1. Intro - Saul I Am 2:13
Saul I am
A mere reflection of the man I've become

2. Moth And Rust In The Temple Of Putridity 3:14
Only through my trial
I have come to see the selfishness within me
To be partial with my King and favor myself
How long Lord will I let this continue?
The evil desires within me
Thank You for taking this to the cross
For giving Yourself
So I don't have to live in the perception of depravity

3. Humble King 3:11
Have Your way with me Lord
Discipline at its best
Teach me to lay my burdens
Before Your feet
And refuse the sin within me
Your anguish released me
Your courage fulfilled me
May the world know I serve
A humble King that is never ashamed
To accept a heart as black as mine

4. Undeserved 3:32
Who will save me from
The beast I've become?
Who will take away
The shame within me?
I am filth
But there is One
Who made me clean
This body is death
His Spirit is life
I am made whole
Through His righteousness
I have accepted the Father
And the Father sees me clean
Praise You Jesus for Your hand
In this raging sea

5. Galatians 5 2:56
Freedom will be declared in this life
Freedom to assist and express love
To my brothers and sisters
To the law I am dead
By the Spirit I am led
Teach me to control myself, O Lord
Show me the meaning of patience
And to abound in the ways of the Son

6. To Test With Fire 3:21
My God where do You want me?
Where will You take me Lord?
Teach me to fulfill the plan You have for me
For You allow all things to grow
I have rejected Your ways
To pursue my own
And it's left me with hopeless feelings
Show me my efforts are worthy
Test me with fire Lord
Bring me into the light

7. Rabboni - True Vision 3:32
How can You deny Yourself as good?
Humble Father I worship You
I'd sacrifice all I am
To spend one minute
In Your presence
I am a fool
Clinging to materials
With a sense of pride
I am not worthy Lord
My hunger for vision and proof
Reveals the impatient man I am
To see Your flesh
And hear Your voice
Breathe on me Lord
I welcome Your Spirit




Skin Stripped Away (single)

October 6, 2011, Independent (Digital)
June 29, 2023, Independent (Digital)

1. Skin Stripped Away 2:29
How it must have felt
How it must have felt
How it must have felt

Devouring the sacred flesh
Composed of purity
Mangled in pity
From a wretched committee
Corpus Christi

Stripped down, naked and bare
Vision gory
Revealing the glory
Completing the story
Of momento mori

Nails piercing the skin
Veins were spewing
Body bruising
Eyes were viewing
Severely accusing

Coarsened He died for sin
Loudly weeping
Death was creeping
Its final reaping
For our safekeeping

Skin stripped away
The ultimate price he paid
On that fateful day




The Killer In Me (single)

November 6, 2012, Rottweiler Records, (Digital)
July 4, 2013, Independent (Digital)

1. The Killer In Me 2:24
How do You see me
Through Your eyes
Are You ashamed of me
They say You suffered
On the cross
And paid my penalty
Circumstances
Second chances
I live my life on repeat
If You're the God
That they say You are
Can Your hand reach me?

In a time of my emptiness
Through the faults
Of my wickedness

For the lack
Of my gratefulness
Can You make it stop

I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses, with a heart so black

Was the weeping
And the grieving
Intended for me

I am a killer of the innocent
A growing plague, a pestilence

I am the thorn that chokes the seed
The spiteful crown that made You bleed

When the ground consumes this waste
Remember me in the holy place

I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses, with a heart so black

1. Mouth Of The Tomb 2:02
At the mouth of the tomb
Come forth tribulation

2. The Killer In Me 2:24
How do You see me
Through Your eyes
Are You ashamed of me
They say You suffered
On the cross
And paid my penalty
Circumstances
Second chances
I live my life on repeat
If You're the God
That they say You are
Can Your hand reach me?

In a time of my emptiness
Through the faults
Of my wickedness

For the lack
Of my gratefulness
Can You make it stop

I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses, with a heart so black

Was the weeping
And the grieving
Intended for me

I am a killer of the innocent
A growing plague, a pestilence

I am the thorn that chokes the seed
The spiteful crown that made You bleed

When the ground consumes this waste
Remember me in the holy place

I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses, with a heart so black

3. Iniquitous Decimation 2:03
Comprehension fades
In the wake of vile desecration
In a Godless age
Clinging to a fallen nation
Rape, murder, genocide
Contorting my beliefs
Bloodbath from every side
Restless internal grief
Watch the earth decay into the cesspool of our decline
The human race, scattered astray as bombs decorate the skyline
Shepherd of the lost
Source of supreme understanding, bearer of the cross
Back to the notion of living
Comprehension fades
In the wake of vile desecration
In a Godless age
Clinging to a fallen nation
Restoration waits on the hands of declaration
The coming of a King
Construing the base of fixation

4. Incarcerated 2:55
Rape the mind
Infect the spirit
With images bent on destruction
Fulfill the fantasies of the flesh
Bowing to its instruction
Lead the slaves to an endless path of self indulgent devotion
Tear away the search for release
To progress in Godly notions
This is the incarceration
From the god of putrefaction
Design to defile
Free the mind
Release the spirit from the trait of atrocious decline
Deny the devotion of the flesh
Refusal to be confined
How can you starve the dying when the substance is decay
How can you feed the living
With your instrument of dismay

5. Parasitic Contamination 2:25
A familiar place
A cold embrace
We are so hungry
We are so hungry
Deprived from the frame of your existence
Suffocating on deceit
Crawling through the shards of disbelief
Parting the scars of ambitious desire
Infecting to decomposition
This is your diet of desolation
The substance that blinds
To live this is to fear this
To fear this is to die
Alleviation declines
You're the contagion
Conscience seeks chasing a savior
Finding godless behavior

6. Banishment 3:45
For too long I've choked on the lies and the devious schemes you conduct
Distortion of the focal path
Waiting for the aftermath
Breathing in the will to deconstruct
Justification
The foundation you can never reach
Sanctification
The departure from the death you preach
Glorification
Prohibition of your ominous trait
Eradication
From His wrath you will never escape
Flee
Buried beneath the flesh of the earth
There is no escape
Carried to hell
Blazed, scorching rebirth
There is no escape

7. Skin Stripped Away 2:28
How it must have felt
Devouring of the sacred flesh
Composed of purity
Mangled in pity
From a wretched committee
Corpus Christi
Stripped down, naked and bare
Vision gory
Revealing the glory
Completing the story
Momento mori
Nails piercing the skin
Veins were spewing
Body bruising
Eyes were viewing
Severely accusing
Coarsened He died for sin
Loudly weeping
Death was creeping
Its final reaping
For our safe keeping
Skin stripped away
The ultimate price was paid
On that fateful day
Skin stripped away
Stripped down, naked and bare
Where they gathered to stare
Skin stripped away
The price we all should have paid




The Anatomy Of Impurity (EP)

September 3, 2013, Independent (CD, Digital)
February 25, 2014, Rottweiler Records (CD, Digital)

1. Reconciliation 3:11
Day by day I tell myself I am a failure
I mock Your words
I spit in Your face
You forgive me
How can You forgive me when I can't forgive myself?
I was once a careless man
Using You for comfort not listening to Your word
I abused You
I tremble at Your word with holy expectation
Change me
Help me make a difference, in my generation
Help my generation help the generation
Your love is greater than all
No matter the sin, no matter the fall
Your possibilities are beyond all

2. Deadland 3:13
And so here I am on this journey
My mind contorted with corruption
Feeble and frustrated with my failures
Give me strength, O Lord
Why do I continue driving in the nails
When I know You feel the pain
Give me strength, O Lord

3. Reflections Of Suffering 3:33
I see this man hanging on the cross
Naked and cold
As his blood pours out
I stare in wonder
Is this a reflection of my suffering?
Could such be done for a man so vile?
So much blood, so much flesh
Disfigured beyond our likeness
Who could endure this?
As suffocation settled in
He stared me in the eyes
And cried forgiveness
Over all, over me
Upon his last breath
I felt the flames of hell
Awestruck, I fell to the ground
In submission from who I was
And in that moment, defined through death
I knew that man

4. My Cross To Claim 3:51
As days fall behind me
Submissive perceptions relay my failure
Mockery resides in Your courts
From the mouth that spat in Your face
Yet, forgiveness lit the flame
Mercy You've shown is mercy unknown
Hiding in the shadow of an opulent grave
Careless was this man
Illusive to the gathered
Abusive with Your favor
Oblivious to Your word
Trembling lies at
The foothill of glory
From the generation
Entrenched with change
Change me
Your love surpasses the collapse of every man

5. 40 Days 4:12
I've seen the deepest parts of me
Stripped away and contorted by sin
I've seen the joy and security fade
Felt the breath of Lucifer down my neck
Dwelling in mortal decay
Choked on the lie
For far too long
Resistance is lost
In the lies of your deception
Liberated in the Blood
I'm liberated in the Blood

6. Residue Of Eden 2:10
(Instrumental)

August 11, 2017, Sevared Records (CD)

ORIGINAL TRACKLIST
1. Immanent Putrescence 1:52
Fragments of who I was are now exposed before me
Offering decay
Offering defeat
To return to the grave, to return as a slave
Mangled in the likeness
Of self inflicted crisis
Feeding on the righteous
Spreading like a virus
Obstruction of progression
Festering on the soul
Consuming acquisition
Loss of all control
Fragments of who I was are no exposed before me
I will not decay
Never suffer defeat
Ripped, torn discrete
Buried six feet deep

2. Within The Confines Of Mortiferous Lamentation 2:16
Maybe you can hear the screaming
The screams of self punishment
The hollow cries from this repetitive condition
Maybe you can see the way
The way their actions became their fall
And took its tool upon the innocent
Maybe you can say
Say this life was more than cheap imitation
Rubble from a tower that once stood tall
Lie in wait for the hands of its builder
Restoration is the name I scream
Hindering the darkness at bay
I wait patiently for this revival call
To diminish the statues made in my name

3. Carve Away 2:22
"God my God, why have you forsaken me?
Far from my deliverance and the words of my groaning"
Empower me
Rip the impurities from my heart
I'm listening to the songs you sing over me
Mighty you are, shaker of the earth
Conduct us in your ways
Define us by your truth
Who shall call upon your name
Who shall see redemption this day
The path I chose was of faith and victory

4. The Exalted 2:30
Power uncontained
Presence absolute
Bringer of true justice
Whose name is rebirth
Rejecter of the grave
His mouth speaks truth
He shapes the mountains and directs the winds
From the dawning of time
He always was
Author of light
Brining forth existence
Fortress of excellence
Dwelling among men
Creating with his might
Destroying with his will
Just and rightfully so
His love is boundless
His existence is eternal

5. Posthumous Transfiguration 3:06
Blood and sweat drip down
Battered and bruised tissue swelling
Skin hanging in strips
Scalp pierced with thorns
Weary and worn
Crushing weight upon him
Trail of blood leads to the site
Arms stretched out as nails enter his wrists
Binding him to wood
Ghastly form of execution
Last gasp unto deliverance
The gift for all to receive
We are all bought by blood
Who will accept the eternal?

6. Deathcrusher 3:19
Behold the Deathcrusher
The armageddon
The apocalypse
The crown is upon his head
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet, all will confess
Human hands cannot corrupt
Human tongues cannot defile
In his midst, nothing is hidden
His existence covers the lands
His voice reaches the depths
The crown is upon his head
And the keys are in his hand
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet all will bow
At his feet all will confess
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD

Lord, You are the light
Move me through this world
Lift my spirit

Satan has no place here
I will overcome

3. Saul I Am 1:29
Saul I am
A mere reflection of the man
Of the man I've become

4. Iniquitous Decimation 2:05
Comprehension fades

In a Godless age
Clinging to a fallen nation
Rape, murder, genocide

Bloodbath from every side

At the mouth of the tomb
Come forth tribulation

"My eyes are open, I see the end.
The end of the world welcomes us home.
Home in the Kingdom or death in Hell."

6. The Killer In Me 2:20
How do You see me through Your eyes
Are You ashamed of me
They say You suffered on the cross
And paid my penalty
Circumstances, second chances
I live my life on repeat
If You're the God that they say You are
Can Your hand reach me?
In a time of my emptiness
Through the faults of my wickedness
For the lack of my gratefulness
Can You make it stop
I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses, with a heart so black
Was the weeping and the grieving
Intended for me
I am a killer of the innocent
A growing plague, a pestilence
I am the thorn that chokes the seed
The spiteful crown that made You bleed
When the ground consumes this waste
Remember me in the holy place
I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses, with a heart so black

7. Rise From Hell 3:04
Jesus, come back
Take me from this place

8. Deadland 3:25
And so here I am on this journey
My mind contorted with corruption
Feeble and frustrated with my failures
Give me strength, O Lord
Why do I continue driving in the nails
When I know You feel the pain
Give me strength, O Lord

9. The Omen King 1:45
(Instrumental)

10. Vital Extrication 3:08
Move through the day
You're worth everything
Everything to Him
Look the world in the eyes
No turning back
No going back
Holy is the Lamb
Giver of new life
Secured in
The blood of Christ
Submit this dead flesh
Release all control
Made right in
His sight
All will be made new
Your past will haunt you
He will protect you
The world's falling apart around you
But you have the strength
It surrounds you
Your past will haunt you
He will protect you
Your past
(Past) will haunt you
He will
(Will) protect you
Move through the day
You're worth everything
Everything to Him
Look the world in the eyes
No turning back
No going back
Holy is the Lamb
Giver of new life
Secured in
The blood of Christ
Submit this dead flesh
Release all control
Made right in
His sight
All will be made new
You're not the same as yesterday

Violence (single)

August 26, 2014, Rottweiler Records (Digital)
June 29, 2023, Independent (Digital)

1. Violence 3:33
Violence
Another way to hate
Another way to kill

We don't see eye to eye
We don't think the same
And I'll watch my back
From the ones that feed on life
So eager to strike you down
Wanting you to feel the pain
I can't believe we breathe the same air
So eager to strike you down
Wanting you to feel the pain
I can't believe we breathe the same air
God help me contain this rage
God help me contain this rage

You're rotting away
Get on your feet

How does it feel to rob such virtue
Does it make you feel
Larger than yourself
Trying to take our
Enduring hope
And now you're rotting away
Embrace the Love within
There is still time for you
There is still time

Violence




Abhorrent Postmortal Vicissity (EP)

September 3, 2015, Independent (Digital)
September 13, 2015, Sevared Records (CD)
September 13, 2015, Independent (Digital)
May 14, 2019, Chugcore (CD, Digital)
???, Justified Insanity Records (CD, Digital)

I'm gonna assume that the Justified Insanity release came out sometime after the Chugcore release.  The jewel case is laid out the same way as Chugcore, since both labels work together on some certain releases; so who knows how close they were.

1. Repulsive Virulent Dissemination 3:37
Awaken to this dismay
This is your serenity now
An ill-chosen fate
You've peeled your face away
Wishing to remember
What it looked like
No longer recognizing
Forever agonizing
Repetitive infectious disease
Such a cruel attachment
Pain is all you will know
Hammered down
You kill yourself again
It has taken your soul once more
Incisions, scars and scabs
Nostalgic recollections
Of a life once dead
How impartial
Adoring relics of the damned
Addictive pain
Feeding on infected flesh
Your personal tragedy
Relived each day
Made disposable
Foreshadowing the same results
You've shattered the mirror
Bleeding you pieced it together
But it's not the same
Then again, it never is
Can you reach again
Will your perspective change
And see the New Dawn
Fountains of life
Drained from thy flesh
All can drink
Those who crave
Despair forsaken
Conceived once more
In the wake from ridden tombs

2. Interminable Enslavement 2:29
Staring at these ceiling tiles
"Oh God make it stop"
This syringe a foreign affliction
Machines of detection
Repeating observations
Mind prison, life ridden
Where is my comfort found?
Grave bound in pale worship
An end stapled in sight
But time revealed, through trials healed
The glory of Your saving light
Misery calling false fate
Awakened in deception
Watching it all fall apart
Fixed on this condition
I'm giving up, I gave it up
Where is my comfort found?
Grave bound in pale worship
An end stapled in sight
But time revealed, through trials healed
The glory of Your saving light
There's no escape from myself
Within this hell I have made
Assumptions and conclusions
Led to atrocious awakenings
Misery calling false fate
Awakened in deception
Watching it all fall apart
Fixed on this condition
I'm giving up, I gave it up
Where is my comfort found?

3. Parallels Of Poignant Entropy 3:19
Blessings in ruin
All I do is count
Only to find myself in shards of disgust
The sorrow cannot cut any deeper
The wounds could not heal any slower
Self inflicted or cursed from above
Questions cannot answer themselves
The meaning in patience
Am I willing to seek
These perceptions
Twisted into a false reality
To be attached is to be
Anxiously torn apart
A part of me is forgotten
As my trust quickly erodes
Into the comfort
Of silence once more
Feeble words fall from my lips
Reflections of my Savior
Covered in the dust
Of my tribulation
How far must I reach
To be in Your arms again
A pain unending, manifested inside
Serenity, this cold darkness
Time wastes away
Burying another part of me
Infectiously buried beneath
In shallow darkness, I hear Your voice
Beyond the dirt, "No son forgotten"
How I wait for seas to calm, stability
Can I wait for You to come, humility

4. Perpetual Repudiation 2:53
Relentless, the fury wages on
Content to bring forth your demise
I will watch you suffer
Beneath the weight of my heel
Before my throne, the weak shall kneel
Timid you are, lost in all the pity
So helpless, pinned down
You will not escape my force
Where shall you run
Mentally deranged
All shelter lost
Only misery
Falling further down
The truth cannot be seen
Dissecting everything you are
I will expose the beast beneath
Wasted tears, a hollow soul
Your hate will be my triumph
Your loss will be my victory
Stripped from your hands
Can't you see, my presence unending
Inseparable from brith
Your disease, your rage
Forbidden by my grasp
The truth you shall not see
Feeble faith and numbered days
Determined, your death in vain
Contamination of yourself
Embedded deep inside
I am your reflection
The wretched voice within
The opposition of yourself
Falling further down
You will never see
The day our faces meet

5. Disembodied 4:23
Infecting the beauty
Distorting the image
A hollow vessel remains
My hands harvest destruction
While the heart longs for release
Memories resurrect
Exposing my filth
Cannot escape
How much of me holds value
Does the heart birth any flame
Feeling like a curse
Rooted within
As my humanity fades away
Grant me release
To conceal this infection
The infliction upon myself
To bring forth the change
My heart desires
Showing what I am worth
Will you give me the knife
To cut this part away
Soulless I have become
Entertaining demons of my own
The pinnacle of my faith
Residing in my maker's hands
Can I trust You unto completion
To finish the work within me
My hands harvest destruction
While the heart longs for release
Memories resurrect
Exposing my filth
Cannot escape
How much of me holds value
Does the heart birth any flame
Feeling like a curse
Rooted within
As my humanity fades away
Grant me release
To conceal this infection




Gravecharmer (single, October 30, 2015, Independent) (Digital)

1. Gravecharmer 3:03
Strangulation, gasping with my hands
Choking from my grip
I see only death
Merciless retaliation
Brute force applied
The life that I have crushed
Within restoration
A failure before you
Forgiven in your sight
Unworthy of the blood
Draped over flesh
Cleansed from eternal infection
Decrepit flesh erodes
A murderer of myself
This slow torturous death
Revived in the absolute
I see this life fulfilled
Released from morbidity
I shall now remain
Nameless and faceless
Contorted from myself
Your identity is forever sealed within

Infectious Womb (single, January 5, 2017, Independent) (Digital)

1. Infectious Womb 2:54
Given over unto death
Life shall have its way
Infectious state of stillness
Birthing life into this glory
Nourished in darkness
Waiting for the light
Shrouded eyes and pain untold
Death shall bring true life
In the womb of death
All to be revealed
In the womb of death
Our fate's forever sealed
Conceived into existence
The thin line of red
No choice against resistance
The condition unto death
As mortal shells divide
And spread across the earth
Time refuses not
To wait upon the Birth




Shadowed By Light (single, January 28, 2017, Independent) (Digital)

1. Shadowed By Light 3:58
And I shall seek Your face
In depths of agony
Your grace falls upon me
Rendered by the might of Your hand
You will sustain me
Who am I?
To earn how You define me
Who am I?
To return to what is dead
Awakened
From the blinding torture
No longer ripped from You
You shall dwell in me
As it was meant to be
Forgive me of my absence
Attempts to justify
My own condemnation
You come to purify
Inhabit me, oh Lord
Rid me of the filth
That hides You from my sight
Make Your peace within me
Forever to be shadowed
Shadowed by Your light

1. Infectious Womb 2:52
Given over unto death
Life shall have its way
Infectious state of stillness
Birthing life into this glory
Nourished in darkness
Waiting for the light
Shrouded eyes and pain untold
Death shall bring true life
In the womb of death
All to be revealed
In the womb of death
Our fate's forever sealed
Conceived into existence
The thin line of red
No choice against resistance
The condition unto death
As mortal shells divide
And spread across the earth
Time refuses not
To wait upon the Birth

2. Gouged Out 2:40
Trapped within Your eyes
Between fear and shame
This part of me
Hid in my apathy
Transmission lost
As vile thoughts consume me
These binding scales
And grace You've given clearly
What more than to acquire
When I have nothing left
Barrier of disgust
And a hatred sealed within
Provoking thoughts
Bind me to myself
Dismantled, withered
In contrast to Your mercy
Show me how to love
Into the images of Your making
Show me how to die
Receiving in Your taking
Creation will groan
Anticipating this new reign
Through afflicting deception

3. Choked 1:27
Sowing the seeds of wrath
How these words devour
Some shall grow
Some will be choked
Rip our cursed selves
From the hold of thorny tongues
Devouring words
From repulsive throats
The stench of the decomposed
Lingering unto infection
Forgiveness shows too pale
And the sun goes down upon me
Another knife to bury
Another tomb to fill

4. Shadowed By Light 3:57
And I shall seek Your face
In depths of agony
Your grace falls upon me
Rendered by the might of Your hand
You will sustain me
Who am I?
To earn how You define me
Who am I?
To return to what is dead
Awakened
From the blinding torture
No longer ripped from You
You shall dwell in me
As it was meant to be
Forgive me of my absence
Attempts to justify
My own condemnation
You come to purify
Inhabit me, oh Lord
Rid me of the filth
That hides You from my sight
Make Your peace within me
Forever to be shadowed
Shadowed by Your light

5. Echoes Of Atrocity 2:29
How much longer until I see the end
For I know my days are numbered
Mind runs astray
Contaminating the peace within me
What means of solace
What means of escape
When I curse and cry out Your name
I see myself upon a cross a shame
Condemning all of my infectious acts
More like Your son, more like myself
A cruel balance lies upon me
The crushing weight of atrocity
Make swift Your hand
To cover all the shame of what I cannot be

6. Impenetrable Darkness 3:17
What is the meaning of life
Our purpose here
While idly I roam about the earth
Seeking, searching
Answers escape me
As soon as I can almost taste it
It slips away again
Defeat swallows me whole
Consuming me in impenetrable darkness
Is this all there is
How forever lost
Taking any sense of purpose with it
Days, hours, seconds pass
Hearing each tick of the clock
I waste away

7. The Ghost 4:39
Once here, only a breath
Vaporized into the unknown
Like a whisper, quiet enough to forget
To remind you why I am there
Like a fraction of the pain unseen
Soon a memory, later to forget
But a chill will call you back
Swift like time, I pass on through
You read right through me
As a message in the sand
Covered over by the oncoming wind
Time will heal and time will forget
You call unto me and dance with death
Like hands so frail bound by what is seen
Whisper my name, remember me

8. Separatist 2:08

Drowning Beneath (single, June 14, 2017, Independent) (Digital)

1. Drowning Beneath 2:27
Ashes of mortal remnants
Withered into dust
The plague of humanity
Drowning beneath the flood
Bound by promise
Afflicted by consequence
To seek a new dawn
From the ruins of ridden mortality
What will we seek
That needs to be found
How can we breathe
When we deserve to drown
The great collapse of all we are
Justfully submitted into the hands of brokenness
Tears forever released into the flood
Delivering us from this wretched drought
All I am, all I was
Drowning beneath the flood

1. Premonitions Of The Infected 3:05
Reaching for the other side from this darker side of faith
Losing myself to remain once more
My spirit starves
With every ounce I fade away
Denying the solace of your hands
Screaming and clawing
This dirt beneath my nails
I want to hear your songs again
Singing over me
How devious, the all consuming fear
Igniting the enemy of myself
I felt it all
I lost it all
To think I've known the pain
To think I've known the fear
When your shoulders have felt it all
Though I pull at the mask that hides my shame
I shall not lose your name

2. Drowning Beneath 2:27
Ashes of mortal remnants
Withered into dust
The plague of humanity
Drowning beneath the flood
Bound by promise
Afflicted by consequence
To seek a new dawn
From the ruins of ridden mortality
What will we seek
That needs to be found
How can we breathe
When we deserve to drown
The great collapse of all we are
Justfully submitted into the hands of brokenness
Tears forever released into the flood
Delivering us from this wretched drought
All I am, all I was
Drowning beneath the flood

3. The Longest Thorn 3:29
Carnal vision manifested in my eyes
Too long I've spent in years of regret
To uphold sight of blissful beauty
Redirecting malicious intent
Repeating days of dreadful memories
Consuming every ounce of life
To rob the inglorious splendor
Only to long for in despise
Wisdom too great for this social state
Power destined from beyond
External observation
Mental disintegration
The chaos breeds within
Taking my time
Wasting my time
A hate years so divine
Ripped apart and burned away

4. Violence 3:34
Violence
Another way to hate
Another way to kill

We don't see eye to eye
We don't think the same
And I'll watch my back
From the ones that feed on life
So eager to strike you down
Wanting you to feel the pain
I can't believe we breathe the same air
So eager to strike you down
Wanting you to feel the pain
I can't believe we breathe the same air
God help me contain this rage
God help me contain this rage

You're rotting away
Get on your feet

How does it feel to rob such virtue
Does it make you feel
Larger than yourself
Trying to take our
Enduring hope
And now you're rotting away
Embrace the Love within
There is still time for you
There is still time

Violence

5. Caverns 2:37
I have fallen away from your light
Spiraling into a cycle of disgust
My grave waits on a cold soul
Deprived of your divine breath
The slow process of suffocation
The nourishment of your being
I cannot live without
I feel it lingering
I won't go back
To the life you called me from
Dismantle the storm within
To see your path
Carved in me
Hollow places
Left unseen
Hidden spaces
Carved mountains into my soul
The hollow places where I choose to hide
Coldness of caverns unseen
Hidden spaces of glooming light

6. Avulsion 1:04
(Instrumental)

7. Deathcrusher 2:32
Behold the Deathcrusher
The armageddon
The apocalypse
The crown is upon his head
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet, all will confess
Human hands cannot corrupt
Human tongues cannot defile
In his midst, nothing is hidden
His existence covers the lands
His voice reaches the depths
The crown is upon his head
And the keys are in his hand
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet all will bow
At his feet all will confess
Jesus Christ is king

8. Descending Upon The Deceased 3:07
The dirt up to my eyes
Lungs about to collapse
Skin begins to break
Embedded in the earth
Time could never heal
The wounds inflicted deep
Years of abuse
Quietly self-induced
Life portrays a silence
A calm wind of sorts
Pale faces pass
In this quiet hell found cold
Years of abuse
Bound my thoughts
The memories of old
One with myself
Frail and damned within
Enthroned in silence
Split down the middle
Beneath your gaping flesh
Broken over me

1. Too Late 1:46
Not as hollow as the ones before me
Not as heartless as a vacant tomb
This burden shapes like a trial of fire
A guaranteed nail in my coffin lid
I'll be the one to refute your claims
See I'm bound by the time I own
Not burned by an empty grave

2. Escape Route 3:03
Conflicting afflictions
Tear away the fibers of sanity
I hate, I fall, I walk away
From the filth that you spew
Decorate my temple
With the arrows from your tongue
Swallowing hate, bidding my time
For an open door apart from you
Your cynical motives
Testing morality
And I'll prove I'm more
Than the kings you emulate

3. Lock Up 3:57
Awakening
The call upon my life
To chase what seldom comes
Determination
Hides no longer
No need for reservations
This oath bore silence in a cold heart
This rain falls heavy on paper thin trust
Against the wall
Against my will
The prophets weep once more
Calloused hands
To hammer in the nails
Of my conflicted past
Left to ponder
Buried by time
The final curtain call
Resurrection

4. Gun To Your Head 2:53
How can you reason
You're buried to the neck
How can you shelter
All that you have lost
This is the vow
Long forgotten
This the oath
Sinking into black revenge
How can you speak
Words that ring untrue
How can you move
When you've tied yourself down
How can you speak
With a gun to your head
Unbound, count the cost
Resist, the voice of the lost

5. Break My Silence 4:05
As a dagger
My words divide
Cutting away
The subtle peace
Reflecting poorly
Feelings barred inside
Mistranslation
Representing a false notion
Shaming my face before thee
Forget my words
Curse myself
From your presence
Away into isolation
A space I know too well

6. Fleeting 4:21
Some things change
Unearthing drastic conclusions
Others remain
Embedded in our nature
Forced smiles, fake intentions
For those that share our blood
We cannot live
Beyond this impression
Lest we deceive those most loyal
Each season passes
Revealing the wrath of time
Upon the faces we swore to love

The Dead Will Never Forgive Us (EP)

September 4, 2020, Independent (Digital)
September 4, 2020, Caustic Hymn Productions (Digital)
May 11, 2021, Realityfade (Digital)

1. Abandoned Homes 2:14
We've left this decadence.
As it was in the utmost form.
Bracing the rising floods ahead.
Nothing can be taken with us.
All that we treasured.
All that we idolized.
Swallowed up in catastrophe.
Abandoned homes.
Abandoned homes.
This life is not my own.
Abandoned homes.
Abandoned homes.
This life is not my own.

2. Creation Weeps 3:12
We are a part of a cursed generation.
Our hearts are empty along with our dignity.
Each day bracing for the worst.
Each day a new tragedy emerges.
How do we process these fearful times?
Where do we find our integrity to stand firm in raging seas?
Compelled to surrender unto hardship.
We stand divided once more.
Shaped by the voices of others.
Forsaken by our families.
Our trust betrayed.
Tell me there's something more.
Tell me that we're more than this.
Buried in isolation.
Why did I sever my ties?
Content with self reflection.

3. Subsequent Abuse 3:04
Justifying actions with weak excuses.
Dependent on substance to ensure a peace of mind.
Another broken home.
Torn away from those you love.
Sheltered in the games you play.
Sheltered in the lies you speak.
A victim of yourself.
To yourself.
By yourself.
Giving into the desires that deepen the grave you made.
No need in cradling this hate.
Self destruction is no outlet.
Don't let your life be carried away by regrets of the past.

4. Dragged Through The Mud 3:32
Faces of the past drift away.
Moments in solitude have given me rest.
Time to dwell on what matters most.
To seek out my true self.
I've studied my beliefs and dragged them through the mud.
I've looked at what's left.
What has truly remained.
There's only one voice to shape my mind.
Only one path that leads to the grave.
Dead to my past.
Stripping it away.
I've studied my beliefs and dragged them through the mud.
I've looked at what's left.
What has truly remained.

5. Torment Defined 3:10
You're defining torment.
Seeking within yourself.
Defying limitations of an easy way out.
The pain has found you.
And you dare to defile it.
You welcome all adversity.
We're defining torment.
Defying limitations of an easy way out.
The unchanging hour will try to break us.
We will defile it.
This is our war.
The unending torture.
It sharpens us into weapons of slaughter.
Defining torment.
Defining torment.
We are torment defined.

6. Of Subtle And Savage Rage 3:16
Crawl through with fear or die out with faith.
We are one and the same.
Divided by consequence.
Estranged from the start.
Defined by our traditions.
Hollowed by our past.
Calculated by time.
Content with neutrality.
Begging the past to keep us sheltered in the misery of an unchanging mind.
Upholding our dead victories.
Singing the same songs of our fractured history.
Yesterday is buried.
Dead with the past.
Dead with the past.

7. Judgement Day 3:46
The call reigns down upon you.
The stage has been set for complete catastrophe.
Lying words and poisoned works.
It's time to uphold the truth.
There is not one righteous.
So don't try to pretend.
It's time to answer for the world we killed.
Judgement day.
I hear it calling from behind.
Judgement day.
The earth demands its response.
Judgement day.
Seeking truth in the words you speak.
Judgement day.
This is our judgement day.

8. The Line Seldom Crossed 3:38
Do you dare make the choice or be silenced without a voice?
Can you see past your broken self to pursue a strength beyond?
You've severed yourself from possibility and regret the decisions you made.
Victimized by the weight of guilt and fear with share in shame.
Close the book of chapters now dead.
Rewrite yourself into a new narrative.
Time will not decide.
It only remains.
Cross the line.
Move past the shame.
Cross the line.
Will you cross the line?




Enfleshed (single, August 26, 2021, Independent) (Digital)

1. Enfleshed 3:42
Cut my skin just to watch me bleed
Curse my name with the lips of greed
Hatred breeds in these hands of hate
Visions bleak from this mind in a cage

Enfleshed
Enflesh these bones with a life that's new
Reject
The hatred that I've been through

Life is cold
Alone in isolation
Breaking stones
Shatter my existence

I am
Enfleshed

No longer in this lifeless state
Suffocating in my sorrows
No longer in this lifeless state
Suffocating

Cut my skin just to watch me bleed
Curse my name with the lips of greed
Hatred breeds in these hands of hate
Visions bleak from this mind in a cage

1. Realm Of Contorted Perceptions 4:18
Reality lies to me.
This life suspended in a realm I can't perceive.
To see you lie quietly.
Are you in peace or pain?
What I would give to take you from this state.
What I would give to take you.
My mortality, a sanded slate, my own existence.
Stripped bare before you, if only you could see.
If only you could hear.
Gone in an instant, those words left unsaid.
Unstitching the fabric of self.
Am I sufficient?
Was I enough?
To echo in your life, beyond this coil of fragility.

2. In The Absence Of Time 3:21
As life drains from you, so it does in me.
Beyond buried, these questions left unanswered.
Cradled in the moat, all has fallen away.
Substances give and take.
Desires unfulfilled.
Sheltered in apathy.
Cries into the black as another night passes over me.
I'm beyond.
Beyond all reason in the absence of time.
Your arrival lit this darkened path.
I embrace the mountain, show your crushing weight.
For I am not shattered, I am one with the wake.

3. Endlessly Carving 3:00
A mortal anguish, I can't comprehend.
The blade that cuts my flesh, birthing visions of apprehension.
Casting me into darkness.
Till this day, endless carving.
Sinking deeper, embedded in this shell.
The scars you left me, dormant they dwell.
This moment, foreboding.
Two months spent in hell.
Once a child, caged in solitude from the torment, inflicted abuse.
Till this day, endlessly carving.
The scars you left me, dormant they dwell.
Unending screams through red painted bright.
This pain now inflicted, unholy night.
Cast your darkness upon me, cast your hatred into me.

4. Throes Of Depravation 3:14
This life is a callous, I now strip away.
The unending judgment, this hypocrisy.
Knowing my place amongst the vile.
All voices opposed, no space for denial.
Critically expanding, infectious perceptions.
Show me new life, a path to conception.
I am who I am, a name for myself.
I am who I am, I know what I felt.
This burden I carry, on shoulders uphill.
Come heaven, come hell.
New life now instilled.
The weight of the loss, I now bear the cost.
Belonging to self, alone at the cross.
Critically expanding, infectious perceptions.
Show me new life, a path to conception.
I am who I am, a name for myself.
I am who I am, I know what I felt.

5. Chambered In Unearthly Decay 3:51
Life plays out before me, as order turns to chaos.
A broken home divided within me.
Unearthing the tragedies of reality's vengeance.
Left me deprived, the unbearable separation.
Suicide stole you and left this hole in me.
Suicide stole you, oh God please hear my plea.
I'm stripped of solace.
In the shell you dwell you.
Hardly a shelter, choking on existence.
But I am a tree.
These streams that flow around me.
My leaves won't wither, for I too shall prosper.

6. Into Hell, Into Shadows 3:46
Wilting away, this curse in time.
Decisions once made, now shaped by regret.
Crumbling before me, all I proposed.
This life as a gift, now tarnished away.
The seeds of hope, once planted beneath.
Fixed with intent, sprouting this guilt.
Solitude, this isolation.
Alone with my doubts, alienation.
Throwing me into hell, throwing me into shadows.
All that has died, the past only lies.
And time only binds these bruises inside.
The cadence secured, I see clearly now.
Forward and away from what I once was.

7. Esoteric Mutilation 2:55
This is suffering.
The loss now defined.
My faith has faltered clinging to this life.
All that's in vain, just a fleeting thought.
Solitude and sorrow in this heartless decay.
Mutilating flesh, the disruptor to myself.
Cognitive collapse.
Embracing the depression.
There's nothing left to bleed as I stare into the abyss.
Hopelessly enraged.
Isolation, all I know.
Tonight I make this call.
From feeble lips, this desperation.
One voice is all I need.

8. Maze Of Detestable Afflictions 2:55
The blackness of earth.
Keeper of the damned.
Defiled within me, nothing but a curse.
Abandonment, a name for myself.
Sexual abuse.
Wipe me from existence.
Innocence ripped away, my eyes have seen.
Innocence ripped away, there's nowhere to flee.
Torment plagues the ones I love.
Delivered into a heartless world, my soul a tattered veil.
The fine art of manipulation.
Violence all I know in this age of vile repulsion.
This blackened hatred burrowed into my soul.
No longer your reject, no longer victimized.
Brutality reigns supreme, now watch me dominate.
Innocence ripped away, my eyes have seen.
Innocence ripped away, there's nowhere to flee.
