Leave it to metal heretics Samael to create a song that straddles genres and defies categorization. It blasts off with rock-solid percussion and heavy riffing, but then turns into a melancholic story about love. The occasional voice distortion may sound awkward at first, but trust me, it’s there for a reason*.
* everything is everywhere for a reason 😀
“can you give as much as you can take
can you love as much as you can hate
the flame we share is one as you’re aware
the needs we burn is the child we never had
we split our lives to find our mind again
we do divorce so our first fight’s regained
together will we remain to say
together we will live, this century got so much more to give
together we will leave, giving to the world a better place to grow
feelings we keep away from decay
feelings we send each other everyday
does your silence speak the world I hear
does your reserve mean what I fear
the forever we are is the forever we murdered
stay right here, stand by me”
