Plague

This plague of men
This plague of men
This plague of men
Their time is fleeting
This plague of men
They hunt us into shadows
They bring with them
Their weapons and their pain
We sacrifice
Our mothers and our sisters
But they don’t know
What beasts lie wait in children
They bring the fire which will sedate us
While sleeping beasts lie wait in children
When they break through our lines
Open up and smile
Feed the fire
It’s almost over
Another tyrant will rise
We’re choking on his lies
Feed the fire
It’s almost over
A child was born
We lead him to the altar
An offering
In penance for our sins
We can survive
On the whispers of the young ones
For they can never know
What beasts lie wait in children
We won’t submit to their masters
While sleeping beasts lie wait in children
When they break through our lines
Open up and smile
Feed the fire
It’s almost over
Another hero dies
We’re laughing at their cries
Feed the fire
It’s almost over

Disappear

Disappear now
We disappear now
Disappear now
We disappear
Crowded in this house and yet we’re all alone
In this broken house we’re never growing old
In a made up world to keep the madness out
Can you hear the fighting
Can you hear the fighting
Again, and again
Again and again and again
Over and over
Run for cover
In this house of madness
Disappear now
We disappear now
Disappear now
We disappear
Did you find a loving god to save your soul
Did you find a way of never growing old
I wished I could save you but I ran away
Can you hear the fighting
Can you hear the fighting
Again, and again
Again and again and again
Don’t tell mother
Run for cover
In this house of madness
Disappear now
We disappear now
Disappear now
We disappear

Is there anything left to fight for
Is there anywhere left to run
Is there any shred of hope left on this wretched path
For what I’ve become
Here we are, again
The precipice
While all roads burn behind
Let the flood come
Raise me up
Let the water
Fill my cup
While the ones that we left behind
Lost their way
Lost their lives
Lost their minds
Is there any point holding to the past
When the heart is begging to be free
I get so scared of being alone
And yet, it’s all we’ll ever be
All debts must be paid
In blood and pain
There’s only one way through
Let the flood come
Swallow me up
Let the water
Fill my lungs
While the ones that we left behind
Lost their way
Lost their lives
Lost their minds
Let the flood come
Raise me up
Let the water
Fill my cup
While the ones that we left behind
Lost their way
Lost their lives
Lost their minds

No Forgiveness
03:09
|
|||
The beginning of an end
A time of fear
For the ones we must protect
We hold so dear
While the talons of a beast
Dig in our backs
As we scream into the void
Praying they won’t break us
They won’t break us
They won’t break us
They won’t break us
In the darkness of the night
We mourn our past
With the future laid to rest
We’ve little left
There may not be much hope
But I have desire
To spit into their faces
They won’t break us
They won’t break us
They won’t break us
They won’t break us
Usher in a new world while the old dies screaming
Watch the fallen idols in this painful rebirthing
Rage is love
That doesn’t shy from violence
When our turn comes
We won’t ask forgiveness
A reflection of a world
That could have been
We’re haunted by the lives
We could have lived
Still we wake up every day
And choose the same
We somehow lost our way
No one else will save us
No one will save us
Don’t let them break us
Don’t let them break us

Stay
04:59
|
|||
This seed of doubt
Grows in me like a tumor
I’ll wait one more day
Pray it won’t last forever
The golden vision of the dawn
It’s ever fleeting
And now I rarely see the sun
It’s alway gray
Alone, waiting
To become something different
And if I stay
will I find what I’m missing
The soothing voice that fills my head
It’s all too quiet
It turns to ashes in my throat
It chokes my song
If I stay, will it change
Will it always be this way
If I stay, will it change
Will it always be this way
If I stay, will it change
Will it always be the same
If I stay, if I stay
Trapped in cold skin
Each crawling minute taunts me
Walls closing in
Where is the solace I desire
A warm reliefs sings in my blood
And wraps around me
But it won’t last for very long
I come undone
Too late to change
Or is it just beginning
This bed I’ve made
A mausoleum or a shrine
Only those who’ve touched the dark
Can really see you
A smile that hides a desperate prayer
Just one more day
One more day
If I stay, will it change
Will it always be this way
If I stay, will it change
Will it always be this way
If I stay, will it change
Will it always be the same
If I stay, if I stay

Wolves
03:52
|

Don’t look back
It’s fight or flight
The secrets that you keep won’t see the light
Running so the wolves don’t catch you
Running but they’re right beside you
Late at night
City streets
Crawling out of windows, fire escapes
I can hear the wolves they’re howling
One by one, they come
Keep your eyes wide open
Friend or foe
Truth or lies
Sniffing at you fear with hungry eyes
Running so the light can’t catch you
Running from the pain inside you
Old soul
Running wild
No matter what they say you’re still a child
Remember that we can’t go back
We can’t go back, we can’t
Girl, keep your eyes wide open
Keep your eyes wide open
So don’t look back
It’s fight or flight
The secrets that you keep might take your life
Running from the lies they taught you
Running from the truth that haunts you
All alone
City streets
Crawling out of windows, fire escapes
I can hear the wolves they’re howling
One by one, they come
Keep your eyes wide open
Running from the wolves

Sirens

Death from above
I close my eyes
Deep underground
I watch the sky
Turn ghastly and white
I watch the dust
It danced in the light
When the sky comes falling down
When the sky comes falling down
We say a prayer to the sickening sound
We say a prayer to the sickening sound
Who waits for me
I hope and I pray
Please take me home
I wait alone
Amongst the dead
They just don’t know it yet
When the sky comes falling down
When the sky comes falling down
We say a prayer to the sickening sound
We say a prayer to the sickening sound
The sirens sound
I hear them call
Death from above
We watch them fall
This can’t be the end
No, this can’t be the end

Cursed
04:26
|
|||
Go on say a prayer
For the weak and the wounded
Hiding out in the shadows
Stalked like an animal
The pain you crave
It’s the same that haunts you
And you want it so bad
But you’ll never be satisfied
Watching the disciples
Feed
Feed
Feed
Feed the curse
Always reaching out
With hands that tremble
You’re just so empty
Just a broken little bird
The voices in your head
Deny you silence
Say you’ll never get enough
No you’ll never be satisfied
Aching with desire
Feed
Feed
Feed
Feed the curse
The void that calls you
Like a distant thunder
The cross you bear
Tries to drag you under
The god of emptiness
Won’t heed your prayers
How to please yourself
When you’ll never be satisfied
Feed
Feed
Feed
Feed the curse

Revenge
03:41
|
|||
Death, Death
Death to the bosses
You wan’t your time, lay down for their line
Do you want the freedom
To choose your oppression
Do you want their lies
Or do you want their lives
Is this what you want
Is this want you want
Do you want peace or revenge
I, I want revenge
It’s time, time for revenge
When we crawl up from the bottom
Death
Death, Death
Death to the owners
We come creeping closer
We’ll take whats ours
You want a war of attrition
You want a seat at the table
Do you want their lies
Or do you want their lives
Is this what you want
Is this want you want
Do you want peace or revenge
I, I want revenge
It’s time, time for revenge
When we crawl up from the bottom
We don’t want peace
We want revenge

Nox Novacula Seattle, Washington
NOX NOVACULA is a deathrock band formed in Seattle in 2017. Since their inception, the group has demonstrated a strong commitment to dark, gothic modes of musical expression. While homage is certainly (and devoutly) paid to their 1980s predecessors, a distinctly modern approach to personal and political struggle places NOX NOVACULA in a category of their own. ... more
