[Verse 1]
I feel more than human
On a mission to save what I hold dear
Ain't got time for losing
'Cause I know her time may be drawing near
I hear them all around me:
Otherworldly monsters standing in my way
Fate's bestowed upon me
So it's up to me to save the day
[Chorus A]
You'll never take me alive
And I will take what is mine
But after all that is said
I'll stand victorious, knee-deep in the dead
[Verse 2]
You know you won't defeat me
'Cause you know I'm gonna take you down
Senses all augmented:
It's the end for you, there is no doubt
When you all have is muscle,
With my arsenal, you shall disappear
I ain't gonna struggle:
I'll be the only person standing here
{rpt Chorus A}
[Chorus B]
I'll fight your legions of Hell
I'll stop at nothing to kill
There ain't no-one you can't send
I'm gonna pull through, knee-deep in the dead
[Bridge]
As I stand upon the shores of Hell
It's an ultra-violent nightmare
And still I have to shout out loud
I'm too young to die — Rip and tear
I'm too young to die — Rip and tear
{rpt Chorus A}
{rpt Chorus B}
Today marks the tenth anniversary of "Olduvai (Knee-Deep in the Dead)", an admittedly-unknown song from my back catalogue, one that I had never put here on Bandcamp. But, much like what I had done with Aphelion back in 2021, I had long felt that this track also needed the sound it truly deserved.
For archive's sake, I have included the original 2013 version of "Olduvai" alongside the 2023 Redux, both for (minimum) FREE; alternatively you can click "Buy Now" for a bunch of purchase-exclusive extras.
