lyrics

It's the job of a sinner to put commitment to test
To pin distrust onto lovers, to force divide amongst
To pay for bonds that were broken, to make sure that others know
Resentment grows when it lingers, and some things can't be untold

Why bother saying it's wrong
It's just conflicted emotion unsure of where it belongs
No use to fight something so strong
Direction takes desperation which was there all along

Delicate things will be broken despite how safely they're kept
Surroundings won't be a factor, safety ignored by intent
Value will not be respected, in spite of what you respect
Love can't be placed in a vacuum and be expected to thrive

Temptation needs to be wanted, desire can't be ignored
It's not what was expected, but you're completely involved

Why bother saying it's wrong
It's just conflicted emotion unsure of where it belongs
No use to fight something so strong
Direction takes desperation which was there all along

God, it just sounds so HUGE. Luckily they have the songwriting chops to go along with that power, so this stays interesting throughout, rather than devolving into pure tone worship. MetalDipshit

It’s a highly laudable feat to make a debut album as ambitious in its musical breadth as this, and to pull it off in such an accomplished way. A truly great album. davekillcountysmith
