lyrics
That one can do anything, that all human life is gilded in gold
Time doesn’t care for your feelings
Time doesn’t know how to hate
Time draws the conclusions
And the path to your fate
No future for those that destroy
No rainbow for those that conserve
Life is a sentence - time naturally burns
Hell on earth that our species deserves
Breed before the fires start
Bleed out into the dark
This need for validation
This greedy life’s ambition
An element of species narcissism
A grandiose idea of self-worth
In a vessel of organic matter
In a league with its own feces
We know that we’re wrong
We know what we’ve done
Yet we still carry on
The curtain has closed
As only time knows
‘Cos that’s how it goes
Bed of fire or decompose
We know that we’re wrong
We know what we’ve done
Yet we still carry on
The curtain has burned
No lessons are learned
Our ashes in the urn
This meeting is adjourned
…O into the nothing
“What are you now that I once was?
What I am now, you will soon be”

I bought this on vinyl without knowing what I was getting into. Turned out to be one of my best "I hope it's cool" purchases ever. These guys are f'n amazing.

The fact I'm a little embarrassed to have only *just* gotten this on vinyl is all you need to know.

The UK metal act's third record is a tour de force of sonic brutality and abrasive textures.
