"Red-skinned scapegoat" by Cryptopsy, (with lyrics)

Cryptopsy:"Red-skinned scapegoat", (from the album "Cryptopsy", 2012):

Shackled and
confined within this
tiny cell
I await punishment
for a crime I did not
commit
Flies and rats ac-
company me here
The bars gleam moist
with condensation
As I sit throughout
my last sunrise
This tiny island was
called Admiral when
I first arrived
Now it´s overpopu-
lated and infested
Framed for murder
Another red-skinned
scapegoat
My hatred of diver-
sity condemned me
The man they
believed I killed
Was sitting at peace
when he was shot in the back
His dinning room
table became his
deathbed
Flimsy evidence sup-
porting an airtight
case
The murder weapon
misplaced
Fallen coinciden-
tally to the bottom
of the lake
His wife glared at me
in the courtroom a
devilish stare I will
never forget
her tear-streaked
face
Radiated with a glint
of hope as the judge
revealed his verdict
So now I wait as the
sun slowly rises
Counting my last
hours
Pleading for
forgiveness
Although I am
guiltless
The time has now
arrived they are
standing outside
my chamber
The noose has been
set and the crowd
has gathered
The noon sun blinds
me, as I approach the
gallows
So much so that I
can´t see my family
weeping at the back
of the square
Tied and bound with
a burlapsac
over my head
I can only hear what
they are doing to me
The last thing I
perceive is the gasp
of the crowd
Just before the rope
swings taut

Framed for murder
Another red skinned
scapegoat
Left to hang
In another´s man
place
Framed for murder
Another red-skinned
scapegoat
Eternal red-skinned
scapegoat

(Actually I ain´t that familiar with canadian extreme deathsters....CRYPTOPSY, but I´m working hard on this obviously strong band :-) Oh....no....I mean, I take my time: NO NEED TO RUSH :-) Until now, I´ve "only" listened to two Cryptopsy-killers....last year´s phenomenal "Cryptopsy" and its predecessor, from 2008, "The unspoken king". To be honest "The unspoken...." seems to me less....erm....dangerous :-) than the new one, but no matter I like "The unspoken...." too!

Today´s update, "Red-skinned scapegoat", is....well....fascinating in different ways. The titel alone! However it was the jazz-part of the song, that really got me into "Red-skinned....". (I can´t help it, I´m jazz-influenced thanks to my father :-)). But....but....but....this song is more than jazz and an awesome songtitel, it´s also death-songwriting at its best. In fact this catchy and damned fine track, sent directly from....erm....heaven, keeps growing everytime, I listen to it....So why not share it with you :-)

See you next time with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics and this time we´re heading back to the States. It´s all about suffering...."THE MULLEN-WAY"!!!!!!!

See you :-)

Kind regards
Carsten

"The line between" by Baroness, (with lyrics)

Baroness:"The line between", (from the album "Yellow & green", 2012):

I turned my head up and the sky was empty
I wasn´t looking for paradise
And when I asked for comfort from the land of plenty
I came to realize...

You have taken this for granted
Please don´t take it all away

Feel the light of day. Feel it fade away
Walk the line between the righteous and the wicked
And tomorrow I´ll be gone...

I thrust my hands in ´til the nerves all went cold
I tasted silver and I tasted gold
And when the bandage lifted, our scars were newborn
We still felt everything...

I have taken this for granted
Please don´t take it all away

Feel the light of day. Feel it fade away
Walk the line between the righteous and the wicked
And tomorrow I´ll be gone...

Feel the light of day. Feel it fade away
Walk the line between the righteous and the wicked
And tomorrow I´ll be gone...
And tomorrow I´ll be gone...

(lyrics: John Dyer Baizley)

(In this very moment I´m listening to Clutch´ latest full-length "Earth rocker"....AND IT´S ABSOLUTELY GREAT ENTERTAINMENT! Yes, I´m in a rock´n roll-phase, but don´t you worry, in this phase some extreme records are hitting my ears too....Proof to be shown soon :-)

This EXTREMEly late update, (sorry for that :-)), is from a band, that....well....actually are sounding more like mighty Mastodon than Clutch, but they´re not that far from Neil Fallon & Co. The band in case: Savannah´s BARONESS....

One can´t surely blame Baroness for being superficial....Last year´s third full-length, the double disc "Yellow & green" is not only a varied collection of quality-tracks within the sludge metal-genre,  it´s also a journey into some of the darkest corners in life. The more I listen to "Yellow & green", the more layers of pain I find, so maybe it´s about time quitting the album....ha ha....Whatever "Yellow & green" is going to be one of my favorites of all times, there´s simply no way I can deny it :-)

The choice for this update ran between "Eula" and "The line between" and after ENDLESS SLEEPLESS NIGHTS....(no, just joking :-))...."The line between" finally convinced me! Great great song, and in fact one of the heaviest songs included on the whole double-album....ENJOY :-) and....

....see you next time with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics and this time we´re heading to....CANADA!! I don´t think, we´ve been there before in the history of HEAVY-SKOV, and....well....let me put it short: Some extreme chaotic "noise" is in wait :-)

See you!

Kind regards
Carsten
