lyrics

I don’t need hope because I have the will, power and hatred
Alone, I rise to claim my destiny freed of all bondage
Once loved, I’ve been seduced, betrayed and ostracised
Once weak, now you’ll feel my vengeance
No quarter’s coming when I burn down your sanctum

Laid at my feet slain, make the gods fear my name. The Impenitent Son!
Shedder of blood, doer of deeds unholy and unnamed
But a piece of me dies, bound to my blood crime.
I am Tyrannus!
So I shatter my heels, these debts I owe can’t ever be repaid

Wear my sins, o’ treacherous son who seeks to devour his creator
I hold inside me a place you’ll soon know
The place where all light dies
My empire is built upon sand and paid for in blood and shame
Gods know wrath better than guilt
There’s no turning back when the bridges are burning

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music! Brett

This is colossal. I’ve been enjoying these guys for years but this album is next level. They seemed to have found their stride & it’s a biggin’. I feel that they’re heading into the Groove/Rock Genre of Clutch but still carry that epic, larger-than-life sound you’d expect from Zeppelin or later era Soundgarden. Their sound is tighter than a fish’s ass (and that’s water tight) & whatever these guys are doing; I’m loving it. And…the vocals are so, so, so good! I’m excited for their next outing. Harry Harrison
