WINTER MURDERED THE VAGABOND Fall upon us Merciless Father winter, Spread your wings To hide the sun Never the sky looked so black, Reflecting the truth of our hearts. Trample over thy hand And bring him to his demise The streets are empty now, Cold winter reach into our souls. What no one wants to see The beggars tears have turned to frost. In solitude they die, The silent scream of misery As winter murders the vagabond Pray to see another sun Cristal eyes Frozen stare Dead gray hearts of ice The streets are empty now, Cold winter reach into our souls. What no one wants to see The beggars tears have turned to frost. In solitude they die, The silent scream of misery As winter murders the vagabond, Leaving statues made of ice.

THE LOGIC OF A DYING MAN Human, too fucking human. Nobody escapes from the curse of the flesh, Mortal, is all that you are Everything else are just lies, Realize. Weak and confused little man Your decay, Nature´s redemption, Epiphany in climax "All that we are is what we leave behind" Burn this empty shell For, i dont need it anymore With my last breath, i want to say "Save your prayers for someone who cares" Don´t you dare to preach to me the idea of afterlife, As you know, my spirit dies with me. Facing the void, i am alone, as light of perception fades Behind me i leave a life full of memories. Give my body to the flames And throw my ashes away Now the circle is complete I belong to Mother Earth

THE LEPERS GIFT This is how everything ends, Human collapse, Winds of disease fills my lungs, Breathing ashes. Whispering into your ear The predator Hear the words of the beast Chaos made flesh In my head, breeding Toxic life, fading Behold the human weakness, Carnal decay, Demons are lying in wait, Behind your eyes, A monster we have to face, Cancer enthroned, Toxic byproduct of this Life we´re leading In my head, breeding Toxic life, fading Cancer Breeding Inside My brain Cancer Breeding Inside My head

BURIED IN THE SUN Unrepentant I face The void Alone I leave this mortal body Behind me With no regrets For, i lived my life Full of hopes and dreams Until I Heard the call Bury me In The sun Bury me In The sun

THE ABSENTS PRESENCE Lonely star, sprout of dusk I ve seen it cry, tears of blood I ve seen it cry I ve seen it cry In life, we are alone With our pain until we´re gone Until we´re gone Until we´re gone And as this old earth Remains the same, Some day we will fly away Far away from the curse of memory Burden of words that keeps lingering And as this old earth Remains the same, Some day we will fly away Far away from the curse of memory Burden of words that keep lingering Infinity Echoes of time Conceals a wound Hidden inside The soul Infinity Echoes of time Brings back the sea Of memories And the absence Tired soul, its time to go We don´t belong, here no more We don´t belong We don´t belong We don´t belong So many seassons passed They did not waited for us They did not waited They did not waited Don´t waited for us And as this old earth Remains the same, Some day we will fly away Far away from the curse of memory Burden of words that keeps lingering Infinity Echoes of time Conceals a wound Hidden inside The soul Infinity Echoes of time From other life Brings back the tears And the absence

LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR Scum of the Earth, hear me now You are the plague of the centuries A disgrace to mankind Vermin Crawling Through the open wounds Of the soul Parasite Since creation Bottom feeder maggots, feasting On our dreams Society´s burden Fallen Virtues Rotting flesh without reason to exist Shaped in the image of their fucking god Downward spiral Taking us down A new dark age Diseased ridden minds Giving birth to a Legacy of ignorance A new dark age Paradox Of evolution Where the leper and the weak are kings Blessed are the sick Society´s burden Fallen Virtues Rotting flesh without reason to exist Shaped in the image of their fucking god Downward spiral Taking us down A new dark age Diseased ridden minds Giving birth to a Legacy of ignorance A new dark age

AND THE WHITE HORSES... With text from the poem "Bluebird" by Charles Bukowski there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the bitchs and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe? there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep. I say, I know that you're there, so don't be sad. then I put him back, but he's singing a little in there, I haven't quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?

Immaterial 05:56
IMMATERIAL All hail your new master Kneel down before the altar of consume Praise your new god for destroying all your dreams All hail your new master He will shape your desire By his will Waste all your life wanting Things that you dont need All your life has gone by after a mirage So you own the land, so, you own the world, Mirage-hunter. Yet you dont own your Brain-washed mind You´re not in control A modern slave of All those possesions. You just are nothing. Blinded from the truth we cant see what is real in this life. Breathing inside the soul, dreams feed from the Immaterial Open your eyes Behind the shadows Something is hiding May our perception Rise high above And we'll see beyond Immaterial is the light of Reason showing us the path Freedom its a lie when You´ve lost your individual mind I can see much clearer now Stripped from the superfluous Maybe there is something more to life With nothing left to steal or buy

STARVATION SONG Do you know what is like to die of hunger? Alone, in the desert sorrounded by flies. I am crawling Through the barren lands. Woke up on the Wrong side of the world, "Mas allá siempre está el horizonte, siempre mas allá" Sun of the night, face in the sky All around me others wander Lost on the sea of sand, Like black silhouettes staining the earth, We are dying forgotten by the world. Up in the sky the vultures fly And blacken the sun. "Mas allá siempre está el horizonte, siempre mas allá" Sun of the night, Face in the sky

THE VEIN AND THE BLADE Mother Death I´m ready now Take me with you I don´t belong in this world In rivers of blood i reborn Would you accept This offering Of poisoned blood? Existence begins to fade, All i can see is the vein and the blade Here´s my life Useless waste My sacrifice I don´t belong in this world In rivers of blood i reborn Cold caress I reach out for your hand Existence begins to fade, All i can see is the vein and the blade I, the lost one. Alien Wandering through earth I don´t belong in this world In rivers of blood i reborn I, the pariah Will for once make a stand Existence begins to fade, All i can see is the vein and the blade

about

The absents presence is the 3rd release from progressive death metal band Devius. The album is a conceptual work about human emotions from a existentialist perspective, dealing primarily with philosophical and psychological reflections on solitude, the loss of someone close, suicide and departure.
Musically the compositions blends extreme death metal with black metal atmospheres, acoustic passages, melodic and extreme vocals, jazz and latin rhythms and some touches of experimental avant garde noises.
