We are but modest flesh offerings - servile and pure
I am humble and subservient - you know I am yours
this winged chariot, silver plated - this Grand Artiste
this great evil made this necessary
radiate the ground, radiate the sky
Time, time am I
unlimited mouths and unlimited eyes
you think your plight is so special, you're altruistic
you bend the knee for the blazing deathlike faces
if that is true you'll bend for my lash, as they bend before your might
We've witnessed these mothers' infanticidal cries
postpartum compassion - its wisdom and its lies
will not I leave those wives and children to sift through ash
how can I feed a million mouths ambrosia of the damned
In this time of irreligion we are damned, so Krishna rise
you're born of horror and divinity so pure, so make us clean again
I see mothers suffocate their young to spare them the unspeakable
I stand purified by the power of the sun
become one of the blazing deathlike faces
I beg of thee, take this life
I hoist your lance to the sky
my soveriegn, you own me, I'm but a spear
. . . . I'm yours . . . .

Wow, what a find. This album has basically everything I like to hear in modern-day metal - flawless song structure, heartfelt clean vocals (with some fierce harsh ones mixed in). Gorgeous instrumentation and a provocative style that's part prog, part NWOBHM rounds out this fantastic package. This is a must-own. Bruce
