lyrics
Prey exalts the predator.
The heaven-sent executioner, the cackling liar.
The funeral pyre, the altar where we lay our heads.
Pigs to the trough. Lambs to the slaughter.
The tearing of clothes and the gnashing of teeth.
The war profiteer and the fucking priest and the secrets they keep.
We’re all putting price tags on timelines.
The prophet reports promise
we’ll be saved.
We fall for the marketing campaigns.
The Eucharist is rich in iron-on smiles.
We’re all defined by our drugs.
It’s like we never get enough of fucking up.
We fall for the same old trappings,
tasking ourselves with propping them up, but
The Old God Is Dead.
Full mouths spew out nothing but shit
so empty mouths will take what they get.
Full mouths spew out nothing but shit and
demand that we thank Him for it.
The stench.
The decay.
The flesh stacked in his name
adding more weight pressed on this saint.
The decay of the flesh stacked in his name is
relieving the weight pressed on this saint.
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
