lyrics
In the harbor,
the ship had turned to stone.
They watched from the Belfry,
long bones, and cold and unsound,
their skin drawn tight
over emaciated forms.
When seconds turned to minutes
turned to hours turned to days,
the silence overcame the panic.
In the aftermath, there’s nothing left to say
of fear and doubt, the genuine despair,
a symptom of an eternity.
With a toothless grin,
an old god gave me his name.
But I laughed in his face,
‘cause it sounded all the same,
his skin drawn tight
as a man whose time has passed.
When seconds turned to minutes
turned to hours turned to days,
the silence overcame the panic.
In the aftermath, there’s nothing left to say
of fear and doubt, the genuine despair.
They huddled by the church bells,
stayed mute amid the frost.
Fifty of them starved and slept
to feed the fifteen more.
When seconds turned to minutes
turned to hours turned to days,
the silence overcame the panic.
In the aftermath, there’s nothing left to say
of fear and doubt, the genuine despair.
The ship that would take them
had brought them here before.
We patiently waited
in absence of rapport.
It swallowed them up
just as they’d been birthed.
We patiently waited
to make anew the Earth.
the ship had turned to stone.
They watched from the Belfry,
long bones, and cold and unsound,
their skin drawn tight
over emaciated forms.
When seconds turned to minutes
turned to hours turned to days,
the silence overcame the panic.
In the aftermath, there’s nothing left to say
of fear and doubt, the genuine despair,
a symptom of an eternity.
With a toothless grin,
an old god gave me his name.
But I laughed in his face,
‘cause it sounded all the same,
his skin drawn tight
as a man whose time has passed.
When seconds turned to minutes
turned to hours turned to days,
the silence overcame the panic.
In the aftermath, there’s nothing left to say
of fear and doubt, the genuine despair.
They huddled by the church bells,
stayed mute amid the frost.
Fifty of them starved and slept
to feed the fifteen more.
When seconds turned to minutes
turned to hours turned to days,
the silence overcame the panic.
In the aftermath, there’s nothing left to say
of fear and doubt, the genuine despair.
The ship that would take them
had brought them here before.
We patiently waited
in absence of rapport.
It swallowed them up
just as they’d been birthed.
We patiently waited
to make anew the Earth.

Epic, expansive hard rock from Perihelion that pairs post-metal expansiveness with skyscraping vocal melodies.

Protest the Hero continues to be the best metal band, and dare I say best overall band, in the business. The entire Pacific Myth is incredible, as with every other PtH release. Worth every penny. Please please please come to Cincinnati, OH again.
