I've been waiting for this storm to pass
Counting the grains in the hourglass
And i have waited for so long
That my eyes have turned white
Secluded by choice
I wait for simpler times
not knowing
that those time have passed
Word by word,
Blow by blow
Hoping that finally
They will even the score
Someone will even the score
We are led to believe
That we are nothing more
than sinners in the hands of angry god
I've been waiting for this storm to pass
Counting the grains in the hourglass
And i have waited for so long
That my eyes have turned white
I've been waiting for this storm to pass
Counting the grains in the hourglass
And i have counted for so long
That i'm afriad to leave home
While you kneel, with your head pointing mekka
Your brethren is about to meet their maker
While you state your confession
to a childless man
Those with crosses on their chest
Send your son to a foreign land
we are led to believe
That we are nothing more
we are the sinners in the hands of angry god

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
