You, the would-be devourer of all but your distorted reflection
You, the candle to my howling wind
Eternal, the prickled jester
Again, the thorned fool
Held in the pillory of ages
These jeers echo forever
You, the deer before my blazing high beams
Once for good measure, then circle back 'round again
Eternal, the prickled jester
Again, the thorned fool
Held in the pillory of ages
A destiny fit for your hatred
A portrait of hideous idiocy
On a loose nail above the hearth
Your God has resigned to suicide
And granted you recurring hatred
Seed of Narcissus, banished to obscurity
In a chamber of carnival mirrors
Ageless resolve
Denier of all
Be granted flame to the coals on which you fall
Let the heavens grant no relief
Amor fati
And to all apologists
Scraping through the ashes
Searching for the melody which excuses it all
That search will go on and on
Such work will be tiring and relentless
For all time
This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
