Imperfect Like A God

by Trauma

supported by

Craig Maloney Back in the days of ubiquitous Usenet I stumbled upon this album. After checking it out I've been in pursuit of legally picking up this album ever since.

Rare is the band that can put out an album without any filler. Rarer still is a band that can manage to have a consistently amazing discography. This is that album, and this is that band.

I'm glad Trauma is finally on Bandcamp so the rest of the world can experience their crushing music. Favorite track: The Madness Here.

about

Trauma 3rd Studio album (4th including live CD) release for Empire Records/Adipocere

"The material itself of the album can be compared to Behemoth, Dies Irae, and Vader (no i'm not gonna mention all the polish bands i know hehe) but with a newer twist and spirit, it has all you want from raging riffs to moshing parts to the 10000mph blastbeats to hypnotic solos and did i mention that this CD is so damn catchy?
I'll spare you my ranting with one last word to say ... BUY or F**KING DIE!!"

Track Name: Blade Under Your Throat: There are demons in my mind
They still whisper to me
“You must do it, You must do it”
“Do it now, You have kill”

Need is very unbreakable
Hand is touching knife

I know that I’m mad
Morally tainted
But nature is unperfect
And I’m her defect

Look at you and feel your fear
I’m possessed, I’m insane
I’m possessed, I’m insane

Lust rising inside
Deep in my mind
Blade under your throat
Seducing me, obsessing me

Look at you and feel your fear
I’m possessed, I’m insane
I’m possessed, I’m insane

...Blade! ...under! ...your throat!

God is in my cold blade!
His mercy six feet under!
Bloody proof fill on your throat!

[Lead: MISTER]

There are demons in my mind
They still whisper to me
“You must do it, You must do it”
“Do it now, You have kill”

Need is very unbreakable
Hand is touching knife

Look at you and feel your fear
I’m possessed, I’m insane
I’m possessed, I’m insane
Track Name: The Hidden Seed: We are the pulse
Subcutaneous thrill
The signs of existence
The ancient past
Here in this world
The hidden seed
Growing through
Human weeds...
They falling, they dying
And we are trigger
The tribulation and incarnation
Likewise hundred years ago
We’ll take control
We’ll take control

We’ll take control
We are masterrace
We are the pulse
Domination of masterrace

[Lead: MISTER]

The third eye
The center of the storm
And mirror’s hall
The hidden gate
And telescope
To our past and future
To the heart of space
Do you feel the pulse?

From the outer space
From the outer place
The ancient past
In the world beneath
In the world down below
The truths and secrets
Of human mind
The core of mystery
And keys to recreation
Messages come in dreams
Don’t ignore the fact
That we are masterrace

Hidden seed, Hidden seed
To the end
Track Name: The Madness Here: I live like
The driftice
Forsaken by
Unholy god
Unholy god from pits of heaven

Unholy god...

I’m like a moth
Searching the light
In the darkness
The madness is here

The beast of Armageddon
Riding on the purple horse
The purple horse
The bridge between
Right and left path
Of my guide
The madness is here
The madness is here
The madness, state of my mind
The madness is here...

Steel pillars
Supporting the inner sea
Conventional questions
Simple answers
Annihilation of dogmas
In this madness here

[Lead: MISTER]

Animal instincts
And spiritual disorder
Persistence in searching
For the right key
For the right key

The madness is here
The madness, state of my mind
The madness is here...
Track Name: Beyond The Perception: Insanity
Many different thoughts
I remember only
Pieces of time
I’m lost in reality
Constellation of myriads
Neurons
Waiting for final signal
In my view
It’s escape to normality
But I’m not sure
Why do you bother me?

Is it a part of the dream?
Is it a heroine trip?
Like in a cage
Neverending maze

On the edge of nightmare
I feel like a part of game
Like a cog in
Neverending maze

Down beyond the perception
Beyond the perception
Down beyond the perception
Beyond the perception

[Lead: MISTER]

Down beyond the perception
I try to be myself
In my dream all things
Are real and plain
So horrible life ends
In gray lights of reality
But I’m not sure
Why do you bother me?

Down beyond the perception
Beyond the perception
Down beyond the perception
Beyond the perception
Track Name: Imperfect Like A God: Conquer in the name of god
Human psycho in the mask of god
Extermination - our law
So we conquer, so we kill - our law

Imperfect
Imperfect like a god
Imperfect
Imperfect like a god

Nobody in this world
Knows everything about the dream
Revelation - our war
The perfect resolution - our law

The shame and misery
Flowing through the mouth of god
Condemnation - our destiny
Proud and free with this gift

The worst nightmare
Rising of the hidden beasts
Recreation - our aim
We know down social law

[Lead: MISTER]

In the deepest dream
All the reasonable travelers believe in
Reconstruction - our hope
So we fall and rise again - our hope

Imperfect
Imperfect like a god
Imperfect
Imperfect like a god
Track Name: Make Me Blind: I see your all hypocrisy
I see your misery
Adored, worshiped
The long spectacle
Began two thousand years ago

I don’t want to hear a psalms
I don’t want your mercy
I don’t want to see your ‘kingdom’
I don’t want to hear a psalms
I don’t want your mercy
I don’t want to see your ‘kingdom’

Make me blind!
Make me blind!

Soulless god!
Merciless god!
Unperfect god!
I don’t want to live
In hell or in heaven
I want to live
Absolute elsewhere
I don’t want to see your “kingdom”

[Lead: MISTER]

Make me blind!
Make me blind!

Soulless god!
Merciless god!
Unperfect god!
Like the first and the last
Like alpha and omega
You would like rule
But the earth is mine

Sophistication
The only well known way
Of your actions
I don’t jeopardize my fidelity
Only for your heaven
Congenital liar
Bound for blindness
The greatest gift
From you

I don’t want to hear a psalms
I don’t want your mercy
I don’t want to see your “kingdom”
I don’t want to hear a psalms
I don’t want your mercy
I don’t want to see your “kingdom”

Make me blind!
Make me blind!
Track Name: Spiritual Disorder: Take look at your back
Maybe you see the shadow
Loosing
Your mind
Just before next corner-feel

Feel fucking weakness
Fear in your eyes
Darkness!
Darkness in your soul
Fear!
This is real world

Hungry wolf in every move
I spill your blood
The ignorance of society
Is my strongest weapon
Tell me, tell me, tell me when you want to die
Tell me, tell me when you want to die

Fear in your eyes
Darkness in your soul
This is real world

You wish of death
You pray for death
The sociopath is my name
Angry for everything around
I’ll take you to my hell

[Lead: MISTER]

You think you’re so great
Look at the mirror
You’re familiar with me
In every wry face
I see the smile of hungry demon
I see the smile of hungry demon

Fear in your eyes
Darkness in your soul
This is real world
Track Name: Perplexity Of Truths: Throwing away vision of life
Vision well known before
You were born
Throwing away standards
You’ve become outcast

Planes like missiles
In the name of god
Strange vision I dislike
Perplexity of truths
Leading to nowhere

Screaming for vengeance
Screaming for revenge
You set fire under this world
This is your extravagance
And way of life

Perplexity of truths...

You are exulting now
Soon you’ll be dead
I kill you in the name
Of my fucking way
My way of life

[Lead: Mister]

Perplexity of truths
Leading to nowhere

Screaming for vengeance
Screaming for revenge
You set fire under this world
This is your extravagance
And way of life

Perplexity of truths...
If I want I can be
The right hand of god
The left hand of Satan
It doesn’t matter
In my way of life
Track Name: Outrage To Fools: The hell inside
In our minds
The key to understand
The wreak of havoc
If you feel contempt
To the slime
The outrage to fools
Enjoy the hellfire club

Profane words
Just stupid lies
In our world
Nothing and everything
Is blasphemy

Wolf amongst the sheeps
Infernal law rules everywhere
But in normal life
You have to be the same
Don’t tell me
It is hard to be yourself
If you blame the world
The coward is your name

[Lead: MISTER]

Profane words
Just stupid lies
In our world
Nothing and everything
Is blasphemy
The truth is, that
The most important is
Your fucking life
The first and the last
And nothing’s change

The hell inside
In our minds
The every move
Behind your back
The every men
You stay in touch
The part of slime that you can be
Without hellfire club

Since I had to remove my HiFi System and this album is nowhere found on Spotify I just bought it again because it's just too good and my day at work wouldn't be complete if I don't listen to it at least once in it's entirety. Too bad there won't be more of Coprocephalic anytime soon. 10/10 Mitchslap
