lyrics

Between thunder and smoke
The place where the lies become truth:
Our god is a god of black flames
and in His name we immolate

She stepped into another bee's nest
welcoming that stinging warmth
You'd think she'd know better by now, but she'll set herself aflame
just enough to smoke them out

This town will eat the world
she can't burn everything
but if she doesn't light the match
she won't stand a chance

This whole town talks about her
Says she never knows best
Little do they know one day
She'll set them all ablaze
Turn this whole place into a charnel house

Heavy, catchy doom with terrific riffs and creative sampling. And it happens to come from empathetic people with great politics. So, hell yeah! Sean

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimes

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 13 fans who also own “Never Knows Best”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
