lyrics

I am the mountain that towers overhead
I am the plains that let you survive
I am the soil, I plant the seeds
I am the bedrock, I am your foundation
I am Volcano, I devour Pompei
I am the jewels that create your wealth
I am the caverns that haunt your dreams
I am the Gaia that let’s mana flow

This mud and muck is murder
You’ll all sink into your graves
This mist and vapor tickles
What horrors lurk inside the fog?
The Swamp is calling for blood
Leave the will-o-wisps to their work
The slime and scum taking over
Waiting patiently to ravage your flesh

I am the water that gives you life
I am the blood that flows through your veins
I am the tides, I am the currents
I am the rainfall, I make crops grow
I am the Kraken, I am Poseidon
I am the floods that take your lives
I am the deep sea, I am the mystery
I am the terror of the unknown

This world is getting colder
Huddle for warmth if you want to survive
Glacial rifts cut the world in half
Avalanches frozen abyss
Feel the chill deep in your bones
Death is a gift in lands like these
Arctic snow storms are blinding
Never move again, frozen in time

I am the air that you breathe, I am the comfort you feel
I am the gentle breeze that puts you to sleep
I am the Genie, I’ll grant your wish
I am the one that brings you the sky
I am your zephyr, I am the heavens
I push your ships, I let birds glide
I am the cyclone, I am the whirlwind
I am the gales that rip you in half

Welcome to this vast wasteland
The atmosphere is sticky and ash
Eat slag and glowing embers
This poison will skin you alive
This sea of soot is blinding
These searing cinders melt your face
Inhale the deadly smoke wisps
It stings your insides like bees

I am the fire, I’ll take your soul
I am the charred lord deep in the hole
I am the devil, I burn your home
I am the demon that won’t leave you alone

Earth wants you for your soul
Water wants you for your soul
Air wants you for your soul
Fire wants you for your soul

illiterates Atlanta, Georgia

Loitering at the unholy junction of Southern Gothic, Jay Reatard’s Lost Sounds and Dungeons & Dragons, you’ll find scuzzy, lo-fi psych punks illiterates. Drawing inspiration from classic garage, Richard Hell, Devo-style New Wave, ’90s skate punk and more, the tightknit quartet constructs unique sonic worlds, luring listeners with refreshing weirdness even as it violently assaults their eardrums. ... more
