about

This is about those world record domino attempts. When people would line up hundreds or thousands of dominos in intricate patterns and then knock the first one down causing a chain reaction where they all hopefully fall. It is about someone being very cheeky and trying to ruin the attempts of these people by knocking over the dominos before they are finished. The song has a sense of humour, not like laugh out loud humour, but a bit cheeky and silly, its a silly thing to write an extreme metal song about!

lyrics

LYRICS

The reward was in the fall. It sounded so absurd.
To build to destroy. Like farmers raise a herd
to slay, to feed. But that effect’s lasting.
See the tragedy of this is it’s gone near instantly.
Might briefly resurrect it as water cooler talk.
But it’s just like a bully kicks your sand-castle and walks.

Domino architect. Victim and assailant bound as one.

Domino architect. Treat the wall with respect.
Treat each fall like a death. Like each death’s worth respect.
The tragic’s camouflaged by a ruse of innocence.
The smiles conceal the loathing at the heart of each event.

That moment you’d most fear, one thousand stones to lay.
Nine hundred, ninety nine done. The thousandth starts to sway.
Your breath escapes. You flail.....too late.
A premature ending. Abuse ejaculates.

Domino architect. Victim and assailant bound as one.

I would be the prankster, saboteur. Discreetly intercept this.
I would be the prankster, saboteur. Discreetly intercept success.

I would be the prankster, saboteur. Discreetly intercept this.
I would be the prankster, saboteur. Discreetly intercept this.
I would be the prankster, saboteur. Discreetly intercept success.

Domino architect. Treat the wall with respect.
Treat each fall like a death. Like each death’s worth respect.
The tragic’s camouflaged by a ruse of innocence.
The smiles conceal the loathing at the heart of each event.
