about

The imagery here is of the weighing of one's heart/soul against a feather in Egyptian mythology. The scale was calibrated by Maat, and If you had lived a just, good life, your heart would be lighter than the feather. If you lived an unjust, evil life, you would be cast into darkness. The principle theme here is that we are all judged by our deeds, actions, and sympathies. The closing lyrics — which feature guest vocals from Ethan Lee McCarthy of Primitive Man, Vermin Womb, & Many Blessings, & Ben Hutcherson from Khemmis and Glacial Tomb — to this song are "When we're gone we'll be consumed by the maw of the void. Will we have been a worthy vessel for the light of the all?"

lyrics

would you be
a force which liberates
would you wish
to fight for that that’s life

or do you wish
to hide behind the knife
to ingratiate yourself
with profane might

when we’re gone
we’ll be consumed
by the maw
of the void

will we have been
a worthy vessel
for the light
of the all
