The city of angels is filled with apparitions
Ghosts, musicians and politicians
All waiting to shake your hand
But they’ll stab you in the back baby
Just as quick as they can
They got attitudes
Cool moves and hidden agendas
Hear me when I say
Trust no one
Cause you just might live to regret it
Someday
Let us pray
I’m coming down from the pain
Those righteous lies I heard you say
But I refuse to speak your name in vain
I think its better that way
Too many words were said
This malediction is inside my head
Jesus wept
You made you’re bed
And now you’ll lie in it.
Each day goes by with my regret
I never wanted to believe you could
I can't pretend it’s all good
Too many words were said
This malediction is inside my head
Enshrined inside of my mind
Is how I bury my dead
How does it feel to be redeemed
After you lost your faith
You were pathetic
When you prayed
Just begging to be saved
The Judas left
Our resurrection
Had to be your death
I won’t forgive or forget
Too many words were said
This malediction is inside my head
Enshrined inside of my mind
Is how I bury my dead
How does it feel to be redeemed
After you lost your faith
You were pathetic
When you prayed
Just begging to be saved
I’ll never split that piece of wood
Never lift that stone
But I will be the one
Who collects that pound of flesh
You owe…me

From her amazing rendition of Afrikka Bambbatta's World Destruction/Time Zone to the last peep of I Am A Woman. This album is up there with any fine politically resistant tunes. Tarrie B 👍🏽👍🏽✊🏽✊🏽🖤🖤 🤟🏾♠️🤟🏾 - the 'B' is for business!! Love her and her music. 🤟🏾♠️🖤 ArcaneJane ♠️
A powerhouse of a record from the Michigan metalcore stalwarts, full of sinister, stadium-sized singalongs and unbridled emotion. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2022
I wish the 90s nu-metal was more often like this! There were a lot of worse bands stealing all the attention and making the concept of rap metal seem lame, while Manhole would have good stuff like this. Tairrie's vocals are awesome. RidgeForest
