Cage Bound
06:30
|
|||
|
Human sight has been missing
Bouncing off those concrete walls
They are gone now, the last cash cows
And they cannot make a sound
New blood’s here, dreary eyed
Their turn comes, the cage bound
Beasts in men’s clothing
Preying on the weak
That’s all they've known
There’s no judgment, no one’s watching
All are bastards of no lord
They are fragments , only infants
And they cannot live for long
New blood’s here, dreary eyed
Their turn comes, the cage bound
Beasts in men’s clothing
Preying on the weak
That’s all they've known
Broken, replaceable vessels
Of fake necessity
Known, collateral damage
The taste of conformity

House Of Slaughter
04:50
|
|||
|
The cold white floor
Shines red bleakness
There’s no way back
There’s no way out
Gone is the sun
Gone are the fields
Weight turns to gold
And scraps of souls
Breeding, feeding, weighing, herding, culling, tagging
Fertilizing, agonizing, brutalizing
We always walk
Where they lead us
We always trust
The laden path
We are the pawns
Of this planet
But what is won
When we are gone
Breeding, feeding, weighing, herding, culling, tagging
Fertilizing, agonizing, brutalizing

Inside A Square
04:06

He was born inside a square
And everyone came by to stare
There’s a reason, they would say
And wouldn’t let him go
He was tamed and beaten down
For mindless tricks and guiltless fun
The world outside has been denied
What pride was left was cast aside
He has lived inside a square
And everyone just didn’t care
There’s a reason, they would say
And wouldn't let him go
Then one day the square fell down
And he was out but wouldn’t run
The things outside are just not clear
What’s near is far and what’s far is near
Use me as a trick
Use me just for fun
I’m in every place
I’m in every time
I’m not yours to keep
I’m not mine to have
Who does really care
If I’m inside a square

The Blind Spot
07:47
|
|||
|
Our comfort spills over edges
We live a cozy, simple life
But something is happening out there
Done in our names
And it never happens to us
Always looking away
Embracing the blind spot
Truth is a sad fact we try to ignore
We left the dirty work to others
Whatever happens out there
We are just the consumers
And it never happens to us
Always looking away
Embracing the blind spot

Condiments And Blood
04:48
|
|||
|
An ancient tale of enslavement
Evolved into a modern affair
Where condiments and blood
Are on a plate side by side
Cruelty disappears beneath tradition’s dust
Empathy bows down to taste glands that lust
Bones forever gone from morality’s eyes
Those without tears sound their final cry
|

Science Moved On
06:24
|
|||
|
This is the lab
This is the world
Science has moved on
Without us
This must be hell
This is the truth
Science has moved on
Without us

Part Of The Fold
04:57
|
|||
|
Am I part of the fold
Trampling a voiceless crowd
Am I part of the mold
Keeping on being cowed
Habit and tradition
Convenience and taste
Can I shed my fallacy
Finding what’s left to find
Can I contest the decree
Ignore the mines of the mind
Habit and tradition
Convenience and taste

We Bleed For Real
04:31
|
|||
|
You say a god created us
A tool to feed believers
Who cut our flesh
And wear our skin
And test our mind
We’re no bleeding hearts
We bleed for real
No clergy prays for us
When blood is spilled
It’s a crooked world we live in
A life that’s not our own
With a destiny
Set in stone
Our shrieks are but a drone
We’re no bleeding hearts
We bleed for real
No clergy prays for us
When blood is spilled

Voiceless
05:32
|
|||
|
We are gathered
Here in this place
Gathered but still alone
We are the voiceless
We are the weak
Our words are not here
You can only save
What you can never let go
Don’t let us go
If heaven is yours
If heaven is yours
What’s left for us?
These are the feedlots
Take off the blindfolds
We have been hiding
In the shadows of time
Hiding and still alone
Lost in plain sight
Lost in plain sight
Open your eyes

Last Chance To Hear

Technical, yet accessible and filled with terrific melodies. This is an album that warrants multiple listens to truly appreciate the nuances. Can't stop humming Spy in the Sky all day along,

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River!
