Lyrics: Oh! This is the sonnet of the wretched Can you hear their screams? Your prayers won't be heard They will rise When daylight dies they come and bring an abrupt end to your sinful life There's nothing you can do to stop them now, it's too late Just run and hide and hope they will never find you until it's over and they're gone You think this is hell? You don't know the half of it And this is just the beginning of the end for you There's nothing sacred here, everything you once loved has been defiled There's only pain and sorrow They bring the end And there's nothing that can save you from this cruel fate But it's your fault, it is you that brought them They felt the presence of your blackened heart And smelt the stench of your abject existence They've come to cleanse your soul of its affliction You can't repent because it's far too late Oh, just wait until they have you in their grasp Now you will feel what it's like to be in hell And your only company will be the horde This is now the end, your soul is cleansed, your mouth is stitched, your eyes are blind And your blackened heart ceases to beat anymore Now they have gone, disappeared without a trace This is the sonnet of the wretched Your soul is cleansed, your mouth is stitched, your eyes are blind This is the sonnet of the wretched Did you hear their screams? Your prayers were not heard They have cleansed all sin and evil Lay to rest

This intro was, and STILL is, LEGENDARY. I'm 33 now and still love this album. I personally really like their newer stuff too it's just as heavy as their original works. Just overall always been a great band, that has aged perfectly. This takes me back to HS. PSA: If you haven't talked to your best friend from that time period because you've both grown up and always have too much life shit going on to kick it anymore, hit him up and say what's up. We all got that one or 2 friends that although may not speak or see eachother as much, they will ALWAYS be your boy no matter WHAT or ANY amount of time that goes by. Reach out guys, you'll thank me later. 🤘

such a catchy riff; from the day i first heard it, it's been in my head.

[@ScreamARLH]

My band covered this song in a small bar venue recently in southeastern VA. I can say with no ego or doubt that it was the most intense pit/movement that venue has ever seen, a fight literally broke out 2 minutes in, resulting in multiple injuries. We were playing with a hardcore band and 3 pop punk bands,they told us they were mindblown. The last band didnt get to play, the Venue kicked everyone out after the fight and stopped doing shows. NO bullshit. I was fucked up, greatest time of my life.

This band really had their impact on my listen to genre development. I keep coming back for this particular song every now and then just to remind myself what brought me into the depths of death core, opening my eyes fir the third and last time. Same way I keep coming back for Slaves shall serve by Behemoth, which opened my eyes for death metal, the opening the second time, years before.. the same way The black goddess rises II by CoF set my path to this field of war against the silence, decades ago.. love it, forever will.. ❤️ Thanks

I hate it when people compare the new Chelsea Grin to their old stuff. I don't necessarily prefer their new album, but that's not their fault. They are going to sound how they want and just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't and that you have to be an asshole.

[@Vic0triaRAWR]

I used to think Alex's screams kind of sounded like when you're drinking something through a straw and you get to the bottom of your drink and it makes that slurping sound.

[@GrammaToad]

This is also one of the VERY FEW bands at the time that I would put up there right beside Mitch and SS. Such a tragedy. He was on his way to being, arguably, one of the greatest among the true pioneers of modern death metal. 🪦R.I.P Mitch Lucker... 🪦 Keep throwing it down.

[@neolbioldey]

I would disagree with RIGHT beside Mitch and Suicide Silence just because that was just... perfection. But then again, as Alex Koehler screamed, "Perfection is what each individual makes of it" Also, ever heard Thus Spoke Zarathustra? Their album Act Like You Don't Know is like a modern day The Cleansing. Now, I'm not saying it's anywhere close to how good The Cleansing is, but it's very similar in terms of production and vocals. Or, at least, the most similar we've got nowadays. Still pretty good, I would say.
