Daggers break thread
And we are everything and naked again
The swill of swine and tax or tithe
Lay down a seldom sermon
Dethroned from your perch of greatness
Mad kings shall swear to the same fate
Destiny, the seer bellows
From the caves over yonder
The echoes sew themselves into your dreams
And temptation becomes fleeting
As the birds chirping dribbles into droning
Only a cleansed palette can allow you a taste
But your mouth so full of dirt and grime
Can never lick through the layers of slime
You've got spiders drooling from your lips
Snakes around your throat like a noose
Your hands blister from this dry heat
Skin cracking from every blow you treat
Back hunkered over
Wind blows away your cover
You suck away at water skins full of mead
Regret every moment you've squandered on greed
My friend, I say to you
My friend will you come back to me?
No, you speak through jagged teeth
This is the storm before the calm
One day my life will change
And I wont need your help anymore
Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimes
