Building monuments
on accomplishments
made from dying hours
History repeats
making enemies
from the thousand dead
Lines
We're crossing those lines
Every single time
We do and we die
Straight back to the middle ages
Putting kids into little cages
You and I both know what comes next
Do or die just like all the rest
You want to build your walls
You want to keep it all
The only lesson learned is
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Aching wrists from them
Breaking promises
Calling all the cowards
I pray we would never go back to
the way the whip would crack
but it seems ignorance has power
Straight back to the middle ages
Putting kids into little cages
You and I both know what comes next
Do or die just like all the rest
You want to build your walls
You want to keep it all
The only lesson learned is
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Damn every single time
You're asked to compromise
Life I won't take a side
I learn to sacrifice
Straight back to the middle ages
Putting kids into little cages
You and I both know what comes next
Do or die just like all the rest
You want to build your walls
You want to keep it all
The only lesson learned is
The bigger they are the harder they fall
If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound.
The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP. mistermunn
One of the most spectacular albums I've heard since Lateralus. Amazing that this came as the output of a person grieving the loss of people whom they built lives and careers together with. The pain yet exuberance of this music is so enlivening, full of need for empathy and sympathy yet also hope and joy in carrying on to be an awakened person and express the highest good. Advosary

I swear to God. It's like stepping through the fn Narnia closet with each album. Yet somehow, again, I was not prepared for the absolute spirit quest this took me on.
10/10, will be spinning on my table for years to come. Magnus Blackwood
