God's Parabola
from Fever Kingdoms by Pyrrhon
lyrics
Pelting east on 295
Redlight causeways drawn into the night
Giants idiotic
Standing watch with sightless eyes
Saw them first when I was young
Thought their watch was ageless
But I’m grown and wizened
And now I know their transience
I have dreamed
Let me tell you what I saw
Banks decomposing like martyrs
Hospitals vomiting disease
Expressways writhing in green
Cities fail
Blink out of existence
Like Christmas lights in February
Every song and soul you’ve ever loved
Swallowed up by entropy
God's parabola
Carries us into the dust
Drunk on virtue and vice
Blinded by lust
Power plants blowing to pieces
Dousing the land in gloaming,
And the giants fall
The work of ages
Lapsing into bruise-dark night
God's parabola
Carries us into the dust
Drunk on virtue and vice
Blinded by lust
I see iniquities absolved and a land whitewashed
Where Christ and Lennon are unknown names
We fight and we play
Beneath crumbling steel giants
We never notice the difference
We never feel ourselves falling
Like rats given the run of a sinking ship
Redlight causeways drawn into the night
Giants idiotic
Standing watch with sightless eyes
Saw them first when I was young
Thought their watch was ageless
But I’m grown and wizened
And now I know their transience
I have dreamed
Let me tell you what I saw
Banks decomposing like martyrs
Hospitals vomiting disease
Expressways writhing in green
Cities fail
Blink out of existence
Like Christmas lights in February
Every song and soul you’ve ever loved
Swallowed up by entropy
God's parabola
Carries us into the dust
Drunk on virtue and vice
Blinded by lust
Power plants blowing to pieces
Dousing the land in gloaming,
And the giants fall
The work of ages
Lapsing into bruise-dark night
God's parabola
Carries us into the dust
Drunk on virtue and vice
Blinded by lust
I see iniquities absolved and a land whitewashed
Where Christ and Lennon are unknown names
We fight and we play
Beneath crumbling steel giants
We never notice the difference
We never feel ourselves falling
Like rats given the run of a sinking ship

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."

Labyrinth Constellation
by ARTIFICIAL BRAINsupported by 31 fans who also own “God's Parabola”
A spectacular debut album, which sets a brutal and atmospheric tone, very well suited for the cold and unforgiving edges of space they are themed around. An amazing album from start to finish.

Probably the peak of their labyrinthine, esoteric melodic songwriting! Love the death metal added to this era of their style.

One of my very first metal albums that i listened to, and i still listen to it almost every week, Artificial brain do an amazing job of creating a brutal and atmospheric sound, with a great deal of technical guitar and unique parts of each track, worth every penny

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 28 fans who also own “God's Parabola”
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.
