World Turned Hell
DAMIM
Cursed to a world, extinguished
Persist in existence
Defiant of the tyrant who reigns, intractable
Lost in the tortuous meanders of grief
The mantra distorts like a spell
Reality subverted, reversed
Resentment for a world turned hell
In the beginning, the heavens fell below the earth
Consecrated by a new nausea
No chant of poignant resonance
No appeal to the ancient
Or covenant of injustice
Can this vehemence appease
By the blood of the innocent
Dispossessed of their lives
By the ineffable, eternal
This banner of conviction
This seal of indifference
Bestowed in deafening silence
A wisdom only the pain of grief can yield
A wound no earthly sojourn can heal
To a world of pain and ugliness
With eyes now truly open
With a parting kiss of agony
The heavy wine of oblivion
Shrouded in the livery
Of the unforgiven
Lost in the tortuous meanders of grief
The mantra distorts like a spell
Reality subverted, reversed
Resentment for a world turned hell

To Catch A Falling Knife
DAMIM
to whom these walls are set to free
behold the throne of alienation
To prise apart conflicting deflections
Heed the price of Inaction…. inaction...
Sickened with a torpid heat
eternal night encroaching on another existence
I cannot explain what’s happening
Shattering nausea permeates
The omen resonates
Rise below the beyond, saturate
With sufferance ascribed to weakness
Frozen into the pantheon
A recent death in the family had brought it to my attention
It seems I may have been running out of life
A bitter song within their hearts
Our will to change the universe
Ineffable with clarity
A language only I can fathom
Among the thoughts not meant to be
A darker world that I envision

In A Language They Understand (live)
DAMIM
It’s been a while since the flint of entropy ignited the simian mind,
With dreams of power and distrust – only death is real!
With a world set back centuries and wolves at the door;
When there is no room for new ideas – only death is real!
Only death is real!
Forcing distasteful convictions,
A narrative by blackmail and coercion.
Rejecting the facts: unholy zeal
Repulsed by the acts: religious, secular
Gaze into the void – inaccessible…
Beyond transfinite ordinal…
Deep into the world of the unfathomable…
Comrades embrace, saluting the martyr,
Ignore the pungent reminder
That no deconstruction or contrition will spare the blind
Let those with eyes to see.
For the souls that inhabit the air,
And bodies cast into the ground:
Consumed to the world – your disharmony is mine!
Within your heart of bronze the absence of mercy.
Go forth: create a world unlike any.
Change the course of existence,
Remake the image of man!

Descendant Of Amalek
DAMIM
I hope you never find peace
I wish you'd never been born
Abject being
Grotesque mind existing to uphold
Abhorrent simian traits perverse
Joy through another's pain
Self-appointed God
Without compass to steer this ship of fools
In a spiral drown
Down to the adoration
of what must be excised
Execrated seams to venerate
Will you choose to Evolve
Or suffer your human tragedy
The time will come to pass
When I shall wish a death upon innocents
And neglect the ones who love me
Why am I afraid to long for nothing else
You Too can join me
Embrace - be free
from the shackles of empathy
Candid frames of narcissism stick
Narcissus sick, narcissus sick - you make me wretch
Enamoured with evil psychology
Nothing can save you
From your own cold dead heart
Drink deep from the well of bitterness

Nightmares fire the imagination.
Featuring two brand new tracks and two live tracks, "World Turned Hell" is DAMIM's fourth official release and first EP.
