- INTRO -
2.
:: FIRST FLAWS IN THE MASTER PLAN :: Mechanical town, the robots a' snare. Mayhem has begun, the system must shut down. Time sets the pace of this march - This line cannot be undone. Resist the numbers! Destroy the machine - numerical morphine. Take cover, it's a clock bomb! System shut down, revive! Mediator we need you; Mediator we need you now! Redeeming pair of old fashioned lungs. Now be told, the time has come. A scene into forever - A mechanical unwinding. (There can be no understanding between the hands and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator)
3.
Swords 03:29
:: SWORDS :: The dead man made a plan - Maps of capillaries - Building a soldier of righteousness. Candles can't light the way; Be bright, be bright. The east is in flood! Spread the news, light the fuse; Conquer, conquer! This is madness! This romance divine. Oh peasant man, you take and you take and you take. The whole earth shakes And still we stand and watch as words drip Like passengers from sinking ships. Take my golden crown! Kingdom to the King! Breach the line, move the stone! Oh, Judge, I am guilty.
4.
:: THE SEEING ROOM :: Take down the banner, So my eyes don't find the catch of this sting. I don't want to pay with my limbs. Oh, beautiful dream, satisfy my mind - Clear the room so I may see The things I did not create. Divide our tongues! Captivate, oh, sweet celebration! Romantic wings of peace That aided the man of the ark to the peaks. Prints under my feet walk the narrow road, Find room to hide before the sun fetches the sand And the numbers become so few. Power to the mighty man, not the committee. You are welcome here.
5.
:: THEN CAME SAILING :: The cannon's failed - We lost our grip on ropes that keep us afloat. Drop the anchor, so we can raise our hands And not the flag of mercy. Man overboard - taken by the bait. Shoot at will, kill the beast! Oh Lord; this ocean so great. Oh Lord; the men so afraid. Oh Lord; we accept You as the wind in our sails. Oh Lord; You are my baptist. Oh Lord; You are my captain. Remove the hook. We carry on to the great sea. Steer the ship - our treasure lies not here. Fill the ship. Fill the ship my God...

Interruption 01:07
- INTERLUDE -
7.
:: A FLOOD CAME TEARING :: How I hated discipline. Teeth sharper than knives. The scent of a snake. Backbone avalanche - Catastrophe! Drown the hounds! Consume me mighty whale; I am yours. Teacher, teach me about water and miracles. Open my lungs for a flood to enter And tear away the world. The river bed is dry - refresh my thirst of blood. Take your money thief. This is not a rumour: two thousand years. To the top champion! And the waves crash down.

about

Atlantic was written over a period of one year and features most of our earliest material as a band. Some of those re-worked over time.

The album was recorded at Considerthis Studios in Somerset West over a period of two months. Album tracking was done over weekend sessions in between playing shows and doing some small tours.

The record was later mastered by Dean Bailey at Cloud Studios in Plumstead, Cape Town.

The album artwork was designed by our good friend Schalk Venter and casings were cut and screen-printed by hand by the band members themselves. Two-hundred copies were printed overall.

FFO: Botch • The Chariot • Norma Jean • He Is Legend • Oh, Sleeper • Every Time I Die • Vanna • As Cities Burn • Oceana • A Hope For Home • La Dispute • mewithoutYou • This Will Destroy You •

Thanks for listening.
