    In terrible silence you stood at the world's end
    And crawled into the sun
    Blinded by the signal fires
    That seared your heart
    And the seething tongues of the lies we became
    I sat in Babel's tower
    And judged the world
    Said I spoke the language
    Of saints and sinners
    But preached the world was flat
    And slipped between the cracks
    In horror I strode to the world's end
    Saw some torn by hunger
    Others broken by steel
    But by the bitterest fortune
    Cursed the heathen and holy
    But found no relief
    We sat in Babel's tower
    And fought over the world
    I never spoke the language
    Of your saints and sinners
    Of men nor beast
    Who roamed this flat earth
    Liars tongues seethe in fire
    At the end of harsh white lines
    We set the world to rights
    Yet I awoke in the same black spirit
    State once again
    And we sat in judgement in Babel's tower

    From my understanding these guys have only done one North American tour over the past few years and I know it is expensive for European bands to come over here. But how the hell have no bigger bands taken these guys out as co-headliner/direct support? I am lucky enough to have seen them at Hellfest but I would love to see them again some day. They put on one of the most energetic and passionate performances I have ever seen. They were fucking legendary and ripped the stage apart!

    The lyrical content reminds me of Emanuel Swedenborg's interpretation of Babel's Tower as being a symbolic story of man moving away from genuine spirituality and inventing ritualistic and organised religion as a way for individuals to exercise control over other individuals for personal gain thereby alienating them from positive spirituality.
    I wonder if that is intentional. If so that is pretty sophisticated.

    At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words. As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there. They began saying to each other, “Let’s make bricks and harden them with fire.” (In this region bricks were used instead of stone, and tar was used for mortar.) Then they said, “Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.” But the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building. “Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.” In that way, the Lord scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city. That is why the city was called Babel, because that is where the Lord confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.

    And crawled into the sun (when the people voted for the nazi party with the swastika symbol, which is an old symbol for the sun)
    Blinded by the signal fires
