Kaladin put his own back toward Adolin, preventing either of them from being attacked from behind. “What are you doing here, bridgeboy?” Adolin hissed from within his helmet. “Playing one of the ten fools.” Adolin grunted. “Welcome to the party.”

Adolin: Better a six-way duel with the bridgeboy than a three-way date

The all along tree came just from her fruit

no seed from parent, no replanted root.

She grows and she climbs, reaching for the skies

but finds only more flesh, then she shrivels and dies.

You call for her back but she's run out of light,

roots run out of water, despite searching all night.

Before she's all gone though, she bears you a gift

a fruit just so sweet that you weep when it's sniffed

something so crisp and refreshing and cool

you so long for a taste that you choke on your drool.

But it seems you've forgotten, it's already inside

it sits whole in your stomach, your raptured denied.

It lays deep within until, it's skin sloughing off,

you can taste at its fumes, bringing sickening cough.

So sweet that you're sick, rotting organs fester

but something is growing, and she's heard you request her.

Roots wriggle down into intestines and meat,

through stomach lining finding sources of heat.

Branches grow up, with leaves into lung

crowding your throat to take hold of your tongue.

She drinks up your water and warmth and your bile,

roots knotting in your guts and twigs in your smile,

until all that is left to grow whole and complete

is a glimpse of the sun you're never to eat.

And so she will shrivel, and you're left full of rot

but the all along tree left a gift, like it or not.

"What can I do for you, my lady?"

"I need a suit of armour modified," the lady said.

The armourer took her measurements, checked the pieces, and gave her an appraising look. "You've had this a while?"

"Yes. Since before... Ah..."

"Thought so. You'll need new thigh pieces and a wider skirt."

Theurgy, the last band on there, is my GOAT

Finally had a time to listen to this in one sitting (started Thursday evening but fell asleep to it)

I am not particularly fond of bdm in the style of septic autopsy, but this was quite an engaging listen. I agree with you that theurgy is the best band on this (they seem the most innovative), I'm just afraid I can no longer take them seriously because I thought their vocals sound like a frog and now I can't unhear it. Overall enjoyable, thanks for the rec
