lyrics
Forward as a rule. If there’s lights, you saw a landing. Coast right by.
“All hands!” We crashed borders. We can never be slowed. We’ve a payload in tow. Desperate trip, cling for life to the ship, the long way down. Design won’t help if there’s nowhere to go and the engines have blown. Endless brink, ever further to sink the whole way down.
Oh lord, we’re sunk deep and mired. So climb hands over feet, kick them in the eyes. Don’t push me - everyone’s all hands now. What did I ever do? I could get out. if you’d just stay still. I’ll use your heads for ground. Sorry, sorry. I’ll come back, I swear.
“Into black as pitch; circle spins it kneads. It needs. Teeth catch gaining ground here as we are ground, crushed pulp to powder - dust to dust, devoured. All but hands, now raised once in praise. Pleading. Pleading. Pleading.”
I promised peace on swords. Let the glory unfold. Let the bounty be sown. Lift the scaffold and throne….it all burned down.
I can't stand the sight of it. I worried. I tried. I swear I had the right of it. More time might have solved, right? Still I swear I will find a way.

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
Strange and angsty alternative rock from Los Angeles that hovers between haunting and pretty and sharp and driving. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2023
