about

Reliquario's first single is about surviving/ defying colonization, just in time for the 4th of July.

lyrics

Complacency (The Only Death)

I have looked upon the mighty Wisdom
that formed the uncreated God.
I know the warm call of oblivion.
I know nothing and all.

(Chorus)
These words are the futile groaning
of monsters born to die.
They do not touch their meaning,
yet we must try…
To breathe life into the dying,
to form words from our fading breath.
The only real sin is silence,
complacency the only death.

What goes unsaid becomes abomination.
Unwritten words break more than bones.
Averted eyes look into nightmares
haunted by unwritten songs.

(Chorus)

We lost nothing; it was taken.
We gave up nothing; we survived.
They can colonize our lands,
but they will never colonize our minds.

(Chorus)

Railroads through sacred spaces
cannot destroy unconquered souls.
Ancestral might defies assimilation.
We go on forevermore.

(Chorus)

Reliquario Tulsa, Oklahoma

Reliquario was formed in January 2019 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Former local bands include Burden of Blood (Bryan, Trent, and Jacob) and Siren (Stacy).

A reliquary encases sacred remains--blood, bones, skin, organs...mementos of martyrdom, sainthood, the fragility and mystery of earthly life. So does heavy metal, which is what we play. Our name is Italian, the language of some of our songs. ... more
