you never lost a bit of sleep,
never were tortured by your own thoughts.
You always did what you thought was right,
Never haunted by the silence of the night.
we are all hindered by our fears, rejection, failure, and our own mortality. Yet you pushed all that aside, and achieved so much in life. You pushed those fears aside and achieved so much, despite.
"Hang a few traitors and make our country safe for democracy,” famous words further cementing your own legacy. remembered for so many things, one of which being a long trail of dead left in the wake of your improbable march towards victory.
you had no education. No job, and no prospects. you were rejected by your wife, no success in any aspect of life. You found courage, you found power. You found strength in every failure.
Pinned down by germans, the vosges mountains at your back.
With nowhere to go, nowhere to run, of all your men you lost not one.
ignoring your orders at the meuse-argonne, court martial or not you continued on.
Living beyond that day were the men of the the 28th. every breath they take beyond that fateful day, is credited to you. And the battle of who run! Despite all odds, you still achieved!
Corrupt officials, accepting bribes, financial corruption, everyone resigns!
But you still achieved! You still achieved!

We've made another trip around the sun, and I'm more lost now than ever before.
More insecurity and more fear
About what the future has in store.
I will never be enough
I know I will never be enough
In this place there is no hope for me
There is no calm, here
There are no answers for me to see
Only unknown, paralysis, and fear.
But you manage to make it all okay
When you look into my eyes,
This all seems to wash away
I will never be enough
I know I will never be enough
I know you won't always need
I know you won't always want
I know you won't always share
I know you won't always love
I know you won't always trust
But I hope you'll always find those things with me.
When I look into your eyes, and when you look into mine
Your eyes tell a story of hope
Your eyes tell a story of love
Your eyes reflect a world trying to catch up
Your eyes reflect all that is unknown
Full of mysteries, I can't begin to understand
Your eyes can reduce me
I will never be enough
I know I will never be enough
To protect you
To shield you
The one task that is my charge, I’m fucked

I Am Become Death

the light of one thousand suns burns your name across the morning sky
basking in its splendor, staggered by its majesty. theoretical physicists laughed and cried.
in a small way, i too assume that all of you felt the same.
nevermind quantum tunneling and field theory, forget theories of electrons and positrons.
there is no time for us to worry about molecular wave functions
did you believe ratting out all of your friends would wipe your conscience clean?
naming names and red-baiting were clever ways to restore your reputation.
burying yourself in theories of black holes and neutron stars, will temporarily cover up your pasts deep scars
what if colitis had taken your life? what if you had fallen in love with mineralogy?
you would not have become death or had to mask your regret. Instead we would read of a twentieth century Al Biruni

Destroyer of Worlds

one good look at your resume, it’s obvious why many say;
he was a good and kind man, he was a true humanitarian.
rebuilding europe, one brick at a time. feeding west berliners, tons of yummy food. containing communism, don’t mention vietnam. desegregating the armed forces - diversity.
any president would kill for these accomplishments
more than likely all of that will be for naught, boys and girls rarely remember what they’re taught
your good deeds can never be unwritten, your true legacy might be justified by history
preparing us to destroy more completely, every productive enterprise created. expect a rain of ruin from the sky, the likes of which have not been seen on this earth.
these words will never let your conscience sleep, as you become the destroyer of worlds.
the greatest marvel the world has ever seen is scorched earth, and blankets of ash. “the greatest achievement of organized science in history” drew the lines where angels relinquish their wings, and devil’s continue to do great things.
crossing these lines halos and horns interchange all of the time.
any president would kill for your accomplishments, except for one.

Truman's Curse

you used their faith for your political gain
told relocation was for the “good of all mankind”
they believed “everything is in the hands of god,”
a god that would leave them to perish and starve
the dreams of bikinians came to an abrupt end
when operation crossroads was born from U.S. sin
the world of peace you had hoped for
became global destruction starting on bikini’s shores
you promised them support, you promised them protection
instead you delivered an island full of radioactive contamination
dangerous levels of strontium-90 riddled their bones with cancer
stillbirths, miscarriages, and genetic abnormalities plagued generations thereafter
what did you gain as a result of their destruction, this deception?
Just one hundred and sixty seven
souls to haunt you forever.
this was for the good of all mankind?

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

Hard to pick one track from this album. The whole album is a treat but if I would have to choose one, gun to my head I would pick Sweltering Madness just because of the low tuned guitar riff.
