Oh we’re all such blind, indulgent fools Retreating from the horrors of life into Glistening dreams, grinding simulacrum Acting out scenes we cannot abide Delicate machines for every task Cables burst through skin unasked Our muscles wilt, thanks to keystroke commands Our fate’s to be strangled by idle hands Moribund calculations complete, Designed to die for profit now Citizens to grateful slaves reduced A passive public to accept abuse We ignore as drones buzz overhead Captivated and strung out We’re just slime extruded from the gears A putrid byproduct the affluent flout Say can you see our barren wasted lands Highways like scars through fields left unmanned Every gaze drawn to the dazzling dead displays Huddled masses, our technology betrays Crushed beneath the weight of worthless paper Fashioning gilded cages Say can you see our barren wasted lands Highways like scars through fields left unmanned Every gaze drawn to the dazzling dead displays Orphans all, worshiping electric gods Huddled masses, our technology betrays

about

After 2 full lengths and 2 EPs full of doom and gloom, we decided to lighten things up and do a cover EP. We rehearsed dozens of cover songs before finally settling on the 4 tracks here; the hardest part was finding songs that were obscure enough that they hadn't been done by metal bands before, but still worked with our music style. Plus, they had to be from TV shows or movies. It took a while, but we finally nailed down our songs and even added an original ("Huddled Masses") to show the direction in which we're moving. We hope you get a kick out of these songs, we certainly do!
