lyrics

Slay the trees and maim the pieces
Flame the grasslands, stake your claim and
Fill the empty space with things that
Suffocate the world around it

Build colossus, tow'ring above us
Shrink the sky to stay in business
Stab the Mother, pray to Father
Everything will work out in the end

Wait till I stop breathing, wait till I lose hope
Watch the world around me crumble and implode

Wait till I stop breathing, wait till I lose hope
Watch the world around me crumble and implode

Man wanting it all
Owning the soil
Claiming the goal
Take no prisoners

Man wanting it all
Owning the soil
Claiming the goal
Swallowing the world

Construction to thrive and destruction to die
Construction to win and destruction to fail
Construction to grow and destruction to kill everything

The choices we make
The risk that we take
The balance we break--
What is the consequence?

Wait till I stop breathing, wait till I lose hope
Watch the world around me crumble and implode

Wait till I stop breathing, wait till I lose hope
Watch the world around me crumble and implode

Man wanting it all
Owning the soil
Claiming the goal
Take no prisoners

Man wanting it all
Owning the soil
Claiming the goal
Swallowing the world

Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
