Azazel narrates teaching metallurgy, weapons, cosmetics, and gems—sparking war and vanity. Growls confess the descent, forbidden gifts, and binding in Dudael's jagged stones. Orchestra hammers the forge; choir echoes divine curse. A confession of pride and eternal punishment—the forger who armed mankind now chained forever. #AzazelForgerOfBlades #WatchersLament #AshesOfTheMartyrs #SymphonicBlackenedDeath #EnochMetal #BoundInDudael #SecretsOfWarmore

A brutal, poetic descent into temptation and regret, "The Waste of Shame" transforms Shakespeare’s Sonnet 129 into a hard-hitting confessional. Dark, explosive beats collide with Elizabethan fury as desire becomes violence, guilt, and raw self-exposure. A fierce fusion of classic verse and street-level intensity. Lyrics Th’ expense of spirit in a waste of shame Is lust in action; and, till action, lust Is perjured, murd’rous, bloody, full of blame, Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust; Enjoyed no sooner but despisèd straight; Past reason hunted, and no sooner had, Past reason hated as a swallowed bait On purpose laid to make the taker mad. Mad in pursuit and in possession so; Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; A bliss in proof and proved a very woe; Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream. All this the world well knows, yet none knows well To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell. [INTRO – whispered] Spirit spent… heart bent… Every hunger paid in blood and rent… [VERSE 1] Yeah, the cost of desire hit harder than heat, Put a man in the dirt, put his pride on the street. All that thirst in my chest, got me losin’ my way, Turn a king to a pawn by the end of the day. I been chasin’ that fire with a blind man’s aim, Every touch that I crave got me drownin’ in shame. Before it happens, I’m wild — ain’t no holdin’ me back, But once I get what I wanted, all I see is the black. Pullin’ triggers for thrills, spillin’ spirit for smoke, Every promise I make turn to lies that I spoke. Cravin’ heat like a beast that ain’t never been fed— But the minute it’s done, man, I wish I was dead. [HOOK] Lust got teeth like a wolf in the night, Make a man sell his soul just to feel somethin’ right. But the moment that hunger get fed in the dark, It turn poison, turn frost, put a blade through the heart. Yeah, I chase what I hate, then I hate what I chase— Every pleasure that I grab leave a scar on my face. Ain’t no glory in the thrill, ain’t no joy in the flame— Just the expense of the spirit in the waste of shame. [VERSE 2] I done walked through the fire with a hole in my chest, Chasin’ shadows and ghosts, thinkin’ hunger was blessed. Every whisper of want felt like somethin’ divine, Till I looked in the mirror, saw a man in decline. See, before the sin hits, it be sweet, it be bold, Make a warrior forget every lesson he’s told. But after? It rot on your tongue like a lie— Make a killer break down, make a grown man cry. You ever fight for a feelin’ that ain’t worth the fight? Ever die for a moment that don’t last the night? Yeah, I lived in that darkness, every page of my life, Where desire cut deep like a switchblade knife. [HOOK] Lust got teeth like a wolf in the night, Make a man sell his soul just to feel somethin’ right. But the moment that hunger get fed in the dark, It turn poison, turn frost, put a blade through the heart. Yeah, I chase what I hate, then I hate what I chase— Every pleasure that I grab leave a scar on my face. Ain’t no glory in the thrill, ain’t no joy in the flame— Just the expense of the spirit in the waste of shame. [BRIDGE – spoken, Shakespearean cadence] What we desire, We desire against reason. What we pursue, We pursue at our treason. The hunter… becomes the hunted. [VERSE 3 – final] Now I stand on the ashes of the choices I made, Tryna rise from the dirt of the mess that I laid. Shakespeare wrote it in ink, I lived it in blood— All my hunger was fire, all my peace turned to mud. If desire be a demon, then I danced with the beast, Feastin’ hard on the sin till the sin did the feast. But I learned in the ruin, in the loss, in the blame— Every pleasure worth nothin’ if it leaves you in shame. [OUTRO – soft] Spirit spent… Heart bent… Let no man walk that road again.more
