Higher, Higher
Blow smoike into me
Fire, Fire
Burn it all with flames
Fire, Fire
Fire, Fire
Inhale Godsmoke
My breath melts higher
Breakthrough the truth
Up like funeral pyres
Fire, fire
Fire, Fire
Dance celestial you start to feel alive
Spark electric the kindling of the fire
I’m animated
Miscalculate don’t mislocate
We’ve cultivated
A holding den a holy sin
(Begin HEY)
It’s automatic
The sickened cycles sickening psycho
We saw the Phoenix
It leads along
DIVIDE, Divide
Body folds in two
Divine, Divine
Knowledge in the blaze
Fire, fire
Fire, fire
Hold in Godsmoke
Take me higher
Comedown Inbound
Crashing down with Fire
Fire, Fire
Fire, Fire
Breathe it into me
Inhale exhale Godsmoke
Breathe it into me
Inhale exhale Godsmoke
Breathe it into me
Inhale exhale Godsmoke
Breathe it into me
Inhale exhale Godsmoke

Hellbound

Magma spilling down your face
Wretched spawn in disgrace
Twisted everything in time
Feel eternal life
I can’t escape this place
Steal their wings and fly on home
We are hellbound
Free to fly on our graceful fall
We are hellbound
Freedom with our kind
Savagery on inter dimensional planes
Distort contort the human soul
Out of the frying pan
And back into the fires of time
Take me back to the funeral pyre.
Why won’t they come and save me from this hell
Please release my pain of mind. Darkness binds (the darkness binds)
We are hellbound
We are hellbound
We are hellbound

Nightmare
Nightmare
It’s automatic
Lysergic Nightmare Fuel
I’m feeling hazy
Madness is waiting
I’m sick of being so stressed
I feel the fear
Surrounding me-ah
I won’t give in just yet
Feel it writhing in our bones
kundalini in us all
Finding
Find me
Holy
Grail. Grail. Grail.
Timing
Find me
Voided
Pale. Pale. Pale. Pale.
Johnny was a lover
He couldn’t suffer
The way his fathers could
No one ever bothers
Suicidal brothers
Beyond the riverside
Pay no mind to the onlookers who judge
They simply exist to produce this existential dread
I am the one who betrays you within your sight
Passion and fervor for this life’s passers of by
It’s heating up inside
It’s in your mind
It’s automatic
Lysergic nightmare fuel
Look down the hall
Tragedy; you will toil
Eyes from above peer in your soul
Take me in to your kingdom
The fae can’t wait to find
Salvation from our lies
Don’t be led astray
Follow the garden of all edens combined to the cosmic stars
You know it to be true, release it unto me
My hands they hold your fate
Our faces in the sky

Nightmare II: Ascendancy
06:59

I close my eyes
In search of something more
morphing before me
the greatest grid reveals
All I hear is I and Me and My and I
All I hear is I and Me and My and I
Nightmare! Nightmare!
Overwhelmed
Nightmare! Nightmare!
Look into the great beyond
Nightmare! Nightmare!
Look for the morning star
Nightmare! Nightmare!
I gazed too deep
into the astral eye
Reflections surrounding
It's me, It's mine, It's I
And the sacred smoke, it shows where I must go
And the sacred smoke, it shows where I must go
Nightmare! Nightmare!
Overwhelmed
Nightmare! Nightmare!
Dreams have become nightmares
Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare!
Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare!
Swirling in the blue, shapes and pyramids melt into truth
Reflections of our past, they shatter, they clear my path
A board washed clean. The tides, they lock with my soul
And the sacred smoke, it shows where I must go
Feast your eyes
Feast your heart
All I hear is I and Me and My and I
And the sacred smoke, it shows where I must go
The tide locks with my soul
The tide locks with my soul
It shows where I must go
It tells of something more
It shows where I must go
Tide lock with my soul
Tide lock with my soul

Nightmare III: Visionary
05:59
|

|
I am incarnate of a different plane
I’ve seen of everything that is
I speak in phrasing from the ancient hymn
Familiarity wins
Freely falling oer and oer through hell
Feel the weight of this eternal shelve
Twisting through path they’re all the same
Cancer my bones, trudging through the troughs of suffering
Truly alone, the gods are making me atone
Hurled again across the timeless void
I am your brother, yet I’m strange of kin
My kind is tinder to yours
You seek redemption but it’s greater than
Your expectations impure
Overdosing methal tryptamine
Free yourselves in finite waves of time
All becoming is all becoming us
All becoming is all becoming us
All becoming is all becoming us
All becoming is all becoming us
It’s coming close
Catch the ledge return to home
Requies between the realms surround
Misunderstood, mysterious, misheard
Lady in red MORPHING BEFORE MY EYES

Excess Noise
10:12
|
|||
|
Morose architects
Dotting the putrid landscape
They Proof of mankind’s gift
Flower, take a breath
Of humanities poison
Soon, your time will come
Repeat the same as same repeats within:
Why do I keep eating myself?
It’s simple:
There’s kids in cages;
Pestilence is Political;
The Governed are Cattle for the Slaughter
Of Flippant Greed.
To be Content is to be Naive, and to be Whole is to Abuse Your Privilege.
We Will Suffer in Solidarity
And So I Feast
Same repeats into same
What was will likely be
Patterns under our nose
We die too quickly to see

Run (bonus track)
06:37
|

Hey!
You need to run
In excess action
I’ve made my point
I made it conscious
With no remorse
The premonition
Of what’s to come
The human robot
Unholy son
I took its code
I made it aware
You need to run
In excess hubris
I’ve found my muse
The inspiration
Is still infused
I cannot stagnate
I must persist
Autonomy calls for
An active cyst
A sacred calling
Can’t be ignored
Do not deny it
You fucking clod
You act so worthless
Get off your ass
Create and conquer
The world is yours
Lobotomize me
I do not want this curse
It’s writhing towards you
The end of times
It’s nigh upon us
You need to run
Ah shit
Recognize each other, recognize the other; differentiating ‘tween the strange and brother necessary necessary
Learn from the surroundings, how the wind is sounding, how the leaves will crinkle just beneath your stomping underbelly underbelly
Conscious or unconscious is philosi-fodder everything produced has come from something that is temporary temporary
Everything conceived of everything believed of everything relieving when the foundation is crumbling it’s crumbling it’s
TIME TO RUN
It’s overwhelming
The excess noise
It’s nigh upon us
You need to run

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10
