Lyrics to Pig Destroyer/Coldworker/Antigama

FAR BEYOND DRIVEN
Music: A. Bertilsson, A. Jakobson
Lyrics: A. Jakobson

I wipe the blood from my hands
Clear my mind of crimson stains
As the sun ignites the horizon
I am haunted by the ones I have slain

And they will know me by the trail of dead
The truth is hidden among the bones
And they will know me by the trail of red
I'm judged by the dead from their massive thrones

Driven far beyond what is right
It's time for me to face my sins
My anxiety tears me apart
It's a battle that evil always wins

And they will know me by the trail of dead
The truth is hidden among the bones
And they will know me by the trail of red
I'm judged by the dead from their massive thrones

They'll haunt me, harass me and make me bleed
My fear of the dark side will shape my end
They'll catch me, crush me and make me bleed
I'm drawing my last breath as darkness descends

The Doomsayer's Call

Coldworker has evolved into a finely tuned Swedish death metal machine on its second full-length Rotting Paradise. Rotting Paradise balances modern metal brutality, and distinctly European flourishes of metallic grandeur to form the quintessential Swedish death metal album for a new century of extremity.

From Relapse.com

Sweden's Coldworker storms out of the gates with it's debut The Contaminated Void. Conceived and created by Anders Jakobson (of the legendary Nasum) and his hand-picked selection of burgeoning metal players, Coldworker's razor-sharp attack is destined to send shockwaves through the international extreme scene. The Contaminated Void's fourteen tracks swarm with equal parts crushing riffs, blazing speed, and menacing vocal onslaughts. Outrageously agile guitars balance melodic leads with relentless aggression. From start to finish, The Contaminated Void burns with a ferocity and intensity rarely seen in any genre of metal. Simply stated, Coldworker and The Contaminated Void is among the finest Scandinavian metal this side of the 21st century.
