lyrics
Once we made our home in the trees
Lived innocent, vicious, free
‘til our souls hung thick on the boughs
The rent went up, we got squeezed out
Fanning out on empty russet plains
We scored channels into the clay
Scheming to siphon the rivers and rains
Longing for lushness and somewhere to stay
Then bodies of martyrs swelled the headwaters
Then dust bloomed where our lifesblood once guttered
Then black rot hollowed out our crops and our daughters
Then the land’s lords made their offer: bondage or slaughter
So it’s time to move house again
Hauling our memories over the mountains
And seas, to some other benighted land
For space to subdue, a new life at a bargain
Where we’ll take whatever we need
To live is to lust; progeny demands greed
But by time’s cruel hand, we’re reborn again as lessees
On farms, in cities, in factories
The settings keep shifting, the gentry’s names change
But the tale and our role are always the same
Tomorrow’s eviction: the price we’re born to pay
Possession’s iron law, the timeless tenant’s way
And now the ground shifts under our feet
And our debts shadow us into our sleep
So that we never rest, we just slave for a seat
At the table of gold, as if we’re not the feast
Like cattle we are butchered, like kings they will eat
For the landless and luckless are such easy meat
And the cost of our living will only increase
Lived innocent, vicious, free
‘til our souls hung thick on the boughs
The rent went up, we got squeezed out
Fanning out on empty russet plains
We scored channels into the clay
Scheming to siphon the rivers and rains
Longing for lushness and somewhere to stay
Then bodies of martyrs swelled the headwaters
Then dust bloomed where our lifesblood once guttered
Then black rot hollowed out our crops and our daughters
Then the land’s lords made their offer: bondage or slaughter
So it’s time to move house again
Hauling our memories over the mountains
And seas, to some other benighted land
For space to subdue, a new life at a bargain
Where we’ll take whatever we need
To live is to lust; progeny demands greed
But by time’s cruel hand, we’re reborn again as lessees
On farms, in cities, in factories
The settings keep shifting, the gentry’s names change
But the tale and our role are always the same
Tomorrow’s eviction: the price we’re born to pay
Possession’s iron law, the timeless tenant’s way
And now the ground shifts under our feet
And our debts shadow us into our sleep
So that we never rest, we just slave for a seat
At the table of gold, as if we’re not the feast
Like cattle we are butchered, like kings they will eat
For the landless and luckless are such easy meat
And the cost of our living will only increase

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 412 fans who also own “The Cost Of Living”
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 351 fans who also own “The Cost Of Living”
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.
