Narrow Paths 04:43
Down and down Further from all the sound Take a look at the city of the underground Take a closer step, into The darkest parts that you never knew Down and down City of underground Runaway! Get away! Before they bury you, alive! Slow down Watch your step before you get knocked down Skulls adorn the wall of this underground Nightly processions Six million confessions Invite your friends To the city of the underground Smell the fire Feel awake Exhume the dead resume To hold this tomb Exhume the dead resume Our bodies! Our problems! Bless me father when I turn around the corner And I kneel to the altar of the sacrificial offer Bless me father when I turn around the corner And I kneel to the altar of the sacrificial offer Bless me father when I turn around the corner And I kneel to the altar of the sacrificial offer Who’s sleeping in the crypt tonight? They’ll punch, they’ll kick, they’ll bite Make room in the catacombs Seems dead but we’re not alone I can’t help the feeling with the chill in my bones As the stones beneath me lead us to the unknown With the tunnel getting deeper, their eyes begin to glow City of the underground Take me home! City of the underground Take me home City of the underground Take me home I’ll take the path That’s narrow and small Gonna be a bloodbath God “save us” all I’ll take the path That’s narrow and small Gonna be a bloodbath Gonna kill us all!

When you feel it Does it simmer in your core or do you kill it? When you hear it, does the music turn to static or do you fear it? Bless the curse you wear in your underwear drawer that you swore you would never ever let another…. I sew my eyes My soul to sell There’s something there, there's something I’m not trying you to…. Keep your heavy breathing Let the drunken night, cool your skin In my make believe where I will deceive Is how I let myself in Every stone unturned Every candle unburned Is a chance for us to slow dance Let the music in your head lead us to your bed Where your body can live and your soul is dead Soul is dead Take the Needle And unthread My…. I sew my eyes My soul to sell There’s something there, there's something I’m not trying you to…. Unsew my eyes I can’t deny It feels so good, it feels so good Until the next day when I die I sew my eyes and I know that I need to stop I sew my eyes and I know that I need to stop I sew my eyes and I know that I need to stop In order for you to….

Night Work 03:47
Anticipate and wait, I hear the faucet dripping Such a sound that penetrates my thoughts of which are slowly slipping Turn on the TV, never seen so much snow in my life It’s feeling kind of eerie, silence digs into me like a knife And part of me just can’t complain For what I’ve wanted is for peace But I can’t help to think at what cost has this come for you and me? Turn the knob of the radio to a signal of a distant scream My heart is pacing to the racing thoughts of this I dial number, number after number Even in my slumber, haunted by that dead tone Turn on the record player just to hear another voice And it sings to me “It grows dark, it grows darker now, please stay” If I am dreaming, shake me back to reality If I am living take me out of my misery If I am dreaming, shake me back to reality If I am living take me out of my misery Dreamin

Dwellers 02:28
Every day is night The roots are overgrown I hear your voice on the other side But it feels I’m on my own I’ve been here once before But more shades of black and blue The shadows come alive Tell me one of them is you Am I here to make us suffer?! Is there a purpose to our pain?! Are we all just charming monsters? Feels different, but the same In the upside down! In the upside down! In the dark is where I see All my fears are tangled up In the malice branches of the… Don’t come for me Leave my body Just keep the light on where we last kissed and said goodbye My light will warm you in the darkest time when you want to cry

We broke our promise when we saw you saw this But let’s be honest We both knew it would end like this So obvious, we couldn't hide The fact that What made us pure has slowly died The river’s dry and so am I We used up every drop of her The only thing we left for you Is to burn our bodies for your pleasure So condescending and never ending, that’s us! We wasted love and chosen lust Eye for an Eye Wasted Time Eye for an Eye Passed our Time Eye for an Eye Cuz we can’t look ahead of us Wasted Time Given in and now we’ve given up Eye for an Eye Look what you lack because of Passed our Time In God you’ve learned to mistrust

Reapers 03:45
And the enemy who sowed them is the devil And the harvest is coming at the end of the age Reapers and angels All the secrets of man Will be revealed The wicked ones shall feel affiliations And the rule of this world will be casted out A river is flowing Getting brighter Getting Brighter! Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground Will awak to destroy the unjust Ungodly men, can’t defend Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground Will awak to destroy the unjust Ungodly men, we are condemned

Are you afraid of the dark? Does it really mess you up? Swim in the water with the shark You’re twice alive when you fuck up Leave me alone Leave me if you could I don’t want to play with you today It’s not enough that you fucked with my childhood You insist that I play as your sad prey In the corners, I never knew where you stood Feeling weaker everyday in this hallway Leave me alone Leave me if you could The hell with you for getting in my way Are you afraid of the dark? Does it really mess you up? Swim in the water with the shark You’re twice alive when you fuck up

Flesh Failed 02:30
These canyons Speak truths That aren’t drowned out By words uncouth And as I dig For something more I’m reminded That blood means war! From your mother’s filth We can swim much lower Like the oil from the earth Our souls they blacken with vigor I’ve abandoned myself! I’ve abandoned you! Say it louder I’ve abandoned myself! I’ve abandoned you! Why do you cower? I’ve abandoned myself! I’ve abandoned you! You fuckin coward You broke me You beat me What prophet can you free me? You broke me You beat me Beat me

Below my feet Uneasy concrete That’s met with steel Growing from this aging street Swallowed by the trees Hidden in the rain An uneasy feeling What these stairs hold for me Dim and distant Every step is met with a breath that’s hanging on To a distant dream like this bridge was built upon To connect me to my… Best version of myself But these steps are never ending and I’m tired as hell So I grab unto the rails and I force out a yell I’m scared to go on, give me the strength to rebel Dim and distant Best version of myself But these steps are never ending and I’m tired as hell So I grab unto the rails and I force out a yell I’m scared to go on, give me the strength to rebel Best version of myself Dead version of myself

about

Picking up where Rare Kreature's last full length, Deth Knell left off, Dim and Distant further explores the subtle and not so subtle horror realities, fears and insecurities we hold. Dim and Distant revisits the styles of death rock and post punk while expanding on these genres.
