[The God Gun is a gun, when put to your head, if you pull the trigger, you will not only kill yourself, but also instantaneously, painlessly, eliminate all human beings from the earth] When I say When I say I want you all to be gone When I say, When I say My finger’s on the trigger. What’s brave? You’re done What’s saved? What’s gone? Can you see it? Can you feel it? Can you do it? Can you do it? One break All gone Some saved God Gun.

I need a translator I tune in, it fails, I don’t know, I don’t know why. Step round this, big crater, Speak not of creator, I don’t know, I don’t know why. I saw you yesterday, Seething, out for pray. You know my man, your friend, So peaceful, We been blessed, But soon you will deny it. You really went for me, My family, it got deep. I see you, I see it all. I dig a bit deeper, And I found your keeper, A price on your head. See you, instigator, Oppressor, you maker, You faux cry, You faux cry. Rooting for a fate that ends all trust now, now, And any eloquence held to defence, As you re-define our words again. No resistance, your divine high power, Incinerate all heretics, Off with their heads. Obliterate all that you hate, Never contemplate as your own fate, You’ll never see the light again. This empty vessel makes the loudest noise, Tearing through the soles destroyed, You’ll never see the light again. See you instigator, Oppressor, you maker, You faux cry, you faux cry Divineness, creator, A vengeance, Aggressor, A price on your heads. For protection you must join a gang now, now. Sovereignty of self is dead. Each soul is reigned right in. No resistance, your divine high power, Tearing down enlightened gifts, And the tyranny that this will bring. Obliterate all that you hate, Never contemplate as your own fate, You’ll never see the light again. This empty vessel makes the loudest noise, Tearing through the souls destroyed. Never see the light again.

Well he struts in boldly, Just like a bad man, He got cojones well I’ll give him that. Just when I think he’s fronting, Too close to danger, He cracks a smile and with open arms and he say, DANCE Procrastination, she taps a rhythm, She starts to rise and she starts to sway. There was no provocation, just need for movement, mirrored patterns in the Universe, And I say DANCE Dance like Vasili Vasili says.

Blind Side 07:42
I Keep falling, Blind side, I keep falling, I lost my mind. When you’re scared, You hold my hand, And we dared, To free from our thought And understand. As we dare To faulter, flounder, All aware, We fall for our lives, All risk is higher, All risk is higher. How I fear, How I fear, How I fear, How I fear for the heathens. How I fear for the heathens, the false and the weakened.

Run Pilgrim 05:39
Broken hearts and alcohol, Disaster’s almost palpable, This town int the world to me, Your broken heart’s no prophecy. Vengeance makes a judgment call, The knife will rise, and she will fall. Biding time, is such a sin, This is no good for me, And I better not be here. Blackest coffee fills the air, It covers filth and some despair, Fevered in a manic haze, some beaten, buried in a grave. Running far and run within, The journey’s long, the lights grow’s dim. This could be my darkest day, I have much more to make, so I better not be here. When purpose falls, Your sense of reason, Plots to stall, Now run my Pilgrim. You must travel far and wide, for the stories you must tell, Travel far, cross the Seas, Let stories unfold, coz you’re no good to me here. Risks and danger, jewels unfold, are your senses learning well. Travel far, cross the seas, Let stories be told, coz you’re no good to me here. When purpose falls, Your sense of reason, plots to stall, now run my Pilgrim

It feels so good to be well fed, I would have liked to stay longer, I did not miss my own bed, My demons scream with hunger. I beat ‘em down Right Down I beat ‘em down I have not flinched a whole weekend, But now the ticks grow stronger, Well we can always take deep breathes, There will be changes in moments

True Say 05:48
Truth says, Truth says, it insisted. All of what you do int right, All of what you do in spite, Hell hath no fury like a victim, Hell hath no fury like a tyranny. God made you to fight better wars, She’s not your saviour, and he never was. Burn cities, Like a living scorn, He’s not your saviour when you never learn. Eyes wide, like the swelling seas, Rising up, just like an effigy. Eyes wide, Eyes wide, You were blind, now tell me you can see.

about

'Bruxa Maria are back on their third full length; be grateful. “Build Yourself A Shrine And Pray” is 45 minutes of pummelling, punishing fury as unrelenting and all-consuming as your anger at coming up short for the rent. The new record finds the band just as enraged as their 2016 debut, while continuing to evolve artistically. Bruxa Maria’s huge bass and guitar, frantic drums, and banshee shrieking vocals build tension with few moments of release, the frenzy sometimes dissolving into feedback, static, and synth drones.

Often the riffs have a swagger that makes you want to dance, and in a few places there are flashes of some genuinely pretty melodies and hooks. Those moments all shine through for just an instant before being shredded by the noise and wrath, torn apart flower petals under a line of razor wire. This is dark music about and against a darkening world, where anger and art are crucial to how we keep on keeping on. You can call it now, this is going to be the best record of 2023.'
