All together we sing the cleaning song
There is lots of work to do
Polishing the gaslights
Clipping up the comic strip
Before the fire strikes the ink
All together we sing the cleaning song
Dusting off the soapbox
Rinsing out the ramblings
Winged monkeys drop off pay-checks
To the Chinese Whisperers
All together chime
Recreate the paradigm
Bait up the steel-jaw again
Stare into the eye
That softens suffering light
Punch-man’s performing again
They are stop motion men on a Papier-mâché set
Crypto-humans bare false witness
Moon projectors make eclipses
Holes spit lava, do they really?
In the harbour models shimmy
Actors scramble in the jungle
Relocation camera’s rumble
Battlefield is splayed with dummies
Christ was betrayed by his buddy
NK’s nukes computer graphics
Gaza Strip is cheese and crackers
SS capsized in the papers
Egypt built in the 1780’s
Earthquakes ruptured ancient structures
Just some folklore much of muchness
Fairy wings tossed in the cauldron
Bedtime stories for the children
All together chime
Recreate the paradigm
Bait up the steel-jaw again
Stare into the eye
That softens suffering light
Punch-man’s performing again
A powerhouse of a record from the Michigan metalcore stalwarts, full of sinister, stadium-sized singalongs and unbridled emotion. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2022
