I recently found the band Closure in Moscow and was blown away by their music. Even if you don't actually like the song, you gotta love their lyrics. They seem to throw in some old style words like "tenet" "bezel" and "cancrine". (dictionary time!)

Here are just a few verses:

I'm a Ghost of Twilight
Suspended eventide can only mean one thing
I'm a ghost of twilight
Haunting neither night nor day
With one foot treading sweet rapture
And one foot in the grave


Vanguard
Don't you ever speak that name
Break the very tenets that you spit in my face
Now I'm ready to obliterate
So send me all your preachers
And I'll put them all to shame
I'll be the vanguard of their fall
Middle of their falter
Bezel in their rings
Dropping all the stones


Arecibo Message
my earthly womb in your monolith
you've got it sewn, bunching at my hips
i ventured to your city to meet you at your throne
but i'm stuck inside your vestibule with no way to atone

i gnashed my vexing jowl at the suffragette crown
the temple steps above my cringe
the temple steps beneath my scowl
and what's the use of pleading thirst,
i see you drinking from my cup

you're not the flesh i was after so i try scraping off the blight
can't get no passage to my terminus when i'm dying every night
so don't perspire with excitement
in fact don't perspire at all
the jewel of my retribution makes empires rise and fall

how could you defy these precious little ones
the very ones that show you love
i know you've got that filament
so how could you defy these precious little ones

somethings got a hold on me, about to breech the seat
you're not the flesh i was after so i try scraping off the blight
can't get no passage to my terminus when i'm dying every night
so don't perspire with excitement
in fact don't perspire at all
if the drones become enlightened
you'll have such a noble swarm...



Lovin' it!
Here's one of their songs if you want to listen to them
