Decapitated - The Knife Lyrics

The 90s was more evil. All this music is technical death metal. Go listen to some real death metal like old Morbid Angel. This crap is like Mudvayne or staind.

mudvayne , staind so this is nu metal for you ? hahahaaa

Oceans mumble their songs to deaf ears of sands
Mountains guard their dominions until the end of time
Rivers carve hieroglyphs only read by the birds
Lion hunts antelope, hyenas fight over the corpse
Breed then kill or get killed, holy circle of life
Red sun rises again, chokes cold light of stars
I sharpen the knife

Wooden Handle
Bolster, heel
Edge of cold steel
Mirror mirror
Speak to to me

Now the painting is done, bored models dress up
German writer, Asian poet, both expect Nobel prize
New Picasso's sketch on sale, bids mostly from Japan
Hagia Sophia gets new roof, circus hires new clown
Ballerinas bleed but dance, famous composer gets bald
All music's already been played, critics are always right
And I sharpen the knife

Wooden handle
Bolster, heel
Edge of cold steel
Mirror mirror
Speak to me


News on breakfast television drown in a shit of lies
UN troops storm Kabul, or Cairo, or Baghdad
That war was wrong but this one is so right
Cure for cancer nearly there- perfect drug, decent price
White smoke covers Rome, habemus papam
Farmer in Montana breeds two-headed cows
I still sharpen the knife

Wooden handle
Bolster, heel
Edge of cold steel
Mirror mirror
Speak to me

This track is pretty rad even though I'm not the biggest fan of this album. Sounds like good mix of technicality and groove. Even Rasta's shouting doesn't bother me that much.

I'm sorry but this is garbage (organised mess).. metalhead speaking..

Oceans mumble their songs to deaf ears of sands
Mountains guard their dominions until the end of time
Rivers carve hieroglyphs only read by the birds
Lion hunts antelope, hyenas fight over the corpse
Breed then kill or get killed, holy circle of life
Red sun rises again, chokes cold light of stars
I sharpen the knife

Wooden Handle
Bolster, heel
Edge of cold steel
Mirror mirror
Speak to to me

Now the painting is done, bored models dress up
German writer, Asian poet, both expect Nobel prize
New Picasso's sketch on sale, bids mostly from Japan
Hagia Sophia gets new roof, circus hires new clown
Ballerinas bleed but dance, famous composer gets bald
All music's already been played, critics are always right
And I sharpen the knife

Wooden handle

Decapitated are brutal!!!! My taste of music indeed!!!!!!!!!!!

The part starting at 2:20 is gold

yeah. sick as hell.

a view from a hole please

saw them in paris man ! What a show !

Where did you see them?
I saw them in Frankfurt last tuesday. Fuckin' awesome!

I love how the guitar sounds specially in this song!.

This album is one hell of a brutal gear-fucking. AWESOME!

then go listen to it.

Same here dude ! It used to be somehow boring like a constant pitch no variation. but here the guy has made a major leap in his technic and passing through his emotions in his vocals. I saw them and meshuggah last night. DAMN IT WAS FUCKING GOOD !

You're not the only one, Rafal is a brutal vocalist, and people say they are Decapitated 'fans' if they were fans they would like Rafel. Fave song from the album

Miss sphere's of madness? come on its a solid track but this band is evolving so amazingly. I love watching their progression. Hail vogg, new vocalist is awesome as well.

This is fucking good. These guys are still a force to be reckoned with.

krimh left?

DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also - I know I'm going Decapitated crazy right now, but the part after the solo (@ 3:25 roughly) is badass - the notes just flow together so nicely...

I totally agree. I've been listening myself since the Nihility album. Decapitated's gone through a lot of changes since then. Sauron's great; and so was Covan and now I've gotten into this guy = almost reminds me of Max Cavalera. Point being: Decapitated will always rule and therefore will always sound great - no matter who's backing Vogg up. Also, this is my favorite song on the album.

maan Covan had such an awesome voice..listening to Nihility again..R.I.P Vitek

Go listen to it then

Fungus, probably.

Sound similar to older Textures

new vocalist is awesome ... stop complaining!

they are coming in my country ^^ nepal soon

It's really great. People are usually pricks when a band changes something be it their look or their music but the majority of people are enjoying the new Decapitated and hopefully they'll be around for years to come!

I miss speheres of madness too.

The creativity put in combinations of riff and rhythm is outstanding!

i miss spheres ofmadness

sounds like old meshuggah. i can manage

my favorite decapitated song <3 and this is from a girl's point of view :))

is it possible that I am the only one who like their new vocalist ;D ^^ I just love this album ^^

rafals live vocals are fucking brutal

i used to not like their new singer but something grew on me with him

my god that fucking guitar sound is fucking sick
