lyrics

We had nosebleed seats at the crucifixion, so we'd just as soon drink in the parking lot.
Where we met a slick talking bible salesman, who said,
"Don't you know that god is dead? But you've got that look! You'll be making headlines and the cover of the Holy Book!"
(Martyrdom bought and sold.
Patented and collected.
Restocked, and forgotten with the next shipment)
The second coming went triple platinum.
New Jesus with the pricetags on
posable, disposable messiah
Hold your applause for the false prophet.
This graven image
At which I stare
Is "in his image"
If I should care.
Enlightenment brushed my lips, but my tongue never tasted it's virginity.
No more Sphinxes.*
No more Riddles.
I looked. I pried.
I prodded.
I didn't have a third eye.
Just a new hole
in my head.
They'll just keep fucking the cash cow until it stops coughing up quarters.

*note: the proper plural form of Sphinx would be Sphinges, but that just sounds silly, doesn't it?

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
