Afflicted - Tidings From The Blue Sphere

From the album "Prodigal Sun" (1992).


Lyrics:

Probing... inward
seeking new depths within myself
an odyssey through my subconscious
the deeper I venture the worse it will be
I don't know if I want to see
as I realize my view of society

Their games of power infest the air
lost in your own world, you don't want to know
perpetual decline is breeding despair
I questio myself, how far will it go?

Go??

And life goes on under yellow sun
as time goes by in star-filled space
and ignorant children pace the earth
all revealing in endless mirth

A fragile eco-system
in orbit around the star
imbalance under way
it has come too far

The future is concealed by time
and lurking around the next bend on our way
yes, you speak and yes, you act
but is your reason still intact?

Errors, mistakes
something we make
trust in technology
something we fake
yeah!

Our action past and present
are closing in on us
visions of our future
a world that's choked in dust

Awesome. A very different version than the one on the Death Is Just The Beginning 2 compilation album by Neclear Blast Records. Still a great song...THAT GOES TOO FAR!!!! Hail Afflicted.

@Metalmania84 & @Chuloloc - wow, great to see some people remember that compilation! It got me started for death metal in 1992 as a kid and some of the tracks on it are still my all time faves from the genre, especially the exclusive ones like the one you mentioned.

THANKS!

I feel like wearing a denim vest with band patches again... ;-) Haven't seen one on the streets in like 15 years, but back then they were all around.

Awesome. Can't wait. Afflicted rules.
