이전보다 곡의 구성이 더 다채로워졌는데, 2번트랙 Doberman은 중반부에 브레이크 다운이 존재하며, 5번트랙 Heathen은 5집시절 곡에 스크리밍을 더한듯한 스타일, 6번트랙 Amethyst는 포스트 록적 색채가 더욱 진해졌으며, 8번트랙 Revelator는 싱글 'Black Brick' 스타일의 기타톤과 함께 어쩌면 데프헤븐의 곡중 가장 무겁다고 얘기할 수 있는 기타리프로 시작하는 등 끊임없이 다른 장르와의 접목을 시도하는 밴드의 시도가 성공해 평단과 리스너들에게 매우 좋은 평가를 받았다.
앨범이 발매된 후 RYM 2025년 앨범순위 1위를 차지하는 등 2집 Sunbather 이후 최고의, 어쩌면 2집을 넘는 앨범이라는 평도 나오고 있다.
All decline I seeded from my fright Each dim year giving less to the light Suddenly present now
All hail now the panopticon See all around me All of my failure Trapped under this dominion Shaking into seizure All hail now the panopticon See all around me All of my failure Trapped under this dominion Shaking into seizure now
A perverse stirring I fell out of rhythm Sadness left me uneven A masking confusion
Across the vast wilds of time I laid the grain down the coastline I wanted the Garden of Eden But fed my misgivings I wrestled with strength just like you I ate from the apple of my ruse And stared into the mirror of my truth All the time death as my muse
All hail now the panopticon See all around me All of my failure Trapped under this dominion Shaking into seizure now
Naked and eyeless My iris has only black views All my misguidance Hiding as torment grew Alone on an island Knowing the exits too
I gave into silence Knowing the exits too Facing the violence I wrestled with death just like you
In this panopticon I sought death in this panopticon Suddenly present now Suddenly present now (All hail) Suddenly present now
I sat and reflected on the only photo At your funeral, on the easel In the shadow of the willowed Sacred Heart Where we started wanting, weeding Southern autumn, places of your life overgrown
Warm winds blow Secrets we die with trembling weakness Is what haunts us now Inside the windows what once made us proud
I owned everything thought to be suicidal mania I was everything taught to me Drinking deeply, the truth of my grief
But what else could be? Everything was written I saw everybody plead
I owned everything thought to be suicidal mania I was everything taught to me Drinking deeply, the truth of my grief
Show me now everything that I offer I saw my own father lay the ground beneath me I owned everything thought to be I was everything taught to me
All the tapes and all of the letters At Heaven's gate standing with the guards My love is endless Everything of you is me, every step is toward the grave Could it be flesh and blood were all we gave?
Lunar studded starscape Doldrums in the calm Drama of dark choirs God's teeth shatter His black smile Muted in padded shadow What is life? I don't know All I know is its price
Savaging left me incomplete So I army crawled toward a glow Of craving and release Travesty in a gloomy world Where the embers of honeyed heat Formed a tar of black beginnings
Where I own every want Always seeking to enter A taker begging for closure Go, I need aloneness I was feigning relief Wasn't calm until now
I need your guidance Will you see me? Can you see I need you now? This curse overwhelms me Can't you see I need you now? Oh, I need allegiance When you find me coming down I'll have only known the sound of your absence
Wondering if I could ever wind up being him He's not me, he's not me All this daydreaming without sympathy
Going over the years When we lived together At the end of the track in the Townhouse Motel Blood on the mattress, blood on the walls All of the violence, all of the cops And when the men came with their guns First we hid in the bath then hid on the bed
I loved you then, I love you now I loved you then, I love you now I forgave you, I was proud To live in your shadow In the comfort of your breeze
So, I'm not condemning Just remembering the beginning
Majesty and misanthropy Beginning at forty From the zenith underneath Nadir, nadir, nadir, nadir, nadir From every day living Waking in fear
Lunar studded starscape Doldrums in the calm Drama of dark choirs God's teeth shatter His black smile Muted in padded shadow What is life? I don't know All I know is its price

I think I might be hiding from myself It's so good to be alone with someone else When you come to me, I see you wanting heat You're so good to me Have we met before? It's so good to be hiding from myself I'm hiding
When you say "Baby, come to me" Who am I? One who cannot see I think I might be hiding from myself It's so good to be alone, alone with someone else
Hiding with the excess Intense abruptness I treaded thе winepress The brutal facts of a strangе bondage
Not being held For all that I've done For all that I own Not being held For all that I've done For all that I own
Isolate every waking day Hiding from self while loathing grows And I saw seeds of destiny The crumbling of what's been known
Only by the grace, we see active mistakes And exist in their wake Moving on dictates We grasp the wounded face Of our own faint embrace
The truth of renaming our struggle Seething in secret The mirror of the ugly cowards Taking the moment now Tying us to the ground Watching them hammer the nails
I'm bringing them bile I'm clearing desires Coins on their eyes I'm clipping the flowers Of spiritless leaders Oh, they tremble in towers Lonely people with power Devoured by God
The act of all these staggered obstacles dismantled The light of a new dawn prayer coming true Psychic struggle disappearing
Everybody screaming Everybody screaming "No, this cannot be" Wash the blood from my feet The hosts of Heaven melting trumpets now
Find them, bring them Cut them down Find them, bring them Cut them down Take what they love (Find them) Burn it in fire (Bring them) (Cut them down) Take what they love (Find them) Burn it in fire (Bring them) (Cut them down)
Everybody's praying To not have it be them To ascend, to evade What else could come? Everybody's praying To not have it be them To ascend, to evade What else could come? It was me, it was you Converging into two Desperate to be left alone
He sits and shows me naked women Wants to know my type Asks if I've thought to want them Laughs when I'm shy Hands sweat, coil back Twist into vines
Don't I owe them everything for all I've come to know? Seeing what I'm taught to see, taking to it slow Buried in the home
When I tell him I'd beg to love them He starts smiling outside, smoking Burned back slow 'til he starts choking
Don't I owe them everything for all I've come to know? Seeing what I'm taught to see, taking to it slow Don't I owe them everything for all I've come to know? Seeing what I'm taught to see, taking to it slow Buried in the home
Nothing so sacred leaves this place of reason Nothing so sacred leaves this place of reason
That was my cross That was the outcome That was the loss No, I don't feel anymore Everything withers, everything dulls No, I don't feel anymore Nowhere is guidance when everything's wrong No, I don't feel anymore Nowhere is guidance when everything's wrong No, I don't feel anymore
We looked toward the woman And my face burned red, blushing When she asked me the questions Are you ever alone? Are you younger or older? I held her close In my thoughts some way wanting In spite of the sorrow My tensing in terror On the strip of Ventura With the tin barrels burning under a halo of moonlight When the hour was lonely It was the way that she touched me Her arm on the window And the way she said baby And the way she said baby
The signs of progress Combatting all destinies It's not for nothing that I impress On myself what I should be I know I need it No, there is no freedom There's a missing piece
The howling energy Is a shining vacancy Thinking I'd survive With everything I was gaining Behind the curtain I was sinking With everything I'm supposed to be I'm waiting for the fall
I've been dreaming of somewhere seeing Us close to the knives If I could have a morning To have a moment, a silver lining I'd stick them in, twist them down, bury with ease
Power bastard, pathetic master I'm reliving Saturn eating His flesh is everything of mine Power bastard, pathetic master I'm reliving Saturn eating His flesh is everything of mine
You took it all And left me nothing Laid me in a hole For death to feed on You took it all And left me nothing Laid me in a hole For death to feed on
In the checkered orchard, I came alive Under the blue valley With a head full of midnight
I escape between the rows of trees Down the ravine In the majesty of the San Joaquin Lonesomely wandering
Cold in the checkered orchard, I came alive Under the blue valley With a head full of midnight
Idiot's blood drops like a dagger Pink tears flow As I sink into the After Leaving the day to close
My body spills into a secret well God gave me the wish For religious stillness Showing shivering skin Living with this illness Showing shivering skin With you, my endless illness
With my endless illness Walking into blackness With my endless illness Walking into blackness With my endless illness Walking into blackness With my endless illness Walking into blackness
