Nausea

originally performed by At the Gates,
now crappily covered by Ansgaros

dd.mm.yyyy

First of all, copy&paste this to Notepad or some other program that uses a 
fixed-width font for a nicer viewing.

Now, I know this cover sucks ass and I applied way too much compressor on the 
guitars and all that shit. In addition to that, I played the guitars and 
vocals in one take to get a "live" feeling. There are loads of mistakes and 
timing issues and stuff. Goddamn, fuck it all.

And the reason this wasn't released in IT format (like my releases usually 
are) is purely lazyness. I'm so fucking lazy I couldn't be arsed to cut down 
and "track" the guitars & vocals. This will most likely be the case for my 
coming cover of Judas Priest's Night Crawler, too (the one which I haven't 
even started making yet).

Oh, and if I never get that JP cover done this may well be my last release 
with my own vocals. I will most likely not be doing full-riff guitars anymore, 
either. This is because up to this point in my life I've been living in a 
detached house, and for a year of that I've been living here all alone. It's a 
big house, something like 120 square meters in three separate floors and I've 
been able to practice my singing quite freely (though I haven't actually 
practiced very much). Anyway, I'll move to a rowhouse in a month and I think 
that's gonna be the end of my full-riff guitaring (unless I record 'em through 
ZOOM which, at the moment, seems disgusting) and it'll definately be the end 
of my vocalling.


Lyrics:
--------------------
Release me from your world of lies
I cannot bear this pain
Degenerate machinery
The monsters we create

Nausea, oh sweet nausea

Genetic barcode hell
Mental genocide
Repulsive human shells
Choke on the fruits of life

Nausea, oh sweet nausea

Cold stare, starving eyes
Blinded, tired lives
Release me from this pain
Unknown to man

Nausea, oh sweet nausea

Cold stare, starving eyes
Blinded, tired lives
Release me from this pain
Unknown to man

'The family structure,
victory over adversity
through the family.
Mix the god and country
add the ten hour day
and you had what was needed...'
[C. Bukowski, 'Ham On Rye']
