lyrics

Locked up in a cage
No way to escape
Surrounded by darkness
Madness is my council

I wrap my fingers
Around my legacy
Black ink on paper
Their blood on white tiles
Spilled not by my hand
But those I inspired

Once more I taste my own blood
Once more I think of you
Of all the things
We never got to

The words make
My eyes water
All those depictions of
Gore and slaughter

Images flash before
My eyes
Of capable hands
Acting on my behalf

They got hold of us
Only to spread the tale
Of the ideals
We tried to convey

I wrap my fingers
Around my legacy
Black ink on paper
Their blood on white tiles
Spilled not by my hands
But those i inspired

Once more I taste my own blood
Once more I think of you
Of all the deeds
We never got to

Maybe all we did
Was not obsolete
Not as they’re trying
To make me believe

Maybe there was purpose
To our fall
A tale that will
Devour the world

Maybe all we did
Was not obsolete
Not as they’re trying
To make me believe

Maybe there was purpose
To our fall
A tale that will
Devour the world

Maybe all we did
Was not obsolete
Not as they’re trying
To make me believe

Maybe there was purpose
To our fall
A tale that will
Devour the world

I wrap my fingers
Around my legacy
Black ink on paper
Their blood on white tiles
Spilled not by my hands
But those i inspired

I wrap my fingers
Around my legacy
Black ink on paper
Their blood on white tiles
Spilled not by my hands
But those i inspired

Once more I taste my own blood
Once more I think of you
Of all the deeds
We never got to

Once more I taste my own blood
Once more I think of you
Of all the deeds
We never got to

about

Drown in Embers Germany

Drown in Embers was spawned in Düsseldorf anno 2012 by guitarist Pete, drummer Martin and bassist Reini 4 years after their former band “Exchased” split up.

Right after the first songs were written, a second guitarist was needed and was found in Jacques who joined the band in 2014.

After years of searching for the right vocalist, Nikita finally completed the lineup in 2018. ... more
