First Offering (demo)

June 23, 2007, Independent (Digital)

2007, Independent (CD-R)

There are actually three different cover art designs for this release. The top artwork displays the PARENTAL ADVISORY label on it, even though there are no explicit lyrics. Can anyone explain this?

1. Shadows 1:21

That night you entered my home,

Took my baby girl,

She was so beautiful,

We said good-night for the last time.

You took her somewhere cold and dark,

I doubt she cried...

She was strong that way.

She probably held your hand,

She was sweet that way,

She would have painted you a picture,

She was kind that way.

You stole her first kiss,

Her first intimate moment,

Along with her last breath.

I cannot find remorse.

I should forgive;

But I cannot.

I should not hunt you;

But I will.

I should not bleed you slowly;

But I will.

2. Flatline 2:43

Even though he took his own life,

I know why he blamed himself,

His spirit was already severed;

Murder!

Our children played together for hours,

As we complained about the world closing in;

Suffocating

In the end,

Day sent black balloons to heaven.

I wonder if they ever made it.

Fading.

Sometimes it feels like prayers turn to ice,

Then fall back to earth and shatter.

House of a Thousand Corpses;

Scapegoat

After he died,

Everyone had stories.

Stories of how much they loved him,

How they were his best friends.

Where were they when he was in need;

...Abandoned.

We are all guilty.

Corey said it best,

"I haven't slept since I woke up and found my own life was a lie."

Everything ends.

3. Wickedness 1:34

Self-hatred.

Broken.

Falling short.

Dying inside.

You need not search my heart...

You know my thoughts.

Set me free,

Cleanse me from this blasphemy.

4. Spit 0:33

I spit on you,

You kept walking...

I spit on you, I was not your friend.

I crushed the wind from your brittle chest;

You kept walking,

You just kept walking.

I spit on you, I was not your friend.

I scoffed while we bled your bones.

Forgive...

What's This (single, October 31, 2020, Independent) (Digital)

A cover of the song "What's This" from The Nightmare Before Christmas, originally written by Danny Elfman.

1. What's This 2:00

What's this? What's this?

There's color everywhere

What's this?

There's white things in the air

What's this? What's this?

I can't believe my eyes

I must be dreaming

Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair

What's this?

What's this? What's this?

There's something very wrong

What's this?

There's people singing songs

What's this?

The streets are lined with little creatures laughing

Everybody seems so happy

Have I possibly gone daffy?

What's this? What's this?

There's children throwing snowballs

Instead of throwing heads

They're busy building toys

And absolutely no one's dead

There's frost on every window

Oh, I can't believe my eyes

And in my bones I feel the warmth

That's coming from inside

Oh, look

What's this?

They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss

Why that loos so unique, inspired

They're gathering around to hear a story

Roasting chestnuts on a fire

What's this?

In here they've got a little tree, how queer

And who would ever think?

And why?

Covering with tiny things

Electric lights on strings

Correct me if I'm wrong

Could it be I got my wish?

What's this?

Oh my, what now?

The children are asleep

But look, there's nothing underneath

No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them or ensnare them

Only little cozy things, secure inside their dreamland

What's this?

The monsters are all missing

And the nightmares can't be found

And in their place there seems

To be good feeling all around

Instead of screams

I hear music in the air

Smell of cakes and pies

Absolutely everywhere

Sights, the sounds

They're everywhere around

Never felt this good before

Empty place inside has been filling up

Simply cannot get enough

I want it oh, I want it oh

I want it for my own

What is this place I have found?

What's this?

4. Riverbottom Nightmare Band 1:34

We want what we want, we do anything that we wish

We got no respect for animal, birdy or fish

The grass does not grow on the places where we stop and stand

Riverbottom Nightmare Band

We know we're a mess but I does not like to be clean

We don't bush our teeth 'cause our toothache can help us stay mean

We don't wish to learn but we hate what we don't understand

Riverbottom Nightmare Band

When you see us comin' you better startin' runnin'

We're always startin' trouble and we're happiest when things are outta hand

Rivers are for boilin', parties are for spoilin'

We either like to sit and pout or terrorize our land

Riverbottom Nightmare Band

We laugh in your face or we practice our growl and our sneer

We break up your place, we are dangerous when we are near

And when we are done with our song, who will get the biggest hand?

Riverbottom Nightmare Band!

Who?

Riverbottom Nightmare Band!

5. What's This 2:00

3. Lost And Found 1:47

Christ shares a tale with His disciples

Parable of two brothers explored

One who is young and other one old

Foolish son is insolent

Requesting inheritance

Tantamount to wishing dead

Father grants his son's request

Nameless Swineherd raising pigs

Squandering of everything

Extravagant spending, wasteful living

Famine strikes distant land

Envious of food that pigs were eating

Upon his return father rejoices

Celebration, slaughter the fatted calf

Older brother angered, not impressed

It was right that we should make merry

And be glad, for your brother was dead

And is alive again, and was lost and is found

Don't be dismayed

He is your God

He gives you strength

He is with you

Go on without fear

The Lord shall renew your strength

He who dwells within the secret place

Shall abide under the shadow of God

He was pierced for

Our transgressions

He was crushed for

September 15, 2023, Broken Curfew Records (Digital)

1. Lumberyard 2:40

With judgmental eyes we scrutinize

Our views are blinded by our pride

Ignoring flaws as we point our claws

Our words are sharp our tongues like knives

We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye

There's a lumberyard reaching the sky

Don't play the judge don't live a lie

Take the plank out of your eye

The weight of a sin a heavy plank

In our own eyes we're blind and fake

It's easy to judge and criticize

Take a look at ourselves we're flawed inside

Take the plank out of your eye

There's a lumberyard reaching the sky

Don't play the judge don't live a lie

Take the plank out of your eye

Screams of the damned scent of decay

Forced to confront sins of dismay

With judgmental eyes we scrutinize

Our views are blinded by our pride

Ignoring flaws as we point our claws

Our words are sharp our tongues like knives

We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye

There's a lumberyard reaching the sky

Don't play the judge don't live a lie

Take the plank out of your eye

A Path To Sorrow (single)

October 13, 2023, Rottweiler Records (Digital)

October 13, 2023, Broken Curfew Records (Digital)

1. A Path To Sorrow 3:52

You get one life or so they told me

So make it count and live it plenty

My soul was black

Dead and heavy

What have I done to me

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Grief grips me like fear

I'm not ashamed of tears

Falling on deaf ears

Love abandoned me

Heaven knows my shame

Will I sleep again

Even though I try

Pain becomes my friend

This path is the end

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

They will lie to you

They will defile you

They don't love you

They will blind you

Don't compromise your soul

I reconnected with my savior

Sucked out the poison repaired the suture

Got back on track a true survivor

Look what He did for me

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

1. Lumberyard 2:40

With judgmental eyes we scrutinize

Our views are blinded by our pride

Ignoring flaws as we point our claws

Our words are sharp our tongues like knives

We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye

There's a lumberyard reaching the sky

Don't play the judge don't live a lie

Take the plank out of your eye

The weight of a sin a heavy plank

In our own eyes we're blind and fake

It's easy to judge and criticize

Take a look at ourselves we're flawed inside

Take the plank out of your eye

There's a lumberyard reaching the sky

Don't play the judge don't live a lie

Take the plank out of your eye

Screams of the damned scent of decay

Forced to confront sins of dismay

With judgmental eyes we scrutinize

Our views are blinded by our pride

Ignoring flaws as we point our claws

Our words are sharp our tongues like knives

We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye

There's a lumberyard reaching the sky

Don't play the judge don't live a lie

Take the plank out of your eye

2. A Path To Sorrow 3:52

You get one life or so they told me

So make it count and live it plenty

My soul was black

Dead and heavy

What have I done to me

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Grief grips me like fear

I'm not ashamed of tears

Falling on deaf ears

Love abandoned me

Heaven knows my shame

Will I sleep again

Even though I try

Pain becomes my friend

This path is the end

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

They will lie to you

They will defile you

They don't love you

They will blind you

Don't compromise your soul

I reconnected with my savior

Sucked out the poison repaired the suture

Got back on track a true survivor

Look what He did for me

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Past present and the future

Colliding to betray your values

Beware temptation from the liar

He's laughing and warping your desires

Tears you shed continue falling

Leading your soul towards the fire

Make your choice it's your tomorrow

Taking that road is a path of sorrow

3. They Already Know 3:05

The message of the cross

We've all heard loud and clear

But actions speak louder than our words

We sit and spout our doctrine

Without showing our love and grace

But how will they know the truth

If we don't show them our Godly faith

They already know the story but they need to see the light

Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right

The Great Commission has to thrive

Through fire and flames we shall rise

Our souls ablaze we will revive our lives

We sit and spout our doctrine

Without showing our love and grace

But how will they know the truth

If we don't show them our Godly faith

They already know the story but they need to see the light

Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right

The Great Commission has to thrive

The message of the cross

We've all heard loud and clear

But actions speak louder than our words

We sit and spout our doctrine

Without showing our love and grace

But how will they know the truth

If we don't show them our Godly faith

They already know the story but they need to see the light

Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right

We sit and spout our doctrine

Without showing our love and grace

But how will they know the truth

If we don't show them our Godly faith

They already know the story but they need to see the light

Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right

The Great Commission has to thrive

4. Salvation Syndrome 2:21

Sheep in the flock seem so content

Live without fear never repent

Apathy complacency

No thought about those in need

Congregation servants of God

Have forgotten grace from above

Salvation Syndrome

No consequences

Loss of connection

Take for granted salvation

No thought of what they've become

Condemnation disguised as love

Judging others not from above

Salvation Syndrome

No consequences

Salvation Syndrome

Loss of connection

Life without fear

Short-sighted action

Time to adhere

Sanctification

Pick up your cross

Follow the savior

He died for you

Salvation was not for free

God instructed

Work out your own

Salvation through

Fear and trembling

5. Severed 3:47

Severed from salvation cast in the abyss

Lost soul in a world of pain and distress

The thief on the cross condemned to die

His fate seemed sealed no hope in sight

Will you remain severed

From the grace of God

Peter drew out his sword

Sliced a servant's ear

Christ reached out and healed

Power to mend the wounded

You might be severed from God

But your soul can still be saved

Will you remain severed

From the grace of God

With a hammer and chisel

God repairs the shattered soul

Like the thief on the cross cry out

For mercy

Will you remain severed

From the grace of God

Will you seek healing

For your severed soul

Severed from salvation cast in the abyss

Lost soul in a world of pain and distress

The thief on the cross condemned to die

His fate seemed sealed no hope in sight

Will you remain severed

From the grace of God

Peter drew out his sword

Sliced a servant's ear

Christ reached out and healed

Power to mend the wounded

You might be severed from God

But your soul can still be saved

Will you remain severed

From the grace of God

Will you seek healing

For your severed soul

6. Faith Delusion 2:41

Dismissing all the faithful

Atheists they say we're crazy

Claiming the belief in God

Is a form of mental confusion

Faith delusion

Brain contusion

Misguided conclusion

Completely insane illusion

Rejecting the evidence

Of a higher existence

You think that you are all wise

But you're blind

Faith delusion

Brain contusion

Misguided conclusion

Completely insane illusion

The world is much more than we see

We are more than biology

There's a greater purpose to life

And our faith is how we survive it

Faith delusion

Brain contusion

Misguided conclusion

Completely insane illusion

Faith delusion

Brain contusion

Misguided conclusion

Completely insane illusion

We are spiritual beings

Spiritual beings

Our faith sets us free

Dismissing all the faithful

Atheists they say we're crazy

Claiming the belief in God

Is a form of mental confusion

Faith delusion

Brain contusion

Misguided conclusion

Completely insane illusion

Faith delusion

Brain contusion

Misguided conclusion

Completely insane illusion

We are spiritual beings

Spiritual beings

Our faith sets us free

7. Spit Parade 3:09

Spit Parade mocking Christ

Thorns on head crucify

Screaming crowds laugh and jeer

Carries cross end is near

I spit on you I was not your friend

Your suffering a means to an end

I spit on you I was not your friend

You kept walking

I spit on you I was not your friend

Your suffering a means to an end

I spit on you I was not your friend

He was mocked and

He was broken

He paid the price

With his own life

Spit Parade mocking Christ

Thorns on head crucify

You kept walking

He was mocked and

He was broken and

He paid the price

With his own life

I spit on you I was not your friend

Your suffering a means to an end

I spit on you I was not your friend

Your suffering a means to an end

I spit on you I was not your friend

He was mocked and

He was broken

He paid the price

With his own life

Spit Parade mocking Christ

Thorns on head crucify

Screaming crowds laugh and jeer

Carries cross end is near

I spit on you I was not your friend

Your suffering a means to an end

I spit on you I was not your friend

You kept walking

I spit on you I was not your friend

Your suffering a means to an end

I spit on you I was not your friend

He was mocked and

He was broken

He paid the price

With his own life

He was mocked and

He was broken

He paid the price

With his own life

8. J.G.S.H. (Mortification cover) 1:27

Jesus grind Satan's head

Jesus grind Satan's head (JGSH)

His head is dead

Jesus grind Satan's head

Jesus grind Satan's head (JGSH)

His head is dead

9. Receive Him 1:49

Receive Him

Our father who art in heaven

Hallowed by thy name

Thy kingdom come thy will be done

On earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us

And lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever

Amen
