Say you want a little taste of something wicked
Lives sing to the soil in the wreckage of
The giants destroying our homes
Eat them all, delicious sheep
Capture the big man, watch us feed
You are in ruin, heated meat
For this, we must come down from our cloud
Your life, it desecrates our vow
In the name of all that is now
BOW DOWN!
And so you’ve all convened right here
The message, the message isn’t clear
There’s something wrong here
Something’s wrong here
Find your friends
They’re scattered about the houses
In pieces and parts, postmodernist art
I’m missing the vital, most important part
There’s no heart
And if I start, good lord, I’ll – I’ll start!
In the cavern of a soul
Where there used to be a heart
My world is falling apart
Closer now than I’ve ever felt
You know how much I love you so
But if you stay right here, you’ll have to go
You’d walk away
If you had half the mind
(If you have the mind, if you halve the kind)
Friends tell me friends are simpler
I don’t want to believe
Friends tell me friends are simpler
I don’t want to believe
In spite of all, we lay besieged
Sometimes I want to watch them leave
Dead don’t need no time to grieve
Who asked you, you wrinkled fiend?
Silence before me
Who can steep the rebellion’s fall?
I want to go home
But I’m closer now than I’ve ever felt
You know how much I love you so
But if you stay right here, you’ll have to go
So find your way
Before you lose your mind
So I hold sides
Watch their dreams become
Something more than life
Because I never felt quite the same
Since that night, that night
When the sun comes down on our every day
You will know you’re in trouble soon
When a life asks what living life is for
Do not give it an answer soon
With a future so bold, every problem’s foretold
There is no chance we are doomed
For the pounding of our sacred hearts
Will find us an answer soon, so come on now
When the sun comes down on our every day
You will know you’re in trouble soon
When a life asks what living life is for
Do not give it an answer soon
With a future so bold, every problem’s foretold
There is no chance we are doomed
For the pounding of our sacred hearts
Will find us the answer soon
And when the moon, he whispers I’m right
We’ll be fine, they’re coming
Now we do the dance of those who have no chance
(Silence)
“A shepherd feasts on his misshapen flock in masses”
Let me show you the words – Listen:
Hey, okay
Flaunt the loss of love today
Ohhh, I should’ve done it yesterday
Hey, okay
Flaunt the loss of love today
Hey, okay
Hahahaha!
Feel the spirits crushed beneath the wheels
Hey, okay
Got nothin’ to say anyway
I could’ve done it yesterday
Hey, okay
Flaunt the loss of love today
Hey, you’ll say
As I take your life away
Final hour baptisms
Just to feed on the blights
Damn the portcullis
We walk into danger tonight
I have come now to relieve
Our blessed father, that wretched father
The ace up the devil’s sleeve
And should we perish here tonight
They threaten all that we’ve strived for, our way of life
Ahhh, do you hear ‘em calling? (Do you?)
They’re psalms of war
You betrayed our Father’s word
He will come for us, as he always has and will
Into the chapel, Father forgive them
And on we drive, and on we drive
They cannot stop us with hearts alive
And on we ride, and on we ride
We cannot stop them with hearts alive
The reverie to quell the giants is silence

A beautiful piece of work, can't stop spinning it. Explores multiple genres, multiple emotions, and tells a fantastic story from beginning to end. Arecibo (once you click with the story) brings a tear to the eye. One of my favorite albums I've discovered this year Dawn
supported by 39 fans who also own “A Reverie to Quell the Giants”
I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 28, 2021
