The end is near
They’ve come on pale horses
But these sheep don’t fear wolves
Our path has been revealed
We’ll shed our skin
The innocent lamb will spill its blood
Slaughtered by the sharpened sword
And now the world will have its own
front row seat to the becoming
His people are to accept that judgement
No matter what the devil tells us
No matter what the devil tells us
No matter what the devil tells us
The innocent lamb will spill its blood
Slaughtered by the sharpened sword
And now the world will have its own
front row seat to the becoming
As the fire rains down, can you see his intent now?
Evening wolves abound, can you feel his intentions?
Can you see the power now?
Can you feel the glory?

Weight Of The Crown
03:41

Beaten and broken
With bloodshot eyes
Giving in to the martyr
Now I realize
I carry all of this weight
The crushing weight of the crown
We built this up
Just to tear it all down
I don’t want your cardboard dreams
Bound for glory you will be
Manufactured guillotine
Poised to create a legacy
Torn between hope and ruin
Torn between hope and ruin
I carry all of this weight
The crushing weight of the crown
We built this up
Just to tear it all down
TEAR IT DOWN!
Everything that I’ve known
Was smashed to the ground
I’m beginning to break
Struggling to remove this pain
I’m beginning to rise
Take the throne seize my rightful reign

Welcome to East End
A city impoverished and spent
Where the destitute go
To indulge in sin
From Hell he came
Playing the Devil’s game
Preying on the weak
Five harlots from the street
The Gates Broke Open
Terror Began
East Side Madman Strikes Again
London Screams With Rife Anger
The Devil Works Under Cloak & Dagger
Brush strokes from white to black
The chapel went dark forever
Your Star was born to serve
This epicenter of torture
Did you get your headline?
Have you satisfied your drudge?
Stacking pounds as streets run red
You profit from their bloodshed
From Hell he came
Playing the Devil’s game
Preying on the weak
Five harlots from the street
The Gates Broke Open
Terror Began
East Side Madman Strikes Again
London Screams With Rife Anger
The Devil Works Under Cloak & Dagger
Did you get your headline?
Have you satisfied your drudge?
Stacking pounds as streets run red
You profit from their bloodshed

Matriarch
02:58

Look at all the blank corpses
With synthetic addictions
Like parasites on her skin
Walking the line of extinction
How do you sit by and watch
This forceful violation?
I bring your actions into question
Such reckless destruction
Drown out this infestation
Eliminate this ruthless plague
Wage war against this contagion
Defend this matriarch
Look at the sounder of swine
Without an ounce of conviction
Tuned in to their own frequency
Stampeding over affliction
How do you sit by and watch
This forceful violation?
I bring your actions into question
Such reckless destruction
Drown out this infestation
Eliminate this ruthless plague
Wage war against this contagion
Defend this matriarch
Why do you sit by and watch
This forceful violation?
I bring your actions into question
Such reckless destruction
Why do you sit by and watch
This forceful violation?
I bring your actions into question
Such reckless destruction

Down In Flames
02:37

It’s 4 a.m. I can’t sleep
Reflecting on all my flaws
Hopelessness. Restlessness.
Just how hot do the embers burn?
I wrote a note and exhaled
The flames with the strongest light
Will arise from the darkest ash
It’s 4 a.m. I can’t breathe
Afraid to face the unknown
Terrified. Petrified.
Just how hot do the embers burn?
I wrote a note and exhaled
Set these wings ablaze
I’ll set these wings ablaze and ignite uncertainty
If it means I can escape this constant suffering
The flames with the strongest light
Will arise from the darkest ash
Burn these thoughts and be free
Burn these thoughts and be free

Ouroboros

Take these thoughts from me
Coiled up in uncertainty
Lost within myself
Please just let me sleep
Help me shed this skin
Help me shed this skin
How do I shed these feelings of nothingness?
How do I rid myself of these feelings of worthlessness?
My biggest fear is that I'll drown in the waters of content
Where the fires of conviction have long been extinguished
Take these thoughts from me
Plagued for eternity
Withdraw this venom
Please just let me sleep
How do I shed these feelings of nothingness?
How do I rid myself of these feelings of worthlessness?
My biggest fear is that I'll drown in the waters of content
Where the fires of conviction have long been extinguished
Help me shed this skin
Help me shed this skin
HELP ME SHED THIS SKIN
HELP ME SHED THIS SKIN

Our music is drawn from the media’s manipulation and sensationalism of cults, serial killers and murders, while others are drawn from anxiety, depression, abuse, neglect or the destruction of our planet.
