lyrics

How would you prefer your oppression?
under the millstone or haunted by it
subdued by omission?

Is it not your flavour of aggression?
think the weapon would look better
bearing badge and familiar colours?

Archon
there's no lord over Eden
chaos
and there's no system to fuck

Scared to loosen the chains of your brethren
pay your way through the flames
never looking back at the mass
see the hopeless writhing

You were taught the nature of humanity
intrinsic evil to tame
lest life of man become
solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short

The nihilist has won
we've cultured emptiness to prove it
no need to feel
it's not like this is real
bottle it up, son

But it's too much to ignore
it's too much to ignore

Enjoy the laughter while it lasts
'cause play is waste
no fragrance
no taste
better bottle that up, son

But where's my promised reward?
where's my promised reward?

So scared of man's innate depravity
somehow he generates this evil
as if he's closed from the world
the notion's absurd

If only it was this clear
if only I were not prone
to bias, swarm and hormone
to bitterness and fear

Archon
won't you please play the villain

This vague life
safe and soulless
without antagonist
nerfed consequence

Leaves me ever the child
ever churning
ever refusing
ever

Ever the child
ever churning
ever refusing
ever
ever the rebel

How would you prefer your oppression?
under the millstone or haunted by it
subdued

Archon
there's no lord over Eden
chaos
and there's no system to fuck

about

Delvoid image

Delvoid Oslo, Norway

Hailing from the outskirts of Oslo, Delvoid is an alternative rock band with energetic and evocative live shows. Delvoid’s sound consists of noisy sound walls, vulnerable melodies, and mammoth-sized riffs. They chase the same white whale as Tool and Sigur Ros, but add their own flavour of psychedelia and minimalism to the hunt. ... more
