lyrics

Oh foul and fervent heart, beating with pain and passion
Struggling between needs and wants, yearning for the blood to cease
Man's vision is so clouded by self deception
Man's ambition is fueled through exploitation
Man's lust for power negates all compassion
The duality of man, one hand cradles while the other hand crushes

The feeble have no hope to dream, of a world that would give them pride
We'll feed on them with vulture's greed, fodder turns the gears of progress

We are lost in the shadows, sheep amongst jackals, predator and prey
Our world falls to ruin, the last sun setting, draining in a spiral
Disasters caused by desire, the grand enslaver
Forever chained to our arrogance

The strong believe might is right, hands on the saber and the gavel
Declare with all authority, spreading the plague borne from ignorance

A world free from pain, we will never see

A world free from pain, we will never see
Through eyes that know that pain's everlasting
The demon in our heart yearns to be free
Desire, the cause of pain everlasting
The bitter taste of blood and ash in our mouths
Brought on by the world where the hate's everlasting
The demon in our heart yearns to be free
Concede to the void where the pain's everlasting

Our hate's everlasting
Our pain's everlasting

Even if I were deaf, the track titles alone would warrant me owning this album- providing in a way, a literary nod to The Phantom Lodge ala Mazes and Monsters. As for musicality, these boys sure rolled a nat 20 for this subterranean high speed attack, delivering a distinctly critical hit for the archives. satangutsandchristcorpsepaint
