Resistance

[Life preferred to stronger]
When [wings gather at the site]
In the mirror of eternity
Different colors different [lives]

And we're never gonna find the answer in a normal way
Staring at the walls of life, soon they will decay
Is our life just decadence or selfish style
Are we just numbers in a forgotten file

Justice [distrusting and you'll find] disgust
Using control and consuming lust
Take [care and beware the dark dream yourself]
This will look [from the grim where tomorrow lays so poor]

Black [and your] words [of peace distrust]
[concreting parasyte from in the dark]
Take [care and beware the dark dream yourself]
This will look [from the grim where tomorrow lays so poor]

Resistance - re - sis - tance
Resistance - re - sis - tance

Justice [distrusting and you'll find] disgust
Using control and consuming lust
Take [care and beware the dark dream yourself]
This will look [from the grim where tomorrow lays so poor]

Black [and your] words [of peace distrust]
[concreting parasyte from in the dark]
Take [care and beware the dark dream yourself]
This will look [from the grim where tomorrow lays so poor]

And we're never gonna find the answer in a normal way
Staring at the walls of life, soon they will decay
Is our life just decadence or selfish style
Are we just numbers in a forgotten file


The Art of Sinking

[growing up] peacefull, [strange to lies]
[deformed] control, Is the power [where it lies]
Now [do you ways], You are [too wise]
[frosty comparison] life

You, who is the prophet
Retrubution for you from

[bring expendable pain, oppression loose]
Seconds become days, [depressive boots]
See them marching
[understand no point] going down
Lost to suffer and to drown

[navigating] of machinery
In what we've ever been

Light from the art of sinking
Light from the art of sinking

So I don't understand why you talk to me
And I don't understand what this should mean

[bring expendable pain, oppression loose]
Seconds become days, [depressive boots]
See them marching
[understand no point] going down
Lost to suffer and to drown

Nothing [changed so cool as] you
Cause everything is all of you
Nothing stands in your [enemy]
Cause [it figures] just the same

[kill the rabbits] to their eyes
[cause the like] the bloody lies
[keep no justice] at your brain
[cause it figures] just insane

Lies or death
Just choose lies or death


Submission

As the eyes stare everywhere
The flood of [lies spells down]
To clean the mind of everyone
To clean it on my own

As the eyes stare everywhere
No seed will ever grow
As my eyes stare inside me
I feel the [parish fall]

[the sad ache] of my visions
And I feel they're not too far
The ethic evolution [corrodes]

[a rapture over] chaos
And I see what this [all means]
[confusion] is born to suffer
The situation is infected by all

I [have] submission, I feel submission
Submission, I feel submission
And I'm a part of it

We're [dominators] to the end
We isolate and we pretend
We rescue and we [don't care]
We make this world [where it bloody stands]

We just know [from where] we come
We [bother of the lies] scum
I know the end is not too far
Too far to help me

[the sad ache] of my visions and I know they're not too far
The ethic evolution [corrodes] in what we are
Now we try to research [from lies we're hardly in]
Now we try to [reject] whose fault all this has been


Under the Surface

Deep under the surface of your educated minds
There's a beast [roaming the punctures]
Looks like race persistance

Every day we see the regression
All [the man] just so sick
In a fortress of aggression
Who [get to proclaim] death

Every race and culture
[made us feel we're insecure]
But when we are in trouble
Law is out of [action]

Every day we see the regression
And it seems like all is lost
In a fortress of aggression
Who [always has been the] cost

It's the end of [mankind's union]
The reflection of our greed
As we rise we fall, do you wonder at all
All rain will come to an end

[knifes cut wounds] so deep
But we still want to deny
That we're just another creature
In the history of life

I believe in [just illusion]
Human is [the just distracts]
Now we come to this conclusion
There must be something deep under the surface

There's no trust and peace
Cause we [can deceit]
All [victory and daydream]
Look like race persistance

The end of [mankind's union]
The reflection of our greed
As we rise we fall, do you wonder at all
All rain will come to an end

[knifes cut wounds] so deep
But we still want to deny
That we're just another creature
In the history of life


Drowning Sun

Land [in flight, quicker] creatures [in the grind]
With [hold their heads], stumbeling around
Sky [in black, figures we're all mutilated]
With cold eyes, broken eyes, [it's just not worth] to survive

Through the [forest of what's own]
[shred the] technical errors
Let them face the fact they're alone
With the drowning sun

A sky in black
Touch the sun
No turning back
Nowhere to run

Don't try to hide from the radiation, toxication
See the sky in black and the drowning sun
[life] born into a [fortress of a] termination, deformation
No one to blame [but] everyone

Back from dream of the one that should not be
I raise my hands to the warming sun
Still so real the [edge of each] catastrophe
The black sky and the drowing sun

A sky in black
Touch the sun
No turning back
Nowhere to run

Don't try to hide from the radiation, toxication
See the sky in black and the drowning sun
[life] born into a [fortress of a] termination, deformation
No one to blame [but] everyone


War Inside

[the steel way]
You are [worth] the strain

Just a word from me
You aren't worth to be
[forced] by my own hand, no
[howl your life]
It's how you try to release the ability
[and they get you in depression]

Consume your own god
Connect the strings

War inside those head [to never] criticise themselves [but it's yours]
Now we see any way we can return from the past

[war is the way to reteliate when we all discover the lies]
No respect for [the domination] is able to pay this price
Stay [and way from broken dreams] like others try to do to you
Just be you and let your feelings come through

[war is the way to reteliate when we all discover the lies]
No respect for [the domination] is able to pay this price
Torn [our living] blow away

War inside those head [to never] criticise themselves [but it's yours]
Now we see any way we can return from the past
Walking and talking together is [this peace] forever
Why don't we communicate
[hunting and counting the million faces we are burning]
Just one mind, just one way

[war is the way to reteliate when we all discover the lies]
No respect for [the domination] is able to pay this price
[they try to do us in] easy way to drop
To reinstate the [domination they had put us up]

[war is the way to reteliate when we all discover the lies]
No respect for [the domination] is able to pay this price
[they try to do us in] easy way to drop
To reinstate the [domination they had put us up]


Golden Age

What machinery can create [forcing bodies] to the rhythm
Be a part of it [it's your machine, life can be forever]
Deny all this, you used to live for and let your impulse go
[beshelter you grief, last miss the clue]
[and show your ears to the pain that rose]

Now [that I can walk] this way [power in spring]
[or mine and soon] will stay [wait for the crying line]

All that wasn't fun to be [decidable] is dead, is gone
Conform [a deep respect] for personality [is right, we're wrong]
See my friend, what matters in this grief place is what you feel
Tell me, what do you feel
Just don't ask [and try] to look behind it all cause money
[just not the mountening] questions

All that wasn't fun to be [decidable] is dead, is gone
Conform [a deep respect] for personality [is right, we're wrong]
See my friend, what matters in this grief place is what you feel
Tell me, what do you feel
Just don't ask [and try] to look behind it all cause money
[just not the mountening] questions

Review



With 'Odium' Morgoth changed their musical style somewhat. It's still very brutal death metal, but there are a lot of industrial influences in it now. And it's only made the music better I think. They sound a lot more mature and original now. Even the songs just seem better written now, as they don't sound alike very much anymore. Personally I think this album is one of the highlights of 1994.
