lyrics

Bliss only lasts so long. The treasury has never been fuller. Things have never been better. LIE! Like a queen, lies drip off her every word. Dressed in silk as her people starve, raising obelisks in an attempt to reach the stars. Mirror, mirror, on the wall: who is destined to rule them all? Well, your highness, consult my crystal ball. With a smirk he whispered, “beware the fall”. Dissidents hide in the shadows, raising ghosts sacrificed to the gallows. Your future is dim. In the shadows, hide the spies. From the gallows, I hear their cries. Lie your crown on the floor, announce your surrender. Sharpen the blade, whispered in the hall. The world remains prisoner of war.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
