lyrics

as if we weren't already trying to compensate
the ruin we brought upon others.
as if we weren't convinced that our lives
bear nothing more than this carnal prison.

great god of grief. a light drifting to me.
release the grip. before you bare my shame.
this was condemned to fail.
this was already mapped out.
grave consequence adorned with doubt.

as if we weren’t considering our cruelties
pulling the flesh towards putrid sin
as if we weren't residing in the depths
where great beasts sleep carrying our misdeeds

great god of grief. a light drifting to me.
release the grip. before you bare my shame.
this was condemned to fail.
this was already mapped out.
grave consequence adorned with doubt.

now i see that we are excellent in our ferociousness

blinded with our own defects.
still they are conspicuous like lightning in stormlit nights.
wearily wandering the sombre path to avert the burning sun

of haunting the hearts of the worthless.
of dwelling on lost memories
of waiting for the silence
of repelling the unalterable truth
of that there is no doubt that we are the greatest disappointment
that ever has shone upon this world.

Vicious, sharp album that whacks you down with it's million accurate knife stabs. It packs such unexplained concentrated heaviness inside that it's not even funny. This record will swipe your smile off and take the command inside your brains. Unique and marvelous record that is hard to unwrap. It just works perfectly. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡

This album is an extension of an already awesome catalogue which somehow incrementally grows in quality. Where most bands you can pick and choose which album or track is your favourite with Ultha it is impossible. ‘Belong’ keeps the band on that upward curve and I can categorically state they are my favourite band of all time!!! 🤘 TOWDATHABTE

Majestic and valiant album that releases all emotional tensions before the listener. Well-crafted elegant and vivid concept from artists who truly knows what they are doing. Like enormous mass of blue flames of purification cleansing one's soul. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
