Black Dahlia Murder, The - Matriarch Lyrics






Two pairs of headlights
Cut a night as black as coal
I chase predatorily my prize
Down these old darkened roads
Panic stricken, hapless mother
Fearful for her pregnancy
In a grave miscalculation
She wildly yanks the wheel into a tree

See that big old god up there?
Well he don't see me
I've prayed and prayed
And gone to church incessantly

In a daze I find our newly bleeding host
Never goes quite as planned this much I know

In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it's drawn so deadly sharp
In the backseat of her car
An infant is carved into this world
Not sacredly
Not carefully
The child in hate belongs to me

See that damned old stork up there?
He won't hear my calls
He won't read my letters, man
In this womb no life at all!
That what the doctors said
Said why even try?
I'm shut down and I'm broken deep inside

Tonight I'll use this blade
To get exactly what I want:
The child within you
Incubating for nine hardshipped months
The hopeful little angel
Bet he looks just like his mom
Targeted so carefully
In this lottery of sickness you have won

The smell of entrails wrestling the nose
Gutted and splayed to hell sweet mommy goes

In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it's drawn so deadly sharp
In the backseat of her car
An infant is carved into this world
Not sacredly
Not carefully
The child in hate belongs to me

Oh no, the life it's leaving mother's eyes
Aren't we surprised, but a mere expense of this night

I've been watching you for weeks
I know what sex the child will be
Know it's the perfect time for me
To seize control!

In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it's drawn so deadly sharp
In the backseat of her car
An infant is carved into this world
Not sacredly
Not carefully
This child in hate belongs to me

In this heart so destitute
There is a void that's lying stillborn
On the ground, discarded husk
I thank thee for your work
Second to none

You'll never know my name
You'll never meet your son
Your seed is mine and mine alone
In death this deed be sickly done

See that big old god up there?
Well he don't see me… he don't see me

    m.... s....

    mikey seweyestwa what are you talking about? You can still buy the new album. Plus doing that would hurt sales for their first week. You want them to keep making music, right?

    m.... s....

    Niggah they can throw me a freebie for all the shirts I've bought so eat a fat dick b

  50. s.... ....

    is this song about that french movie 'Inside' ? (a l'interieur)

  51. D.... R....

    Sounds good! 5 days to go!

  52. T.... J....

    Black Dahlia has killed it once again....

    Every album has been a banger, plz continue bringing us jams.

  53. Z.... N....

    Those drums. Good lord they're perfect!

  54. B.... S....

    Fuck. Yeah.

  55. J.... ....

    It took me longer than it should have to realize this song is from the POV of a woman hunting another woman. I just naturally assumed it was a dude at first :P.

  56. J.... R....

    This song is fucking brutal!!

  57. C.... o....

    Shit I'm on fucken acid why listen this

  58. n.... n....

    this seems weak compared to their older stuff. drums/bass sound different compared to nocturnal and more guitar focused

  59. S.... S....

    The lyrics are sick.. Love the energy of this song.

  60. P.... R....

    Relentless, and the song-crafting is as good as or better than ever. Fucking nasty, can't wait.

  61. N.... ....

    Holy fuckfarts!!! This shits insane!!

    N.... ....

    Unfortunately after listening to the full album...this shit is not that insane. One song goes into the other and they all end up sounding the same :( come on guys, youve made such amazing albums. Stop trying to be so hardcore death metal and get back to your roots!! This shit is seriously just starting to sound like noise!!

  62. H.... R....

    euphoric!

  63. L.... V....

    This is awesome

  64. V.... ....

    this songs makes me want to pour orange juice into my cereal until it overflows

  65. f.... ....

    God, this song is fucking BERSERK. It fucking rules.

  66. u.... ....

    Full Metal Boner

  67. s.... ....

    Fucking siiiiick!!!! So fucking stoked!!!

  68. J.... M....

    Amazing shit

  69. R.... ....

    I started crying when I fucking clicked on this

    R.... ....

    Ritual same.

  70. U.... F....

    WWWWWWWWWWWRRR

  71. L.... V....

    A story about a barren (infertile) woman who prayed to god to bear a child to no avail. She comes across a car accident and finds a 9 month pregnant woman, carves the child out of her womb and keeps it as her own. Beautifully written. TBDM never disappoints with their grisly story telling. Trevor, udaman.

  72. D.... G....

    If Trevor accidentally reads this comment: we talked after your show in Paris this June and i told that your new guitar guy Brandon is not as good as Ryan as composer - i was wrong, riffs are killer. I think that's his song, not Brian's style

  73. A.... V....

    whoooooooaaaaaaa this is fast as fuck!

  74. G.... N....

    Fuckin bastards just beat the fuck out of me 🤘

  75. E.... O....

    best shit since nocturnal

  76. V.... R....

    possibly the best death metal band out there

  77. N.... ....

    they got faster holy shit

  78. m.... m....

    exelente tema muy buen trabajo

  79. G.... ....

    I love the groovy passages the most. Everyhtings seems to soar in the air, sort of displaced, until it funnels back into the FUCKING MOSHPIT

  80. J.... Z....

    Cream your jeans

  81. V.... S....

    So SJWs ruined TBDM as well ? The Matriarch ? Jesus... We lost Unleash the Archers and now TBDM too...

    V.... S....

    Are you really that stupid? To say that TBDM is pandering to SJWs because they have a song called Matriarch?

    V.... S....

    I mean if they had released it 2008 it would just be a song called Matriarch. But 2017 everyone is trying to cash into the women as rulers/heroes/etc concept because PC sells nowadays... The truth is in 2009 if they mentioned a woman it was about necrophilia or rape, I guess you can't have that on 2017 because emos evolved into eternally butthurt SJWs.

  82. A.... M....

    After how talismanic Ryan Knight proved for TBDM, I was seriously dreading the new album. How could anyone replace Knight's equal parts melodic and equal parts brutal, riff?! Brandon Ellis seems to a more than worthy successor! Can't wait for Nightbringers to drop!

  83. M.... L....

    Oh putain. Mais comment vous faites pour que votre musique soit toujours aussi jouissive.

  84. C.... M....

    I love how everytime a new guitarist comes into this band they just get better

  85. S.... ....

    This fuggin good

  86. C.... G....

    Anyone else get a huge Megadeth vibe from the solo?

  87. D.... ....

    Jizz In My Pants
    :D

  88. s.... ....

    FUCK THATS FAST

  89. D.... W....

    You can read a review of the single here:
    http://aeafanzine.blogspot.com/2017/09/single-review-black-dahlia-murder.html

  90. S.... ....

    In my opinion, this is WAAAAY better than The Nightbringers track that was released

    S.... ....

    It's a lot faster. Nightbringers is more catchy.

  91. D.... A....

    Tremendous!!!!

  92. 1.... ....

    These guys never disappoint! I mean holy shit these riffs are amazing! Everything about these songs have been awesome so far. Really fucking pumped for this album!

  93. R.... F....

    What a heartwarming story... :,) poor girl she only wanted a child...

  94. c.... s....

    THESE GUYS ARE FUCKING LEGENDARY

  95. N.... ....

    this was fucking badass lol last time i listened to TBDM was like 2008. Where tf have i been.

  96. L.... G....

    Fucking awesome bring on March 13
