lyrics

The serpent eats it own tail.
Conceived in frustration,
It breeds only chaos,
And dreams of the end.

This never-ending upheaval is by design
The mission creep of the righteous never subsides
Don’t believe that it ever can be satisfied

The snake devours itself
The movement feeds on its own.

It masquerades as defender of the oppressed
It claims to speak on behalf of the weak and helpless
Preying on your compassion, demanding your life
The most committed disciple will be sacrificed

The snake devours itself
The movement feeds on its own.
A creature borne of resentment
And hatred is fated
To consume itself

Conflict is the lifeblood of the
Endless social revolution
Hatred and resentment feed the
Drive for so-called “social justice”
Ignorance of history
Enables them to push their dogma
The advocates of equity
Are satisfied to watch the world burn

The snake devours itself
The movement feeds on its own.
A creature borne of resentment
And hatred is fated
To consume itself

It self-destructs by design,
It cannot be pacified.

Don’t apologize
Or renounce or claim
On the truth you know
Stand defiant to the end.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

Your music connects on every level, whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual. Impressive musicianship and song writing. Love how you leave this undefined space for us listeners to draw our own images and blend in our own personal lives when listening. Beacons is one of my favorite albums of all time! olaussem
