about

A grinding industrial track paired with vocal harmonies and balalaika. Fanatical solder-slaves give their lives for their holy Empress Of Knives. Beyond death waits their final reward, eternal union with their God-Empress in perpetual, sensual bliss.

lyrics

We give our lives for the Empress of Knives
We dance to the beat of our enemies’ retreat
Measure by measure, her whim and pleasure
Whatever the reason, refusal is treason

Bravely we fight for the mistress of night
Our powder is dry for the first battle cry
Our automatics do acrobatics
Onward we press with no hope of rest

We can rest when we’re dead
Retiring to her holy bed

We are beholden to She of golden
Eyes so entranced by our deadly dance
We are enthralled to answer the call
Of Mistress and Mother above any other

Gracious and blithe the Empress of Knives
For those who impress receive her caress
Bayonets drawn to turn them upon
All who oppose our Lady of Roses

We can rest when we’re dead
Retiring to her holy bed
We can rest when we’re dead
Retiring to her holy bed
We can rest when we’re dead
Retiring to her holy bed
