lyrics

Such crass design tis relentless
Now take your seat and bear witness
When up rose a flame
To burn out the path of utmost resistance
And I'm still burning with the strangers in the House of Auto-da-Fe
Wondrous is the arrival come one come all
It's so great you'll never leave
Until you drink from his unliving waters
Until you cower from the sweet sick smell
Mirror neurons the lack thereof
Behold an impulse of untold desire
Synapses vespers all together whispering
These are the traits of a vacuous entity
With regret and bereavement
We share a common dream
And I'm still burning
To seek the vantage of a new day
When the emperor's new clothes won't matter
And the keys to this palace expire
There's an unseen tenant in the last ventricle
Where the shaking hands turn the clock back
To a time where I'm not connected
Asystole

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
