lyrics

written by Patrick Best
(based on Proverbs)

turn your back on the mouth that misleads
keep your distance from lips that deceive
proclaim the truth for evil is loathing
nothing false or crooked condoning

on lips of discernment comes wisdom
on the back of the fool comes the stick
the tongue of the upright pure silver
but wicked fools die for lack of sense

death and life are in the gift of the tongue
those who indulge must eat the fruit it yields

death and life
are in the gift
gift of the tongue
death and life
are in the gift
gift of the tongue

reckless words pierce like a sword
but the wise tongue brings healing
sincere lips endure forever
while dishonest ones are fleeting

death and life are in the gift of the tongue
those who indulge must eat the fruit it yields

death and life
are in the gift
gift of the tongue
death and life
are in the gift
gift of the tongue

unreliable are the legs of the lame
so is a proverb in the mouth of fools
like a thorn branch held in a drunkard's hand
so is a proverb in the mouth of fools

death and life
are in the gift
gift of the tongue
death and life
are in the gift
gift of the tongue

for the tongue
that deceives
shall be cut
cut off

death and life
such is the power of the tongue
death and life
such is the power of the tongue

finis

Interesting mix of grindcore and black metal. The drummer is a machine and this is one of the heaviest bands of the genre. Sid
