Praise and Negation - Lyrics - Ulcerate

Auckland, New Zealand-based unorthodox death metal act Ulcerate was formed by guitarist Michael Hoggard and drummer Jamie Saint Merat in 2000 with the aim of creating, dark oppressive death metal. This focus has since developed and metamorphosed into a far more dynamic approach with a fully realised sense of atmosphere and mood, while furthering their foray into the darker end of the genreâs spectrum.

Blame tarred with cursed ivory brush Halos to sever heads of those below Two millennia with faded words to burn Fall to your knees or immolate your soul Lungs filled with black Cough of the wretched I can taste the soot on my tongue Deny the idle threats of those empty smiles For deceit and dreams ofen are one This skewed reality, dizzying and sweet Open hands to trap the moth Corrupt veins pump soured blood The trap is set, poison awash Heads to turn for the promises betray Chisel to stone with the world to pay With the eyes to the sky, faith begat misery With eyes to the sky, the world shall burn away I rise, for I can stand alone
