1. Breathing Murder (Living Sacrifice cover) (3:24)
Breathing murder upon the early church
Destruction, the new faith to hurt
Fueled by zeal, a twisted perception
Creating disorder, a morbid obsession
Profession of faith to persecute
From heaven a voice, journey refute
Falling to the ground
To arise without sight
Holy Spirit fill, falling scales from smite
Conspiracy to kill, voice of conversion
Speaking freely, a bold proclamation
Fueled by zeal, focused perception
Creating faith
Commanded To Kill (single, October 1, 2025, Independent) (Digital)
1. Commanded To Kill 3:28
Sons of war rise against all enemies
Stand in faith and receive the victory
Drive them back from the land of promise
Commanded to kill
Cut back the rivers water
His armies have arrived
Fear melts the hearts of kings
Walls must fall... conquer all
Cut 'em down, to the ground
The edge of my sword will find you
Every creature that has breath
Make sure, it's their last
Cut 'em down, to the ground
Eradicate the bloodline
Every creature that has breath
Make sure, it's their last
Breath!!!
Defilement, a blasphemy of bronze
The poison harvest is ripe for the reaping
Apex of sin is manifest
Newborns carved up to Moleck
Silence the sacrifice
Walls will fall... conquer all
On my command
The 7th time unleash your cry
When trumpets blast
Hurdle the walls
All must die
Burn the slaughtered
Trample the ash beneath
Wickedness will be purged
From the face of the earth
Curse the ruins
Never against shall rise
Never oppose
The one true God!!!
Brethren Of Blood (single, October 15, 2025, Independent) (Digital)
1. Brethren Of Blood 2:52
Suffer unto failure
Broke through the marrow
Flesh upon the pyre
Prides repudiation
Bite through your swollen tongue
Tasting the sorrow
Endure defensive wounds
Give thanks
For all
The pain
You face
They can't kill your soul
Death's door yields the eternal
So, fear no more
Strength in your weakness
Give it all
Faith with no regrets
Martyrdom
Brethren of blood
You can't escape it
The legacy of bloody is flowing
Unrivaled cruelty
Awaiting all who profess
Head down upon the cross
Refuse to die in likeness
Peeling your flesh from bone
Deny your Christ and end your anguish
Wrapped in the rotting skin
Crushed by the jaws of lions
The scourge will never end
I shall
Never
Recant
My Lord
Cries
Rise from the colosseum floor
"The destroyer of the gods"
Burns before you just like the ones before
It will take more than you can ever give
Overcomers rise in strength, face your death
Darkness Remains (album, October 31, 2025, Independent) (CD, Digital, 12" Vinyl)
1. Void With No Voice 4:32
You peer into darkness
Probing the cosmos to connect your heart
Put faith in the fringes
Transmissions of hope forever fail to return
Bite
The hand of creation
Be still and
Listen
The signal is silent
Void with no voice
Reaching, desperate to pull it down
Mysteries beyond your control
Bear it
Your efforts starve for contentment
Mission
To hope that an alien saviour comes to save your soul
You don't want the truth
You want to transcend and be amongst the stars
Resist opposition
With all of your knowledge paralyzed by lack of wisdom
Broken
Piece by piece re-assemble
Fiction
Reality bends through distortion from your fervid mind
Force it
Indoctrinate all your subjects
Searching
The endless pursuit of the phantom throughout the universe
2. Commanded To Kill 3:28
Sons of war rise against all enemies
Stand in faith and receive the victory
Drive them back from the land of promise
Commanded to kill
Cut back the rivers water
His armies have arrived
Fear melts the hearts of kings
Walls must fall... conquer all
Cut 'em down, to the ground
The edge of my sword will find you
Every creature that has breath
Make sure, it's their last
Cut 'em down, to the ground
Eradicate the bloodline
Every creature that has breath
Make sure, it's their last
Breath!!!
Defilement, a blasphemy of bronze
The poison harvest is ripe for the reaping
Apex of sin is manifest
Newborns carved up to Moleck
Silence the sacrifice
Walls will fall... conquer all
On my command
The 7th time unleash your cry
When trumpets blast
Hurdle the walls
All must die
Burn the slaughtered
Trample the ash beneath
Wickedness will be purged
From the face of the earth

4. Absent Souls 3:13
An open home
To an honored guest
Hallowed words swirl
As they break bread
Eyes lock
Perverse intention
Hunting begins as the night falls
Ohhhh!!!!!
Separated from the pack
The young
Defenseless innocence
Millstone many nooses
Deep waters are calling
Ohhhh!!!!! You are all witnesses
You stood aside
Protect deception to bury your crime
Are we absent souls?
Forfeit your heart, appease your mind
Are we absent souls?
Forsake the cross and awaken the dead inside
Ohhhh!!!!! You are all witnesses
You stood aside
Protect deception to bury your crime
Confronted on this
Your tithe go to buy her silence
Counterfeit repentance
It reads good on paper
Ohhhh!!!!! These four walls
Hold captive unspeakable secrets
If one falls they all fall
Time can't heal their transgressions
5. Whom Shall You Serve 3:13
I've heard it all before
Only ignorance relies on a god
It's just crutches for a simple man
An archaic existence
I'll wait for floods to come
Watch you drink in the river's blood
Pale faced and choking with fear
It's only when you're tested
Forced by the question
Whom shall you serve???
Sine deo
Sine spe
Worship flesh and bone
Here and now there is no more
Ohhh run the numbers one more time
Try prove to all the hoax of belief
With your mind evolved
You pit those
Who gave their life to serve
A mere superstition
I'll wait for tragedy
Your child dying
Fighting to breathe
With the last hope of life in her eyes
It's only when you're tested
Forced by the question
Whom shall you serve???
Sine deo
Sine spe
Worship flesh and bone
Here and now there is no more
This is the world you want?
Hopeless
All is hopeless
All is hopeless
End of life is at your door
Emaciated wisdom of men
Your last breath moments away
It's only when you're tested
Forced by the question
6. Inhumane World 2:49
Descending from the treeline
Rumors land your politicians here
Outsiders eyes to verify
Insights to insanity
A master class in mind control
Create enslaved utopia
None dare refuse the architect
Submissive rank and file
Another dose of thorazine will rip the fight out of their
Mind
They won't - endure - one more - defector
Revolutionary - suicide - in protest - of an inhumane world
Gather all who wish to flee
Embark on the jungle trek
Tension grips - truth made known
You lost control of it
With one way in and one way out
Cut 'em off with gunfire
Make sure you watch them die
Drowning in pools of blood
Cyanide syringes buried in the back of a screaming child
Them first - now you - drink up - my poison
7. Darkness Remains 3:30
Darkness remains
I can't pick up the pieces
I lost my sight that way
Pain breeds and its spawn now beg
I can't sever its control
It courses through my veins
Seeking my weakness and breaching my walls
Tonight, I fall
Waste your words
I'm deaf to any solutions
Sorrow has filled my eyes
My course is pain and I set sail
Silence remains
I can't confess my demons
Depravity saturates
Idle hands and idle minds
I wish I was a better man
If you knew what I've become
I have no place among you
I'll rid you of my burden
All purity possessed
No safety in numbers
Scorched earth
Can't hold its promise
All the good that I once was
The hope that I once had
Remember me then
Not what I've become
Not what I am
8. Avarice 2:56
Welcome to prosperity
All afflictions must bend the knee
Speak your truth into existence
You deserve it all
Walk with me into your blessing
I alone can see God's will
Moth and rust can't destroy this prophet
My beloved
Sickness is your sin
Divine wellness
With my gold-plated pace maker
This is how my god works
Offerings to release your healing
Let's measure your faith by the things you gain
'Cause you know that cash is king
My diamond rings
My breitlings
My gulfstream shining
Forty thousand feet
It's plain to see
My greed is thriving... oh yeah it's thriving!!
When the cripple cries for comfort
And the blind man beg to see
My anointed hands start shaking
It's my time to shine
Roll film 'cause you don't want to miss this
Pre-meditated miracles on cue
It's not about the give
It's all about the take
9. Fail You 3:01
Target the young
And prey upon their naivity
Trust in the authority
To lead them down the narrow path
The lights are low
Dulling vision amongst the haze
Smoke show manipulation
Conjure emotion
A thin line between that and the world
Nothing to separate
Fall in line with the simulation
Promising comfort
Is this what you seek?
Are you not entertained?
Disregard the inspired word
Only focus on how you feel
Leaders will fail you
Heroes will fail you
A showcase of parlor tricks
So gather round and be amazed
Puppet the spirit of God
In hopes to gain a viral clip
Chase the trend, exalt the flesh
Abandon all humility
No root amongst the thorns
One by one they fall
The adversary walks through doors wide open
Willing to participate in mocking your reverence
Wheat from the chaff
Witness the threshing
Many are called
Few are chosen
10. Wrath's Misery 4:26
Violence, violence, merciless violence
Remove the veil and unleash heaven's scorn
Bloodshed, bloodshed, bridledeep bloodshed
Trample the wicked, the winepress will flow
Woe labor pains strengthen
Woe to the childbearer, woe to her womb
This carnage no man has ever known
The earth will be shaken
All forces kneel awestruck with fear
The end unfolds on his command
Ohhh rocks will cry out
Mountains bow and lay their crown at his feet
Roaring of angels deafens disbelief
Mercy is balanced with wrath's misery
Woe to the rod of iron
Judgement the hand and vengeance the fist
Break the silence for such a time as this
Horrors, horrors, behold the horrors
Unlock the chains and watch demons lay siege
Torment, torment, reaping the torment
Burn from the swarms of the scorpion stings
Slaughter, slaughter, relentless slaughter
Millions of devils with powers to kill
Butchered, butchered, believers butchered
Prayers to avenge the blood of the saints
Ohhh rocks will cry out
Mountains bow and lay their crown at his feet
Roaring of angels deafens disbelief
Mercy is balanced with wrath's misery
Conquered, conquered, evil is conquered
Severed the head of the serpent of old
Triumph, triumph, glorious triumph
As was foretold, victorious king
Kingdom, kingdom, awaited kingdom
Eternal presence, his purpose complete
Worship, worship, unending worship
Angels and saints exalting the king
