about

There are a lot of idealists in this world. For all their good intentions most are useless and some do much harm, but we cannot ignore them if we want to create something better than there is.
-Joshua Topliffe

lyrics

Love is not all we need yet it's a decent beginning. Love is not all we need though without it we have nothing. Rabid ideals can tend toward worse damage than serpent tongues. Vapid images inhabit our minds; self-compliments for convictions to which we’ve clung. Some claim to well know the meaning of their love. They ponder posthumous fruit, premeditating the rate of growth and measure thereof. Empathy doesn't quit costing. I'm getting very good at my criticism. I’m losing almost all of my heart but it's time to give the winged concrete feet or at least weigh them down to where they hover above level ground where their insights can be reached. If all the water is turned to wine how do we purge our poisoned veins? Only sober can we severe the vines that serve as ancient chains. Let’s stoke our torches brighter than reported tomorrows. We’ll never-mind encroaching shadows. Let's stoke our torches, raise them high above our heads. We’ll celebrate in the light that we have shed.

This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House
