Life forgotten With Chains and leather Bound and tortured Torn asunder Kneel before her Cease all our sounds We are all slaves In his playhouse Consume his offer Live to serve her Life in bondage Venus in furs Life forgotten In latex gouns Bound and tortured In his playhouse We are all slaves In his playhouse Bound and tortured In her playhouse We are all slaves In his playhouse Bound and tortured In her playhouse

Partizan! 02:52
Cities aflame Empires rust Gone are our freedoms From a dagger's thrust Young partisan Fights with honor With his comrades For the working class Do you hear the people cry? Do you hear the people cry? They scream in the night Cries for freedom! Cities aflame Empires rust Gone are our freedoms Turned to dust Young partisan Fights with valor With his comrades For the working class Do you hear the people cry? Do you hear the people cry? They scream in the night Cries for freedom!

Dusk comes once more This chill is not a welcoming one I feel nothing more When our meeting is said and done Submission was my quest Now I'm left cold until the morning comes The sun finally sets... The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day Goddess gives and takes From all whom are deemed to be worthy Life is a gun Pointed at us when we are unruly Submission was my quest Now I'm left cold until the morning comes The sun finally sets... The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day The sun finally sets On the night of my libertine day

And we shall Cover the world in gold When we are reprieved And at the Gates of Heaven We shall be received Liberté! égalité! Fraternité! The chains of villainy Wrap around us all But on the day of liberation We shall have it all! Liberté! égalité! Fraternité! And we shall Cover the world in gold When we are reprieved And at the Gates of Heaven We shall be received

Baphomet 03:52
I saw a man softly weeping last night I asked him if everything was alright He said that this world would be set aflame And each and everyone of us were to blame And on that day we met He said his name was Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet I invoke thee O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet I invoke thee I asked him if he could make me a better man He said that he could. I took his hand And then I saw hammers and sickles in the sky And great big algiz runes in his eyes Like Christ's thunder perfect mind Hail wisdom till the end of time O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet I invoke thee O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet O Baphomet o Baphomet I invoke thee

What once was sacred What once was loved Is dead and gone now For both of us What was special For you and me Is Forsaken and I can't see

Assisi 03:03
Make me a channel of your peace, Where there is hatred let me bring your love, Where there is injury your pardon Lord, And where there’s doubt true faith in you. Make me a channel of your peace, Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope, Where there is darkness, only light, And where there’s sadness, ever joy. O Master grant that I may never seek, So much to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of your peace, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, In giving of ourselves that we receive. And in dying that we’re born to eternal life. O Master grant that I may never seek, So much to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, And to love as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of your peace, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, In giving of ourselves that we receive. And in dying that we’re born to eternal life. Make me a channel of your peace. Amen.

about

The second release by Baltimore neofolk band Autumn Brigade. For physical copies of this album, please visit the label's page at selfloathingrecords.bandcamp.com

Dedicated to those who I love, those who I hate, and those who I hurt. May we all heal and go our separate ways. Heilige!

"His output ranges between martial industrial and apocalyptic folk. "My Libertine Day" adds dazzling e-guitar pages to the sound. Almost forgotten in Europe are the calls of the French Revolution “Liberté! égalité! Fraternité! ”In the title track, which still inspires people in other regions of the world." -Conrad Wilitzki, popmonitor.de

"Overall, the album presents a psychosexual exploration of conflict, resolution, spirituality, and revolution. Tracks like 'Assisi' give hints of dreamy theological cacophony, while tracks like 'Death Rides A Panzer' bring a totality of martial industrial terror. This is an album of many lyrically engaging faces, a whirlwind of crosses and bombs, pentagrams and ballgags, hammers and sickles." -LEFT/FOLK

'It's still this neofolk side that can be taken in a very literal way as heavy handed, but you see something else behind it, it's subtler than it looks. The album is crazy, it's been a long time since I have listened to such successful music, in a genre in which it is incredibly hard to stand out." -kfuel.org (translated from French)
