lyrics

DID I..? WERE YOU HELD JUST A BIT TOO HARD IN MY ARMS, WERE YOU KEPT JUST A BIT TOO LONG? IS IT MORNING AGAIN? SO COMES THE SUN, SO GOES YOUR EYES, WERENT THEY MINE? YOU RISE TO YOUR FEET, WIPE THE SOIL FROM YOUR KNEES, BOUND AWAY WITH THE BREATH FROM MY CHEST AS I LAY VEXED. IS IT MORNING AGAIN? GOD DAMN THE SUN. WHAT CALLS TO YOU THAT YOU CANT REFUSE? IS IT TRUE? DID I PROCLAIM JUST A BIT TOO LOUD? MERELY A BEAST WHO LOVES ONLY AS A BEAST KNOWS HOW. DIDN'T YOU WANT A GUN? BROKEN, BEATEN, NO LIGHT, NO SUN. DIDN'T I DESTROY THEM ALL AS YOU CALLED? NOW YOUR FEET ARE FIRMLY PLANTED JUST THE WAY I SHOWED YOU HOW. LOOK AT YOU NOW: STRAIGHT AND TALL AND WITH ME LEFT ON THE GROUND. IS IT MORNING AGAIN? HERE I LAY COLD AND SUPINE WITH MY MIND. NAILED DOWN IN YOUR SHADOW, LOOK HOW EASILY YOU FLEE. SOMETHING HANDSOMER NOW, IT'S NO LONGER A BEAST THAT YOU NEED. DID I..? WERE YOU HELD JUST A BIT TOO HARD IN MY ARMS? WERE YOU KEPT JUST A BIT TOO LONG?

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
