lyrics
You know I recognize
That trembling in your voice when you talk to me
Oh babe you gotta realize
That there's no secret you can keep from me
You think I cannot feel the waves that rage within
But I,
I'd rather push you down and let you drown
Than let you drift away
Just how high do you value my devotion?
Just how far do you think you'll get without my protection?
Just how much do you expect me to take?
Just how many of your pretty bones must I break?
I wanna see what your eyes see
I wanna bind your blood to me
I wanna be the air you breathe
(bind your blood to me)
And I will burn it all down
All just to rule the ash on the ground
Feeding the flames until it's dark
And all we have is gone
Bow before the ruler of ashes
Don't you know I recognize
Every one of your sweet little lies
Don't try to hide from me
Don't you see that there's no secret you can keep from me?
I'd rather let you drown
Than let you drift away
You think I cannot feel the waves that rage within
I'd rather push you down and let you drown
Than let you get away
Won't let you get away
Won't let you get away
Won't let you get away
You will never leave me
I wanna see what your eyes see
I wanna bind your blood to me
I wanna be the air you breathe
(bind your blood to me)
And I will burn it all down
All just to rule the ash on the ground
Feeding the flames until it's dark
And all we have is gone
Forever gone
That trembling in your voice when you talk to me
Oh babe you gotta realize
That there's no secret you can keep from me
You think I cannot feel the waves that rage within
But I,
I'd rather push you down and let you drown
Than let you drift away
Just how high do you value my devotion?
Just how far do you think you'll get without my protection?
Just how much do you expect me to take?
Just how many of your pretty bones must I break?
I wanna see what your eyes see
I wanna bind your blood to me
I wanna be the air you breathe
(bind your blood to me)
And I will burn it all down
All just to rule the ash on the ground
Feeding the flames until it's dark
And all we have is gone
Bow before the ruler of ashes
Don't you know I recognize
Every one of your sweet little lies
Don't try to hide from me
Don't you see that there's no secret you can keep from me?
I'd rather let you drown
Than let you drift away
You think I cannot feel the waves that rage within
I'd rather push you down and let you drown
Than let you get away
Won't let you get away
Won't let you get away
Won't let you get away
You will never leave me
I wanna see what your eyes see
I wanna bind your blood to me
I wanna be the air you breathe
(bind your blood to me)
And I will burn it all down
All just to rule the ash on the ground
Feeding the flames until it's dark
And all we have is gone
Forever gone

about
Mekanism Finland
Mekanism is a five-piece rock act whose music is built around fiery rock and metal riffs infused with pop sensibilities. The
emphasis is on clean vocals, but we do employ the occasional aggressive scream and shout for an added balls factor.
Massive metal riffs interwoven with beautiful choruses create the atmosphere that Mekanism is all about:
an icing of vulnerability on a cock rock cake.

INTO THE ABYSS
by DANCE WITH THE DEADsupported by 8 fans who also own “The Ruler of Ashes”
This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven.

The Decipher Volumes
by Neurotechsupported by 8 fans who also own “The Ruler of Ashes”
Pour The Decipher Volumes, Wulf compile les deux premiers opus de Decipher sortis en 2012 et en ajoute un troisième. Vrai pas en avant par rapport à Antagonist, l'objectif de cette compilation n'est pas de déchiffrer une machine ou un ordinateur : Neurotech se déchiffre lui-même, ouvrant progressivement son cyber metal à une sorte d'electronica metal et ça se remarque par les voix — celle de Wulf devenant de plus en plus humaine, chantée, et celle cristalline de Tanja Ravljen. No Turning Back.
