about

The lyrics are from the point of view of a false saviour who is faced with the end of humanity. He believes he is the only one capable of saving them, deeming all other leaders as "usurpers." Despite calling himself a hero, he revels in the idea of leaving people to die, considering them unworthy of his salvation.

The song is an analogy for people who preach their moral infallibility while judging others; not realising the hatred and toxicity within them.

The artwork is a Rorschach inkblot, alluding to the fact that the image you see (of yourself) is not the same everyone else sees.

lyrics

A thousand souls they face their deaths
Searching for peace as they thresh
Demons will come from above for the dying mess
The usurpers will demand their pound of flesh


The tired, the poor, the huddled masses will die
(Deceived by their arrogance and pride)
Their lives have no worth and peace has no price

The smells of death fill gutters to the brim
(Walls painted with blood of the innocent)
By bastards who prevail and persecute the weak and feeble at whim


No need to fight , no will to save
Their lives are destined to terminate

No need to fight , no will to save
Their lives are destined to terminate

No sin to right , no place to go
A thousand deaths, I feel no woe


Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody Hell, all those liberals , intellectuals and smooth talkers and all of a sudden nobody can think of anything to say.

Beneath me, this awful city, it screams like an abattoir full of retarded children and
The night reeks of fornication and bad consciences.

White Morgue image

White Morgue Dubai, UAE

Dubai based progressive-metalcore band packs their music with a power slap while staying modern but brutal with their music. Their outrageous riffs, melodic cleans, and groovy baselines form a trivium of an experience to the senses.
