Band: Meshuggah
Song: Pravus
Album: Obzen


[Lyrics: Tomas Haake, Music: Mårten Hagström]

Drooling floods of led
Armed with distorted belief
Sharp munition spat from our minds
Malignancy-rounds, automatic fire

Black, acidic bile
Seeping wounds of shattered souls
Still not pissing out fast enough
To quench our thirst for it to bleed us dry

Vile, ever-menacing intent
Repulsive belligerence shot from toxic minds
Blatant disregard for all but self
Proudly flaunting the depravity of a race condemned, malign

Iterate, repeat these my words
Recite the mantra of late:
I will corrupt and impair
Vitiate, dispirit, debase, violate

Souls burn with hateful intent
The deceitful spawn, descendants of lies
By the poisoned nails of history stung
If granted the will to injure
If granted the will to harm
- The blades of hurt inexhaustibly swung

  • FUCKING ADDSS

    

  • I was expecting this insaaane, bad ass breakdown.. Sorta disappointed, still a good song though. 

  • pretty sure this song just made me poop myself

  • I expected more.

  • LISTEN THIS MUSIC! oh god how is possible that the whole world don't love this music? put this in the stereo and let your neighbours know how to bleed by ears

  • @TheRayven760

    Sounded good up til "lesser men." Then you just sounded like a prick.

  • the intro riff drums seem pretty simple do they not?

    but think about this: never once in that riff does he hit the snare and the bass drum at the same time. try it....its fucking ridiculous

  • Meshuggah is what popular music should be. They are a combination of comforting serenity and devastating brutality. Pure musicianship and raw power. The very definition of the soul of music. The lyrics of this song are enveloped and fused with the music, as if its meaning is bleeding into every note. It is a powerful force, capable of weakening lesser men. Not everyone can stand up to Meshuggah's mightiness, but I'm proud to say I can.

  • the whole song was brutal but 4:09 combined with he lyrics was almost dangerous to my health. i really REALLY dont understand how any human being with a right mind could listen to this and not be completely blown away not only by the intense complexity but brutal sexual arousal as well. fuckin RIDICULOUS

  • Im pretty sure you could crank this song at a pile of wood and it would explode into flames
