The first song in the album, Ring 8 describes the outermost of the “Rings” in the fictional city of Antimai. Technically not even a Ring, it encompasses everything beyond the 7th wall of the city, but a rough circumference formed by treacherous crater walls and cliffs outlines the slums and neighbor...

[Verse 1]
One kind met with a great divide
Walls prescribe the worth of a bloodline
Antimai had forgotten what it was created for
Outside, life has a different plight
Where chance invites bereavement of every kind
Antimai, don't get too attached to who you get to know
[Chorus]
(Deadzone) And we're far, far away
You know, we're dying just to get a glimpse
(Disowned) And then we get turned away
Good day, back to the beginning
(Hang tight) Cycles never-ending, living on the outside
Living on the outside
[Bridge]
We're going hungry and we're out of time
Faith in The Child keeps us pretty alright
Just past the dividing line
Between the blessed and cursed of Antimai
[Verse 2]
New home, hard to go it alone
Seize fate, pair off and procreate
Antimai will find 'em a use when they are old enough
Young blood blessed to make the cut
Past erased, all by the holy state of Antimai
[Chorus]
(Deadzone) And from far, far away
You know, we're dying just to get a glimpse
(Disowned) And then we get turned away
Good day, back to the beginning
(Hang tight) Cycles never-ending, living on the outside
(Deadzone) And with so little left and nowhere else to go
(Disowned) We would have to be crazy to talk back
It's better we hang tight
Someone's bound to come and save us
