There is a price for your soul
You already paid your weight in gold
There is a fee for everyone who joins
Conviction’s sound is a rain of coins
‘Cause Greed is good and cash is king
God will sell you almost any fucking thing
Salvation bought by credit cards
While your Family waits at home and starves
Redemption paid by check
You managed to bribe your regret
White choker, a sign of those in need
Of fancy cars and such a hefty bling
With their arms so deep in your pocket
That you can be sure you just felt the touch of god
Salvation bought by credit cards
While your Family waits at home and starves
Redemption paid by check
You managed to bribe your regret
Make no mistake
The shepherd reaps
What is in his flock’s hands
Make no mistake
from your crops he is corpulent
And you bend your back
Over the land you rent

Revisiting this album today and it is just as powerful and demanding as it was eight years ago. Perfectly pertinent to today's pandemic world and all the other donked up messes facing us. This album reminds us to live... while we may.

I'm sorry I missed out on this band 'til now. Landscapes sound excellent, a must for any fan of UKHC in the first decade of the century. I'd put them on a playlist with early Gallows, Alexisonfire, Comeback Kid, Dead Swans, Lay It On The Line, Mercury League and HHH. Burning Flag Designs
