Originally recorded as a bonus track on the cassette release of "Remembrance", this is a cover of the infamous Death song. This digital format is only available exclusively on Bandcamp for now, on the 20th anniversary of Chuck Schuldiner's passing, and in absolute honor and memory of the The Philosopher.
lyrics
Built from blind faith
Passed down from self-induced fantasy
Turn a page to justify
Conjuring power - it opens wide
On your seventh day,
is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger
Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
All the traps are set to confine
All who get in the way of the divine
In sight and in mind of the hypocrite
A slave to the curse forever confined
Shatter the myth
Don't cut yourself
On your words against
dreams made of steel
Stronger than any faith
That inflicts pain and fear,
is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger
Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn

Life Has Gone On Long Enough proves that production does matter in black metal sometimes. The mood it generates befits what should be considered a Master Class in dsbm. Aprilmist
