BULLETS SHOT INTO A FACE
A FACE THAT SCREAMS IN FEAR AND HATE
AND HATE IS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK
YOU LOOK INTO AN OPEN BOOK
AN OPEN BOOK WITH EMPTY PAGES
EMPTY PAGES MEMORIES
MEMORIES LOST TO TIME
TIME IS NO LONGER MINE
MINE IS A PALACE MADE OF AIR
ER IST TEUFEL ICH BIN LEER
LEER DER KOPF ICH BIN IM HIMMEL
HIMMELSFAHRT FUER DUMME LUEMMEL
LUEMMEL LAUFEN FREI HERUM
HERUM HINEIN WIESO WARUM
WARUM KANN ICH DAS ALLES SEHEN
SEHEN HEISST DOCH NICHT VERSTEHEN
VERSTEHEN TUT MICH HIER DOCH KEINER
KEINER HIER FUEHLT SICH NOCH KLEINER 
KLEINER NOCH ALS ICH MICH FUEHLE
FUEHLE NICHTS MEHR ALS DIE KUEHLE
KUEHLE TIEF IN MEINEN KNOCHEN
KNOCHEN WURDEN NICHT GEBROCHEN
GEBROCHEN SIND NUR WILLE UND VERSTAND
VERSTAND IST HIER EH VERBANNT
VERBANNT, VERBOTEN UND VERSTECKT
VERSTECKT DER LETZTE MANN VERRECKT
VERRECKT VERRUECKT PARANOID
PARANOID IST GRENZGEBIET
GRENZGEBIETE MUESSEN SEIN
SIGN HERE AND THEN YOU'RE MINE
I SEND YOU TO THE BATTLEFIELD
THE BATTLEFIELD WILL NEVER YIELD
NEVER YIELD A PEACEFUL WORLD
A PEACEFUL WORLD JUST EMPTY WORDS
EMPTY WORDS ARE SOMETIMES HEARD
HEARD AND OFTENTIMES THEY WORK
THEY WORK A TREAT ON TRUE BELIEVERS
BELIEVERS VICTIMS OF DECEIVERS
DECEIVERS VICTIMS OF THEIR GREED
GREED IS AN AWFUL SIN INDEED
INDEED IT'S GREED THAT DRIVES YOU MORE
MORE LIES BEHIND UNOPENED DOORS
DOORS CAN ALWAYS BE UNLOCKED
UNLOCKED MY MIND WHEN IT WAS BLOCKED

BLOCKED THE MESSAGE OF THE DEMONS
DEMONS HIDE IN EVERY THOUGHT
THOUGHT I COULD CONTROL THE DEVIL
THE DEVIL KNEW THE WAY I FOUGHT
I FOUGHT UNTIL I COULDN'T FIGHT NO LONGER
NO LONGER DO I YEARN TO LIVE
TO LIVE MEANS PAIN AND FEAR TAKE OVER
TAKE OVER MASTER, I WON'T QUIT


I WON'T QUIT THE FIGHT OH DEVIL
DEVIL TAKES ME BY THE HAND
THE HAND IS LEADING ME ASTRAY
I CROSS INTO THE HOLY LAND
I SEE A PARADISE SO LOVELY
FULL OF SONG AND DANCE AND JOY
BUT FULL OF ALL THE EVIL PEOPLE
NO ONE WAS ABLE TO DESTROY
THE ONES WHO LIVED IN WEALTH AND FREEDOM
WHILST SENDING US TO WAR AND DEATH
ENJOY THEIR AFTERLIFE IN HEAVEN
AFTER THEY TAKE THEIR FINAL BREATH
THEIR CHILDREN MEANWHILE RULE BELOW
A PARADISE FOR PARASITES
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE GOD-FAVOURED
BUT THAT THEY ARE, CAN'T BE DENIED

GOD - FAVOURED

From the cassette SenkWaves - A Senkrecht Compilation
senkrecht.bandcamp.com/album/senkwaves-a-senkrecht-compilation

A tribute to CMC
Originally written in April 2012
Recorded, mixed and mastered in February 2022

Cawatana, originally from Békéscsaba, now from Budapest, Hungary has been an active member of the international dark underground music scene for more than 20 years, the current incarnation focusing on darkwave/minimal wave with analog synths and drum machines started to take form around 2018. Their song Splintered was written originally in 2012, but it was recorded only now, exclusively for this compilation. It's a tribute to the Hungarian industrial legend CMC - stripped down minimal wave, or even we could say minimal industrial, pounding drums, tight bass synth, rigid vocals, alienating noises, absolving guitar melodies.

Purchase this track at anastasiadarkwater.bandcamp.com/track/sacrifice

I sacrifice my vanity
I accept my shadow 
upon the ashes of lies 
I cast you out sleepwalker

I release from this karmic cycle
I complete this lesson

I remember 
re-member
awaken
(one, none, god)

set me back to womb
born again

I remember 
re-member
I open to my power
(I am that I am)

I sacrifice my vanity
I accept my shadow
I open to my power
I open to my true will

I remember
re-member
awaken
I am that I am 

New moon in Scorpio ritual release.
Leave behind what no longer serves and re-member, remember, awaken to truth.

Sacrifice

Slow-rolling mix of scorched dark music and experimental techno that touches on the haunting and cathartic as well as all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

This one's a year old - needs a lot of work, but I'd love it if you managed to listen to the whole song - I love the end bit, but feel it only kicks in the way it's meant to if you make it through to where I change the pace somewhat ... 

where a heart should be

And there's just a hole in the chest of the saint where his heart should be
And there's just no truth in anything the lord would see
The sins of the preachers, the sins of the judges remain unseen
And there's just a hole in the chest of the saint where his heart should be


And there are just the words I used to rely upon
A god's instructions taking me to where I belong
And yet I see a world so full of hate and bigotry
A world where lies destroy all trust and democracy


Feverish thoughts in paranoid minds 
A politician's strategic lies, 
Designs to bypass democracy
Attempts to repeat history

SYMBOLISM

-ism
