Nevermore - The Purist's Drug (Lyrics) - Bonus Track скачать видео бесплатно

Lyrics:

If murder is the purist's drug

And the needle is the new black

Take your steps carefully

Slip into the grey

The learning is still incompleted

No pressure

only lessons

Serve you still

Who do you follow

In a world so hollow?

The last of the flesh has been picked away

And we decay

Tell me something pure

Tell me the truth

In fractured future dreams

I am the used

If murder is the purist's drug

And the needle is the new black

Take your steps carefully

Slip into the grey

The learning is still incompleted

No pressure

only lessons

Serve you still

Who have you wasted

With your mistaste

And your velvet tongue

Who have you disgraced

And erased

With your lies

Tell me something pure

Tell me the truth

In fractured future dreams

I am the bruised

If murder is the purist's drug

And the needle is the new black

Take your steps carefully

Turn into the grey

The learning is still incompleted

No pressure

only lessons

Shall serve you still

Where is there sorrow

Within tomorrow

That never dies

Tell me something pure

Tell me the truth

In fractured future dreams

I am the used

If murder is the purist's drug

And the needle is the new black

Take your steps carefully

Slip into the grey

The learning is still incompleted

No pressure

only lessons

Shall serve you still

Nevermore The Purist's Drug Japanese Bonus track #13 from the album The Obsidian Conspiracy released May 28th 2010 through Century Media Records

The Obsidian Conspiracy is the seventh album by American heavy metal band Nevermore. The album was released on June 8, 2010 in North America by Century Media[11] and was released at the end of May in Europe.[12] The band's previous album, This Godless Endeavor was released in 2005, making the five year gap the longest between two consecutive Nevermore albums. The album was met with generally positive reviews. The Obsidian Conspiracy was the band's first album to chart in Austria, Belgium, the United Kingdom and the United States Billboard 200. This is the last album to feature long-time members Jeff Loomis and Van Williams on their respective instruments.

Writing and recording

Nevermore, having written 13 new songs, entered Wichers studio, North Carolina, in August 2009, to record the album. Van Williams completed recording the drumming on the album as 17th of August, in Seattle. The whole recording process was finished in October.

Warrel Dane commented on the writing process: "These songs are full of newfound rage, lyrically and musically. Jeff Loomis has come up with some amazing new riffs that will no doubt please old and new fans alike. Also, I think the combination of Peter and Andy(production & mixing) will result in something very, very special." Dane expressed his opinion about the song "And the Maiden spoke": " [It] is going to blow your minds; it's twisted, progressive lunatic fringe riffing with vicious hooklines."[13]

Jeff Loomis commented on the writing of the album: "I think that with the new Nevermore, it still sounds like the band, but I think I'm giving Warrel a little bit more room this time around for more vocals rather than all the notey, kind of complex stuff and all that, so this time around it's just a little bit more wide open musically for him to really be able to do whatever he wants vocally this time around. So we'll see what happens. It's gonna be an interesting album for us, for sure."[14]

Jeff Loomis has also stated in a recent interview that Peter Wichers had a major part in the songwriting, encouraging Loomis to "cut out the fat, and make the songs catchier and hookier", thus creating a simplistic and stripped down sound that differs from the original 7-8 minute complex tracks which Loomis originally wanted to record.[15]
