This is how it feels This beating chest Weight of Versailles Wait and re-act You're looking away Please hold your eyes Focus your eyes Focus your eyes This is how it feels This march on west Weight of Versailles Wait and re-act You're looking away Please hold your eyes Don't close your eyes Don't close your eyes This is how to start fires such tinder thin purpose This is how to start fires Reichstag a-woken Bayonet, you're charging forth Crawling across the western front Bayonet, you're charging forth Crawling across the western front So turn and twist the...

In the sense we do mean it I'm staring back at these four walls But they won't say what they mean to say I'm staring back at these four walls But we take on opinion Relent & repent Relent & repent All stops on this progress God calls the shots God calls the shots God calls the shots The Latitude The moves we make The longitude The orbits fake? Galileo broke the mould Take on this ebb & flow The Latitude The Longitude Progress like light - The latitude And yet it moves - The longitude Progress like light - The latitude And yet it moves - The longitude Galileo broke the mould Take on this ebb & flow Galileo broke the mould Take on this ebb & flow The sun doesn't circle me I circle the sun This sudden form of history Hasn't even yet begun

lyrics This is our sound One straight narrative This may sound strange I feel opaque One won't forget the meaningless pressure you won't relent One can walk You've got all of this heart but none of the structure Let's turn and shoot Let's make this picture This is our town Burn all the negatives From reel to reel This footage feels We shoot ourselves We own this sound Release the spools One can walk You've got all of this heart But none of the structure Let's turn and shoot Let's make this picture You film it Directed You speak it Dictate it You film it Directed You speak it Dictate it Steer the scene away from the rocks Uncompromised, the vision of what?

Hands tight Life drains as we gasp for air With lungs full we bathe Bathe the day as if it was our last We gasp for air as life ebbs away Thick like blood this vicious ink Never read a word, Never read a word Crime to crime no truer link Never read a word, Never read a word Holding mouths Hear no screams Sear the limbs The memoir sings Life is a cause you can't fight anymore Life is a cause you can't fight anymore Life is a cause you can't fight anymore Papers from a prisoner Rings the sound of the gavel of a judge

Swing for me Pendulum feet you swing for me Blood soaks the guillotines and soaks the rope Swing for me Pendulum feet you swing for me Third Reich atrocities But we're lead by this hope This is all a memory This is all we've ever known Check along the Reichsmark Check amongst the silent old In our futures Something good will come In our futures Solid walls will fall

about

Thanks to Luke Fewtrell-Bowers & Chris 'Boom' Traverse who made this album possible. No thanks to the inferior studio who let us down initially for recording drums. You suck. Long live the Temple of Boom.
