Violence the language
Death the message
Blood the medium
Threats read like poetry
People make numbers
Books make good fires
Kicks making bruises
Color the skin of those who are not me
(Chorus)
Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
With violence
Violence the language
Screaming inside our heads
Drowning out
All forms of discourse
I see the enemy
Staring back at me
Violence
The first in command
(Chorus)
Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again
With violence
(Solos)
(Chorus)
Thousands of years of culture undone
Sinking our teeth on the flesh of our own
One leader can be shaken off throne
But tyranny climbs again and again (It climbs again)
With violence
Fantastic tech/prog death, with lots of variation and strong melodic lines throughout the songs. The chorus of Epitaph stuck with me for weeks. Easily makes my top 5 of 2021. Lloyd James
This entire album screams with homage to traditional heavy metal. Obvious influence from the likes of Priest, Maiden, etc. shines through, with the group adapting to the modern in fantastic ways.
