lyrics

Back in Alexandria, a match tucked in his sash,
Later in Berlin and dressed in black,
Once the words take phoenix wings; choirs of angels welcoming,
No rebirth, no return and there’s no coming back,
A spark ignites in ’66 in wake of plague and fear,
Of motives and of scapegoats there’s no lack,
They said it couldn’t happen now, it couldn’t happen here,
The frail voice of reason – starts to crack.

Salamander in the fire, throw yourself into the pyre,
Pop and crackle, blister burn, everybody take a turn,
Books become the fuel of choice, silencing their nagging voice,
Knowledge unbound from the page, fills the air with rage rage rage,

Raging in the grating or consuming the whole house,
He seemed to be so friendly, close and warm,
From London to Atlanta, then Chicago to Hiroshima,
Now his very presence threatens harm.
He runs a calloused fingertip along the gathered spines
With eyes are black as coal and just as calm,
His actions have a friction that will spark a frenzied first attack,
Now his very presence… spells alarm.

Salamander in the fire, throw yourself into the pyre,
Pop and crackle, blister burn, everybody take a turn,
Books become the fuel of choice, silencing their nagging voice,
Knowledge unbound from the page, fills the air with rage rage rage,

Fills the air with rage rage rage.

Rage Rage Rage.

First full lenght album by the band, preceded by the two excellent EP's 'Fault Line' and 'Reflections'.
