The Acacia Strain

Step Into the Light

Untended Graves

---

Vocals

There is passion in this voice. I like it.

Music

I like how it started with a strong pace, which went well with the vocal. About a minute in, it changed to something I have heard done so many times. At least it isn't the whole song defined, though we end on it again. Listening to this without the video is better. With it, it felt so long and made me creeped out by baby birds. But it was different... I will give them that.

Lyrics

I guess this is just saying how it is. A grave is a place for a dead body. Some people keep graves nice with flowers, grass cut, and visitors. And some people do not even have a marked grave or anything to say a human lived and died. 

The cemetery grass grows thick with the stench of the dead
Blood and bone fertilize the flower bed
Caskets collapse with the weight of the grime
Nothing but growth to remember us by
Markers wither with time
No trace was left behind
