THESE MACHINES ASK
WE JUSTIFY THE WAVE
STAKE OUT ON THE GROUND THEY CHOOSE
SO IF WE TRESPASS, THEY CAN SHOOT
IN ONE MORE SHOW
ONE MORE SHOW OF FORCE
THE ONLY LANGUAGE THAT YOU USE
ARE WE NOT CLEAR ENOUGH?
YOU CANNOT MEET OUR DEMANDS
IT IS YOU, WHO ARE NOT WELCOME HERE
DUE COURSE IS TERMINAL
WE MUST LAST
FROM THE MEEKEST EMBERS
FROM ASMAA’S MOUTH TO OURS
WE THE VAST REMAINDER HERE CONVERGE
TO ECHO THROUGH YOUR RUINS
’TIL THE LEDGES FILL WITH BULLS
SOARING TO COLLAPSE
YOU SOLD THE FLOOR
IN ONE MORE SHOW
ONE MORE SHOW OF FORCE
RECLAIMING GRAVITY’S RETURN AS OURS
ORDERS WON’T STEM THE SWELL
NO POWER CAN FREE OUR HANDS
WE’LL EAT THE RATS OUR CIRCUMSTANCE COMMANDS
DUE COURSE IS TERMINAL
WE MUST LAST, HOLD THIS LAND
OUR PICKET PINS ARE IN
ABANDON SHIP!
YOU’RE SURROUNDED

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
