Wisdom II (click to download)
The compression of time compels a transient light
To serve as an articulate guide
Through all of the sights of thousands of nights
Discover the scenes that drowned in your dreams
The physical realm is a prison cell
The visual realm will serve as a key
Through breath and belief...
Everything
Amalgamation II CD (Free Cake Records)
This CD compiles all of our material previously only available on tape. Eighteen songs from Myths, Conquest and Wisdom.
Available through mailorder and at shows.
Pre-Orders Thank you to everybody who pre-ordered this record.
Records begin shipping on Monday, April 14th. We will still be accepting orders up until Sunday night if you'd like to pick one up before we leave, otherwise, mailorder is suspended until April 28th.
Split 7" with Grace Alley (Spiderghost Pressgang)
Two new songs from both bands. The details are fuzzy, but I'm hearing whispers of a killer cover appearing on the Grace Alley side. More details to come. Spiderghost Pressgang.
Rain Fest 2008
When we return home from tour, we'll be playing a couple of Northern California dates with Pulling Teeth. Then, in May, we'll trek up to Washington and join the Rain Fest lineup. I've heard that this year's fest will be pretty incredible, so don't miss out on it.

WISDOM II
The compression of time compels a transient light
To serve as an articulate guide
Through all of the sights of thousands of nights
Discover the scenes that drowned in your dreams
The physical realm is a prison cell
The visual realm will serve as a key
Through breath and belief...
Everything
WILL OF KINGS
Listen to the sound of heavy boots
And the clap of flesh as the troops salute
Are we lead to the grave by the will of the group?
Or just a wicked few?
Lead on a long amoral march
That drives the mass at large
But the guilt must be shared by the idle alike
Our will is our own
Despite the fight, as one king dies,
another will arise
Another brutal reign ensues, as power and control are pursued
NOTHING REMAINS
Go down to where the church was razed
And in its place find salted rows of graves
Nothing remains, nothing will grow now
BASTARD DRUM
Master of the bastard above
Master of the bastard son
Master of all bastard blood
Master, beat that bastard drum
Bastard drum thunders on
All that it calls are feeble and weak
All that it calls just blindly agree
All that it calls believe its deceit
All that it calls will never be free
Bastard drum thunders on
Sinking faster as you run, still the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Sinking faster as you run, but you're just a bastard slave to the bastard drum
The beat hasn't stopped, it never will stop
MAKESHIFT CROWN
Saints that gather by the river
Know the child with the scar
The one who will be king
The child swings in the trees and plucks their leaves
And from the leaves, he weaves a wreath
(This is to be his crown)
The Devil sings, the song is sweet
The Devil swings from my family tree
VULTURES
Will there be beasts
To pick our bones after we cease to exist?
The dead outnumber the living now
Even more than before
The remaining few are reduced
To a primitive, diminutive state of life
The remaining few are reduced
They know that life will never be renewed
