Nick Mac This album is an experience. Taking you on a journey that spans eras and thrashes you through time with bellowing tones of doom metal. A unique and intriguing style of music. Okapi Busdriver shows they are one of a kind and they busting loose from the herd. Epic album! Favorite track: Scarab Shell.

Everything Burns 02:31

I've seen it with my own eyes Birds of thunder falling all around I've heard it with my own ears Sound of wings cracking the sky Run I've felt it with my own skin Heat fatal to all living things As it goes our time has come Time to face wrath of Kayurankuba Run Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Everything burns Run

Eyes Of Ember 03:55

Wasted earth makes me sad Yellow red with the volant sand I looked up in the sky Vulture flies watching for me Flying high Waiting for me to die I have found lonely tree With green crown Leaves i cannot reach I don't mind I know for sure There is grass Where sun's going down Leaves high But i don't mind Dusk sets the river on fire Blinding light Path down the stream My future homeland My thought's in grim eyes of ember Vanished Breath to survive Let's go start migration Sun is falling close to night Air is trembling from hooves Trampling Stampedes echo sounds like hope I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm among those who don't realize They are in paradise Stubborn minds lazy eyes Deaf ears but full stomach nice Rest is over Bye it's time to go Dusk sets the river on fire Blinding light Path down the stream My future homeland My thought's in grim eyes of ember Vanished Breath to survive

By taking all that i have You signed your death sentence Priceless horn for what you killed Will be your executor Smell of fear I'm so tired from this stupid rules You're prey or hunter One or another Strong feeling of frustration Grows as distance closing Embrace your verdict My hoof on your head

Cursed 06:00

Old man once told me That fools can't exctinct We are shadows Of their ambitions Easy money Righful heir to Fine art of commerce Master of lies And oratory Take this message Curse is spreading Down your village Come to listen her Very last words Very last words Roots are fading Time destroys everything Roots are fading Time destroys everything Vines of regret wrapped tight Around my head whispers Pain in the tongues of old Is just another word for alive Alive Alive Sand's flying By death followed Still trying To bring back eternal Sand's flying By death followed Still trying To bring back eternal

I have my place to hide Better you cannot find It helps my thoughts turn right From encroaching darkness Question has come to mind What if you're just a bait Futile attempt Of bringing me out Glow Can't stand Glow in your eyes Hey Get out my way I'm going home And that's where i planned to stay This world is smaller than My empty scarab shell This world is smaller than My empty scarab shell This world is smaller than My empty

Greatness & Glory 07:30

Three days long We sail like brothers Time goes along Slowly turn us both into frailty while Sun burns my neck And line cuts my hand Destinies anchored us Stronger than this line does It's clearer than the clearest skies I will kill you dead Before this day dies In all your greatness and your glory You want to dive down From agony and pain No it's too late Life hooked you hard You want to dive Into deep blue sea from light No it's too late No From the pierced throat little by little Goes out your blood thin trickle Even if sharks god sends I will kill you dead before this day ends In all your greatness and your glory You want to dive down From agony and pain No it's too late Life hooked you hard You want to dive Into deep blue sea from light No it's too late No Head and bones on the shore Like a dead dreams lying Tied to an old boat Head and bones on the shore Like a dead dreams lying

Something is rising From an ancient depths Destroying all my notion of universe Mystical object Not subject to physic laws All inscribed with letters unknown Surrounded by creatures from nightmares Singing a primal song piercing to the bones I feel like I'm losing my mind Legs refuse to obey Can't look away May there be an end Of the modern world We announce return Of the forgotten god I'll sink the earth Abyss of ocean will rise Not only in your dreams The end is falling near May there be an end Of the modern world We announce return Of the forgotten god

Axes floating In bloody madness I will fight till death We all know there Life is battle And this battle is life Torn asunder Skulls of rivals Black blood river flow The sweetest taste Of all and nothing Taste of victory Running through the time on Expanding universe spiral Killing and dying in most honest ways Now this is fate of mine Endless reincarnation of violence Axes floating In bloody madness I will fight till death We all know there Life is battle And this battle is life

Looking Back At Home 06:54
lyrics

I have a wistful feeling Looking back at home All around is blurred in motion Looking back at home It seems like nothing is real Looking back at home It's all just a troublesome dream Looking back at home Why am i here looking back Back at home I loose horizon out of sight The earth is leaving underfoot And everything is becoming so easy That i don't even have to breathe Thousand miles away Looking back at home Thousand miles away Looking back at home Thousand miles away Looking back at home We are surrounded by infinite stars They are falling and fading away We can reach them with our hands And break Like we broke our hopes From the past Clear your mind off Looking back at home Clear your mind off Looking back at home Clear your mind off Looking back at home
