lyrics

SEND, SEND ME DOWN, PUSH ME DEEP AND FAR BENEATH THE GROUND. SOMEWHERE COLD AND ABSENT OF LIGHT. POINT MY WAY I SEEK ONLY TIME. SEND ME DOWN, SOMEWHERE COLD WHERE I CANNOT BE FOUND. I HAVE RUN AS FAR AS CROOKED LEGS WOULD RUN AND FALL HARD IN THE BLOOD, THE EARTH AND THE SNOW. I HAVE BLED, BLED WITHIN SECONDS OF DROPPING COLD SMILING WIDE, WIDE AS AN OCEAN OF FAITH AND HOPE. HOLD ME DOWN, FILL MY LUNGS, LET ME DROWN. I HAVE BETRAYED STOLEN AND SLAIN BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE IT SO. RETURNED TO THE SHADE, RETURNED TO THE BLADE IN DEFENSE OF YOUR BROKEN HOME. BEATEN AND SHUNNED, NOW BUT A GUN EMPTY AND ROTTING OUT. AN ABSTINENT FOOL, A ZEALOT FOR YOU; ABANDONED AND BROKEN DOWN. HOLD ME DOWN. FILL MY LUNGS, LET ME DROWN. TIE ME ON HIGH, OPEN THE LINES, SPILL THIS FILTH OUT. LAY ME LOW, ROLL OVER THE STONE AND LIGHT THE GROUND BEHIND. BURN WHAT REMAINS OF MY WRITTEN NAME AND COMMIT MY FACE TO TIME.HOLD ME DOWN.

a perfect showcase for extreme technical mastery, but unlike almost every other band at this level, the complexity and skill is not the point at all, everything is so focused on expression, emotion, energy... Converge is untouchable Giles

The guitar work is perfect, the bass and drums hold it down and seriously bring it, while the vocal range is absolutely brilliant...OH YEAH, and it's HEAVY! Cidimon Arustavi
