How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This is the first track on the album that features vocals; “The Ascent” is a short instrumental.

The lyrics reflect upon the struggle against the destructive pull of pride. The Devil is trying to influence people to commit sins, including pride/arrogance. Most of the song deals with attachment to the Devil, but it also touches on subjects like mass destruction and past regret.

The static noise at the end of the song serves as a segue into the next track, “Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over”.
