Why should I prove myself to you? Cold empty stare, through hungry eyes. So empty, yet so full of wonder, of what could be. I feel myself decay, when I'm around you. But I just can't keep away, bound in this spell you've cast on me. Bound in your web of tyranny, but I have broken free, but I have broken free. Set in my ways of self-destruction, to lead me to the grave. If I sin for you, will you pray for me? (Pray for me.) If I sin for you, will you pray for me? I feel myself decay, when I'm around you. But I just can't keep away, bound in this spell you've cast upon me. Hear my plea! If I sin for you, will you pray for me? With all you've said to me, how will you ever be worth my time again? Bound in your web of tyranny. Hear my plea! If I sin for you, will you pray for me? Why should I, have to prove myself? (Why should I, have to prove myself to you?) To you.

Ecstasy 03:26
The winds are pulling me up, against the flood, of people watching me, how can I help but drown? The flood is consuming me. I'll lead you to, I'll send you down, to the abyss. These waters are my home, so come and swim with me. The tides will pull us under, and we will drown in ecstasy. These waters are my home, so come and swim with me. The tides will pull us under. Oh they're consuming me, and I'm drowning in this deadly sea. Against the tides, we will fight to survive. In ecstasy. In ecstasy. (Tides will take us home.) In ecstasy. (Take us home.) These waters are my home, so come and swim with me. The tides will pull us under, and we will drown in ecstasy. And we will drown. In ecstasy.

I walk the plank alone, as one always does. Wood beneath my feet, hands tied behind my back. Sea salt spray against my face, sharks circling below. I hear the laughter behind me, from my mutineers, as my feet touch the water, how do i escape? Watch as I regress into this, unable to cope with your injustice. (Taste your tyranny.) Watch as we regress into this. Watch as we, watch as we protest. (Taste your tyranny.) How do I escape, my fate? Blood turns the water crimson red. I feel the pinch of teeth in my flesh. Taste the salt in my throat, and in my eyes. Watch as I regress into this, unable to cope with your injustice. (Taste your tyranny.) (Watch as I, watch as I.) Protest. My scent, is in the water, the scent of my blood. The sharks, are circling me. They're hunting me down.
4.
When we lose our way, we hope and pray. (Hope and pray.) That this day won't come again, and we won't be lost. (Be lost.) Amongst the trouble and strife, that can occur. (In our life.) We hope and pray, we hope and pray, for the end of this. As I choose life and you lose yours, I assure my heart will break. We stumble and we fall, we trip and make the wrong call. My heart will break. You will never find me, in your dreams. Sin is the new black, we're best dressed in blasphemy. The trees are alive, they scream, they cry. As I choose life and you lose yours, I assure my heart will break. We stumble and we fall, we trip and make the wrong call. (My heart will break.) I'll sing this song, I'll scream and shout, when I feel down, when I have doubt. I'll sing this song, I'll scream and shout, when I feel down, when I have doubt. (My heart will break.) As I choose life and you lose yours, I assure my heart will break. (We hope and pray, hope and pray. We hope and pray, for this day.)

about

"Stem The Tide is an immense effort that will not leave you disappointed. We Die Tonight are onto something big, if their debut full-length follows a similar route, then needless to say they won't be an underground act for much longer."
(Kate Rees, Room Thirteen)

"If We Die Tonight continue to improve following this release, they can certainly consider themselves a part of that list."
(Ben Cable, Hevy Petal)

"If weighty, unrelenting hardcore is your thing then you will find plenty to enjoy here."
(Hevy Petal)
