The Enigma Within

from Consort Of The Dying God by Goat Of Mendes

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Entitled "CONSORT OF THE DYING GOD", Goat Of Mendes present their first complete concept album with a playing time of nearly 70 minutes.
    Inspired by the annual Gypsy celebration for their saint Sara la Kali in Saintes Maries de la Mer, GOM have woven a fascinating story around ancient gypsy faith and legends, dark secrets of early Christianity and the very essence of being a Pagan.

    GOM have enriched their already unique style by integrating elements of hungarian and romanian folklore and haunting gypsy scales.
    Apart from this, the new record of course still features crunching, yet melodic twin guitar work, thunderous drumming, awesome leads and variable, charismatic vocals.

lyrics

The Enigma Within

My life lies torn and shattered
By what I just have seen
My faith in divine mercy
Has turned to misery


Sara’s Voice:
Take my hand and let me be your guidance
The truth lies ‘neath a fake reality
For my people I’m the lantern in the night
Let my light also shine for thee


Jealousy and greed
- What is left, when just power is divine?
Pride and vanity
- I just can’t treat the world as mine

Violence and strife
- Can’t teach salvation by the sword
Death preferred to life
- Can’t call a mangled corpse my Lord


Refrain male:
From my mind’s sanctuary, the outside world seems wrong to me
The wheel of life and death seems twisted to necromancy
Cannot comply much longer to the way my life had been
For once I know the truth, an Enigma within


Sara’s voice:
For a gypsies’ eyes a track was lain in secret
Disguised to those who’re blinded by their zeal
Follow the Black Madonna’s northbound trail
Beneath the dark soil secrets will unveil

Soon our time will come
- Beneath the surface there’s a stir
You’re not the only one
- Soon faint ripples will occur
Those who follow me
- Until the rising of the tide
Hold faith in secrecy
- When all deceit is swept aside

Refrain m/f:
What you can’t beat in strength, you slowly have to infiltrate
Like it was done before, their symbols you assimilate
A mask of piety well conceals an ancient origin
A silent Enigma, the Enigma within


Refrain male:
From deepest solitude her voice roused me to wake
They might oppress me, but what’s in my mind they cannot take
There’s still a way to keep alive the truth what once had been
For my still beating heart now keeps the Enigma within


A secret to reveal
I leave my lonely hermitage
The death throes of a god
Shall dawn the coming age


Refrain m/f:
What you can’t beat in strength, you slowly have to infiltrate
Like it was done before, their symbols you assimilate
A mask of piety well conceals an ancient origin
A silent Enigma, the Enigma within
