Thou - Burning Black Coals and Dark Memories

Peasant 2008
LYRICS:
My mistakes light up the sky, a horde of blazing stars through night's black curtain. They guide me safely along an endless passage over dangerous waters. From the summit of a towering mountain, leaping at once to a jagged shoreline, flesh and muscle impaled. I have destroyed that bridge, but the gift of strength and defiance can never be damaged. If my haven is but a weight chaining me to stagnation, then I must call to the thunder to break these bonds, escape into the chaos of the burning sands, and surround myself in self destruction. And surround myself in deconstruction. So it is the consequence of exploration and expansion. Alone--self discovery. Recognition of power. Isolate intelligence. I am the emissary. I am the balance. I am the beginning. I am the end.


**I DO NOT OWN THOU OR ANY OF THEIR WORKS, I SIMPLY JUST SPREAD THEIR WORD TO THE MASSES**

iTunes is shit. If you're buying Thou's music from iTunes, stop. If you want to support the band, buy the physical format on vinyl, cassette, or compact disc. Hell, go to the bands official site and almost all of their albums to date are avaliable for free. Don't waste time with Apple, inc..

On iTunes this was called the road of many names... And the album artwork is different... Either this band or iTunes really fucked up

With the publishing haha.

The album artwork used here is the gatefold CD cover. iTunes changed the album covers to all of Thou's works. It's rather unjust.

@bananaswag45 I saw them live. They don't.

This is some brutal shit. Do you think this band wears skinny jeans and listens to bands on tooth & nail???

@notyourhomeboy Amen brother. Down with iTunes, up with LPs and Cds.

@notyourhomeboy I would buy copies of their music (and if I had a player I'd DEFINITELY get it on vinyl) but my parents are like SERIOUSLY against metal so I don't really know how I'd keep all of their music hidden. When I move out, I'm buying all of their stuff though. I can't get enough of this band.
