Chelsea Wolfe - Color Of Blood Lyrics

My dear friend made me discover this artist. We always put this one and mer in his car. Sadly he passed away and just rediscover this song...

Epic song.

Can't stop listening to this one. Gave up trying.

Such a powerful song!

Love the Novocaine drip... Best track on the album.

I enjoy her singing melodies on this record! !

Foda demais!

This woman is a GODDESS!

Never in my life I had thought a lisp would make me get the chills, I love this song so much

I feel like this song would be great to have sex to

This is a great song. Sounds like she's wearing a retainer.

Hah, no kidding. I was fiddling with my headphone jack to make sure it was connected properly. What is she doing, channeling Tom Rapp from Pearls Before Swine?

Love this song, but the fake lisp drives me absolutely crazy. Wish I could un-hear it...

This album is perfect for a sensual horror movie.

Yes, it is very soundtracky!

I love you Amanda for ever. 11-15-17

¡Holi amigos!

Sounds like Reverend Bizarre’s Strange Horizon

I've found Beauty on it's own pure level-

that distortion is wonderfully nasty

sopinha the massa, a tipa

My 6-year-old sons' commentary was, that she sounds like Sid from Ice Age. Children are brutally honest. He likes the song anyways ; )

A HUNGER NEVER SATISFIED
I CAN’T KEEP YOU OFF MY MIND
DANCING, MOVING, PASSING TIME
LOST WORLDS AND ENDLESS NIGHTS
I HELD YOU AT A DISTANCE THEN
SO I COULD KEEP YOU SACRED NOW
I WATCHED THE VEINS UNDER MY SKIN
MOVING, CHANGING FROM BLUE TO RED
THOSE COLORS BATTLE TO REPENT
FIGHTING SOME KIND OF PUNISHMENT
FOR LOVING YOU
THE DEATHLESS TELL ME
GO ON, STAY LOW
GROW OLD AND LET YOUR HAIR GROW
IN SLEEP THERE IS NO SORROW
SLOWLY PROLONGING A CRUEL FATE
FOR LOVING YOU
THEY HEAR EVERYTHING
THEY GLOW WITH THEIR OWN LIGHT
THEY SING OUT YOUR NAME
A THOUSAND TIMES A NIGHT
GENERATIONS OF SADNESS
INBRED AND UNDER FIRE
IN A THOUSAND LANGUAGES
A WORD FOR THIS DESIRE
FOR LOVING YOU

I love the use of the vocal harmonizer on this, it is such a brilliant song! This one haunted me all summer, perfect for driving at 11 p.m., utter night music!

She's really evolved a lot over the past few years. I saw her live in September 2012 for the first time at a small bar, and then recently saw her again this past May of 2016 (at a considerably larger venue) she was SO much more confident onstage; her sound had also developed in a lot of interesting ways. I hadn't actually listened to this album prior to seeing that recent show, so I barely knew any of the new songs, but I've gotten around to it and really liked what I've heard. She had me hooked with Apokalypsis—she's something special.

I dont understand the obsession, lo-fang is waaaaaay better.

train wreck i dont understand your trash opinion. No one asked for it. And btw if you dont like her why come to her music? Just to annoy those who love her? Wow. What an intelligence. 😂

Well, not every music/musician for everyone!

So good. And such a refreshing sound.

One of the best musicians alive today. Period

absolutely

Lovely!!!!

BTW:
This is a half cover of Jesse K Philips track "Arteries"
Worth checking out.

I love how she's faking a vampire accent with the way she can't pronounce some letters like " s " :D

I don´t mind her bringing me forth before eternity.. and back..

It's not an accent....she IS a vampire.

Dominik Wysocki is right. It's not a lisp or mispronunciation. I tried to do a cover of this song, and the same sound was created when I added a pitched down vocal layer under the main vocal layer.

The lisp of doom.

I got the sense, but what makes you think vampires can't pronounce "s"? They speak normally, just when they transform they sound double voiced and one of them pitch shifted with strange fast modulations.

pelle d'oca cazzo ,pelle d'oca !

I love her haunting style. very captivating

Seeing her in Seattle, hoping she will do this one

This is my favourite track in this OUTSTANDING album. I absolutely love the lyrics. They set such an atmosphere.

A hunger never satisfied
I can’t keep you off my mind
Dancing, moving, passing time
Lost worlds and endless nights
I held you at a distance then
So i could keep you sacred now
I watched the veins under my skin
Moving, changing from blue to red
Those colors battle to repent
Fighting some kind of punishment
For loving you
The deathless tell me
Go on, stay low
Grow old and let your hair grow
In sleep there is no sorrow
Slowly prolonging a cruel fate
For loving you
They hear everything
They glow with their own light
They sing out your name
A thousand times a night
Generations of sadness
Inbred and under fire
In a thousand languages
A word for this desire
For loving you

cursedravenZA tak👍

Do you know what the song is about? Cause I don't get it.

Seems like a story about someone letting go of love because they became a vampire. You're now cursed with immortality, outliving who ever you loved, and you're punished by always having them in your memory.

"Generations of sadness"

@Saru2191 Or, it is something a little more grounded and real.

sounds like she just had a few shots of ... novocaine, but this album overall is incredi-fucking-ble!

this one is my favorite in this album

The riff sounds totally like Electric Wizard's "Witchcult Today," "Satanic Rites of Drugula," or "Wizard in Black." I like all the distortion, but not my favorite from Abyss.

i love abyss too...but on that song she sounds like she is lispin or something... and i wonder why...

@Thalamea7 I think she used/uses weird vocal delays, reverb, and other altering effects for an odd tonality. She also screams all crazy and so it's not too hard to believe she could try to sing with a lisp in order to create a more emotional effect or something.

@Ocean Sage I would respectfully disagree. Although I can hear the riff from Satanic Rites, to me this came off as one of the strongest tracks on the record (my personal favorite actually). The entire track just seems to lumber along at an excruciating pace and the drum build just seems to hit at the perfect time for me. I saw your comment on Anthony Fantano's channel and checked the K. Phillips track by comparison and although I see the cover aspect of the song, I just feel like she really did it justice with the vocals. The feedback portion during the last half of the track feels really well-controlled and subtle for what it becomes by the end. I have to partially credit that to the influence brought in by Russian Circles, but for me it just really glues everything together. I got to see her when she came to Nashville with Pain is Beauty and I can't wait to see her again in September...really hoping she plays this track at really extreme volume haha. Cheers!

Except this is way better, lol.
