lyrics

PHILOSOPHIES OF THE ELITE DISGUISED AS WISDOM
If a tree falls in the woods, does it truly make a sound?" The ignorance of such a question shows we do not deserve the crown. To think that something so unable to be tamed such as sound belongs only to our ears when in our presence - so woefully profound.
If a man falls and breaks his legs he'll argue that it made such sickening noise. His screams will echo off the walls of the mountains encompassing him;
a truly scenic coffin (for his death.)
And when the critters come for easy meat, they act as if his screams cease while chewing up his living tissue. Like a film on mute he pleads for mercy but they hear nothing. Deaf monsters eat til' bellies fatten.
Living is living & sound is as alive as the host that grants its existence.
Such horrific ways we all deserve to go. Consumed wholly while heart still beats for thinking we're above any other thing thats living.
If a tree falls & a man dies screaming, do they really make a sound?

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
