
Your name’s erased, your lines are penned
You’re nothing — I’m everything
That’s what makes me better
That’s what makes me better

What Makes Me Better - Fleetway Version (Super Sonic Song)

Brandnew track from upcoming STEELWING-album "Reset, Reboot, Redeem" out on www.noiseart.eu Nov 20th 2015!

Out of the union of five zealous headbangers, the post-
apocalyptic metal outfit Steelwing was established in 2009 and quickly joined the vanguard of the rising Swedish traditional heavy metal scene. Within months of releasing the first demo, a management and record deal had already been secured.
The following years Steelwing honed their skills in a trial by fire on a crusade across Europe. Touring in support of giants such as Accept, Blind Guardian and Sabaton, the young Swedes conquered new grounds with their energetic live shows and punk attitude. From massive arenas to small club stages, Steelwing would soon come to prove themselves a worthy headliner name in their own right during the following tours of Europe and South America.
The vocal acrobatics, synchronized twin-guitar blitzkrieg and fierce rhythm section proved to be a winning combination in the studio as well: from the critically acclaimed debut album “Lord of the Wasteland” (2010) to the hit-packed sophomore release “Zone of Alienation” (2012) and the highly anticipated reinvention due for release in 2015, dystopian visions and uncompromised quality have always been reliable constants in the Steelwing doctrine.
The album, aptly titled „Reset, Reboot, Redeem“ is due for release on November 20th. It was recorded, mixed and co-produced by Swedish death metal legend Fred Estby (Necronaut, The Dagger, ex-Dismember) at Gutterview Recorders, with additional parts recorded by Nicko DiMarino in Deep Blue Studios where the band‘s early sound was once formed.
Conceptually Steelwing continue to develop on the post-apocalyptic themes of the previous two albums. Where “Lord of the Wasteland” focused on Mad Max-esque highway marauders and “Zone of Alienation” described mutant-infested havens in outer space, “Reset, Reboot, Redeem” take on a more serious misanthropic note: the current flawed state of mankind must be sacrificed to pave way for a trans-humanistic new breed - or all life on Earth will face extinction. One of many firsts for this album is a song in the band’s native tongue: “Och världen gav vika” (translation: “And the World Collapsed”).
