lyrics

DROWN THE PROSPERITY
HELP US, OUR BUILDINGS CRUMBLE IN THE CITY WE LOVE
A PLACE WE BUILT OUR LIVES AROUND NOW PERISHED TO ASHES
AS IF LIFE JUST ERODES BY THE GRAZE OF THEIR TOUCH
WHERE WILL BE LEFT TO GO WHEN WE POSSESS DISTRACTION
WHERE WILL BE LEFT TO GO, WHERE WILL WE CALL HOME
THE DESPAIR, IT INFLICTS UPON THE MINDS
THE PEOPLE OF OUR TIME SEEK SHELTER FROM THE PAIN
HERE IN THE WORLD, WE'VE FALLEN TO THE DEPTHS
ONE BY ONE PRAYING ON THE WEAK THEY ACCUMULATE THE REST OF US
DROWN THE PROSPERITY FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME
SO TAKE YOUR LIFE AND HOLD IT TIGHT
FUELED THEIR DISTRACTION TRY TO SURVIVE
WE WERE GIVEN A CHANCE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
THEY SILENCE OUR VOICE AND WITH A SMILE THEY GROW HATE IN THEIR EYES
FUELING THEIR FIRES THAT ENGULF OUR PRIDE LOOK UPON THE HORRIFIC SCENE
REMEMBER HUMANITY PRAY FOR HUMANITY
SO TAKE YOUR LIFE AND HOLD IT TIGHT
HELP US OUR BUILDINGS CRUMBLE IN THE CITY WE LOVE
A PLACE WE BUILT OUR LIVES AROUND NOW NOTHING BUT ASHES
AS IF LIFE JUST ERODES BY THE GRAZE OF THEIR TOUCH
THE DESPAIR, INFLICTS UPON THE MINDS
THE PEOPLE OF OUR TIME SEEK SHELTER FROM THE PAIN
HERE IN THE WORLD WE’LL FALL INTO THE DEPTHS
ONE BY ONE PRAYING ON THE WEAK THEY ACCUMULATE THE REST OF US
DROWN THE PROSPERITY FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME
SO TAKE YOUR LIFE AND HOLD IT TIGHT
FUELED THEIR DISTRACTION TRY TO SURVIVE

If Djent is an american way to harmonize and become more digestible the roughness of the sound of Meshuggah, The Dali Thundering Concept stands as a commited european defender of the agressive, technical, innovative and dissonant precepts in this style... And highly talented. feedthecrocodyle85

Been listening to this since 2013. Eventually tried to track down a CD but now I'm starting to go digital. So, has 7 years of listening to this EP dulled the experience? Not even slightly. Amazing work. From Nathan's ghost beats on the snare, polyrhythmic measures and insane kick pedal work, Eric's unique tone on vocals and both Aaron and Josh's melodies and interesting structures. Just hope they get the chance to tour England soon. JAY DYER
