about

It’s sweet combined with horror of face melting sound gadfly brings with each stroke of their instruments.
Song represents all the blood that has been shed for little amounts of freedom that has been forgotten, taking inspiration from modern Iranian poetry for the lyrics and ethnic melodies.
In sweet blood story you can see in the first verse death it’s something the protagonist is trying to avoid but in last verse it sees death as a better option than staying silence.

lyrics

Where does the blood runs like bushes of rose
birds of silence hover over the corpse
Break away from the cursed hands of death
Watch the blood drip down as slowly as sabbath

Who will find them behind the realm of naught
Who were buried in shroud of blood
Scrape your way to sweet hands of death
Watch your silence fit the form of your lips


In flyaways of birds
Marching ahead of death
They embrace the thunder
Forever alive after death
