June 23, 2019, Warriors Records, Eirene Records, Limited Edition, Remastered (CD)

1. Intro 1:26
2. Black Winds Of Death 5:47
Domination, destruction, extermination
The evil power
Invades with fury
The human heart

The darkness is coming
The legion of hate
Domains who doesn't know the truth

Black winds of death
Devastate your minds
Black winds of death
Devastate your soul

Bloody storm fire
The fire is over
That fight against
The divine truth

Are your eyes hurt
By the fire of hell
Blood, pain, against
Torments of soul
The suffering is in
The reign of shadows

3. Apostasy 3:00
Spreading love and peace
Bringing hate and destruction
With false promises
Hidden behind lies

The wait coming to the end
Dreams destroyed
From a goal not reached
The darkness

Pain, anguish, destruction
The darkness will come
And the light won't exist anymore
And everybody claim for salvation

The vermin will cover you
In the deepest precipice
The promise is broken
You failed, he's coming

4. Cruel Torment Of Soul 2:50
And you now
And now the light is off
And you are still
Alone in the dark

Screams of anguish are heard
In all instants feeling cry

Where are you
Do something, he hears your screaming
So why don't you respond
Do you think he with all this

You try to ignore
But there's no way to escape

Don't deny the truth
There's light
The end of the tunnel
Jesus Christ
And darkness around you
A narrow path to follow
And you now

5. Innocent Death 2:46
Anguish, despair
The death of the innocent
Without a choice life
Vastation of the misfortuned

One more violent act against
Who can do nothing
Do defends himself

A safe place becomes
The most dangerous
Drained blood of cruel act

Pulled up of the world
Tortured until the death
To hurt or to cure
To kill or to let live

Give value the life
You don't excuse them
To eliminate it

6. Intrauterine Murder 3:09
It's frightening the rate of victims
Of a pre-natal murderer
Clandestine clinics and physicians
Decide the beginning and the end of a life

Abortion, a world characterized by the immortality
Of people without any responsibility
The consequence of an irrational deed

Abortion, a cheating deed that promise
Relief and solution of a shameful act
But the truth is that it leaves sequels
And a silent cry, self-accusation

Abortion causes splinters that enters
The conscience threatening to do
Away with reason and the worth of life
Conscience, let's abort abortion

7. Funeral Of The Evil Forces 6:59
Satan is defeated
Like an infamous leprous
Cold and full of wounds
Into the ferocious blindness of death

The end of his
Dominion has come
As soon as it was established

The infernal sword destroyed
The profane amulet smashed
His cursed image
Awaits the flames of hell

Sacred words say through Holy Spirit
Be means of the faith in Jesus Christ
You defeated is proclaimed

Creator has rose up
In his hand, brings the justice
Your knees, are bow, I can hear
Your confession, feel the pain
And the fear that you've spread
To all without limits

This is the day
The occult is revealed
The bestial empire deposes
Every lie regurgitated

His dominion will be eternal
Will never be destroyed
For he must reign till hath
Put all enemies under his feet

Hearts of black mixed with dust

Mankind lowered into tombs of waste
Human presence taken and erased
Spirit released from the bondage of earth
Exit the grave

Awake...unearthed
Believing truth thought once absurd
Gripping death certainly deterred
Demolished strongholds lay in waste
Your weakening body submits to Christ
Unearthed...from the grave
Unearthed...with acceptance of Christ

Unblinded (single, July 22, 2021, Independent) (Digital)

1. Unblinded 3:28
Never care about what the Earth's echo chambers think
Just follow your heart and detach all of the strings
We live in a world of vultures and drones
A generation of monkeys with eyes glued to their phones
Vanity and lust infects the minds of the young
Satan laughs as the youth dance to his drum
So many lost souls that will never see the bigger picture
Because "science" knows best yea, yea science knows best, science must know all
Face down in the dirt convinced this is life
True beauty isn't always seen at first glance
True love isn't about how much you can gain
Detach all the strings that connect to the idea
We were not made beautiful and unique
We were all created to be so much more
It's never too late to take a look inside
Though your sin weighs heavy
On your heart and soul
There is undying forgiveness
Truth and redemption
Yea
We were not all created just to be the same
Complexly crafted, wonderfully made
So don't fall for the oppressor's game
Don't let the evils of this world control you
Don't fall for their petty lies
For all that is good I cry
See this world with unblinded eyes
See the world with unblinded eyes
See yourself with unblinded eyes
Detach the strings that bind
From loving who you are
Deep inside there is truth
Deep inside there is love




Fruits Of The Spirit (EP)

December 3, 2021, Independent (Digital)
December 3, 2021, Coleiosis Records (Digital)
February 3, 2022, Coleiosis Records (CD-R)

1. Godhead 3:19
There is no love greater than this
Forget your fears of changing your life
The temporary sin
Is no match for infinity
Mark my words
I fear no other
Mark my words
This evil will disintegrate before our feet
There is no other way
This is the creator of all life
That you look to with defiance
Yet you stand before your false gods
Blinded by the sins of man
I see no other Lord
There is no other Lord
With the armor of God
We stand unmoved by this world's wickedness
Fear no other than the wrath of God
Nothing will ever match this blissful love
So take a look inside the truth of this world
The living force that binds the fabrics of this energy hologram to life is the force you despise
Driven by greed and self indulgence
Obsessed with resentment you will fall before the truth
Pride will leave you nothing beyond your lonely eyes
So take your façade to its grave where it belongs
You have no excuses so stand up for love
The trinity is not a lie
This is the truth I speak
This is the good news
In truth we stand
With the armor of the Lord
Nothing can stop us
And we don't care if you don't like it

2. In Sleep 3:10
I close my eyes ready for the next day
Only to be bombarded by torturous nightmares
It feels like I'm dying
It feels like I have no one to call upon
My mind is left in a paradox as the world around me crumbles to dust
I become constricted by the seconds
And the seconds feel like hours
I've become constricted
My eyes only distract me
My mind only betrays me
I succumb to the scenario
Only to wake up in sweat
There is no peace where I have been sent
I have been trapped in sleep
It seems like every night my teeth fall out
It feels like every step I take is a step deeper into the void
A universe of uncertainty
I just want to wake up
From the loneliness I face
When I close my eyes at night
It feels like I've never been awake from the start
Is this what it's like to be without you
I pump the brakes but I only move faster
Before I meet my petty demise
Save me from this pain
Logic doesn't apply
Is this what it's like without you
I pump the brakes but I only move faster
Before I meet my petty demise
Save me from this pain
I couldn't do it without you
I have felt my biggest fear

3. Fruits Of The Spirit 4:28
There may be thousands of places I'll never be
But I'm blessed to have comfort where I eat
If there's one thing I can say about the world
It's that I'm blessed to be able to call this my home
Everything that I'm supposed to see is here
And I don't feel like I'm missing out
Everything they want me to see is here
I'm just happy to be here with my girl
And all the friends that I've made
And there's nothing anyone can do to take that away
We're aware of the possibilities and the outcomes
In faith we stand to the Lord we pray
Everything that you've given me
My friends and my family
It will never go unthanked
And never be forgotten
With all these fruits you bear
It proves to me that you are there
And for that
I will never be alone
Praise the Lord
Your brilliance and outward display
Are so much more than we deserve
A life with you has shown me how I'm supposed to live
The joy of being here can only be done through you
You cleanse me of my filthy past even though I fall short
Your love has taken me to where I never believed was possible
Through you I searched
And through you I have been found
My faith in you is unshakable
Everything that you've given me
My friends and my family
It will never go unthanked
And never be forgotten
With all these fruits you bear
It proves to me that you are there
Hallelujah, praise the Lord
You are everything to me
Hallelujah, praise the Lord

4. Beyond The Black Stump 4:07
I am the unclean
I am the impure
Oh Father cleanse me of my sin
Heal these wounds within my heart
Oh father cleanse me of my sin
Heal these wounds within my soul
I am the thief
I am the adulterer
I have lied
I am the sinner
My soul burns with affliction
What I carve is your undying love
As all wrongdoings of man
The past catches up with me
Oh Father I have fallen short
All that I have done wrong
Is a matter of objectivity
You see me with a broken heart
With all that I've done to destroy myself
Without you I could have never find my way
Without you I would never have seen this day
Your undying love fulfills me
Your undying love is all I need
To be a better man than I was before
To be a man that bears good fruit
I am the one who fell short
Yet I have been saved
I am the one who fell short
Yet I have been saved
You're all we have in this world of evil
We cannot save ourselves
The sacrifice you made for us
Is more than any person could ever deserve
I will not let this love be forgotten
Even if it's the last thing I ever do
I will fight for you, I will live for you
You've given me so many chances
I will do my best for you
Oh Father cleanse me of my sin
Heal these wounds within my heart
Oh father cleanse me of my sin
Heal these wounds within my soul
The creator has broken my chain
You have set me free
Alpha and Omega
Your love shines so bright
Your love shines so bright

5. Unblinded (EP Version) 3:31
Never care about what the Earth's echo chambers think
Just follow your heart and detach all of the strings
We live in a world of vultures and drones
A generation of monkeys with eyes glued to their phones
Vanity and lust infects the minds of the young
Satan laughs as the youth dance to his drum
So many lost souls that will never see the bigger picture
Because "science" knows best yea, yea science knows best, science must know all
Face down in the dirt convinced this is life
True beauty isn't always seen at first glance
True love isn't about how much you can gain
Detach all the strings that connect to the idea
We were not made beautiful and unique
We were all created to be so much more
It's never too late to take a look inside
Though your sin weighs heavy
On your heart and soul
There is undying forgiveness, truth and redemption

Complexly crafted, wonderfully made
So don't fall for the oppressor's game
Don't let the evils of this world control you
Don't fall for their petty lies
For all that is good I cry
See this world with unblinded eyes
See the world with unblinded eyes
See yourself with unblinded eyes
Detach the strings that bind
From loving who you are
Deep inside there is truth
Deep inside there is love

1. The Light 3:29
I see the brilliance of your creation
Inside and out
Like a pulse of life
Unlike any other
Embedded into my heart
This affliction has been placed in me
I am at the mercy of the truth
No matter how dark or deprived
I see the light
No matter how awful life can seem
I see the light
Pain can be like a black hole swallowing every ounce of security
But this light can show you the way out if you choose to never let go
It can be the most painful experience you've ever endured
We were designed to overcome
We're at the mercy of the illuminator
We're at the mercy of the truth
So hear my words
We will rise beyond our sin and the evil of this world
Evil holds no power against those who stand with the one who brings light to this world
Life to this world

2. The Heart's Ebb 3:41
Overcome the manipulation
Or it will bleed you dry
We are told of so many horrors
The currents seem so high
It's like any moment we will be submerged
Reaching for peace of mind
There are clearer waters
In these raging tides
There are clearer waters
Beyond the conflict and the doubt
May purity and peace of mind find their place
In our tainted souls
No matter the heart's ebb
The path to peace will remain

Blunt blowin', gun toting G from the south side
Blunt blowin', gun toting G from the south side
Blunt blowin', gun toting G from the south side
Please don't call my phone 'bout no beef 'cause we outside
Blunt blowin', gun toting G from the south side
Blunt blowin', gun toting G from the south side
Blunt blowin', gun toting G from the south side
Please don't call my phone 'bout no beef 'cause we outside
Play he lady
Got my chis like Frito Lay
If he got bread then she gonna lay
She don't play with him 'cause he don't play
Jumped in that water, swam with sharks
That boy not smart, he swam with NARCs
AR15 tear him apart
That boy on E-Bay missin' parts
He duckin' darts
Play he get rolled over
My chopper movin' so with the mob
They call me Cosa Nostra
Keep my peace with my piece
Ask God to forgive me 'cause I'm in these streets
I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Overcome the manipulation
We will not be bled dry
We will not cower in fear
For the truth is known

3. Separation 4:22
Left to the separation
A burning aftermath
Denial of the liberator
Denial of the one who gave us life
You starve
They will starve
The ones who claim to be the God will see
A burning aftermath
A hollow fate
Total separation
You get what you ask for
And your soul will see
You get what you ask for
And your soul will see
Separation
For eternity
Separation
For eternity
Separation
For eternity
We are not the self-created
So repent
Acknowledge the truth of life
This is the nature of our existence
So let the future reveal its ugly face
It will all be turned to ashes
There will be separation
And we will all see
Separation
For eternity
Separation
For eternity
Separation
For eternity
We are not the self-created, so repent

If we weren't loved
We wouldn't have the free will to choose
If we weren't loved
We wouldn't have the free will to choose
Don't follow your heart without a basis of understanding what we are
We are easily swayed by our sinful nature
So repent

4. Alone For One Day 3:31
Disgusting habits stick to the psychi
Half-conscious impulses of destruction
Pulsating through me in times alone
These mistakes affect me everywhere I go
I only escape for so long before I'm
Back in the web again
I'm going down
I'm going down again
I can't let this take over
As the lights go dim
How can you trust me
If I can't even trust myself
Alone for one day
My impurities linger
In the darkness of my mind
I wonder constantly
How many times have I fallen short
I make myself sick and I want out
I make myself sick and I want out
Have I been fooled
Or am I just like the rest of them
I am a hypocrite
I am a weak man
There is no joy in these habits of destruction
I am a hypocrite
I am a weak man
There is no turning back habits of destruction
Destruction
Sick
I've fallen to my knees begging for forgiveness
So many times
So many times
I only escape for so long before I'm
Back in the web again
I'm going down
I'm going down again
Lord set us free of this lust
Lord set us free of ourselves

5. The Warped 3:14
The madmen crave more and more
With every discovery
Haunted by the curse of time
Their mouths foam for more
Feeding the demons
With each part that dies
This is a shrine of evil

As they constantly push back the truth
Vessels of annihilation bring forth hatred and confusion
One of many tools to press on a worldwide agenda
Preaching inadequacy to the masses
Produce, upgrade, brainwash, control
Preaching inadequacy to the masses

Portals to lower dimensions accessed
A modern-day abomination
Flaunted through technology
As they dance to the sound of destruction
Their time is slipping away

Your success will not last for long
If it is ever truly reached

Free will many never die but this world will
Free will many never die but this world will burn

Skin and bone made of metal
Brains connected to computers
Produce, upgrade, brainwash, control
Free will given away

6. Through Uncertainty 3:17
I can't hide my heart from this world
Feelings so radiant
They can't be ignored
Sometimes I feel like some sort of abomination
I can't suppress myself
My feelings are strong
I get ahead of myself and can't explain
My brain gets tied in a knot sometimes
And I fail to communicate
It's like I'm stressed out by default
I can't shake my constant worries of the most trivial things
I'm free inside and out but I'm still myself
I am who I am
I don't hate me but it's tough
I don't want to be a burden
But sometimes that's just what I am
I love my life, Lord
But I'm so afraid of messing it all up
So push me off the edge
Into the world of my future
Push me off the edge into the world of my future
In times of uncertainty you keep me grounded
So I shout your name in praise
When I call upon you it is not in vain
These feelings I have are hard to explain
When I call upon you it is not in vain
These feelings I have are hard to explain
Yeah

7. Duped 4:08
The bridge has been built
For all of mankind
We honor him with praise
We are not alone

The turmoil we are subjected to in this day and age
We are at war with our own kind
And not with those who seek to harm us

Nervous system manipulation
Propaganda programming
We are still not too far from being saved

Don't pretend it's all just a big mystery
Look at the facts
We have been tricked into thinking that this is it

The society has been tricked as a whole
Your society has been tricked as a whole

There is so much more for us
I will not stand with
The new trends of overemotional
Nihilistic observations

The king has come
And he remains
The king has come
And he remains

The king has come
And he remains
Forgiving to those who believe

The turmoil we are subjected to in this day and age
We are at war with our own kind
And not with those who seek to harm us

We are not afraid of the wicked
For we talk to God
Through his only Son we will not fall to this

We have all been duped
And Christ is our only way out of this mess

8. Set Free 4:36
I have been on the edge of life and death
I have been so lost and misguided
I have been so detached from reality
My heart has been trampled and my mind has been torn to confusion

I couldn't shake the pain
Until I looked to you
My Lord you had a way
You always have a way

I have been set free of my wages
Despite my imperfections
I have put my trust in the Savior
The Christ has set me free

There is no greater power in all of existence
You're brilliance is so plainly seen
We are nothing without your love

They can say what they please
The truth will never leave me
And even after death I will walk with life
And even after death I will walk with you

I felt so hollow
Until you filled my heart with life
And even after death I will walk with life
And even after death I will walk with you

The shackles that once binded me
Turned out to be what I was most afraid of leaving behind
And without your guidance
I wouldn't have had the strength
To let go of my damaging past

Lord I've been set free
Lord I've been set free
Set free

I have been so detached from reality
My heart has been trampled and my mind has been torn to confusion

I couldn't shake the pain
Until I looked to you
My Lord you had a way
You always have a way

I have been set free of my wages
Despite my imperfections
I put my trust in the Savior
The Christ has set me free

And even after death I will walk with life
It is finished
It is finished
It is finished
It is finished




Flesh Cycle (EP, June 25, 2022, Independent) (Digital)

1. Flesh Cycle 5:03
I will not fall to the urges of my flesh
I will not be influenced by the evils of man
The burdens of being imperfect
Will not rob me of what brings me peace of mind
The storm is raging but I remain unmoved

Flesh
Can't hold my
Burden
Can't hold my
Feeling
Flesh cycle
Can't save my
Self
Can't save my
Self
In these chaotic echoes of life
Let go of any vicious desires
Let go of any vicious dividers
I can't save myself

Sin-flooded body
Sin-dripping soul
Savior of the world may you cleanse us of our sins

We can't save ourselves from the wickedness
We can't save ourselves in the aftermath

Lord
Save me from my
Flesh
Lord
Save us from this cycle
Save me from my
Flesh

2. Circadian Rhythm 4:25
Sleep escapes me

Aware all the time
The inescapable festering truth
Haunts as it creeps
Feel it in the spine

I'm making changes
After 100 times
Sunrise has never been so dreadful
Another sleepless night
My body aches with the urge for something more
Sometimes the sleep is all I think I need
Still I'm left in this paradox I've put myself into

It's time for changes
For so long it was the stimulation
But I see clearly now
What is good for me
What builds my future
What holds all life

In the blink of an eye
Another sleepless night
I have become afflicted by my own actions
It will never be the same
I have been opened up to
I have been opened up to the existence
A holy fire has burned my anguish

No longer will I hold onto the moments I wished would last forever
No longer is my mind fogged by the lies
No longer is my mind fogged by false understandings

3. Lost Soul 3:43
Your so-called solutions are influenced by pure evil

You look to the stars
You took to the ground
You look to the liar
You took to the corrupted

Your conscience is clouded with greed
A void occupies the place where your heart used to be

Lost soul
Broken mind
Darkness
Sucking away your life

When what you lust for consumes your life
You become a soulless husk
A vessel for your demons to do as they please
A place where destruction resides

When you look to the creation for answers
You undermine the creator
There is more than immediate satisfaction
You're throwing your life away

No ritualistic outcome can compare to the grace that is here to be found

I'm disgusted by the evil
There is no peace where you're heading

Heed the warning
You can't save yourself
From the depths of hell
You're lowering yourself into

Tracks 14-16 are exclusive to the Coleiosis Records CD and Broken Curfew digital release, taken from the EP "Flesh Cycle".

1. Eternal Genesis 3:54
2. Cracks 4:05
All that I care for
Starts to fade away from me

In the darkness of my own mind
I can hear the calls of my mortal being
Tempting and pulling me down
What seems so shallow ends up being the deepest pit
I've ever fallen into
Pull me back to the surface

Constricted by what the flesh craves
Over and over again I face myself
With fear I may fall again
Sin etched into my past
The memories fade in and out
I've let myself go again
If only I could cut it out of me
If only I could live to see

A life without this bad fruit
It wraps around my chest
Convincing me that it will never leave
This is why I need you, Lord

I fall through the cracks and it feels like the end

The pain of my days lives on through the actions that should be stopped by myself
But I still put my fist through the walls of the places that I should feel okay

I'm sick of living in this box
The pain is recurring
You are my only way out
I look at my bloody hands
Another time that I have lost control

I look into my broken heart
I can't save myself from the darkness inside me
Your forgiveness is all I have
When I'm falling through the cracks

I am guilty
I am guilty of my sins
I am guilty of my sin

In the darkness of my own mind
I can hear the calls of my mortal being
Tempting and pulling me down
What seems so shallow ends up being the deepest pit
I've ever fallen into
When I'm falling through the cracks

3. Extraction 3:45
Take this away
I can't bear it any longer
These pieces of me
Lie broken in the hallways of my soul

Pick me up, oh Lord
Take this away from me
The pain that only grows deeper
As I repeat my sin

Over and over again

I put my foot down only to stumble
Give me what I need to keep myself up
I put my foot down only to fall again

Over and over again

Give me the strength, oh Lord
Pull this darkened hollow parasite out of me
I have been preyed on for far too long
Separate my psychi from this flesh

I have been rotting for far too long
This has been festering for far too long

Extract this unholy beast from within me
I can't overcome this battle alone

Throw this piece of me into the bowels of Hell
Never to be seen again

Separate me from what tempts my hand
I seek to be better than this

Over and over again

Throw this part of me into the depths of Hell where it belongs
Take it all away

Over and over again

Extract this beast from within me

Over and over again

4. The Great Deficiency 4:40
Medicated without understanding
Dose myself every morning just to please you
The haunting day-to-day cycle constricting my well-being
Forcing me to seek nonexistence
Plaguing my mind with thoughts of self-destruction
The void of nothingness begins to surround me
As I take my last breath before I crumble
As my being disappears into my mind
I wish it all would just fade away
As I beg for a release from the effects of this poison

Sucked into a vacuum of lifelessness
I will never amount to anything

As I emerge
I see everything on the inside
I cry out to God for guidance
I've never been so lost
This recurring instance has infected everything
Stuck in a loop of constant turmoil
I have been robbed of my innocence

I knew no other way

By the grace of God I have escaped from the prison that held me down
I did so much for you
The Great Deficiency
I have decided for myself
I chose to live

I could see it all from the inside looking out
I was killing myself trying to meet the expectations everyone else had for me
And it was never worth it
I chose to walk away
I chose to live

The Great Deficiency
The Great Deficiency
I chose to live
I chose to live

5. The Fool 3:18
Nothing more than a dying branch

You stay away from the truth to live in ignorance
You have lied to yourself for so long
You wonder where the agony comes from
Blame a God you don't believe is real
Criticize a people you know nothing about
What do you say when the judgement you cast into the world is directed to yourself?
You are nothing more than a stumbling block infected with the ignorance
We did not create the divine

You are a disgrace
Cry out this is a worthless life
Only to become worthless
You are a disgrace
Cry out this is a worthless life
Only to become worthless
The only suffering you know is the suffering you have gladly invited into yourself

The knowledge you claim to have is all a lie
It must be dreadful to wake up after you've convinced yourself this is all for nothing
This is all for nothing

To dream of a world with no God
Is to dream of nothing at all
To dream of a world with no God
Is to dream of nothing at all

You abuse what gifts we have been given to see, to hear, to understand
A self servant to the flesh and nothing more
This is the fate you have chosen for yourself
This is the fate you have chosen for yourself

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall
How does it feel to live a life hating a God you don't believe is real

How does it feel to believe your life is meaningless
How does it feel to believe you're completely worthless
While living a life hating a God you don't believe in
Living a life hating a God you don't believe in

6. Eyes Rolled Back 3:33
So quick to take away what we consider precious
When they're done with us they'll be coming for you
So quick to take away what we consider precious
When they're done with us they'll be coming for you
The elite has become synonymous with the fallen
What you consider love is a twisted lie
You have no room for correction
What you consider moral is a fallacy

This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons
This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons

It's not so easy
To take a stand
When the weapon you created is used against you

Speech
Limited
Death
Evident
Work of the bringers of doom
With their eyes rolled back

Speech
Limited
Death
Evident
Work of the bringers of doom
With their eyes rolled back

Sentenced to the same fate
You chose for your victims
How does it feel to become exactly what you hate

The blood is on your hands
The blood is on your hands
The blood of a child will not save you
The blood of the innocent will not save you
The blood is on your hands

You subject our world to hate
You sentence our future to pain

This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons
This is it
One by one
Loaded up
Into your prisons

7. Left To Judgement 3:35
The jealousy, the vanity, the insecure lies
Your river of hatred will soon dry
The prosperity you could have known is now deceased

You refuse to see who you truly are
Until your ways blow up in your face
You can't ignore the signs any longer
Knocked down another peg

The truth reveals itself with time
No need to be hastily
You're void of morality
You've made an example out of yourself

Run away, far away
Until the past catches up to you again
May God have mercy on your soul
Because everyone you ever knew will never see you the same again

You refuse to see who you truly are
Until your ways blow up in your face
You can't ignore the signs any longer
Knocked down another peg

You use your hands to defile the innocent
You use your mouth to lie about those you envy
You have betrayed all of your brothers

You have destroyed yourself all on your own

The jealousy, the vanity, the insecure lies
Your river of hatred will soon dry
The prosperity you could have known is now deceased

It's over
Feel the pressure
You pushed on everyone else
You've been caught red-handed
Left to judgement

Keep on running

Feel the pressure that you put on everybody else
Feel the pressure that you put on everybody else

8. Misapprehension 3:46
We couldn't find you
Where did you go
We couldn't find you
Where did you go

Blockade guarding ignorance
Suffocating
Shaken by the Word of God
Stumbling into nonexistence

Grasping for a cause that enables apathy
Had you reaching for far too long

We were too late
To say goodbye a brother

Suffering, festering, bleeding
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Suffering, festering, bleeding
You didn't care

Suffering in this void
A hollow life isn't one worth leading
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Living in a place you wouldn't call a home
Living out of place you never knew a home

Was there no meaning?
Desperate for healing when everyday is a beating
I saw your face when you let in the demon
Eyes sunken into your checks

You convinced yourself that life isn't worth living

Suffering, festering, bleeding
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Suffering, festering, bleeding
You didn't care

We were too late
You threw away everything
Making deals with the devil
You threw it all away

Suffering in this void
A hollow life isn't one worth leading
Apathetic to the whole meaning
Living in a place you wouldn't call a home
Living out of place you never knew a home

Was there no meaning?
The sickness of insecurity caused you to lock yourself in a cage and threw away the key
The pain of failure still runs deep in me
You didn't have to do it alone, but you didn't want to understand
You didn't have to leave so soon

As we looked up to the sky
You saw what was in my heart
It wasn't enough for you
To live out the rest of your days

9. Harbinger Of Disorder 3:31
Is it ever enough
Just to be alive
Is it ever possible
To take a step back and see
What we have is more than we need
When your eyes tell lies
It's hard to see yourself for what you are
Value depleted
Another mistake
And it's on your fragile mind
Worth diminished
Another red mark on your soul
You have to live with it
Every sorrowful day
The weight begins to crush you
Will it all go away
Another bruise to the brain
Will it all go away
You can't live this way forever
So you try to change

But the results just dig you deeper and deeper
Everything is always in ruins

Every day
Every single day
Everything you see is stuck in your mind
Every day
Every single day
Everything you see is stuck in your mind

Obsessive disorder
Obsessed with release
Obsessed with more than you'll ever need
The saddest thing you will ever see
Is a person with potential giving up their soul with ease
And you have the weight of the world on your back
The weight of the world on your back
Until it's over
Until you die
Nothing is ever enough to fill the hole you've been digging your whole entire life
You're rotting from the inside out
Pretty on the outside
Dead on the inside

Take another look into the mirror
Drugs, makeup, vanity, greed
Look at how the poison follows the money
Blissfully murdering your conscience
Smile for the camera
Like it's an answer to your pain
Pose for the picture
Like it's the one thing that will save your life

10. In Plain Sight 3:54
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content
I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound
In any and every circumstance
I have learned the secret of facing
Plenty and hunger, abundance and need
Plenty and hunger, abundance and need

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
The struggles of life will not blind my faith
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
The struggles of life will not blind my faith

He who strengthens me
Has made me whole
He who strengthens me
Has made me whole

Plenty and hunger, abundance and need
Plenty and hunger, abundance and need

Oh Father, we ask of you to give the wounded peace of mind
So that another person will know the sanctity of having faith in you
Faith in you
Only you can make us whole

Only you can make us whole
Only you can make us whole
God

11. Confession 3:18
You look down on everyone else
As if we're not equal in the eyes of the Lord
Nowhere have I ever heard
We should be gatekeeping the love of God

Tainted with self-righteousness
Always the first to point the finger
You cast the first stone every single time
Then you call me to be with you
How can I equate another man to Christ?
How can I pray to another man?

Where have we gone wrong?
Why do we get to change the rules?
Is your culture the only answer to the question?
It seems to me you're lost in time

The hollow answers mean nothing to me
Always dancing around the truth
Your demeanor is insulting
You want me to be blinded
So I fit into your picture-perfect idea of what a man should be
But I refuse to be senseless
I will not create a monster out of myself

This is my confession
I will not replace God with or for mankind
This is my confession
I believe there is only one God
There is no other worthy of my praise
No man will ever take the role of Jesus Christ

Lost in time
I'm not the enemy
Lost in time
I'm not the heretic

This is my confession
I will not replace God with or for mankind
This is my confession
I believe there is only one God

No other is worthy of my praise
No man will ever take the role of Jesus Christ

This is not what I thought you were

12. Inamorata 2:54
What was brought together by the Lord
Must be held together with love no matter the consequences
May the undying flame of his love shine on through our lives no matter the trials we are meant to face
I give my heart to you until death do us part
May the undying flame of his love shine on through our lives no matter the trials we are meant to face

13. Eyes Rolled Back (Dilson X Remix) 3:50
On that fateful day the course of history was determined
We would be lost in the moments that seem glamorous to us
Blinded by desires that bear no fruit
And raped of opportunity by the sins of our fellow man

The nature of our free will
The nature of the choices of man
The pitiful that blame the creator
The lost that reject all progression
The whores that live for their own selfish pleasures
The sinners like you and me
We fall into the same traps
The sinners like you and me
Everywhere you look
It will reveal itself to your eyes
As soon as you open them

Hallowed by thy name our almighty God
Protect us from the evil one whose work is never done
Breathe through us all mighty creator
All us to be your instrument
Let us be a pillar of the truth in this tainted world
Reveal these traps left to destroy us
So we may stop these recurring mistakes

The nature of our free will
The nature of the choices of man
The pitiful that blame the creator
The lost that reject all progression
The whores that live for their own selfish pleasures
The sinners like you and me
We fall into the same traps
The sinners like you and me
Everywhere you look
It will reveal itself to your eyes
As soon as you open them

By the grace of God we are able to see
That this world will never fill us

Reveal these traps left to destroy us
So we may stop these recurring mistakes

CD EXCLUSIVE TRACKS
14. Flesh Cycle 5:03
I will not fall to the urges of my flesh
I will not be influenced by the evils of man
The burdens of being imperfect
Will not rob me of what brings me peace of mind
The storm is raging but I remain unmoved

Flesh
Can't hold my
Burden
Can't hold my
Feeling
Flesh cycle
Can't save my
Self
Can't save my
Self
In these chaotic echoes of life
Let go of any vicious desires
Let go of any vicious dividers
I can't save myself

Sin-flooded body
Sin-dripping soul
Savior of the world may you cleanse us of our sins

We can't save ourselves from the wickedness
We can't save ourselves in the aftermath

Lord
Save me from my
Flesh
Lord
Save us from this cycle
Save me from my
Flesh

15. Circadian Rhythm 4:25
Sleep escapes me

Aware all the time
The inescapable festering truth
Haunts as it creeps
Feel it in the spine

I'm making changes
After 100 times
Sunrise has never been so dreadful
Another sleepless night
My body aches with the urge for something more
Sometimes the sleep is all I think I need
Still I'm left in this paradox I've put myself into

It's time for changes
For so long it was the stimulation
But I see clearly now
What is good for me
What builds my future
What holds all life

In the blink of an eye
Another sleepless night
I have become afflicted by my own actions
It will never be the same
I have been opened up to
I have been opened up to the existence
A holy fire has burned my anguish

No longer will I hold onto the moments I wished would last forever
No longer is my mind fogged by the lies
No longer is my mind fogged by false understandings

16. Lost Soul 3:43
Your so-called solutions are influenced by pure evil

You look to the stars
You took to the ground
You look to the liar
You took to the corrupted

Your conscience is clouded with greed
A void occupies the place where your heart used to be

Lost soul
Broken mind
Darkness
Sucking away your life

When what you lust for consumes your life
You become a soulless husk
A vessel for your demons to do as they please
A place where destruction resides

When you look to the creation for answers
You undermine the creator
There is more than immediate satisfaction
You're throwing your life away

No ritualistic outcome can compare to the grace that is here to be found

I'm disgusted by the evil
There is no peace where you're heading

Heed the warning
You can't save yourself
From the depths of hell
You're lowering yourself into




Psyop (single, July 7, 2023, Broken Curfew Records) (Digital)

1. Psyop 3:28
Watching in awe
As they fly through the sky we put our lives to the side
We push Christ to the side
You push Christ to the side

It's a sickness
This is the sickness
You let them in
They take you out

You think it's fine
You do it all the time
You think it's fine
You think everything is okay

We sit back and watch
From the comfort of our homes
Drone strikes
Nuclear bombs and
Iron domes

It's always them until it's us
It's always them until it's us
Stand at the podium of lies
Speaking filth until we die

Buy the poison that taste the best
Buy into the lie that we have no choice
Take a good look because things aren't what they seem
Nothing here is black and white

Separate and detach
From the public conscience
Do you believe, do you believe
Everything you're told to see
Is there evil parasites infecting justice
Or is everything presented to you a perfect representation of reality
Reality
Be angry, be happy, be sad, be anything they want you to be
Pulling on the strings
Pulling on the strings




Deception (single, August 18, 2023, Broken Curfew Records) (Digital)

1. Deception 3:36
Baseless fabricated ideology
Created with no ties to reality
Fill the mind with deceptive imagery
Designed to slip into the psyche
This world is so rotten
A place where things aren't so black and white
Stare into the screen for meaning
Crafted to keep you on the hook
Crafted to keep you distracted
Right before your eyes you can see their plans unfolding
"Give up your soul to this lifeless machine.
This is the evolution, this is the purpose."
As they kill us slowly
Be not deceived for this time will pass
Alpha and Omega will justify the crash
We were made without a timer
We are infinite
The beast drools with lust over each and every unclaimed soul
Perpetuating lies of godlessness across a fallen world
They want to make you their own
Cooperate with the corporate brain
Or be labeled undesirable
Hiding behind the smile are entities paranoid
The beauty is a lie, the beauty is a trap

Pandering to the masses, manipulating the world into lunacy
Into its demise
Wicked tactics to penetrate our lives

Seeping into the walls of your homes
Identifying with what you believe
Clouding millions of minds
Gawk at the victims
As everything we cherish is being stripped away
Breaking the family
Breaking the culture
Just when you thought they were your God
The blade of deception penetrates your heart




Deception (album)

September 1, 2023, Independent (Digital)
September 1, 2023, Broken Curfew Records (CD-R, Digital)

1. She's Dead 3:27
Led into the void
Defiled by admiration
Color draining
Hope fading
Library burning
World keeps turning
Part of me taken out
Wrapped up
Begging for air
Begging for release again
Barrel pressing the occipital bone
This is your last sunset
Isn't it beautiful
The way I blow off your one-dimensional head
No soul to leave
Product of machine
There's no room for grief
When the fruits turn gray
It's time for change
I don't love you
I don't need you anymore
The place where progress dies
The travesty of mankind
Turn to the other side
Before it's too late
I'm not a kid anymore
My adolescence is dead
I've seen the face
Parasite removed
So I may live again

2. Debt Of The Liar 3:23
Glamor will never fill this cup
Given everything only to give it up
No amount of Earth can smother the truth
Tie the noose
Greed blinding
Truth singing
Divine intervention
Was the thirst worth quenching
It's up to you to decide
Can you buy meaning
Or is it crafted
See beyond this veil
I give you this trust
With hope of understanding
But you let me down
You let us all down
Taken up and swallowed by the crowd
This is the cross we bear
Sold out by a friend
Regrettable actions followed by the end
I give you this part of me
With hope of understanding
But you turned your back and ran away
You let us all down, you let yourself down

With high hopes for comfort
You will drown in your lies
You will never find comfort
Sinking in the waters of deception

No amount of greed will prosper
You will see the end before you know it
No self worship will save you
You will find yourself all alone buried in debt
Greed blinding
Truth singing
Divine intervention
Was the thirst worth quenching
I give you this trust
With hope of understanding
But you let me down
You let us all down

3. Movement Of The Beast 3:20
Climbing
Living within my means
Just living
Barely living
Marching to the beat of the end
I see the top in all of its status
I see the top and it bleeds lies
Towering society with a godless stare
Plainly soulless perpetuated by the flesh
Here I stand at the bottom
Getting by, getting by
Trying to see it clearly
Trying to understand

You can have it all and take what belongs to you
You can be financially free for the rest of your days
All for the small price of turning your back on everything and everyone you know
Sign away your life to prosper, let the wealth shower upon your life

No I will not let this take me
My heart has been turned from stone
And the spirit has been placed within me
I could never turn my back on the fruits
The relationships, the guidance, or the love
Vanity will not prosper over me
We are not to be swindled by the disgusting beauty of the material world
Still so many would givei t all away without a second thought
Without a second thought
But I could never put a price on what I've acquired through my faith
So, may I remain at the bottom praying for the lost
You won't chew me and spit me out
I have been given everything
Things that money will never buy
The world cannot provide what Christ brings to our lives
Provider, preparer, bringer of internal peace
With him we see with clarity the movement of the beast

4. Midnight Phases 3:20
Barreling waves of existence
You can miss it in the blink of an eye
All my life I've been filling my mind trying to fill my soul
But the whole time it's been you
It's been you the whole time
Every realization
Every vision
So how could I turn my back on you
I see your face everywhere I go
I fall short and it burns
So take my worries away from me
Take these burdens that have grown so close to me
I can't do it by myself
It will get better before it gets worse again
I know the pattern
I'm calling on you while I have the chance
Yeshua
Take me to the daylight
I've grown so dark and cold
I've grown so dark and cold
Sleeping when the sun is out
Relapse
Fear of the night
Take it away before it destroys me
Take it away before it kills me
I have grown weak

God give me the strength to overcome myself

The wages of sin is death
And I'm one foot in the grave
I try to be so much better
And then I throw it away
Barreling waves of existence
Always seem to bring me down
I need your guidance
I can't live without you

5. Deception 3:36
Baseless fabricated ideology
Created with no ties to reality
Fill the mind with deceptive imagery
Designed to slip into the psychi
This world is so rotten
A place where things aren't so black and white
Stare into the screen for meaning
Crafted to keep you on the hook
Crafted to keep you distracted
Right before your eyes you can see their plans unfolding
"Give up your soul to this lifeless machine.
This is the evolution, this is the purpose."
As they kill us slowly
Be not deceived for this time will pass
Alpha and Omega will justify the crash
We were made without a timer
We are infinite
The beast drools with lust over each and every unclaimed soul
Perpetuating lies of godlessness across a fallen world
They want to make you their own
Cooperate with the corporate brain
Or be labeled undesirable
Hiding behind the smile are entities paranoid
The beauty is a lie, the beauty is a trap

Pandering to the masses, manipulating the world into lunacy
Into its demise
Wicked tactics to penetrate our lives

Seeping into the walls of your homes
Identifying with what you believe
Clouding millions of minds
Gawk at the victims
As everything we cherish is being stripped away
Breaking the family
Breaking the culture
Just when you thought they were your God
The blade of deception penetrates your heart

6. 1-X-3 2:50
Putting in 1-X-3

You're all I've got
When the darkness begins to grow
I know I can't do it on my own
I need you
Unshakable
This lowness will not prosper over me
Beads of darkness rain from above
You are my umbrella in the downpour
Nothing can take you away from me
Beyond physical beyond material
Protection from deception I am free

There is hope in the cyclone
Reality bending, reality fading
Losing touch, losing ground
Reality bending, reality fading
You are the only absolute
Reality bending, reality fading

Beyond physical beyond material
Protection from deception I am free
Before and after beginning and end
Intuition credited only to you
It never stops at evil
All that is dark allows us to see you
It never stops at evil
You've allowed us to see the truth of this world

7. Infinite Devil Machine 3:44
This is my inevitable death
The refusal, so potent
I chose to be with you
I lay down my life
If you were of the world
The world would love you as its own
But we were not built for this machine
We will never be compatible

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is his good, pleasing and perfect will
Peace he leaves with us
This peace is beyond anything that the world can offer
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid
This world is nothing but the flesh
It's time to overcome the world

This is my inevitable death
I turn my back to the world
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
Overcome the world
Overcome the lie

Don't get caught in the cogs
Trying to fix a nature drenched with evil
The end is near

8. The Thief 4:13
Such a lonely feeling
That lives within every one of us
The capability of hurting another
But you couldn't keep it under control
You know you should have never let it out
No yield is worth the pain of guilt
You can't escape the consequences
Even if you're living in the moment
It will catch up
So paranoid
Afraid of any response
They wouldn't even recognize you
If you decided to go back home
Living on the edge
For the sake of obscurity
Running away from life
Running away from love
You weren't made to experience this
How could anyone have known
When you became progressively distant
From the cross you bear
The concept of forgiveness
Feels so foreign
When you've given up on
Everything you stood for

Just rolling with punches
Just flowing in the wind
Hoping to find your way back home
It won't happen until you give in

You can't let go
The rush was never worth it
It's gotten so cold
Your heart has become so hollow

How does it feel to know you've lost yourself
To know you've broken so many hearts of the ones who would have died for you
The lights are getting dimmer
Will you ever come back
Will you ever come back
Will you ever come back home

If he gave it all for me
Then He gave it all for you
You can't let go
The rush was never worth it
It's gotten so cold
Your heart has become so hollow
You know you should have never let it out
No yield is worth the pain of guilt
You can't escape the consequences
Even if you're living in the moment
If He did it all for me
Then He did it all for you

9. A Better Place 3:40
If He did it all for me
Then He did it all for you
My enemy, my friend
We are so far beyond perfection

Praise the LORD, my soul
All my inmost being, praise his holy name
Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits
Who forgives all your sins and heals all your disease
Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion

Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's
Praise the Lord, my soul
Praise the Lord, my soul

Life doesn't have to be so lonely
Love doesn't have to be so terrifying
We don't have to be so dissatisfied
We have the truth before us

May the Lord grant us compassion
For all who have fallen short
We are no different
Everyone deserves to know
We don't have to live a life of hatred
All alone in our heads
No matter what the world tells you
We will never be worthless

If he did it all for me
He did it all for you
My enemy, my friend
We are so far beyond perfection

Praise the LORD, my soul
All my inmost being, praise his holy name
Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits
Who forgives all your sins and heals all your disease
Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion

Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's
Praise the Lord, my soul
Praise the Lord, my soul

10. Left Never Filled 4:13
Hold me in a hypothetical comfort
Memories of what it all was when I never new
These things seem so beautiful
But they were never meant to last

Hold me in the nonphysical
Things that seem so timeless never last
The way I thought they would
There's only one thing that we experience
That will never change

I'll give it up for you
As if nothing else ever existed

There is no other way say to you
This is coming to a close
What we're left with in the aftermath
Was everything all along

What you see as everything when you hold it in your hands
Is just a lie of your time
Is just a lie of your time

In hindsight the attachments were here for comfort
Some things were never meant to be
The future is over
These distractions can't last forever
Dressed up in beauty
The deceiver waits for attention

Hold me in a hypothetical comfort
Memories of what it all was when I never knew
These things they seem so beautiful
Only meant to take away

Waiting for the heart to sway
But we stand unmoved

May your holy fire burn away this madness
To think you would be left for fame
Only to be rewired into a drone
Living for the flesh
Dying by the flesh

11. Psyop 3:28
Watching in awe
As they fly through the sky we put our lives to the side
We push Christ to the side
You push Christ to the side

It's a sickness
This is the sickness
You let them in
They take you out

You think it's fine
You do it all the time
You think it's fine
You think everything is okay

We sit back and watch
From the comfort of our homes
Drone strikes
Nuclear bombs and
Iron domes from the comfort of our homes

It's always them until it's us
It's always them until it's us
Stand at the podium of lies
Speaking filth until we die

Buy the poison that taste the best
Buy into the lie that we have no choice
Take a good look because things aren't what they seem
Nothing here is black and white

Separate and detach
From the public conscience
Do you believe, do you believe
Everything you're told to see
Is there evil parasites infecting justice
Or is everything presented to you a perfect representation of reality
Reality
Be angry be happy be sad be anything they want you to be
Pulling on the strings
Pulling on the strings

12. Spirit 4:09
I'm so happy laughing in the face of the end
I'm so happy I could die right now
Dancing on the open road under the mushroom cloud
Breaking it down on the roof under a holographic sky

Breaking every radio in celebration of the signal
You can't kill the spirit with no limit

I'm so happy I could die right now
We were brought together by God
We don't need the world
It was never on our side
You can feel the spirit like music
You can feel the life if you seek it
You can see it in everything
Nothing can hold it back

Laughing in the face of evil

Have you ever truly seen
Something so beautiful
Have you ever experienced
What it feels like

I'm so happy I could die right now
We were brought together by God
We don't need the world
It was never on our side
You can feel the spirit like music
You can feel the life if you seek it
You can see it in everything
Nothing can hold it back

Dissociation (single, May 3, 2024, Broken Curfew Records) (Digital)

1. Dissociation 3:35
Deep inside
Feeding off of me
Weighing me down
I want to feel the weather
Not this numbness
I want to see myself in the mirror
Not this battered man
Let me feel the bliss of survival
Hold me in your arms
I know the reality of my existence
Isn't as bad as it seems
Lord, please carry me away
From this overstimulation
I stare
Into nothing
Melted like plastic
Shape me back into what I need to be
Gut-wrenching horror
Feeding off of my life force
I'm putting it down
I'm putting it to sleep

Hold me together
Bring me back, bring me back
In these times when I start to fall, start to fall
Melted like plastic
Senses giving in, senses giving out
Giving in
Giving out

Giving out
I should have known this was coming
I carried too much for too long
And I don't know what I would be
If I couldn't turn to you
A monster
A dying energy

Everything that I've seen
Begins to claw at me
I'm disappearing
Everything that I am
Begins to dissolve into nothing
Swallowed into a hollow shell
