lyrics

Illusions and arcane grins
A black parade where all pretend
Illustrate to use you
Paint your grey on canvas white
Colored truths opaque with lies
Penetrate and use you

Blindfold

Flash paper matches, baby
Flash paper
From your ashes, baby
Im made whole
It’s an onslaught
Of my love
Yeah, you cry wolf
Then you run home

Counterfeit cold covered cull
By demand it’s not enough
Consummate and use you
Lobotomy to cure despair
Hour glass contention sweats
Dominate and consume you

All of joy
and happiness
Meaningless
in the end
wind casts at gravestones
It makes me sick
Combustion of
A spark is quick

Flash paper matches

Outside glow
Mysterious
From the hole
That’s dug in
6 feet plantation
Set below
But on high
We reach the end

Flash paper matches

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

Everything I like about desert metal is here - True to the taste of proto-metal... It's got that relentless rhythm section that runs like a Mopar Hemi 572... Vocals that don't make me twitch like I'm listening to King Diamond or Cookie Monster... strong grooves that show up enough times to satisfy... yeah, this is good stuff. zzzptm

The funk and prog bits sprinkled on this muthalovin' heavy groovy cake make it oh so tasty, and I like a good, unpretentious concept album. I'll have another slice right now, hold the nanobots, thank you ! Coraxio
