We waged a war against what’s left forsaken
For we all need to prey on life
To be Obscure it’s like to be forgotten,
And what is left behind is what we never wished for.
We waged a war against what’s haunting us,
Beasts that haunt our paths and flay our fair souls.
To be Obscure it’s like to be forgotten
And what is onwards may never rest.
We will never stop thriving on our paths,
Paths that paved with words and seen by no one.
And we will never stop hunting down the beasts that haunt us.
And we all walk these obscure paths,
We need these beasts to haunt us,
For we all walk those obscure paths of life,
We are all haunted by our options.
We searched for saviors but we only found thoughts.
Dire thoughts are ever doubtful.
To be Obscure it’s like to be forgotten
And what is onwards may never save you.
We kept on moving on our safe old road.
We kept on moving but we found a dead end.
We should have never walked those obscure paths.
Paths that are only paved with words.
We should have never walked these obscure paths.
Paths are meant to pave with souls.
We hadn’t tried to chase what differs.
We all craved for security and solace.
So we either keep on walking on those obscure paths
And find our peace along the road.
Or we’ll just stray from our certain path
And let the change caress our souls.

These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
