lyrics
Everything I said, I meant it, to the bone
I swear on myself and everything I own
You wretch, you parasitic cancer of the earth
Or a good, yet deceptive friend, for what it’s worth
You split my fucking soul in half and left it on the ground
And now I’m stuck to this earth and stuck to this sound
And sometimes I wonder what would happen to us
Just two lost souls sacrificed to distrust
And when I finally die and my demons make me pay
Or when the branch snaps and I finally go insane
I’m sure that you’ll hold my carcass like we used to be
But make damn sure you tell them everything they didn’t see
And whatever’s left of me inside of you
Hold it dearly, hold it proud, like I expect of you
Because I’m gone forever, I’m an empty cage
Just a husk of humanity, waiting for life to change
I’m lying dead down in the snow tonight
Something that I’ve done, was it so right?
Why try and stop your fate when it is here?
My deed is done and now my mind is clear
I swear on myself and everything I own
You wretch, you parasitic cancer of the earth
Or a good, yet deceptive friend, for what it’s worth
You split my fucking soul in half and left it on the ground
And now I’m stuck to this earth and stuck to this sound
And sometimes I wonder what would happen to us
Just two lost souls sacrificed to distrust
And when I finally die and my demons make me pay
Or when the branch snaps and I finally go insane
I’m sure that you’ll hold my carcass like we used to be
But make damn sure you tell them everything they didn’t see
And whatever’s left of me inside of you
Hold it dearly, hold it proud, like I expect of you
Because I’m gone forever, I’m an empty cage
Just a husk of humanity, waiting for life to change
I’m lying dead down in the snow tonight
Something that I’ve done, was it so right?
Why try and stop your fate when it is here?
My deed is done and now my mind is clear

Like a fast paced horror movie with guitars. Except you never want it to end. Until maybe their next album comes out.

SEND THE SIGNAL
by DANCE WITH THE DEADsupported by 32 fans who also own “Memento Mori”
I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion.
