Triumph in the Stink

Theory becomes war in the height of the Schism. Underground feasts meet skyline rituals, propaganda and infiltrations escalate, and the Knights of Emesis exploit the fracture — burning clinics, staging raids, and sabotaging rites. Here we see how blockage (literal and doctrinal) can bring societies to a halt. It ends with the hint that something older and stranger is starting to stir beneath the noise.

Lyrics:
"[Intro]
Below they dig, above they gleam,
Both chase the Tube through faith and dream.
One feeds the gut, one purges clean,
And chaos rides the cracks between.

[Verse 1]
The Maw bows down where shadows grow,
Their sermons hum in undertow.
They burn their dead to feed the clay,
Believing all returns that way.
The Temple stands in glass and chrome,
They purge the flesh to find the soul.
Their silver lights and cleansing tone,
Proclaim release, reject control.

[Chorus]
Feed the wound to make it mend,
Soil to star and back again.
The Worm ascends, the Maw remains,
Faith coils tight through sacred veins.

[Verse 2]
The Maw builds feasts beneath the ground,
Their choirs roar a chewing sound.
They claim the Tube still crawls below,
A living god they long to know.
The Temple hums in shining halls,
Their echoes hum through temple walls.
They flush the blood, they clear the stain,
They say the Tube has shed its chain.

[Pre-Bridge]
But peace decayed in sacred halls,
As bile met light and shame did sprawl.
Where stomachs churned and temples shone,
The Knights returned to claim their own.

[Bridge]
They stormed the GI wards at dawn,
PEG tubes waving, armor on.
They cried, “No Tube! No false disguise!
The gut’s the god the rest despise!”
The first Tube swallowed sky and night,
Follow the Feastbound’s sacred light.

[Chorus]
Feed the wound to make it mend,
Coil through soil and star again.
We feed the mouth that births us now,
The Tube consumes, we bow, we bow.

[Outro]
This is the age of obstruction 
This is the age of obstruction 
This is the age of obstruction 
This is the age of obstruction "
