Correcting a Mistake
from An Excellent Servant But a Terrible Master by Pyrrhon
lyrics
When the bombs fell
We were in the hospital
Receiving the good news
The test results burst into flames
In the doctor’s hands
Glass perforated your healing skin
Overpressure broke our embrace
Shrapnel amputated your smile
And I learned what silence means
When the bombs fell
All the confusion fell away
And the earth was made simple again
When I awoke
I tasted blood and cinders
Like lubricants of change
A dying orderly told me
It was quick and painless for you
As his ribs broke through his skin
It was not quick or painless for him
Is it wrong to feel relieved?
Maybe this was for the best
Someone told me there was a plan
They’re making this world a better place
One mess at a time+9
We were in the hospital
Receiving the good news
The test results burst into flames
In the doctor’s hands
Glass perforated your healing skin
Overpressure broke our embrace
Shrapnel amputated your smile
And I learned what silence means
When the bombs fell
All the confusion fell away
And the earth was made simple again
When I awoke
I tasted blood and cinders
Like lubricants of change
A dying orderly told me
It was quick and painless for you
As his ribs broke through his skin
It was not quick or painless for him
Is it wrong to feel relieved?
Maybe this was for the best
Someone told me there was a plan
They’re making this world a better place
One mess at a time+9

about
Pyrrhon New York, New York
"Outré as they get, everything Pyrrhon do emanates from an obsidian death metal core - just that this music is that much more expressive, its impact that much more disquieting than almost anything else in the genre."

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantationsupported by 104 fans who also own “Correcting a Mistake”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 95 fans who also own “Correcting a Mistake”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
