lyrics

Somebody hold me back

All rise for retribution
The undeserving presides

Whose hand knows better than my own?

Fate worse than execution
By the mirror's design

Whose hand knows better than my own?

I can beg, head bowed and bended knee
For exterior impartiality
Once a predator, the nature of the snake rebels
Turns tail to gorge upon itself

What say the jury?
(Bring the gavel down)
With all of these words atop my tongue,
Someone ought to teach your mouth to
Bite down when it's overflowing

Blind is the so called justice
(The irony)
Damning a sacred whisper
(A felony)
Choke on the sand that pours from inside of me
Bring the gavel down

Outweigh the hourglass
(Suffocate)
No stain expunged out of sympathy
Never mind the need for reminding

I am nothing but the lesions my
Worst mistakes will bleed me out to be

Who are you?

(Bring the gavel down, bring the gavel down)

Masterful production - deep, slow enough and a feast for your headphones. Inspiring arrangements and soul-searching vocal performances from a vast array of styles and voices. It's a mega-album, a world of its own. Up there with all the greats of the symph-prog genre. I just can't have enough of it. I like the balance between drama and calmness - always keeps you on your toes, gasping for more peaks and highs. Bordering on perfection - almost the best thing ever done in the progressive world.
