… and so, I was cast from the nirvana whence I came to be:
The glorious and holy dwelling of the Gods,
Exiled by my peers to live eternally as a derelict,
Atoning ever for my sin, for my complacency,
Yes, I strayed from my path,
But it was not always so…
My fate was bound to the darkness from the very beginning,
And thus I stand here today,
By fault of man, have I witnessed my impartiality start to decay,
Thus, one day…
The vice of man found a place in me,
I’d forsaken the order, divine,
In trifling with the affairs of the realm of men,
“O’ Peers!” I cried,
“Shall we, undying, be still as ever doth the world pass us by?”
We are all blind…
We are all blind...
Even now, I hear those cries,
Echoing evermore through my mind,
In this perpetual abysm--my prison,
Without a sense of the passing time...

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
