LYRICS:
Once a broken man asked for forgiveness for all of his failings
But never does the world pardon those who reveal their weakness
In disguise we trot through the belly of the beast day after day
Though ultimately by course of nature’s laws we each must fall
Calls of a lesser king echo through the darkness
Foreshadowing the sad and naked truth of mine
Writhing for the touch of deliverance I yearn on
Until my voice bellows through these valleys no more
But born of me no greater beauty shall ever see the dawn of day
For parental dark shall never give birth to binding light
In my heart nothing but unrequited toil and unsatisfied desire
Wondrous ends will never tie together as I stand banished into shade
Fairer touch cast down my crown, shattering the grand illusion!
Alone in the arms of finiteness a reason for pride was never earned nor given
Sovereignty was never offered nor claimed
Now nothing but a poor peasant I am
So fairer touch cast down my crown!
Calls of a lesser king echo through the darkness
Foreshadowing the sad and naked truth of mine
Writhing for a touch of deliverance I yearn on
Until my voice bellows through these valleys, no more
I am a lesser king unworthy of your tender caress
Lending me the strength to kneel before no one
I am a lesser king unworthy of your gentle embrace
Lending me the strength to bow down to no one

This is epic, might even be my favourite song from them. Perfect alternation between heavy and melodic, crazy solo that just flows with the song. Production 10/10.

This entire EP is exceptionally well-crafted. Always true to the origins the band adds just the tad of elaboration to the songs to avoid sounding generic. It´s a massive plead for thoughtfulness in the writing process, as are their previous outputs!!
