A Flood Came Tearing

lyrics

:: 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.

Theatre Cape Town, South Africa

Theatre was an experimental chaotic hardcore outfit formed in South Africa, in mid-2008, after the expiration of its member’s previous bands. They bring genre-smashing music to the foreground that is both unique in construction and chaotic in design.
