Stacked against me
Since day one
Constantly reflecting on what I’ve become
I lie in hell's fire
And I have to pay my dues
White knuckled, I grit my teeth
I shake hands with the gods of
Of pain
I’ve made the pact
The spreading ash
Skin black, life and colors lack
Always overlooked and underestimated
The venom's packed
The skin is black
The reaper's gaze looming over my back
My constitution has been forged
In the deepest pits of anguish
Holding onto life, but not with hope
With every ounce of hatred I have
Because I won’t be another victim
White knuckled, I grit my teeth
I shake hands with the gods of
Of pain
I’ve made the pact
The spreading ash
Skin black, life and colors lack
Always overlooked and underestimated
The venom's packed, the skin is black
The reaper's gaze looming over my back
I only see life through a dark disposition
But now with grim determination
Hardened and reborn

Many reviews have accurately described the masterful blend of sludge, doom, and progressive metal (with a dash of black) that defines Paradise Gallows, but another sub-genre, and perhaps the most important here, is often overlooked: stoner rock. This draws you into the zone right away and holds you there for the duration, and this zone is dark, crushing, and nearly hopeless. The guitar work is beautifully droning, but the cascading drumming deserves special praise. Inter Arma’s best! Ippocalyptica
