"The gift of guilt" by Gojira

Gojira:"The gift of guilt", (from the album "L´enfant sauvage", 2012):

We leave the shores to see the mountains rising
A distant impression growing
This judgement creates the pain we hold
Destructive intentions that serve no purpose
But the end of us all
These vultures from the past, coming
In all the hells and worlds, the time has come
Delivered from their eyes
Embrace, suffer, destroy - the gift of guilt
The shame and sorrow, self-condemnation
Fill all the gaps and the spaces, unyielding
Bestowed upon us, devastating power
We´re building connective tissue to a maze of lies
We´re left as starving orphans
The vital core is gone
Our sins are all over and over again we swallow
We´re sick and tired when this wind blows
The reflex is insane
We must forgive and stop blaming ourselves for this love
These vultures from the past, coming
In all the hells and worlds, the time has come
Delivered from their eyes
I´m leaving this behind - the gift of guilt

(lyrics: Joseph Duplantier)

(My nephew is going to be one of the world´s greatest heavy metal-drummers....Seriously :-) Alright, he´s just 8 years old, but he´s definitely on his way to the top of the game....ha ha....And now we are talking best metal-drummers, two of them have to be Mario Duplantier from Gojira and Brann Dailor from Mastodon, especially Dailor....But on the new Gojira-album "L´enfant sauvage", Gojira´s Roadrunner-debut, Mario Duplantier really maintains his high level :-)

The "L´enfant suavage"-album is great, it really is, but to be honest with you, it´s also a little too "Mainstream" for my taste. Sure, it has some very cool songs, like this one "The gift of guilt", but seen as a whole, the album is not that interesting compared to previous Gojira-full-lengths....But that´s just my opinion :-)

See you next time with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics and yet another opinion....And this time we´re heading to Arizona. I´m looking for a job in the States....No, I´m actually not, but....well....you know :-)

Kind regards
