Hand of Ruin

by The Albatross

supported by
William Tatton
William Tatton thumbnail
William Tatton true metal in the purest sense. the band is just a trio, but the sound is much bigger. the guitar has a great feel and the tone is just the right mix of evil and steel. the drummer is a monster on the double bass and has the timing of a clock. great tunes Favorite track: Burning Down the Gallows.

Abolition 04:41
You say he’s the savior of humanity Well he’s more like a plague bearer to me Just watch as his ideas spread amongst you like a sickness This rise from ruin has no quick fix You can’t build paradise on a cesspool of filth Step back and you will see everyone becoming slaves as they fulfill someone else's dreams Where is your trepidation? The last few grains of sand are beginning to fall Now is not the time for us to stall This man will be the end of you all Seize this moment of clarity and come back to reality Just remember when this whole world goes to shit
 that it could have been prevented You’ll continue breeding children in an era of vile things They’ll grow into the epitome of our disease of our disease Blasphemous! Abomination! Abhorrent! Disgraceful! Abolition! Another bastardized anathema to become your king Eradicate this kingdom of deception Overthrow this putrid tyrant Take back your fucking lives
2.
Cataclysm 03:35
As you look up to the righteous man
 a realization of his existence is justified as a lie Humanity will fall to its knees
 as their world is torn apart before their eyes This upheaval will erase our existence
 reducing all to ash Wars created by modern day man will lead us all to death Mankind has fueled the revolution degrading all to immoral pigs Unity has vanquished in time by the growth of selfishness and greed 
Consequence and fear, what can be a bitter end to all we believe Man vs. man
 Pig vs. pig
 There is no difference This is what we create
3.
Waiting for something to happen Life seems so meaningless living in a comatose existence Swimming circles under watchful eyes
 we must never stray from the path It’s so aggravating never being able to find an identity You’re just another brainwashed sheep herded into line Do you feel it? The haunting chill of wanting more Everything will stay the same unless you open your fucking eyes Don’t tell me you’re able to digest their force-fed bullshit When push comes to shove I’ll rise above
 with those who see this world for what it really is So stay behind playing blind if thats what gets you through life
4.
Keep shelling it out like we’ve got endless pockets We seem to be building our own gallows and tightening the noose around our throats Come one come all! Watch us choke The rich get richer and the poor get fucked They’re sitting pretty while we’re struggling 
to keep our heads above water This cost of living, rising like the tide, has washed us out to sea This minimum wage strangle hold is choking the life out of us all We're born into this life, brought into this world without a choice So keep your green paper currency Show us what it is to be money hungry Just keep your green paper currency as we’re all destined to be born into the shackles of endless debt We're sure to drown in an ocean of greed and dollar signs The burden of existence feels like the weight of the world
 crushing our backs The root of evil makes the world go round
