lyrics

Conformity is not enlightenment; you don't know what's best for me
although your intentions must feel honorable, animosity comes more easily
condemning those who are different, putting on a display
if you were truly a spiritual person you wouldn't act that way
it's so clear your false convictions have never made you whole.
"V"
Self righteously defend your faith, in doing sell your soul.

Penance for the guilt you got inside?
Forgiveness? DENIED!!
acquiescent and pacified
convinced of your own lies
It's up to you to decide.

True spiritual freedom comes from removing the excess
learn to see beyond your thoughts, embrace your consciousness
spiritual charlatans caused you to dismiss it all
take a stake in a life in which you are involved.

Preside over geocoded
religious leaders abide
complicate or closed eyed
repeated should the opportunity arise.
Penance for the guilt you got inside?
Forgiveness? DENIED!!
Files declassified
convinced of your own lies
It's up to you to decide.

It is your soul to save

Voice from the burning tree - bless
a burden placed on to thee - dust
trampled culture, supremacy through bloodshed
drain the sea of conformity
wont choose a side in a holy war
there's no owner of a true spirituality
no "pearls before swine"
the light inside you is divine
healing BEGINS
when you acknowledge your SINS
don't live in DENIEL
no list of sins COMPLIED
up to you to reconcile
no cleansing rites, no forgiveness in after lives
your actions count now, not when your in the ground
here and after, forfeit matters masters gather lives to shatter
blind leading the blind
up to you to decide

The record so nice, I bought it twice. Just sent one as a gift to a friend. This record is stunning. Poignant and powerful, sometimes heartbreaking. The artwork is gorgeous too. firecat666

by Ithaca

On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
