lyrics

a lavish dinner party
in the house of romney
the walls bleed with history
and eschatology

we are a people on a mission
to burn the dead wood of this land
we didn't crawl through tunnels of skeletons
for it to slip through our chosen son's hands

well i guess you got off lightly
guess you were lucky this time
we're making plans for you anyway
it's for your own good

Deep, mind-bending psych. I don't know how it was put together, but it feels very organic, like early Nurse With Wound. I could see Gordon, Dilloway, and Nace sitting among a pile of junk and miles of tape, splicing together this album piece by piece. Levrikon
