The Preacher (EP, February 28, 2018, Independent) (Digital)

1. The Preacher 2:35

I'll name and claim your head

If I speak it in faith

You take his sheep

And you lie to their face

Dishonest

False prophet

You made your coffin

From your profits

You built your pulpit on

Lies

And toss in a scripture

The god spewing from your mouth

Is a fake

I see demons when I look at your face

When I look at your

Face

I'll name and claim your

Head

You are no prophet but the profits you gain

How dare you hide behind my Father's name

In the end there's no running away

Your heaven's on earth but there's hell to pay

Save your lies for the Father

When you tell Him what you've done

Health and wealth

But you forgot the Son

2. Wither 1:49

To the flesh

Of the wicked

Let the vultures feast

Bringing death

To your children

Let your mercy cease

There are those

That don't know the light

And those that prefer the dark

There's the ones

That act in ignorance

There are scum with

Satan in their hearts

Do what thou wilt

Is the law

Of the bastard children

You think you're tough

Stepping on grace that

God has given

There will be hell to pay

For the lives you've thrown away

There will be hell to pay

You will rot and wither away

May you rot and wither away

3. Path 2:04

The path

Behind a veil

The one I walk

The others fail to see

Speak ill

Of this life

You can't find the truth

Right in front of your eyes

Listen closely

These words might haunt you

You don't see him because you don't want to

Know peace

No peace

The path to freedom

The path of suffering

Giving in is easy

Obey the curse

You'll never see me

Giving into the herd

But those that

Walk this path

Keep running and never look back

I'd give my everything

I'd give it all

I'll tread this path

If I have to crawl

In a world that is going mad

I have no choice but

To follow the path

4. Savior-Self 1:46

You are by far the weakest god

I have ever seen

How can you

Create your future

With your present

Bursting at the seams

It's hard living

Like you have no control

But our lives are pushed pulled

Into the undertow

Lie

To yourself and join the pollution

You dug your grave

And called it a revolution

Lie to yourself

And

Join the pollution

You dug your grave and

Called it a revolution

I can't believe you call us sheep

When you're herded by destruction

Say what you can

Take what you will

Born with nothing and you'll leave with nothing

5. Dead Heroes 2:11

I watched you from the pew

But how you fell

The light you followed

Has led you to hell

Once

Upon a time

You said

In Jesus name

But the cross you carry

It has no weight

Coward

Once

A sheep

We are all

Black sheep in the flock

But a young

Wolf emerged

Once he shed his facade

Your faith was so weak

Dictated by what others

Speak

My heart

Breaks for you

And what you used

To mean to me

Our heroes are heretics

Our sheep becoming cultists

We don't need your revivalists

What we need is a revolution

And

Lord I

Pray

Let your

Grace sustain

If my heart stops beating

You're still the blood in my

Veins

Preacher II (single, January 16, 2020, Independent) (Digital)

1. Preacher II 3:05

I

I lift my hands to the sky

You life your hands to my pockets

Leaving children to die

Dare I say you are godless

Lie

To avoid provocation

We were saved from damnation

But you're worried for your

Condemned reputation

Hell awaits below

God's more concerned saving souls

Not whether or not you're living your

Best life wasting His breath on solid gold

Embrace your heresy

Dispose of the ones who oppose

Their bloodstains on your hands

Wiping down your precious throne

Embrace your heresy

Dispose of the ones who oppose

Do you know who we stand before

On the day He calls us home?

Torn from the snares of all love

You make a terrible god

Unwilling to share the gold

That the devil spent on you

Torn from love

Let them take me

Left in a puddle of blood

Left with the stench of death

Get your prosperity out of my face

Your virtues are sold

Replaced with dead weight

You sold souls to the devil for cash

Will you flee from the coming wrath

Come face your sins heretic

Your best life is weak and pathetic

Twist the truth and blaspheme against the King

It won't be long till the final trumpets ring

An Observation Of Grief (EP)

February 11, 2021, Independent (Digital)

April 15, 2021, Independent (Digital)

1. An Observation Of Grief 3:55

An observation of grief

Every day is the same

But the clock's still counting down

Will I see Your light at the end

Or will I just rot in the ground?

Tirelessly sedating

Always trying to escape

Being alone in the dark of my mind

What will it say to me?

The ground removed from

Beneath my feet

I cannot breathe

Existence is deafening

Every day is the same

But the clock's still counting down

Will I see Your light at the end

Or will I just rot in the ground?

Lost haste the day

When my faith is sight

I can't take another day

I can't live another night

Crawling to the altar

With broken bones

I come bleeding

And He calls me home

Gritting my teeth

Writhing in my sleep

I thought I was

Alone

I feel it all

Slipping away

I heard Your call

Come take me away

Lost haste the day

When my faith is sight

I can't take another day

I can't live another night

2. Preacher II 3:05

I

I lift my hands to the sky

You life your hands to my pockets

Leaving children to die

Dare I say you are godless

Lie

To avoid provocation

We were saved from damnation

But you're worried for your

Condemned reputation

Hell awaits below

God's more concerned saving souls

Not whether or not you're living your

Best life wasting His breath on solid gold

Embrace your heresy

Dispose of the ones who oppose

Their bloodstains on your hands

Wiping down your precious throne

Embrace your heresy

Dispose of the ones who oppose

Do you know who we stand before

On the day He calls us home?

Torn from the snares of all love

You make a terrible god

Unwilling to share the gold

Torn from love

Your best life is weak and pathetic

3. The Gates Of Hell Are Locked From The Inside 3:04

The gates of Hell

They'd rather hang over the fire

Than give up their worthless gods

Behold your kingdom of desire

Forever condemned to rot

Behold the ruin you begot

It's not that God won't save you

You don't want to be saved

Point the finger

But inside

You know you chose your place

We exchange Your glory for our shame

We cast ourselves into the flames

Your desire will resemble the flame

The hole in your heart

Will be your resting place

You call Him callous and reject His grace

You climb into Hell as

The Father turns away

He'll give you the desires

Of your heart

Then you'll realize

You're lost inside the dark

There's salvation

As surely as He lives

Consumed

Drag yourself

To Hell with all your sins

4. I In Weakness Of Flesh 3:09

I, in weakness of flesh

Why don't I feel so "dead to sin"?

Wretched man, that I am

I have broken Your laws again

I've done evil in Your sacred place

And all I deserve is death

I lift my hands to the sky

In deepest fear

Crying out for Your mercy

For my end draws near

Lord I am Thy enemy

And all I deserve is death

Lord I am Thy enemy

And I hate my very flesh

Lord I am Thy enemy

And I hate my very flesh

Lord I am Thy enemy

And all I deserve is death

Put me in the ground!

I, in weakness of flesh

Done evil in Thy sight

But You sparing your wrath

Gift me with Jesus Christ

Gift me with Jesus Christ!

5. War With God 3:15

Carve thy image

Out of stone

Apostastes to the throne

Put your faith in a dying rock

And deny the God you know

You know He's real

You don't want to admit

You despise the light

You'd rather rot in your sin

We'd rather live

A pointless existence

Than see our sins

In the life we are living

War with God

Every man is wicked

Everyone is dead in the spirit

Pray for resurrection

Only the living will see Him

Living your life with no shame for your sins

Your heresy will see you burn in the flames

Chastised in the rivers of Hell

Spewed from the mouth of the Almighty

Arrogance will not serve you here

Boasting of sin while you decay inside

The devil laughs as you walk into Hell

For he has no will but to kill

You think this is a game?

You think the dark one you serve will see you living forever?

There is no salvation; there is no hope

Only a rotting, decaying corpse when your spirit dies

Forever burning in the flames of the abyss

War with God

Every man is wicked

Everyone is dead in the spirit

Pray for resurrection

Only the living will see Him

6. Tossed To The Wolves 3:36

Can maggots distinguish our bodies

Tell our bodies apart in the grave

Yet you act so self-righteous

That you turn our brothers away

There are wolves ready to devour

No lambs willing to care

A lost soul in his darkest hour

Tossed to wolves and left to despair

A stillborn believer

Taken before he was born

All have fallen short

But you greet each other with scorn

A stillborn believer

Taken before he was born

All have fallen short

But you greet each other with scorn

We are children of God

We all need forgiveness

But when we tear each other apart

The unbelievers witness

Can maggots distinguish our bodies

Tell our bodies apart in the grave

Yet you act so self-righteous

That you turn our brothers away

There are wolves ready to devour

No lambs willing to care

A lost soul in his darkest hour

Tossed to wolves and left to despair

7. Within Despair 2:36

Within despair

The walls

That I perceive as reality

Are beginning

To break down around me

This hell, this well

I can't escape from

Put me back in the grave that I came from

There's a fire that conspires to consume

The light in me that came from you

I don't know if I'm losing my faith

But I'm losing my strength

To fight another day

Torn apart by the curse of duality

Between the God of life

And the hell in me

But there's your hope

That won't relent

It's attempts to preclude

My damnation

I call out

Merciful God I am pleading

Sometimes I wanna hang from the ceiling

With this rope tied around my neck

I try to hang on every word you've said

Give me peace

The certainty

I wont' be claimed by the entity

Every night I drown in scorn

I will not curse the day I was born

Let Me Feel Everything (single, July 7, 2022, Facedown Records) (Digital)

1. Let Me Feel Everything 3:35

I no longer weep

Put my soul to sleep

Let me feel everything

Let me feel anything

If the ocean holds my body

Will my soul float away?

If I let emotion flow from my throat

Will the suffering fade away

To let my brain bleed out its sorrow

And keep the demons at bay?

If I let emotion flow from my throat

Will the suffering fade away

To let my brain bleed out its sorrow

And keep the demons at bay?

Let me feel everything

Let me feel everything

Will the hands that formed my soul

Embrace me on the day?

No longer writhing in a rotting shell

As my sin melts away

Will the hands that formed my soul

Embrace me on the day?

No longer writhing in a rotting shell

As my sin melts away

Let me feel everything

Let me feel anything

Let me feel everything

Let me feel anything

Hell Of My Design (single, September 23, 2022, Facedown Records) (Digital)

1. Hell Of My Design 3:22

I'll never made it out of this

What I'm searching for

Is just out of reach

I can't resist

And I can't ignore

In death I'll find my peace

From the moment I wake

I feel a constant ache

I'm escaping the depths

Till the moment I rest

I've lost count

How many times did I pray

Only to wind up in this same place

Day after day

The corruption

Turns to decay

I don't have nobody else to blame

I'm in a hell

Of my design

The fragile

State of my mind

Is inclined

To decline

When I find hope

A smile choked

I try to cope with a stillborn joy

My life is a ploy

I sense an endless repetition

I can't escape this prison

I drown my sorrows

To forget that I'm drowning

From the moment I wake

I feel a constant ache

I'm escaping the depths

Till the moment I rest

I sense an endless repetition

I can't escape this prison

I drown my sorrows

To forget that I'm drowning

Slow Suicide (album, July 21, 2023, Facedown Records) (CD, Digital)

1. Slow Suicide 3:47

I am not the monster under your bed

I am living under your skin

I am the darkest thoughts in the corners of your mind

Slow suicide

Follow the anguish through the darkness

You'll die when I want you to

Suffering is my song

Sing it from your lungs

And make it slow

Slow suicide

Call of the void

I am the call to destroy

I'm satisfied when you find joy

In the thought of taking your life

You'll die when I want you to

You'll die when I want you to

Show me the ache I know to be true

I need the violent sway that hides inside you

Find what you love to ease the pain

And let it slowly rot you away

Follow the anguish through the darkness

You'll die when I want you to

Suffering is my song

Sing it from your lungs

And make it slow

I am your vices

I'm in the silence

I am living

Under your eyelides

You can burn in your hell

With a little taste of heaven

On your tongue

Slow suicide

Call of the void

I am the call to destroy

I'm satisfied when you find joy

In the thought of taking your life

You'll die when I want you to

You'll die when I want you to

2. Preacher III 2:57

American god

American god

Turn a profit

No matter the cost

American god

American god

Turn away the prophet

Deceive the lost

On the pulpit of a TV screen

Vicious wolves in the skin of sheep

False teachers, fake preachers

Condemn yourself with the words you speak

Christlike in the public eye

Satan in the lies you hide

There is violence in the house of God

From the shepherds who are called

To the flock

What will Christ do when you rape his sheep

When He shows everyone the lies you keep

The wrath of God

In the jaws of Hell

Best life now because it won't end well

You were supposed to show us Christ

Blood money in the walls you hide

Sell a fake Heaven to those in Hell

Counterfeit Christ, you can't save yourself

You won't have wealth when there's nothing left

You won't flee the hands of death

American god

American god

Turn a profit

No matter the cost

American god

American god

Turn away the prophet

Deceive the lost

False shepherd with a serpent's mouth

Arms wide open to the slaughter house

Counterfeit spirit

Counterfeit lamb

Counterfeit wealth for the lives you've damned

Use the cure to spit your poison

No good seed in the words you sow

Shelf his word, believe in voices

There's no Christ in the cross you show

Only greed in the God you know

Self-deceived you are rotting slow

There's no peace in Hell below

3. Memento Mori 3:18

The sound of a weeping earth

In the throes of death

If there is no heaven above

Heaven is when there is nothing left

You're doomed from the moment of birth

In a generational curse

Suffering to no avail

Condemned to a rotting shell

Is life but a strangled breath

Carve purpose to make sense of our death

We tell ourselves we are fine

Rotting away while we do our time

Is there no God above

To watch as we rot in this hell

Earth groans together as one

As we slowly kill ourselves

Is life but a strangled breath

Carve purpose to make sense of our death

We tell ourselves we are fine

Rotting away while we do our time

I can't feel you anymore

Strangled I die in the dirt

Doomed from the moment of birth

Heaven is when there is no more death

The sound of a weeping earth

In the throes of death

If there is no heaven above

Heaven is when there is nothing left

Heaven is when there is nothing left

4. Hell Of My Design 3:22

I'll never made it out of this

What I'm searching for

Is just out of reach

I can't resist

And I can't ignore

In death I'll find my peace

From the moment I wake

I feel a constant ache

I'm escaping the depths

Till the moment I rest

I've lost count

How many times did I pray

Only to wind up in this same place

Day after day

The corruption

Turns to decay

I don't have nobody else to blame

I'm in a hell

Of my design

The fragile

State of my mind

Is inclined

To decline

When I find hope

A smile choked

I try to cope with a stillborn joy

My life is a ploy

I sense an endless repetition

I can't escape this prison

I drown my sorrows

To forget that I'm drowning

From the moment I wake

I feel a constant ache

I'm escaping the depths

Till the moment I rest

I sense an endless repetition

I can't escape this prison

I drown my sorrows

To forget that I'm drowning

5. I Fear Your Silence 3:49

Slip through my hands like an exit wound

Losing my deepest love I have been consumed

Lost in the afterglow again

Dance with my demons when I fear I'm losing you

Drag the knife before I push it through

I fear your silence

I fear your silence

I fear that I've pushed you away

The next time you speak

What will you say to me

I can't feel you anymore

I can't pick myself up off the floor

I scream at the sky while my tears rust through these chains

Father tell me why, why was I born this way?

Dance with my demons when I fear I'm losing you

Drag the knife before I push it through

Slip through my hands like an exit wound

I fear your silence

I fear that I've pushed you away

The next time you speak

What will you say to me

6. Suffering By My Own Hand 2:51

There is no

Peace in my soul

Everything is black and

I'm losing control

The higher I feel

The deeper the depths

Father I'm sorry

Lord I repent

Suffering

By my own hand

Suffering

By my own hand

I am brought to the end of my rope

Broken by the same things

That promised me hope

I call on your name but

I'm starting to choke

I pray to these walls

As I'm left all alone

Voices they drag me below

Agonizing painfully slow

Voices they drag me below

Drag me below

Suffering by my own hand

Sinking lower just to feel something

Coping with what I can't stand

Wasting away into nothing

Suffering by my own hand

Sinking lower just to feel something

Coping with what I can't stand

Wasting away into nothing

There is no

Peace in my soul

Everything is black and

I'm losing control

The higher I feel

The deeper the depths

Father I'm sorry

Lord I repent

7. Let Me Feel Everything 3:35

I no longer weep

Put my soul to sleep

Let me feel everything

Let me feel anything

If the ocean holds my body

Will my soul float away?

If I let emotion flow from my throat

Will the suffering fade away

To let my brain bleed out its sorrow

And keep the demons at bay?

If I let emotion flow from my throat

Will the suffering fade away

To let my brain bleed out its sorrow

And keep the demons at bay?

Let me feel everything

Let me feel everything

Will the hands that formed my soul

Embrace me on the day?

No longer writhing in a rotting shell

As my sin melts away

Will the hands that formed my soul

Embrace me on the day?

No longer writhing in a rotting shell

As my sin melts away

Let me feel everything

Let me feel anything

Let me feel everything

Let me feel anything

8. Last Breath Of A Dying God 3:06

I was fused to this throne of flesh

As I wore my blindfold crown

Slave Priest at the altar of self

The son of man comes to swallow my hell

The last breath of a dying god

I will make war until my death

(I will make war until my death)

Flesh wounds and battle scars

Take me when there's nothing left

Flesh wounds and battle scars

Take me when there's nothing left

As I lie on my deathbed

Father bring me home

Crucified is my past

The god of flesh breathes its last

The last breath of a dying god

I will make war until my death

(I will make war until my death)

Flesh wounds and battle scars

Take me when there's nothing left

Nothing left

Nothing left

Take me when there's nothing left

Pray For Me (single, October 18, 2024, Facedown Records) (Digital)

1. Pray For Me 3:16

Where the broken go to die

And the vultures swarm the sky

Their shadows

Dance around me

As I am severed from the light

I've been losing my mind

Dragging these chains

Waiting for a sign

I've been losing my life

Wasting away

Just to pass the time

The voices scream

And my demons sing

And my demons sing

Will you pray for me

While I waste away

I can't

Cast my gaze to heaven

When my soul is in the grave

Will you pray for me

(Pray for me)

If I lost my way

I pray the Lord my soul to take

(I pray the Lord my soul to take)

Watch me bleed

Share my suffering

Will you stay

'Til the light comes back to me

I can't find the strength

To lift these broken hands

And call your name

So I tread this wasteland

Something's broken

Inside of me

And I just can't find the piece

I fear my soul is stained

Far from heaven

Far from grace

Far from grace
