THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES
CONTEMPORARY LOWS
BUT WE FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE
AIN'T THAT THE WAY IT GOES
THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES
CONTEMPORARY LOWS
THEY SAY THE END IS COMING NEAR
TELL US SOMETHING WE DON'T
ALREADY KNOW
THERE'S A STRONG POSSIBILITY
THERE'S A PROBABLE DENIAL
THE CONSPIRACY IS A HOAX
AND THE TRUTH IS ON TRIAL
AND WE ALL DIE ALONE
SO LETS ALL SET FIRE
TO THE CITY ON FIRE!
OUR TIME IS ALMOST UP / SO RAISE A GLASS TO THIS!
OUR TIME IS ALMOST UP / BEFORE THE BODY GOES LIMP!
OUR TIME IS ALMOST UP / NO MORNING AFTER IS GUARANTEED
AFTER A NIGHT LIKE THIS!
WHAT HAVE I BECOME
I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD
THIS YEAR WILL NEVER END
SLEEPWALKING INTO A HOUSE THAT'S ON FIRE
FAKE NEWS ON TV AND GOD IS A LIAR
SLEEPWALKING INTO A HOUSE THAT'S ON FIRE
BAD NEWS FOR US SEEMS OUR GOD WAS ALWAYS A LIAR

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan. napalmsatan
