These are the prayers of a faith we have lost,
turning our backs on what we thought we would die for.
And we don't need your forgiveness.
We found a reason to sing (so let us pray).
We are the ones you've forsaken (so let us pray).
Choking each breath we have taken (so let us |

The Agony Scene — это мелодик-дэт, снисходящий до металкора, и металкор, неуверенно возвышающийся до мелодик-дэта, и весь этот амфотерный метал имеет происхождение в стране возможностей больших — США, что, конечно, не будет сюрпризом ни для кого. И сцен агонии в привычном смысле слова в музыке коллектива также совсем не наблюдается. Помаленьку начинает складываться неприятная ситуация: неужели ребятам совсем нечем нас удивить? Попридержим коней в суждениях — парни не лишены амбиций, об этом буквально кричит их последний диск «Get Damned». Кричит он о том, что музыканты этой группы не будут изобретать велосипед, но что-то усовершенствуют, что-то заведомо упростят, и в результате этих манипуляций обязательно выйдет что-нибудь путное. Что касается «упростить», то тут ребята решили жать до конца и свели-таки темповые вариации в своей интерпретации металкора до минимума. Но мало-помалу начинаешь понимать, что ударник прав в том, что нечасто задумывается, а просто следует органическому чувству музыки коллектива. Вот так, под размеренную колотьбу The Agony Scene и несутся на волнах сильных трэшевых риффов с неустанным скримом вокалиста, своевременно поддерживаемым хоровыми криками. Живем! К тому же музыкантам неплохо удается вставлять в свою незатейливую музыку брэйкдауны. Плохо только, что иногда гитаристы сбиваются на такой приевшийся риффинг, что, право, хочется воскликнуть: «Поимели бы совесть!». Да и соло не играют, хотя могли бы (и плевать, что это якобы необязательно — примеряете тэг «мелодик-дэт» — извольте). А так — с первой до последней песни команда постарается удерживать внимание слушателя, предположительно легко поддающегося обаянию юношеского (но с претензией на тяжесть) задора и легко покупающегося на немудреный драйв. Ай, надо все-таки еще раз отметить вокалиста: не жалеет текста, зараза! Но… подстава с запоминаемостью — хитов-то будто и нет, композиции идут одна за другой, не оставляя ничего ни в душе слушателя, ни в сердце… Ладно, скрепя последним, можно выделить “Deliverance” и “Old Scratch”, где единственный раз за весь альбом появляется лирический чистый вокал.
В общем, от нечего делать можно в другой раз и оценить творчество The Agony Scene на этом альбоме, но если такого случая и не представится, не расстраивайтесь — стандартного, хоть и старательно сыгранного металкора достаточно и без этой команды. И запомните вы все, наконец, — The Agony Scene is NOT a Christian band :))) (Диск предоставлен компанией Mystic Empire) |

But we are no longer afraid to fall from illusions of grace (so let us pray).
We are the product of a constant resistance.
We'll burn our bridges to die in the flames.
And we don't need your forgiveness.
We found a reason to bleed (so let us pray).
We are the ones you've forsaken (so let us pray).
Choking each breath we have taken (so let us pray).
But we are no longer afraid to fall from illusions of grace (so let us pray).
We will not give you our consciousness,
and I'll be damned if you'll take us alive.
We are the ones you've forsaken (so let us pray).
Choking each breath we have taken (so let us pray).
But we are no longer afraid to fall from illusions of grace (so let us pray).
2. Predation
In death we are as one.
Infested with disease.
I want to see your eyes in the moment your mortality is realized.
In death we'll suffer more.
With skin torn open wide.
I wanna watch you bleed until you can no longer feel the agony in death.
Suffer for my sins.
A thirst I cannot satisfy.
This is the end.
I will be born again in death.
We are as one.
Your pain has become mine, because I no longer feel.
You've shown me the frailty of human life.
In death we'll suffer more.
With skin torn open wide.
I wanna watch you bleed.
Until you can no longer feel the agony in death.
Suffer for my sins.
A thirst I cannot satisfy.
This is the end.
I will be born again in death.
3. Dances With Devils
Hell waits for everyone.
It's not a question of belief.
We've found our souls now we will burn for it.
So give us damnation.
Eternal suffering.
We sought salvation when there was nothing left to save.
We'll watch the heavens burn tonight.
Praying for an answer when our salvation is death.
As dying voices fade, we're given something to believe.
Hell waits for everyone, and it will call us each by name, to take us home now.
We will burn for it.
So give us damnation.
Eternal suffering.
We sought salvation when there was nothing left to save.
We'll watch the heavens burn tonight.
Praying for an answer when our salvation is death.
As dying voices fade, we're given something to believe.
Pray for us all.
4. Adversary
We were born for sacrifice.
Our existence justified in our fear of a god, a faceless deity.
And every voice will speak in tongues.
Now let us taste his flesh and drink of his blood in hopes of immortality.
We are the dead, the faithless, the damned.
And we'll save ourselves.
We are gathered here tonight to bear witness to the slow decline of humanity.
We've brought this on ourselves.
Like lambs to the slaughter.
Blinded by herd mentality, we fall in line and beg for their forgiveness.
We are the dead, the faithless, the damned.
And we'll save ourselves.
5. White Nights
Choke back the lies that you've been fed.
Bleed for your ignorance, suffer and die for it.
We are the dead, nothing left to bleed.
Too numb to feel a fucking thing, to blind to see.
They are the ones that took our eyes,
forcing morality upon the masses longing to believe.
Their suffering was not entirely in vain.
Choke back the lies that you've been fed.
Bleed for you're ignorance, suffer and die for it.
With every breath we pray to die.
Lost faith in God and suicide.
We've closed our eyes, now give us something to believe.
Our salvation, man made doctrine.
The blind will lead the blind into the open arms of Hell.
Choke back the lies that you've been fed.
Bleed for your ignorance, suffer and die for it.
6. Rapture
Give us the death of creation.
Bring famine, flood and plague to end our tortured existence.
Let us suffer forevermore.
We forged this path of resistance and died for an empty cause when there was nothing to live for.
Let us suffer forevermore.
Is this the reason we bleed?
We never thought to question why.
A life lived in fear is so meaningless.
Open your eyes.
Is this what we've suffered for?
Hopeless and self-deprived, we are forever discontent.
7. Deliverance
The end of days is upon us.
Come Armageddon, there's no hope for redemption.
We are the souls you cannot save.
We've carried this burden for so long, and lost every to carry on.
They're dying to save us from ourselves.
Our hope for salvation lost.
Unwilling to die to live again.
Bless me father.
I have sinned, forgive my indiscretions.
I will deny what you've made me, and never question why.
Conform to the truths they've created,
the path of redemption we've suffered for.
They're dying to save us from ourselves.
Our hope for salvation lost.
Unwilling to die to live again.
8. Rattle Me Bones
Blinded by fear and deception.
Sing the praise of the fraudulent.
They turn their backs, avert their eyes and fall in line.
Resist, suffer for the sins of our fathers.
Left us to die, hopeless and praying for the end.
Words of fear and intolerance.
Distorted sense of morality.
Twist a message of love and forgiveness.
Justify your hatred, without regard to validity.
They turn their backs, avert their eyes and fall in line.
Resist, suffer for the sins of our fathers.
Left us to die, hopeless and praying for the end.
9. The Opposition
Become the opposition.
The cancer feeding from within.
A parasite, we're met with such strong resistance.
They've built these walls to hold us back.
Let us burn them to the ground.
We raise our voices in protest.
We welcome death, and you can't kill us all.
Become the opposition.
The sin still coursing through our veins.
The blasphemous, we're met with such strong resistance.
They tied our hands behind our backs, watched in silence as we drown.
Let us burn them to the ground.
We raise our voices in protest.
We welcome death, and you can't kill us all.
10. Will To Bleed
I will destroy myself.
Content to burn forever in this Hell you've made.
This is finality.
I will destroy myself.
My body torn to pieces, yet I feel no pain.
This is finality.
Deny me your mercy.
This time I will not beg forgiveness.
You'll watch me die.
Dear father, take my life.
Your child has lost the will to fight, the will to bleed,
the way you've bleed for me.
Dear father, take my breath and I'll scream until there's nothing left.
Just bury me.
Take the sight from my eyes and the breath within my lungs.
My fear is my reason for suffering.
Is this the cost of redemption?
Shall I suffer for my sins?
I'm willing to bleed on your alter.
Deny me your mercy.
This time I will not beg forgiveness.
You'll watch me die.
Dear father, take my life.
Your child has lost the will to fight, the will to bleed,
the way you've bleed for me.
Dear father, take my breath and I'll scream until there's nothing left.
Just bury me.
11. Old Scratch
On broken knees I'll crawl to taste the blood spilled from your veins.
Like suicide, bloodshed and blasphemy we die.
Let the angels above me pour their wrath down upon me.
Face down.
I'm drowning.
The bitter taste of blood and sweat.
You have become my salvation.
Take me as your sacrifice.
Bloodshed and blasphemy, we die.
Let the angels above me pour their wrath down upon me.
