The Resigned
from It's Only Midnight by Deathgrave
lyrics
The Resigned
Awaken barely breathing
Shivering and seizing
I have somewhere to be to feed my family
I call into work at a quarter to five
Green in the cheeks and hardly alive
Clenching the phone I call once again
But no one answers the other end
If I call 911 the ambulance will come
I get up to suck it up
Instantly I upchuck
If I can't go to work, I can't pay my bills
There's medical cost and prescription pills
Bills I cannot afford to pay
Still I lie in bed to decay
Forehead is burning
All my guts are churning
For rest I am yearning
Rent I am not earning
Reluctantly I will work
Arteries pump and jerk
Then I show up ready to go
But my body will not forego
Resigned!
Awaken barely breathing
Shivering and seizing
I have somewhere to be to feed my family
I call into work at a quarter to five
Green in the cheeks and hardly alive
Clenching the phone I call once again
But no one answers the other end
If I call 911 the ambulance will come
I get up to suck it up
Instantly I upchuck
If I can't go to work, I can't pay my bills
There's medical cost and prescription pills
Bills I cannot afford to pay
Still I lie in bed to decay
Forehead is burning
All my guts are churning
For rest I am yearning
Rent I am not earning
Reluctantly I will work
Arteries pump and jerk
Then I show up ready to go
But my body will not forego
Resigned!

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.
