It Dies Today!

It Dies Today - Severed Ties Yield Severed Heads

The eve of my collapse I was feeling slightly murderous,
So I intercepted Cupid's arrow.
With passion and precision I severed the pig's head.

It's the way she looks at me and
Possesses me to collect the head of anyone,
Collect the head of those who look her way.
It's the way her whispers seems to kiss my ear,
I'd collect the head of anyone,
Collect the head of those graced by her voice.

Her mournful screams were like a melody of unimaginable beauty.
I forced her hand in mine as we danced to her song of lament.
Oh how I reveled in the gratification,
This slaying of a most loathsome one.

It's the way she looks at me and
Possesses me to collect the head of anyone,
Collect the head of those who look her way.
It's the way her whispers seems to kiss my ear,
I'd collect the head of anyone,
Collect the head of those graced by her voice.

Dance, dance with me tonight,
So you may see what our "truest" love has made of me.

It's the way she looks at me and
Possesses me to collect the head of anyone,
Collect the head of those who look her way.
It's the way her whispers seems to kiss my ear,
I'd collect the head of anyone,
Collect the head of those graced by her voice.

It Dies Today - A Threnody For Modern Romance

Alas, here is your serenade my darling
That leaves you speechless and weak.
May it teach you how to feel,
May it remedy your heartlessness,
And may your cries not interrupt this swansong.

This is a call to arms
For all those who recognize romance as,
As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves;
This is a call to arms
For all who hold this sacrament close,
May our hearts burn on.

How dare you weep,
For it's insincerity that trickles down your face.
Alas, here is your serenade my darling.
And oh, what a long time coming it has been.
This cruel lullaby that shall plague your dreams
And carry me towards revolution.

This is a call to arms
For all those who recognize romance as,
As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves;
This is a call to arms
For all who hold this sacrament close,
May our hearts burn on.

I'll sing for you the threnody of modern romance.

This is a call to arms
For all those who recognize romance as,
As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves;
This is a call to arms
For all who hold this sacrament close,
May our hearts burn on.

I love both of these songs. "Severed Ties Yield Severed Heads" is a super powerful/passionate song that easily fills you with that power/passion. "A Threnody For Modern Romance" isn't as powerful, but it definitely makes up for its lack of power with deeper lyrical quality. "A Threnody For Modern Romance" gets stuck in my head way easier due to the lyrical quality. However, it is so much easier to thrash out to "Severed Ties Yield Severed Heads".

It Dies Today is an amazing band. I almost like them as much as I like Caliban. Yes I know... they are of two different genres with two separate sounds. (Caliban is way more hardcore ^__^)
Still, they are one of my favorite bands among the multitude of bands in my huge list of likable music. *thumbs up*
