Three times and the hammer falls and she won't see any more.
It's a conflict internal and it rages, on and on.
For the first time since the war, she woke up to a blackened sky
Looked around, and cried aloud, "where am I?"
The veterans stood and watched, breaking silence only once;
"Brace yourself, this will hurt"
She laid a path down to the shore, and dug her heels in as she watched
The rest of them sail away on sinking ships.
With eyes lowered, and knees trembling the breaking labour of self assurance
Took its hold
Eight years to the day, no less difficult.
Hand over heart, mind over matter
Would get her through, was the motivating force
But for those five words
Five words repeating, forever on
And thinking, it would be this way
Then she knew.
"Brace yourself, this will hurt."

this album is great and i hold it at the same regard as Electric Wizards Dopethrone. Ever since i found this album i have found my favourite track flips between bong dive, twilight of the terminator and total handjob future. i would love to see a cassette and patch rerun the_big_stewart69
