Blood flowers bloom in pestilent catharsis / Self hate negation I'm my own nemesis / Lost all control and I just can't go on / The day is coming final darkness kill dawn / Beneath the burning I've been crushed the bridges fall / Winter feeds on autumn / A time exists for all / Incubate the sickness burining beneath the skin / No way out of darkness... Falling now... All hope is gone / Shallow praise, bend the gates and crawl / A weakling to the end / Empty glory, hollow reason / Distort and abuse / Red tide in darkness rise / And cascade before me / Shattered hope has built these walls / Empty eyes belie / A deeper world within me dwells / And suffocates inside / Beneath the burden I've been crushed / The bridges slowly burn / Winter feeds on autumn's death / A time exists for all / Cast down below me / The bridges slowly burn / Soul sick in emptiness / I can't carry on / Blood flowers bloom in pestilent catharsis / Self hate negations I'm my own nemesis / Lost all control and I just can't go on / To kill the dawn

Plain View 08:33
Face down and bound, floating in the bay / Found eaten and decayed / Were you aware? Where were you / When he was killed in plain view / Who was found, floating there today / Eaten and decayed / Were you aware? Where were you / When he was killed, killed in plain view / He yelled his name / Then looked towards home / He died surrounded / But all alone / His words had fallen / And swept away / One more body / Left at bay / Crippled weightless feeling under glass / Choke on silver lining desperate gasp / Rivers of red descending closing in / See a past through blood as it ends / The bay is shallow-not dark and deep / Bodies don't float out to sea / Come here at low tide you will see / The cty stalking just beneath / How many times have you been alone / Thrown your soul aside and gouged out your eyes / He yelled his name then looked towards home / He died surrounded but all alone / How many times have you passed by / Turned your head and closed your eyes / His words all fallen had swept away / One more body left at bay / How many times have you passed by / Closed your head and turned your eyes

Razor Blades 07:02
Not all who scorn their chains / Are free from their hell / You must rise from these streets / And stand to meet your fucking maker / For each one that's risen two more / have been driven underground / For each one left standing how many / Must be beaten and broken down / He feels safe behind the window bars / And double locks the door at night / Shotgun beneath the sheets / He doesn't realize the killer's trapped in side / His worst fears come alive / Trapped like fireflies wose little flashing lights / Wage eternal war with the night / Diseased grounds lay lifeless (bear the fruit of) / Minds like open wounds (discordant axis turns) / Test pattern screens as oblivion burns / Darkened supernovas (empty and divine) / The effigy of truth (and divine?) / Fallout from the graceless social mind / In the winter of dawning (bear the fruit of) / Bright light of a green sun burns (discordant axis turns) / From the ashen corpses we will rise / Plugged in for the draining (empty and divine) / A tomb rests in your useless hands (for the social mind) / Fallout from the graceless social mind / Just one look and then I'll know / Strip for me and I'll strip for you / I can see behind your eyes / There's a killer (madman) trapped inside / Delving deep into past times / Where there we will surely find / A dead and black barren land / Where nothing's ever left to stand / In this house upon the hill / Abandoned yard decayed landfill / Up close I saw how far away / You really were and then I knew / You'd never rise again / So I laid down beside and closed my eyes

about

The 3 songs on this split CD and the single track included on the "Crushers Killers Destroyers 2" comp release years later were recorded by Cruevo in the same session with Tim Green at San Francisco's Louder Studios in early 2001. Cruevo were actively playing shows with Brainoil, who they released the split CD with, including the infamous "Cruevo vs. Brainoil" shows at Burnt Ramen the split inspired. These recordings were done when Cruevo was at its peak, winning the acclaim of and inspiring many in the underground scene (and even in some mainstream magazines) worldwide, and blowing live audiences away all up and down the West Coast. Cruevo was sharing the stage with bands like High on Fire, Weedeater, Brainoil, Dystopia, Noothgrush, and many others during the tours and shows to support the release of the split CD.
