about

The Missoula Flood formed "the Scablands" of eastern Washington.

lyrics

So named for their resemblance to
partly healed wounds cut deep into
the epidermis of the earth
a satellite image now confirms

Father of Neo-Catastrophism
Father of Neo-Catastrophism birth

What you can see that you can’t explain
What you can be that you can’t explain
Inside of me flooding inundate
And your cellular memory just accepts its fate

What you can be that you can’t explain
570 miles above me can you feel this pain?
Our landscape irrevocable changed
And your cellular memory just accepts its fate

500 cubic miles burst through
the remnants of the ice barrier
with almost unfathomable force
massive boulders
granite with no source

What you can see that you can’t explain
What you can be that you can’t explain
Inside of me flooding inundate
And your cellular memory just accepts its fate

What you can be that you can’t explain
570 miles above me can you feel this pain?
Our landscape irrevocable changed
And your cellular memory just accepts its fate

Its fate

Let the observer take the wings of the morning to the uttermost parts of the earth, he will nowhere find its likeness.
