Your world is falling in flames
Withering visions of mortality
Halcyon house of royalty littered in golden debris
Helplessly watching the fall
Capitulating crumbling parapets
Archaic and dilapidated dynasty
Ruins amidst my feet, a mosaic of rot and defeat
A mural of extravagant tragedy
Sunken amongst the wreckage of one who once elicited
The authority of terror, fear and awe
Snarled commands now but a whisper amongst your funeral winds
Sentinels sneak away silently
Adorers and apostles abandon thee
Brutus grinning beckons thee Judas circles about thee
In the fading light of evenings pall
Viscera rusting in vacuity
Devoid of stamina and sustenance
Constitution courts calamity, mighty muscles atrophy
Emaciated, sullen sovereign
Foreboding
Doomed nobility
The king is dead, long live the king
Casket of tarnished gold
Sinks slowly below the surface
Weep and despair
This is the end

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
