lyrics

Long gone, strong calling. Their path came with warnings. They passed with bold intention.

Put that smile away as you grasp, determined. Grip with all you’ve got - your upward arc sways. It gets harder near the top, you knew. But it’s not the same. It’s not where you planned for defeat. Not from above - the pull’s sourced downward bound. But it blocks, all in all, the same. As always.

Marked up, broad target held down by vengeful egos; castigated, censured.

Keep your head down but defiant. The defiant price. The wolves you feared so well may get proud and give their game away.

Put that smile away. As you grasp, determined. Give with all you’ve got - your upward arc stays. It gets warmer near the top, you heard. And it’s not the same. It’s not what you hoped or believed. Not enviable - you’re still sore, waylaid, bound. But you claw, on and on, the same as always still.

Unphased and resilient, the hordes return as you kick and you climb. Some break, but there’s no one who envies the ones who'll survive and survive. Some live, but it’s no life that you would envy just to survive and survive.

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

Great album! Can’t set a favourite track because it’s first and foremost the totality of the album that makes it so hefty. jkaronen
