All of the longing
Condensed in this place and time
I invoke you, O spirits, crawl inside
Then awaken my conscience
Lain dormant for all this time
And feed the despair that pervades my life, yeah

In the hold of a nightmare
I see truth in their words and lies
And beauty appears in sorrow's guise
So caught in the moment
We ignore the passing of time
And mistake the empty for the sublime, yeah

Oh, my savior
Give value to these misdeeds
In sin you bathe me
Holy
So I say that the father lies
And my dreams will betray me tonight

Obey the scourge of night
May darkness bring sight
I welcome your grace
Upon this night

All of the longing
And thoughts scribed in soothing fire
The ashes and smoke breed my desire
Abject and misshapen
To you I give all that I'm worth
My swarthy children of the earth, yeah

Oh, can these words be given shape
Oh, does the fool acknowledge fate

Sing with the song of Abdullah, Awakening The Colossus lyrics!

I've awaken the monster
The one that exists in my mind
In fear I behold the apparent divine
It grants me one vision
The mother in death giving birth
To the swarthy children of the earth, yeah

Oh, our savior
Pour deep within me
In blackness forsake me
Holy

So I say that the father lies
And my dreams will betray me tonight, yeah

Breathe slightly
Sleep soundly
All through this night
Breathe slightly
Sleep soundly
All through this night

I'm under its spell
I am too small
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
Will you be with me when I fall
I'm under its spell
I am too small
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
Will you be with me when I fall
I'm under its spell
I am too small
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
Will you be with me when I fall

Artist Information

Profile:

Brought to life in 1998, Abdullah play what the band members define as 'death rock': essentially a mixture of Heavy Metal and more modern Doom Metal structures with the influences of acts such as Black Sabbath, The Obsessed and St. Vitus (even though they mention The Misfits, Acid Bath and Entombed as major influences too). The band has rarely had any line-up changes and currently consists of Jeff Shirilla (vocals), Alan Seibert (guitars), Jim Simonian (drums) and Ed Stephens (bass). After recording three demos, the band signed to Rage of Achilles in 1999 and released an EP, "Snake Lore", followed by a self-titled full-length in 2000. 2002's "Graveyard Poetry" gained the band international respect and they were able to play with mainstream acts such as Chevelle and Mushroomhead. A split with Nephusim followed the following year.
