[Forced by her husband, whose desperate attempts to gain relevancy and societal importance have failed repeatedly, Susan is thrown to the Shark Pit of tabloid journalism to tear into her mediocre Opera Performance]
lyrics
The Mogul:
May She Sing?
Opera Dies Tonight
Susan:
Never Wished To Be
Opera´s Grand Madam
Why Do I stand Here
Drowning in Mz Own Sweat
The Journalist:
You May Build a Temple
Susan:
What has he To Gain
From Humiliating Me
Cannot hit a single note
The Audience Points and Laughs
The Journalist:
You may build a Temple for a whore
But she will never be more
You may build a Temple for a whore
But she will never be more than
A concubine

The song structures say Gorguts by way of Ion Dissonance. Guitar tone says Gojira by way of The Red Chord?! Interesting stuff, a big step up from their last album. Ghuughra
