I am the pain which eats you up
I am the eye of the storm
I am the fire luring you
I am the locusts in a swarm
I am the flood of guilt
I am the source of scorn
I am the winter's frost
I wear the crown of thorns
Please relieve this pain
Take off my crown
And let me go in shame
Inside, I slowly drown
I am the darkness
Total absence of light
I am the hate
I am the reason for war and fight
I am the human decay
I am the crawling worms
I am the bitter truth
I wear the crown of thorns
Relieve me
Release me
Please relieve this pain
Take off my crown
And let me go in shame
Inside, I slowly drown
You can never hold me back
Can't even slow me down
Please let go
And claim my crown

Another great album from Sturm Café, their strongest and most consistent album to date, classic old school EBM with killer retro synth hooks, great music and strong vocals, even hints of Elegant Machinery on this album which is a good thing too. flindersia
Gloriously primal music that recalls the glory days of early ’80s industrial, icy drum machines clashing with searing synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 16, 2021
