Place built on trampled bodies Diseased and paralysed Buried where they fell dead Like crippled insects Raised from blackened soil Steel monstrosity Rising skyward From the gutter to the gods Open wound on the land Infection Virus spreading From the gutter to the gods Birth of a nation Baptised in blood Island universe Cage of surreal being This flawed masterpiece Of their own making Raised from blackened soil Steel monstrosity Rising skyward From the gutter to the gods Open wound on the land Infection Virus spreading From the gutter to the gods Birth of a nation Baptised in blood Descent into the centre Slaves but none can see Vestige of humanity Words that lured the ignorant Unwise to live with illusions Power lord or fugitive There are no motives without deceit A powerful instrument of control Vultures Circle overhead Fear and threats In spiralling shadows The brave fall Unholy ground Rebellion never formed Empty space A partial radiance Ill conceived notion Looking beyond the scope of reason Looking beyond the scope of reason A glimpse of twisted light Pure will and bone The last to repent They have always been the enemy The enemy How to end this plague Fear of the steps That leave no trace Rising skyward From the gutter to the gods Open wound on the land Infection Virus spreading From the gutter to the gods Birth of a nation Baptised in blood Remorse and regret

Where life ends and naked existence begins Converted will Levels of order Separating being from becoming Nature repressed Butchered horizon Gears Grind Cogs In the machine Blood laced thoughts Gears Grind Cogs In the machine Blood laced thoughts In the machine Uniform inertia A halting of decay Tainted Evolution A revolution from above Monumental in their isolation Malice force fed Blind to intentions An elaboration of processes begin Foundations laid Man made to suffer Gears Grind Cogs In the machine Blood laced thoughts Gears Grind Cogs In the machine Blood laced thoughts In the machine Uniform inertia A halting of decay Tainted Evolution A revolution from above Misery swallowed whole Somewhere Inside things mutating Slowly chasing the sun Beauty seen in the inferno Light guides Lost minds waking On the verge of the ultimate revelation Torn between past and future Reality masking The Real Structures of fiction Answers now known to questions unasked Circular patterns of thoughts and actions Breaking down walls Volonté générale Dawn of consciousness Self transcendence Revolution from below

Worship this stagnation City of scars grows Dispersed and prolonged Resonant voices Echoes Godlike ascension Ghostly confessions Wings burnt by the sun The weight of history Flowing tides of crimson City of scars burns Eyes witness Untold Feelings of mercy Take hold Godlike ascension Ghostly confessions Wings burnt by the sun The weight of history Twisting, faithless Turning into the grave Marching blindly downwards Unknown thoughts in their minds Visons in reverence Curses Fists to the sky Godlike ascension Ghostly confessions Wings burnt by the sun The weight of history Dispersed and prolonged Voices,echoes Eyes witness untold Feelings of mercy take hold

Black insect death Rusting Faiths collapse Lines drawn in dirt Smashed, crushed, severed Delay Deceive Deny An existence once was divine And then the ravens took flight Skies blacken with time Life’s progress in reverse Eighth plague takes control Dirt in the eyes Ashes in throats Cracked glass distorts Hellish visions Desire Despair A sight of the outside forgone And then the ravens took flight Skies blacken with time Life’s progress in reverse Eighth plague takes control They will cover the face of the ground So that it cannot be seen Warnings screamed but no one listens Mistakes are made With self administered doses Tap the vain Poison filling the systems Mercy denied Internal torment Structures and gods left to rot Sinking into the blood and the mire Layers of cruelty and corruption Absorbed by the earth One final glimpse of the light Sworn Death Crawl The depths

Damnation Of Memory 14:20
lyrics

Bleak reality has a cold grip on the land Grand agents of nature are indestructible Sharp reek of diseased metal fills the air Roots within scarcely breathing structures emerge A scornful silence Time slowing down Settling dust New order in place The Earth’s great return Hours turn to days to years Witnessing the dance of a thousand suns Vast hive now deserted Rotten Gutted oblivion Ashes Dirt, nothingness God proposed, man disposed Defined by negatives and absences Ashes Dirt, nothingness Continually Changing Apocalypse Abandoned Crucified Alone In this vision there is no morality to be seen Fading halo Surrendering to the absolute Dissolving Marching from darkened times Rise of the animal angel complete Dubious salvation Past altered The future changed Memories Controlled Perceiving everything Recalling nothing Recalling everything Perceiving nothing False messiahs return Preaching to the blind and nameless Enforced, imposed Nothing has changed Cycle repeats What was seen as triumphs failing Unmatched Phoenix Bursts into flames on sight Preach Enforced Imposed False Preach Enforced Imposed Nameless

about

"The Day of Locusts propensity for dropping hammer-heavy notes and letting them linger sits finely against a progressive way of thought; their song structures leaning close to the progressive lineage of Pink Floyd"

Total Rock Magazine


"From The Gutter To The Gods is simply an unmissable album.
The Day Of Locusts may have created one of the craziest, insane, and exciting debut albums the UK Extreme Metal scene has released this year or any year for that matter"

Steve Howe - Outlaws of the Sun Blog


‘One of the most accomplished albums I have heard this year’
Stu’s Reviews blog
