1.
Time moves forward, day by day without deviation Pressing its hand against the straining back of everything under its influence Disgust A species born in chaos, unyielding in the face of annihilation Contempt Inhale the stench of deceit to disgrace the deepest part of your soul A sickening blackness Hatred Organization of doctrine bleeding lies from every orifice Disgrace stripping your soul from its fragile skeleton Because this is the way of the world and this is the dilemma of the anima
2.
The mind ruptures, splits and folds Memory triggers a consciousness so vast Swallowed whole by the machine of oppression Is it possible to circumvent predestination? Dichotomy - Pathos and Euphoria Pulled from two different directions under the strain of animation A seed planted long ago amplifies Twisting like a fucking nauseous nightmare Asphyxiating on the vile obscenity so hard I feel my own jaw snap Time lapses, these branches expand towards the stars with an illusory purpose This forest has been tainted A rancid philosophy slithers This forest has been fucking tainted This contagion slithers across the ground Poisoning the roots of the inexperienced Down to the core, the mind ruptures Ravaged by the machine of fucking oppression Roots are trivial in a ground so corrupt Dichotomy is all we ever fucking know Ravaged by the machine of fucking oppression These roots spread to the core, ravaged by the machine of oppression Roots are trivial in a ground so corrupt Disease spreads, a systemic lack of inhibition We must uproot the corruption that lies beneath our sacred forest Poisoning, disgracing, killing everything that we have ever upheld to the stars
3.
A shroud of aberration descends far and wide Ubiquitous, we are troubled by the obscure A concept that is undefinable, twisted and brutalized to fit our capacity An elucidation harvested from corrupted minds We are blanketed in twilight, a night that will not end This night will never fucking end Nefarious men walk the streets, knocking on the doors of puberty An indescribable disgust, so fucking vile Protected by the inner circle, insatiable smiles spread across their painted masks Their lights need to be extinguished These animals must be fucking put down Exploitation to the highest degree Why do we bow to the degenerates? Why do we bow? Heinous fucking deeds from the cretins in charge How dare we bow to the cretins in charge
4.
Crawl forward on your knees, bow low your fucking head Scraping the flesh across the blind eyes of the populous beneath you Inhale the anguish dripping from the pores of the faithful Anencephalic legion Pores of the faithful dripping, gushing, spewing disease A justification of the most heinous ideals, veiled behind a false narrative, a fabricated guise Distorted smiles through gritted teeth, doing anything for personal gain Pretending to aid everyone in need with sabotage at the forefront You know you were born to die No amount of self-deception will cure you of your doom There is no hell, there is no end You have created it here on earth with your fucking disgusting paradigm One day we will be gone but not because of deity Save me for this life is not what I perceive Drown as I sift through the lies only to find truth through my eyes I can't rely on faith Close the book or find peace when I lay down to die
5.
A collective power reigns supreme Pulsating together, a hivemind of blissful ignorance Decay rises as the plague of denizens spread like mold We are the end This land is fucking choking Every square inch fucking raped, ravaged, devastated beyond recognition The unstoppable cadence of time marches towards oblivion Delusion drips from the gaping mouths Despondency flows from the slit wrists splashing across the ground An insurmountable ruination was cast long ago An infinitesimally small stain on the memory of the universe We are all fucking animals, nothing more We will soon be forgotten Entropy in every interaction from social to physical We will soon fucking be forgotten Oscillating between fear and complacency, the great divide This repugnant grandiosity is the aphorism to our existence Intelligence, a gross fallacy, a polluted term attached to a self-loathing animal A luminous statistical anomaly is drowning in this contagion

about

Dilemma of the Anima EP by Luck Wont Save You released on June 15th, 2018. The album's concept focuses on humankinds inability to take possession of the damage and corruption that it causes to itself and the planet. Typical of LWSY's style this EP focuses on progressive writing and a dichotomy of melodic and dissonant sections.

The album also contains some amazing guest vocals and guitar solos from some prominent members of the metal community.
