When The “Wrath” Began (Wrong, But In Throes Lyrics)

My journey into the realm of “The Gods” began with this song. I was looking for a project that was serious. I was in a project that was, when looking back on it, a total joke. My relationship with the word serious goes a little further than… “wow that was a great tasting beer… I think I will have another… seriously…”. The people I was dealing with were still wet behind the ears and seemed to have serious problems with commitment. I bet they couldn’t even choose between single or double-ply toilet paper… If the single ply doesn’t work and it gets messy just fucking fold and use more already… Dude quit wasting my time! Anyways… I will not get into messy toilets, that is not my thing… seriously.

So yeah, what the fuck was I talking about? Oh yeah, so I was online looking for a project that would occupy some spare time that I had because the band I was in was infantile and going nowhere. I was not looking to leave my current project necessarily, the rare occasions we did work together were fun. I just wanted to move forward and experience more because my current project was crawling at the rate of a quadraplegic turtle.

I found a posting online for a “serious band looking for a bass player”… oh no… it is that word again… serious. The posting said “we have the studio, the marketing plan and are ready to go when YOU are.” I dug that… I am not a big fan of being pushed into shit I am not ready for… I got enough issues.

I check out the band’s MySpace page… hmmmm nice logo, I love the name… they seem larger than life… but then… then… I get that twitch in my right brow again… my finger starts to fidget on the mouse, is the fucking speaker wire tangled again?…. ahhhhhh fuck did I turn on the little pesky knob? (which is loose and has a fucking mind of it’s own… it loves to screw with my head… I know it does). Nope… it is not me this time it’s the bloody media player on MySpace. I feel my teeth clenching harder as I keep thinking to myself “play, play, play, play, play…” I have already spent a whole 3 1/2 seconds on the page and nothing! Christ is it me or am I just a wee-but too impatient?! Ok wait something is happening…

KERPLOW… the tune starts. In the blink of an eye I was hooked… seriously.
