about

Broken Teeth was the starter track, for all intents and purposes, with its slow intro with a feel of impending doom that soon turns to crescendo into rockin' in-your-face riffage. Something to bang your head to, no doubt.

The lyrics were meant to reflect the complex beginning of revolutions, though from the point of view of an individual who has grown tired of corruption, and dreads the inevitable end of a nation. Reflected in this song, you can find guilt, fear and a whole lot of rage.

lyrics

I walked the barren streets with a broken heart
Until I found a refuge from all the death
Moss eventually covered the gilded walls with its soft embrace
And nature again consumed what we once built.
The silhouettes of kings and men drowning in the fever

I ain't got nothing left but broken teeth
And a regretful praise for thieves
I've been dragging my feet for way too long
And I fear we won't see one more dawn

Flags are burning north, south, east and west
Blood is running down the mountain crest
Watch the vultures now scurry to feed
On the corpse of a nation god forgot

Broken teeth (x3)

I'm left only with the echoes
And the dreams of flowerbeds
The splendor of treason is bruised all over their fangs

Let the knife do its work, flooding the room with its silence (x2)
There's a devil at home

I ain't got nothing left but broken teeth
And a regretful praise for thieves
I've been dragging my feet for way too long
And I fear we won't see one more dawn

I'm left only with the echoes
And the dreams of flowerbeds
The splendor of treason is bruised all over their fangs

Engraved in my throat
The threat that you owe
Will follow you home
It's a promise

I'll remember the sun in a slumber of the senses
Hands blackened and scorched, praying for rain to come.
