lyrics

All the walls you've built up thought indestructible
The acrid smell of burning flesh pervades your nostrils
Structure topples, you feel hopeless watching it burn down
The personas living there unprotected by the crown

Embrace the fire
Your life's the pyre

Broken down and vulnerable, you journey to the West
Reunited with your will; a life put to the test
The rebuilding, reconstruction happens stone by stone
Realizing that, this time, you need not be alone

Embrace the fire
Your life's the pyre

Life upended, soul unrooted the planting takes its toll
However, worth it, process painful growth without a goal
Now a brand new world unfolding like a flower in the morn
The Sun peeks out, a brand new day in the land of the reborn

I'm sad to see this era of Beastmaker close out but this is a phenomenal way to do! Black Butterfly might be the best thing they've ever done. dianonhead

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music! Brett

I didn't realize how great Beastmaker were until I put this in and really gave it a good listen. Man, if anyone ever sounded like the mighty Black Sabbath it's these guys and that's a major compliment! Sabbath made me the metalhead I am today. So super happy to discover these guys. Guitar tone is heavy as shit and the singer has that creepy Ozzy sound that's perfect for this music. Beastmaker are the classic Sabbath sound circa 1970. I play this all the time. knutepanhead
