lyrics

softly she weeps
dressed for her execution
she sits in repose
ready to die
by the hand of absolution

lacrymarial stains on velvet
don’t let them see
the tears you cry alone don’t diminish the sins you keep

poised and attentive
swings the smiling gleaming steel
in the the late winters sunlight
sorrow reveals

the ghosts of heretics
hover silently
the final judgement
she’ll die piously

loved the world with
all her heart
displayed so violently

dressed for her execution
she sits in repose
ready to die
by the hand of absolution
dressed for her execution

in jeweled regalia
and resplendent gown
a veil of gossamer
soon lonely crown

crucifix in hand
she calls his holy name
pleads for retribution
but he never came

deny her pardon
despite her pleas
behind her eyes
blasphemy

behead the zealot
behold the splendor
of freshest blood
spilled from throat so tender

deliver her
from her wicked deeds
it won’t be enough
it’s never enough

cloaked in darkness he comes
forgive me he begs
heavy is the burden of the one who holds the blade

lay me down gently
for my final slumber
oh happy axe
let thy kiss be soft,
and deep,
and quick

about

Undulation Seattle, Washington

Behind an oozing velvet curtain stand Undulation, Le Gran Guignol of Cascadia. Through the dappled sunlight of broken rose windows, their ritual begins like a writhing, pulsating wyrm thirsty for innocent blood. Painting a horrid beauty like gallows in a field of flowers, their cacophony blooms into a blurred, surreal vision of melodic blackened death metal. Undulation cometh. ... more

Ψευδομένη
by Ὁπλίτης

supported by 63 fans who also own “Dressed for Her Execution”

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace! David Fischer
