lyrics

Lies once hidden by the night
become clear when I tear out your eyes
So now I’ll replace mine, to see inside your mind
I’ll take just one more life, then I’ll be satisfied
Forever ostracized

Dying beats living when you’re plagued with a curse
To suck up all the pain of your worst enemies
It makes the shame feel so much worse

My rotting flesh and broken heart wither away with time
And as the ages slipped away, I watched my friends and family die
Now all that’s left for me is this burning in my chest
To feed this evil from an ancient past so I can lay myself to rest

Preying on the souls of criminals preserves my body
But in the end it’s really me who’s slowly dying

I am the sum of those who I condemn,
Casting judgment on the lives of evil men

So as you’re staring at the beckoning sky,
Try not to think about what’s on the other side
They say in death you gain new purpose in life.

Bleak and hopeless... and I absolutely love it. Hard to pick a favourite track, honestly; all of them are masterpieces in their own right. brentos27

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
