“Clairvoyance” ferociously breaks the gate down speaking about his means to understand occasions sooner or later whereas “Blood Stains on Coliseum Flooring” works in a crooning soul pattern posing the query of why one would imagine in religion when each single prophecy he’s accustomed to has been ignored.
