lyrics
(Solo: Ben Gassman)
In fleeting moments of weakness, they reduced themselves to the level of common man,
restrained by irrational thoughts perpetuated by a hive-mind contesting reason.
An intellectual genocide contingent on the proliferation of ambivalence
and the substitution of an opiate for reality to silence all dissonance.
Obediently they adhere to the notion of a linear destiny
prescribed by the god of the almighty aristocracy.
Proletarian suffering satiates appetites derived from gluttony,
yet this hunger knows no end; a thirst remains unquenched for all eternity.
Innumerous aeons shall pass us by
as this entropic abscess fills with progress's decay.
Will our dialectic dogma outlive us all
or in oppressed obscurity will it remain?
The mass perpetuation of irrational postulation
propels the deterioration of ratiocinative thought.
We must quash this dispensation of mystical exaltation
and free our minds from their esoteric necropolis.
Upon the graves of mighty fallen, they have chosen to erect grotesque monuments
exempt from the societal limitations of which we supplement.
With their sway, they manifest laws perpetuating hate with a clear conscience.
Yet as they dwindle, we will grow and their dying legions shall behold our transcendence.
Innumerous aeons shall pass us by
as this entropic abscess fills with progress's decay.
Will our dialectic dogma outlive us all
or in oppressed obscurity will it remain?
The mass perpetuation of irrational postulation
propels the deterioration of ratiocinative thought.
We must quash this dispensation of mystical exaltation
and free our minds from their esoteric necropolis.

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
