"The Quietus" and "SoundsXP" both highlight the 16 minute epic protest song, "The Armenian Genocide", with "The Quietus" calling it one of the most powerful tracks Cope's recorded. "SoundsXP" called it the album's strongest track, describing it as "a powerful and moving tale about ethnic hatred." In the song, according to David Cavanagh, Cope excoriates modern-day Turkey for refusing to recognise the crimes of the Ottoman Empire and "points a bony finger at the world’s conscience and demands the ratification that Armenians have awaited for a century". Cope adopts the character of an Armenian traveller caught up in the death marches of 1915, recounting the tale of a brutal mass starvation. "He adds more and more musical ingredients to the mix, symbolically mirroring the desecrations heaped on the marchers at each stage of their route". For the first 12 minutes it describes the death march in filmic terms, according to Ged McAlea, "and then suddenly locks into the word “people”, repeated hypnotically and relentlessly to convey the hideousness of the crime."
