lyrics

Unabashed with sun in their eyes, their work continues to damn the sky
A callused demanding heart
Moon casts a fortuitous tide, mans reflection adulterous pride
The men who curse the sun

Under dysthymic skies

Violent hands and dichotomous thoughts
To feel beyond, a life that's lost
A plague stricken curse

Egocentric hostile force, conquer all without remorse
Sociopathic wealth a fevered source
Insatiable lust, cyclical violent course

This ornate contemptuous history relegated by individualistic man
Testosterone driven hateful ministry
Mocking life's need for the sun, refuting the seas dependence to the moon
Idols of himself raised where community once hung
These once whispered morals, now carved in stone
Scars of the earth echo in our bones
This noxious oath predicated by father's verse
Disempowering women part of men's true birth

Clouds swarm the sky, pollution grips the sun
Modeled disordered sight, plagued the sun shall become

Clad in shadows lay misogynistic thoughts
Collective of men preserving the hell they have wrought
Beating others as they have beaten their own chest
Infusing apprentices with the vitriol they invest

All shall succumb

The hand the feeds are those of greed
Torturous tactics to guide the seed
Demanding respect as heel breaks the bone
Now thread, future noose now getting sewn
Externalize all guilt, be devoid of shame
Power is in closed fist, the sun sees the rain
For end result compassion can be feigned
Six feet down is where true emotion is lain

The narcissistic father in a familiar scene
The ocean's water relieves him of guilt and crimson
Toxic aggression and barbaric resolve
Machinations to maintain this corrupted prison
This pattern of behavior, as dependable as the tide
Hereditary, a blight on both sides
Masculinity, your fragile hide
Rationalize abuse as demons confide

Praise to the wretched, feeble heart of stone
Idol turned to dust, corrosive dogma overthrown

Hollowed man's choking hand struggling all self-reflection
Primal forcing the sacrifice down, a baptism, let him drown
Hair getting pulled, neck snapping back
Blood adorns your lavish altar, folly of man
Riches, reflection, women,
All others under foot

Cult of man stands at water's crest
Far beyond lay the corpses of the opposition
Organs of sacrifice to bless and ingest
Ocean to drown the sun, ritualistic transfixion
To plummet to earth, to feed the sea
To preserve this power, to maintain, the deed is done
With your empty riches, ever weak, may you ever prosper
Men who curse the sun


You'll never see the sun
Men who curse the sun
You'll never drown the sun

In Absence of Angels is a one-person project from northern California. B|C|H started the project out of isolation during COVID, taking influence from Death, doom, progressive, and gothic metal. My hope hope is to make music as despondent as it is brutal. ... more
