Victim of the Void
from Narcotics & Animal Instincts by Voices In Vain
lyrics
Brought down by the burden
Of hearing dead men whisper
A lifeless form in the corner of the room
Paralyzed, no one can hear
the screams
I feel as though I'm Choking on my useless tongue
This world around me reeks of mold and rot
This room is not the room I know
This bed knows no comfort
This world is not my own
All I taste is the decay
As life slowly fades
With each panicked breath
The claws are cutting deeper
Peeling away lifeless flesh
(Swallowing my consciousness
Muffled shouts barely escape
From Trembling lips
I can not be awake
Trapped in vivid slumber
I am a slave to the emptiness
I am a victim of the void
Trapped in this purgatory
I suffer
Pray to God, to end this game
To once again be in control
I have found that God is dead
Or is choosing to ignore my pleas
Please hear my cries
Time is running out!
I have never begged to you,
Until cold fingers were wrapped around my throat.
Swallowing my consciousness
I finally break free,
Only once again to fall back into sleep
The Emptiness knows me,
The cycle never ends.
So now I will greet the dark,
As my oldest friend
Of hearing dead men whisper
A lifeless form in the corner of the room
Paralyzed, no one can hear
the screams
I feel as though I'm Choking on my useless tongue
This world around me reeks of mold and rot
This room is not the room I know
This bed knows no comfort
This world is not my own
All I taste is the decay
As life slowly fades
With each panicked breath
The claws are cutting deeper
Peeling away lifeless flesh
(Swallowing my consciousness
Muffled shouts barely escape
From Trembling lips
I can not be awake
Trapped in vivid slumber
I am a slave to the emptiness
I am a victim of the void
Trapped in this purgatory
I suffer
Pray to God, to end this game
To once again be in control
I have found that God is dead
Or is choosing to ignore my pleas
Please hear my cries
Time is running out!
I have never begged to you,
Until cold fingers were wrapped around my throat.
Swallowing my consciousness
I finally break free,
Only once again to fall back into sleep
The Emptiness knows me,
The cycle never ends.
So now I will greet the dark,
As my oldest friend

I didn't realize how great Beastmaker were until I put this in and really gave it a good listen. Man, if anyone ever sounded like the mighty Black Sabbath it's these guys and that's a major compliment! Sabbath made me the metalhead I am today. So super happy to discover these guys. Guitar tone is heavy as shit and the singer has that creepy Ozzy sound that's perfect for this music. Beastmaker are the classic Sabbath sound circa 1970. I play this all the time.

This is an immersive introduction to a posse of rough riders that might just surprise you with the way they throw together doom metal, post-rock, and slide guitars.

I'm sad to see this era of Beastmaker close out but this is a phenomenal way to do! Black Butterfly might be the best thing they've ever done.
