lyrics

That sizzling, sizzling sand
The ground rearranging
Peristalsis paralyzes
A dread, a gut-sink
All this time certainties were sought out
but now fate is frightening

The face of it, such gravity, the situation
The terror of, no traction on,
guts sucked and sunken
The wind knocked out, sky’s breaths held in,
a roar and rumbling
Be over soon, be wiped on out,
wiped off the face of

We've arrived
Welcome to the emergency
None of us will make it out alive
No choice but take it in stride
We'll be fine as long as we're willing to die

Face to face with fate, all shakes
Too small and too surrounded
A long wait, and then the impact
but where's the tearing, still intact
A deep breath, no stinging
Face to face with impossible living

The face of it, the battery, the situation
The challenge in, these moments of,
the love, the making
Cannot be drowned, adapted lives,
a power deepening
Be over soon, be wiped on out,
for now we’re breathing

We're alive
Welcome to the emergency
Not everyone got to pick a side
While we waited others dived
Some held the ground, some held the joy
Some clothed and fed, some spent their lives
Is it really a surprise to know they did without us
How would they even know we’re allied
May as well take it in stride
We'll be fine as long as we're willing to die

Surrender to survive
What’s under is alive

Tattooed Love Boys

Tattooed Love Boys gets all the attention on this record, but for me the real highlights are the two instrumental studies in the middle. Lydia & Crushow with its scratchy bass arpeggio intro and the soft acoustic gentleness of Not For Me, For Them. Beautiful stuff as always. Keep raising the bar y'all. endofanera

Play this album in the loudest system you can find, set to 11 and blow you and your neighbours minds. I find interchanging this with Carcass and early Killing Joke a great antidote for any niceness that creeps into my soul. pablo6580
