lyrics
Fragile father. Deadly war machine.
Under the cover of darkness I saw my vest reflect in your eyes.
Broken and distressed, frozen to the bone, I came to follow the light.
Despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better.
Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls
raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness. Demised, tyrannized, I was
solemnly born to survive.
A child solemnly born to survive.
Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence?
Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better? Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness.
Lost and hopeless, I was solemnly born to survive.
All I am, a soldier ready to give in. How much must I bleed and bleed to understand the war I live in.
All I have, a glass vest tight to my chest. Eternal strive for forgiveness, whilst no future can erase the past.
“War had no mercy, not a single unaffected soul. I sorrowed the death of a battalion, oh they weeped as I held them in my hands. Eternally wounded and incapable of affection.
I felt no fear, felt no shame, I felt nothing. I no more nourish life.. I shall never bleed the same.”
I’m sorry, for I shall never bleed the same.
It’s naught but an inhumane fate, to carry the weight of a dying world.
I fought for nothing, and lost everything. I carried the weight of a dying world.
Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence?
Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair?
Under the cover of darkness I saw my vest reflect in your eyes.
Broken and distressed, frozen to the bone, I came to follow the light.
Despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better.
Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls
raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness. Demised, tyrannized, I was
solemnly born to survive.
A child solemnly born to survive.
Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence?
Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair of all malnourished souls raised to die, of the weak that knew no better? Demised, tyrannized, a soldier born to survive the madness of all malnourished souls raised to fight against an enemy that knew no weakness.
Lost and hopeless, I was solemnly born to survive.
All I am, a soldier ready to give in. How much must I bleed and bleed to understand the war I live in.
All I have, a glass vest tight to my chest. Eternal strive for forgiveness, whilst no future can erase the past.
“War had no mercy, not a single unaffected soul. I sorrowed the death of a battalion, oh they weeped as I held them in my hands. Eternally wounded and incapable of affection.

I’m sorry, for I shall never bleed the same.
It’s naught but an inhumane fate, to carry the weight of a dying world.
I fought for nothing, and lost everything. I carried the weight of a dying world.
Fragile father. War machine. Do I glorify you for my worthless existence?
Fragile father. War machine. Do you ever blame yourself? Do you ever feel the despair?

Ashen
by Humanity's Last Breathsupported by 19 fans who also own “Glass Vest”
Before Ashen, I thought they were overrated. Deathcore bands seem to have a capacity to evolve quickly. I’ve seen quite a few bands in this genre grow exponentially from one album to the next, and Ashen is a particularly strong example.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.

Relentless Mutation
by Archspiresupported by 17 fans who also own “Glass Vest”
Archspire is wholly unique for their ability to write music that is this insanely technical, but also actually catchy and memorable. Absolutely one-of-a-kind band.

Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.”

I am more a melodeath guy than deathcore, but I enjoy all the symphonic elements or rythym changes. This album is a BLAST omg my neck hurt, so much headbang🤘🤘
