lyrics

our ancestry is an old black coffin
embraced by the roots of a great ash tree
our ancestry is so cold and forgotten
now don't be afraid to open it with me
we'll break the latch with the butt of a rifle
and pulverize the bones to cure our disease
oh our ancestry is so cold and forgotten
now don't be afraid to open it with me

Anima Mysterium
by Yugen Blakrok

supported by 12 fans who also own “Old Black Coffin”

Unsure how to verbally praise this incredible masterpiece of an album. The lyrics, voice and flow of Yugen Blakrok, interwoven with dystopian old school beats which were given both an afro-futurist and extreme depth spin are just.... fantastic. She grew immediately being one of my all-time favourite rap artists for this stunningly beautiful music. Jazhra
