lyrics
Weightless in the arid wind
I plummet, wild and livid
Towards your sere terrain
Cruel and perfect
It burns, unconquered
Scarred and crenelated
Where the waters went extinct
Echoes from epochs of violence
That left its bones flayed
And though I am afraid
I rush towards your embrace
Here, in the basin of alkaline grief
Loom the wounds in your soul, arrayed
Beneath the heavens’ desiccant gaze
I will make this waste our home
Beloved, you will never be alone
I plummet, wild and livid
Towards your sere terrain
Cruel and perfect
It burns, unconquered
Scarred and crenelated
Where the waters went extinct
Echoes from epochs of violence
That left its bones flayed
And though I am afraid
I rush towards your embrace
Here, in the basin of alkaline grief
Loom the wounds in your soul, arrayed
Beneath the heavens’ desiccant gaze
I will make this waste our home
Beloved, you will never be alone

The realest, scariest, heaviest fucking shit. Who needs grease paint and fake satanism, when you can just look around at the mutilation of humanity that is the American South? Real American horror story. A fucking tragedy. Every day.

They took everything from God's Country and refined it even further. I'm so excited to see what they continue to come up with, talented bunch of people. Cover also looks like a cross I've seen in Indiana about one hundred times so that's really cool

Est spes in crepusculo, primis diebus belli hiemalis? Fessus es, an bene comprehendere mensuram tuam, propositum tuum potes? Ubi eris cum lux reverterit? Amor tibi mitto, pacem invenias frater...
