The price of judgment
Stretches beyond
The grasp of sentience leaves
To be buried deep, deep within
Buried beyond this farce of war
Confusion renders the mind
To the fruitless equation
Empty are the words
That shields us from the pain
Sailing through the crooked waste
Death has opened its grasp again
Reaching out to the weak
Chaos reins us close to its breast
Greed’s stench fills the air
Restricting the mood to affray
Poisoning the well of this paradigm
I cannot imagine
The consequences
Lies shroud the truth
Cancer seeps through the crust
Hemorrhaging through the cracks
Earths blood seemingly weeps
A quake of fear erupts
Shocking to those who dare to peer into the void
Poisoning the well of this paradigm
I cannot imagine
The consequences
Creating, destroying,
You cannot let go from this plane
The light dims down, down the same
The earth’s love dies again
Creation, destruction
I cannot fathom
Not until the candle burns
To the cusp of mortality
Not until I am free
Without direction
One must repossess the thoughts of hate
To open the mind is to create the key
Through death’s sorrows and life’s joys
It must be forged
In time
Power is just a word
Power is just a means
The force that comes with knowledge is universal strength
The light is so far away
And I tried, I tried to see

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
This whole album is flawless. This is music for walking in the rain and letting your thoughts run. It's not just a collection of songs, but an actual album. yakbone
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
