The air is thin, the night is quiet.
You have reprieve from my design.
So take a seat, sign on the line and enjoy the ride.
I have a name that some malign,
The reasons which some people cry,
Then go to war, come home to die - an alibi.
It all seems tangible and I know why,
I hold life's mandible, avert your eyes.
Children running - I name their price.
The wheels keep turning on the road to
Meet your Maker/Breaker.
I'm in your homes, I'm in your streets.
I lay with the dead, nuzzling their cheeks.
The art of war.
The art of lying.
Are you scared?
It all seems tangible, and I know why,
I snap life's mandible, look in my eyes.
Children burning - I named their price.
World stops turning.
Meet your Maker/Breaker.

God these guy's rock. Had the other two albums, came to this late, but wow, such an album. Love the raw "live" sound, each song is heavy and groovy with the right amount of soul in it. Need to see these live. thehairybadger26
This album is utterly and completely fantastic. Just mind-blowing heavy psych. A shame that this band folded after this album, because it’s just so, so good. Yet another Ripple release that gets played regularly. Kirk Gauthier
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
