Epitaph (C-Tec Cover)

Band: Batavia
Album: Graveyard
Year: 2020

Lyrics
Eye for eye
Wrath for wrath
A crippled show of force
Puppet show of flesh
Claw for claw
Armed to the toothless gaping maw
Sardonic egomania

Welding righteous flame
Claiming fruitless ash
Wound for wound
Iconoclast en masse

Scab Mask

Love for love's
Browbeating ideologues
Warlord slave masters
Child exploiters
Eye for eye
Blind begets blind
Nesting pillaged earth
Your bastard father's birthright

Welding righteous flame
Claiming fruitless ash
Wound for wound
Iconoclast en masse

Graveyard

Scab Mask

Artist: Batavia
Album: Quite Mean Spirited
Year: 2020
Lyrics
Dressed up in ego and
Pressed up to black or to blue
Craving a nation that's
Caving to notions of
Only you

Death tolls are rising
But anger is driving you on
With nothing in common
Humanity's all but
Long long gone

Fellow like-minded but
Only one-sided
When all of them are gone
They will take you
All that you wanted to be
What you wanted to see

When it falls
It will take you down

Lyrics

With one clear eye
You see the smile
Tasting my lips
Thrilling up my skull and
Down to my painted fingertips

Hold out your hand
Hold out your arms
Let me in

Green Fairy in a bottle
You loved me and I loved me too
Sugar on my tongue
Lingers in my mouth

Stay here and kiss me again

With a cloudy eye
Pretend you cant see the
Fishhook snarled in my lip

Running running running away
The weight of the hate is grating
My thighs
And sways from my hips

The ear of Van Gough
The late Mrs Jean Lanfray
Dorian Gray's better angels
Drown in the louche

Recoiling hand
Pushing away
I'm coming in
Anyway

You hated me and I hate me too
Splinters in my tongue
Blood in my mouth

Stay here and take it again

First you see things as you wish they were
Second you see them as they are not
Finally you see things as they really are
And that is the most horrible thing in the world

The Absinthian

Industrial metal cover of Duran Duran's 'All She Wants Is', from our debut EP, Graveyard:

All She Wants Is (Duran Duran cover)

like sitting under a sail on a windy day
death is in my sight today
like the smell of lotus flowers sitting on the shore of drunkenness
death is in my sight today
like a path washed by rain
like a man coming home from an expedition
death is in my sight today
.
In the fields we played
I remember
the dreams of days you'd stay
.
like the skies clearing
like a man grasping what he didn't know before
death is in my sight today
.
Everything we are
we were
I can't bear
leaving all that we are
we were
dying there
When all that remains
is memories of days
The fields of gray that were
ashes of yesterday
.
Hold my hand
Walk with me.
.
All fled - All done
so lift me on the pyre
The feast is over
and the lamps expire
