Earth Eater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Immense and vast, once thriving and once flourishing
Perplexed, unsure, of what fate befell this once great nation
What came to pass, that induced the gods to forsake and smite them?
Alas
Bones are scattered about
When darkness steals the light, do you fear your soul is tainted?
Are you prepared to pay the price?
Ivy adorned, colossal structures carved from limestone
A stench so foul, the streets are coated with a mucus substance
This dense forest is cursed
Underneath, some horror stirs from disrupted sleep
Get on your knees, raise your hands and pray for mercy
Slither
It emerges from the black
Slither
The massive beast is back
Slither
If fangs don′t tear you to shreds, it will swallow you whole, you will wish you were
Dead
Run
When darkness steals the light
Do you fear your soul is tainted?
Are you prepared to pay the price?
Evil will feed on you as penance
From the bloodied hands of murderers
To the perverted minds of elders
Justice will come disguised as evil
And that's exactly what we deserve
Emerging from the black to cleanse your soul from evil deeds
Your eyes will pop your organs crushed and harder it will squeeze
The serpent from the garden sees right through your disguise
It takes pleasure from your pain, wrath encompassing the sky
A stench so foul the streets are coated with a mucus substance
An ancient evil woke it′s slither utterly destructive
Decimating all in its path, look to your sins
Forgiveness comes to some, though your fate is already written
Underneath, horror stirs from disrupted sleep
Get on your knees, raise your hands and pray for mercy
In Earth Eater's song Penance, the lyrics describe the ruins of a once great civilization that fell from grace and were punished by the gods. The singer questions what unknown fate led to the downfall of the civilization, and as they walk among the ruins, they find scattered bones, marking the ground as sacred. The lyrics then turn to the question of what happens when darkness steals the light and whether one's soul will be tainted. The singer warns that evil will feed on the sinner as penance, and when justice comes, it will come disguised as evil. The lyrics then describe an ancient evil stirring underneath the ruins, waiting to destroy all in its path, and the importance of repentance and prayer for mercy.

I just ordered the vinyl from Crestfallen. Found it when I found out CF had re-issued the Point Below Zero ep.
I still dig new Deathcore..... but this band has me more excited than most of the more recent bands. Perfect mix of all the previous phases of deathcore.. with it's own new twist.
The djent parts are total classics as well. Straight out of the OG playbook. Thick, accurate, and pronounced.
