lyrics
Thus ever to weakness
Thus ever to waste
The blast chamber lusts for rot and abscess
Welcomes the purulence-graced
With ravenous heat, the furnace will bless
Our bodies, so debased
Robert slaved daily down at the shop
‘Til the twisting lathe ripped his hand clean off
His surgeons labored for tireless hours
Seeking reunion for that which he’d maimed
But Bob’s jagged wound had by then long soured
And his claw was cast into the flames
Purposeless, he took the path of the coward
Swung from a rope to escape his shame
Eliza’s thigh was colonized
By a stowaway sister
Sans name, brain, and stare;
Just meat, teeth, and hair
No mourning at that kid’s ablation
Just an onsite cremation
But when she saw sis carbonized
Eliza realized that she’d miss her
Thus ever to weakness
Thus ever to waste
With clinical calm, appraise the flesh
Sunder the sick and disgraced
Reduce it to ash that spews from the stack
Purge it all without a trace
Ernest had survived the burns, but he was in grim shape
His whole dermis had melted into slick, translucent paste
That oozed daily through his wounds’ dressings
For months, while he lay convalescing
And when at last they unwound the bandages
His wet new skin peeled off with them
An ironic twist that failed to impress
The poor nurses tasked with torching that mess
And they said:
Thus ever to weakness
Thus ever to waste

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
