lyrics
Lyrics by Lauren Vieira
Sung by Kelly Schilling and Lauren Vieira
If I would commune with silent architects
Seeping through the limbic faults
I would be enlightened to the rewards
Of a scavenger
It took the flood to appreciate the bounty
How critical the fertile earth to reap
Sustained nourishment
Marred now, stippled with
Pristine scars smeared
Blackened, ambivalent
Our resignation
Is our disease
Prepare for construction
of our identity
From nothing
It took the flood to scrub
The evidence of our prospects
And perennial nectar
It is for us to rediscover
Once again, we curse the passing time
But to surge in reprisal is to strengthen
Wary now, we rebuild with purpose
Resolute in our determination
To sculpt is to callous
Is it enough to prepare
for this noble pursuit?

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
