lyrics

Do not look not on the open exterior, but rather cleave to the ulterior [1]

Let us measure your endeavors, to befittingly cast judgment on another

When the scales fall off of you,[2] your intentions are a reflection of your view

Your vantage point is not so clear. Renew our vision

Behold, your foundations are crumbling beneath the Earth

Our tongues scream in angst:

Day of wrath and doom impending; Heaven and Earth in ashes ending [3]

But mercy triumphs over judgment [4]

Seek justice, walk humbly, and always love mercy [5]

Mercy triumphs over judgment

———————————————————————————————
[1] 1 Samuel 16:7

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
