lyrics

3. Becoming the Flood - A touch of water to the head in the shape of a prayer. You just arrived from nowhere. Bound by nothing and steered by stars, now here you are, surrounded and ours. Surrounded and ours. Showered with love and gifts from above, and warned of his power, and told of the Flood. And eat of his body. And drink of his blood. And warned of his jealousy. And told of the Flood. And told of the Flood. The pointing of fingers, the giving of thanks. Obsession with splinters, ignoring the planks. The taking of weapons. The forming of ranks. The spilling of innocent blood. The giving of thanks. Surrounded by imagined enemies and blessed by the dove. And driven to murder. And told of his love. And baptized in violence. And christened in blood. And welcomed in Heaven and showered with love. Becomming the Flood.

Excellent doom infused metal. Sabbathian riffs swing and cut like medieval broadswords. Great production and performances. The vocals add a witchy edge. Richard Crowfoot
