    Lucas' basslines are always killer, but on this particular record they are truly amazing.. beautiful and inventive, in the part that starts 4:36 he even gets a mini-solo that sounds like a fairy quickly tip-toeing underneath the sweet guitar multi-noodling. Later on the album, on Loyalty at 27:03 he's laying out a simple but sooo powerful bassline before yet another great flutey mellotrony breakdown. Waaaaa these guys are so good... hope they never break up, wish they never die

    One of my fondest memories is seeing them play this live. It was my favourite song of the performance. The whole crowd was heaving and roaring; I'd never been in a mosh before, and I was part of a circle mosh during this song. The commotion, the energy, the movement, was truly electrifying, and that combined with the kaleidoscopic light show and the nature of the lyrics actually transported me to the world of the song: the crashing waves of the sea, the storm, and the castle at the centre of it

    Meet me glassy eyed, blind, and divine
    Hold down the fort on the coastline
    The castle is a pimple on the face of the world
    A humble spot for tracks to drop if you listen
    I see through the bricks, to the sea, crumbling castle
    Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle
    Inching closer each century, crumbling castle
    Are we safe in our citadel?
    Look upon our condition, crumbling castle
    You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle
    We pray for the death, that does not come, crumbling castle
    Dug all of our holes in God's Acre, crumbling castle
    We have even said our last rites, crumbling castle
    Are we safe in our holding cell?
    Look upon our condition, crumbling castle
    We head to our extinction, crumbling castle
    The sounds of the constant lightning
    Would be enough to block out the
    Fall of the end of the world if it were
    Not for the tinnitus from the bomb
    In the wind I sway, back and forth
    I'm brittle as an aged human being
    When my walls are safe from wild weather
    The filth forms into great nastiness
    Polygondwanaland
    I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
    I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
    I don't want to fall into dust
    I don't want nothing but to live on
    The ache inside my keep spurs me on
    I don't want to be visible
    Polygondwanaland
    I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
    I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
    On this very day, in one thousand
    Years the earth will be relative to the
    Sun and the moon and a new world will be
    Created, I know because it is written here
    I see through the bricks to the sea, crumbling castle
    Inching closer each century, crumbling castle
    Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle
    Are we safe in our citadel?
    Look upon our condition, crumbling castle
    You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle
    I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
    Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
    Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
    Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
