maintained
fellowship is not a game
relationships built patiently
the meeting place of hate and shame
we’ll fake another wall
a cage, a cause
a fated final brawl.
left lame and lost
and hated after all:
the stain of cost.
hated after all
our names are lost.
=
a golden place:
where we can chase our favourite things
while up above the son relays
all the shades of his father’s hate
no shining principle
legitimates,
no fiery symbol will
strip youth from age.
with only time to kill,
we’re left to wait
and out-last “predictable”
our test, our fate.
=
a fevered heart's withdrawal
from strength of will
leaves poisoned animal,
asleep and ill:
his faith in science flawed.
a light held still
will trace no comet’s fall.

The album is very good overall, hate to pick just one song, could easily have gone with Float The Flood or Jolt The Amplifier. For the uninitiated, their music seems influenced by Sleater/Kinney and Throwing Muses. Having seen them live recently, got a glimpse of some new material, definitely looking forward to more from them in the years to come :) pepc72
