Searching Serenity (EP, February 27, 2015, Independent) (CD, Digital)
1. Monstrum 3:51
Blood, fresh from an unwilling donor
Darkness surrounds me
Waiting to sink its teeth into flesh
Your desires and lust
They tremble before their death
Eternal dead will walk again
Living damnation, caged undeath
Kill them, burn them, end them, chase them
Leed on their agony till you're content
Hell on earth has come to us
The fog entangles our minds
Angels weep in silence at the days yet to come
I have seen the pain and the demise unlike
Anything you've seen
Innocence tainted by hate petrified embrace
Your, your pain and blood sustain me
Hell on earth has come to us
The fog entangles our minds
Angels weep in silence at the days yet to come
I cannot, I cannot
I cannot take this
I've killed so many
Their lives cut short
Freaks of nature that should stay in their graves
Until the end of time
Blood, fresh from an unwilling donor
Darkness surrounds me
Waiting to sink its teeth into flesh
Tour desires and lust
They tremble before their death
Your pain and blood are what sustain my life
Hell on earth has come to us
The fog entangles our minds
Angels weep in silence at the days yet to come
Petrified embrace
Your pain and blood sustain me
2. Betrayer 3:20
You feed off the scraps
You'll settle for anything
Not giving back, just taking away
Your misconception is your downfall
Thinking you hold the hand of God
But you won't get to me that easily
You know the words I sing to you
They don't mean anything
Yourself is all that you have left
You're dead inside
Taking flight to find your next meal
We know you don't have time to feel
So many before you find who's next
Waiting around, just fix your mess
Psychological warfare with me is all that you desire
Clipping my wings as you pull the strings
Won't ever happen again!
You cannot hurt me
You're tangled in my web
Try to fill me with misery
But I'm a creature breaking out of its cage
You can't stop me
You know the words I sing to you
They don't mean anything
Yourself is all that you have left
You're dead inside
Taking flight to find your next meal
We know you don't have time to feel
So many before you find who's next
Waiting around, just fix your mess
You are full of lies
This is what you've become
Betrayer!
Betrayer!
You know the words I sing to you
They don't mean anything
Yourself is all that you have left
You're dead inside
Taking flight to find your next meal
We know you don't have time to feel
So many before you find who's next
Waiting around, just fix your mess

1. Grass Withers, Flowers Fade 3:11
All you've been given
It can be taken away
It can be taken away
Grasp what you love
Take all you know
And hold it close
My friends
The end is nigh
Plundering the shards of yourself
Trying to find where it all went wrong
Not knowing what's really to come
You've been deceived be your shadow
Paranoid and crippled
Your might has been worn thin
Twisted and ripped
From the very marrow of your bones
My friends' voices fill the air no more
Ashes to the wind
Living doesn't seem
To be so easy
My might has been worn thin
Twisted and ripped from the very marrow of my bones
If my life were to be taken at this very moment
My mind would be at ease
I would rest in peace
I'd rest in peace

1. Prelude 2:02
Seek the Lord
The healer of Sins
His grace pours out
For those who trust
2. The Coveter 3:30
"He coveteth greedily all the day long:
But the righteous giveth and spareth not"
(Proverbs 21:26)
The possessions of others
Are not your own
To take what is not yours
Is to betray the Lord
The spirit of the Lord is that of a giver
Love your neighbor
Reject yourself
Give wholeheartedly without greed
3. The Doubting 4:23
Cross my heart and hope to die
I gave you my faith, I gave you my life
I need a sign
Of your presence
This world is broken beyond repair
I'm struggling to feel you there
Your plan is taught to be greater
Than our understanding
It's said the plan for the world
Is all in Your hands
Reaching out to the heavens
I feel my life slip away
Send me a dove from your world above
So I know you aren't absent from me
Satan comes and provides doubt
Are you even real?
Do you even hear my please for you?
He preys on me like a helpless sheep
Knowing my faith is present despite my constant worries and doubts and fears
"Faith is confidence in what we hope for
And assurance about what
We do not see"
(Hebrews 11:1)
4. The Brokenhearted 3:19
"He will wipe
Every tear
From their eyes
There will be no more death
Our mourning, crying, nor pain
For the old order of things
Has passed away"
(Revelation 21:4)
The pains of life
The thorn of love
The deeds of those
Who care not what they do
They break those close
With no remorse
Left broken and bleeding
Heal my wounds and make me whole
Give me strength to carry on
Tell me You are bigger than my pain
So I may worship You
They tear and rip
They steal my solace
Providing nothing beyond pain and sadness
My heart has broken for the ones of the world
Like Yours breaks for those who do not follow
Heal my wounds and make me whole
So I may worship You
5. The Thief 3:36
"He who robs his father or his mother
And says it is not a transgression
Is the companion of a man who destroys"
(Proverbs 28:24)
Believing in a way of life
Where goods are open
For the taking
Precious and loved by those who own them
Available to steal with no proper thought
Your disregard for the possession of your brother
Reveals your heart
Full of greed
Lacking in love
Betrayal of a friend
Stings like a hornet
The pain seeps beneath the surface
6. The Liar 3:38
"For all that is secret
Will eventually be brought
Into the open
And everything that is concealed
Will be brought to light
And made known to all"
(Luke 8:17)
Acting as one with knowledge
Ill intent, goals to lead astray
Misinformation spreading like wildfire
Burning the forests of belief and truth
Desires to deceit
Hiding the light of truth
Acting as the evil one
You harm those in your path
7. The Haughty 3:39
One of a kind
Your world revolves
Around yourself
At the expense
Of those you know and love
"Everyone who is arrogant in heart
Is an abomination
To the Lord
Be assured
He will not
Go unpunished"
(Proverbs 16:5)
You put yourself before others
Driving stakes and burning bridges
Causing harm for your own gain
All to feed your self-righteous egotistical mentality
Deep in the mind of the prideful being
Tormented by pain and doubt
Tearing others down to lift yourself up
You seek no healing, just destruction
Unshackle the bonds
Of pride
Give to others
As they to you
8. The Absence Of Pain 3:54
(Instrumental)
9. The Wicked 3:35
"Woe to those who devise wickedness
And work evil on their beds!
When the morning dawns
They perform it
Because it is in the power of their hand"
(Micah 2:1)
Evil actions
Dark power
Things of this world
Not of the Lord
Seek not ways to serve evil
Driving out light
Inviting in darkness
Casting words in the name of Satan
Actions without intent of holy worship
Discernment and clarity for what is right
The knowledge of good and evil
Putting oneself into a plight
In the name of all that is wrong
10. The Abuser 3:25
"If anyone causes one of these little ones
Those who believe in me, to stumble
It would be better for them to have
A large millstone hung around their neck
And to be drowned in the depths of the sea"
(Matthew 18:6)
The precious life of the young and naive
Sinful by nature, but unknowing of the world
To take advantage through your own selfish deeds
Of those who know not how to defend
Seeking pleasure from the innocent
Causing harm for your own gain
Taking what is not yours
Torturing the soul of a poor little one
Evil seeps from your every word
Your actions reflect the darkness of your heart
Your mind focuses not on things of God
Just on the sins of the world and your own disgusting gain
Life is a precious gift
From the creator
Tarnish it
And you will be doomed
Tie a millstone around your neck
And jump in the sea!
11. The Murderer 3:01
"Beloved, never avenge yourselves
But leave it to the wrath of God
For it is written
'Vengeance is mine
I will repay,' says the Lord"
(Romans 12:9)
The sacredness of our lives
Made in the holy image of the Father
Taken lightly as if unspectacular
Is detestable to the Lord
To take the life of a fellow being
Is to take the role of the almighty creator
Who giveth and taketh
Through His own personal will
Your life is not your own
Nor is the life of another man yours to take
But glory to God in the highest
Who gives us life and is in control
12. The Villain 3:46
Villainous intent
Malicious atrocities
Driving away peace
Bringing in destruction
Knitting fear into the people
Of the world
One by one
Causing mayhem and discontent
All in the name of division
"Whoever makes a practice of sinning
Is of the devil
For the devil has been sinning from the beginning
The reason the Son of God appeared
Was to destroy the works of the devil"
(1 John 3:8)
The desire to gain justice
To avenge the fallen
The hope to bring to light
Those who are living in the dark
This is the will of the Lord
Not that we may fix the world
In our own power
But to live in His will
For us
Allowing Him to take his place
As the rightful judge of all
Satan works within one's soul
Feeding desires to hurt and cause pain
Seek now ways to bruise your neighbor
Instead seek light
Evade becoming the villain
13. The Struggles Of The Earthly Ones 3:15
Human beings born into sin
No escape through our own doing
No hope without the work of the Lord
Seek not how you may save yourself
Seek the Lord to take away your sin
We fight and struggle
To find our own path
Yearning to heal
Hoping to end the pain
God the Father
Who sent His son
Gives us eternal life
Through letting go of ourselves
To trust in Him
"For I consider that the sufferings
Of this present time
Are not worthy comparing
With the glory that is to be revealed to us"
(Romans 8:18)

1. Disarray 2:40
"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap."
(Galatians 6:7)
The hand of God gives guidance to the followers, the wrath of God gives justice to the Denier
2. I Won't Bow Down 4:17
I WON'T BOW DOWN
TO THIS WORLD'S IDOLS
CUT OUT MY PRIDE
REPLACE IT WITH YOU
Worldly ways aren't reflections of Your heavenly kingdom.
I won't cherish a false idol as if it is my god.
Putting things on a pedestal as if to imply that they are greater than You.
Pushing an ideal to the world to bring others down and lift their eyes towards things that cannot heal them.
Driving people to a point of insanity wishing they could be something they are not all in the name of vanity.
Humble yourself in the sight of the world.
3. Avarice 2:49
Lay down your Cross.
At the feet of the mighty Savior.
The evils of the world tarnish those of good heart and deceit crawls into one's mind to drive them from His almighty embrace.
Set apart from the ways of evil, stand for the ways of heaven and seek righteousness through His empowering Spirit.
"Seek Yahweh and live or He will spread like fire throughout the house of Joseph."
(Amos 5:6)
The evil one lies and tempts to bring us closer to his dwelling, tricky and meticulous with his intent to destroy our lives.
The Spirit of the Lord drives away his darkness and brings peace and healing to those who believe in His power and grace.
He judges not by appearance but by the content of one's heart.
4. Maltreatment Against The Body 3:58
"Those who turn justice into wormwood throw righteousness to the ground."
(Amos 5:7)
The God of justice has wept at the mistreatment of His creation between one another.
Allowing divisiveness to drive an unholy wedge betwixt the people initially created. to have unity amongst one another.
Do you desire to have hatred in your life?
Do you seek to have negativity looming at all times?
Put your injustice aside and seek refuge in the comfort of God's presence.
Allow Him to drive you towards unity and away from unrighteousness, away from unrighteousness, choices designed to afflict members of His body.
Carving out your own self-respect and ability to treat others with dignity.
5. Hymn For The Fallen 3:26
(Instrumental)
6. Melancholia 4:34
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
(Isaiah 40:10)
These darkened depths take hold of me.
Pulling me down further and further.
My soul is weak and my heart feels empty.
These vicious demons hold me in their grasp, stabbing without mercy.
I seek to find fulfillment.
Lord save me from this pain.
I seek not to fill myself with foolish things of this world, but I seek to be filled by Your Holy Spirit.
Give me the strength to prevail past these attacks on my life.
Fill my heart, fill my soul.
Give Your strength to me oh Lord.
Almighty Father, the Great I Am, Lord Jesus Christ, I plead to You.
Seek my heart.
Change my life.
Lend me thy rod and thy staff.
Pushing through these evils, I can feel You with me.
Guiding me step by step along the way.
Pushing through these evils, I can feel You with me.
Guiding me step by step along the way.
7. Hubristic 3:52
"He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God."
(Romans 8:27)
People of knowledge, weak and great, putting down the God of this universe with the belief that their understanding is superior compared to the one who set the world into motion.
The Lord of this universe has the understanding of His creation better than we could ever hope, but individual pride drives naysayers towards the idea that they know better.
Set your spirit on seeking to deeply understand His heart and you will find that His love and care is deeper than one could ever imagine.
In the end of time on earth as it is we will understand once and for all that His power and love for us is truly for us and not to hurt us.
8. Trauma 4:18
Suffering through the pains of life.
Caught in the web entangled by physical, emotional and mental torment, causing sadness and grief abound.
My life for the Lord feels dimly lit through the trails put before me day by day.
The ones sent to love me cause me sorrow.
My despondency has driven me near the point of no return, the shadows of this feeling creeping closer than ever.
The only way out is through the comfort of one more understanding than even myself.
He is the way through this pain.
He can heal me from my darkened spirits.
God Almighty, I pray to you in a time of great need.
Send convictions to those who betray me.
Send remorse to those who hurt me.
Heal those who need Your healing.
Send grace to those who seek You.
9. Apartheid Populace 3:13
Created to be one in the body of Christ.
Torn apart through the work of the Devil's hands.
"Hate evil and love good, establish justice in the gate."
(Amos 5:15a)
The division we face is such a disgrace in the face of the Lord's perfect design.
Seven billion reflecting the one, set apart by opinionated difference with no validation.
Children of God seeking to put down their neighbor as if justifying placing one above the other.
"Stop judging by mere appearance, but instead judge correctly."
(John 7:24)
Find unity amongst one another in the ways we are made the same.
Find peace with those you've designated as your enemy.
We are one in the sane in the image of God.
We are His children, created equal in His eyes.
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
(Galatians 3:28)
10. Subjective Objection 3:48
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."
(Psalm 14:1)
Denying the existence of God the creator and accepting life as a meaningless existence followed by an empty nothingness.
The belief that having morality is solely a subjective choice driven by nothing more than ignorance.
Believing absolute truth to be a figment of the general population's imagination.
God the creator gave us a conscience to drive us towards recognition of right and wrong.
The Lord's provision and existence made apparent throughout the world, through the acts of others, through the miracles of life.
His promise was never that life would be easy.
His promise was that He would be with us through it all.
Trust in Him and trust that His love for you is greater than anything else.
Don't walk this world alone when there's a Father waiting to embrace you with loving, open arms.

My Prayer (single, January 20, 2023, Independent) (Digital)
1. My Prayer 3:39
As I scream up into the heavens, bowing my head to you
I pray you hear these words, Lord hear my prayer
I need you now
I lift these words in a time of great trial to the God above who is over all I know
Your divinity is beyond my comprehension
Your sovereignty is greater than anything I can imagine
Meticulously crafting together the world through nothing but your words
How dare I deem myself capable of knowing better than You
Retribution (album)
The vinyl release does not include track 6.
1. Eternal Suffering 2:02
ETERNAL SUFFERING!
2. The Curse Of Ymir 3:01
We are cursed
Plagued by this generational darkness rooted in pride and self glorification
This sinful nature with us, since the fall of man, we are cursed
The pain and toil
Is overwhelming
The Lord thy God
Save us through Your grace
The war was waged, the battles commence, the good shall reign, the world is saved
The curse of sin runs through the minds of all who walk this planet
Mental fortitude broken by Satan's torment of our mind
Through the grace of God, his bountiful forgiveness, we are given the chance to be redeemed
Place your faith in Him within your heart
3. The Hidden Village Of Light 4:37
Living amongst the tyrannical dynasty of evil drives me mad day by day
Swimming against the current and fighting against the grain
The lawless nature of this earthly realm darkens endlessly
The hidden realm so sweet and pure
No evil shall ever take away its dazzling light
This place has been prepared for us by the one who sits upon the mighty throne
His loud voice rumbles as everyone trembles at His glorious might
Where your treasure is there your heart shall be
The heavens declare the glory of God
And the expanse proclaims the work of His hands
Storing up these treasures in heaven
Trusting in Your mighty plan to come to fruition
Praying that Your sovereignty would protect me from all who wish to harm
This world shall one day pass away to make way for the new heaven and new earth
4. The Lands Between 5:12
Desolation
The earth is not as it was
Evil crept in and took the place of peace
Plaguing the land
The devils ploy to destroy all humanity
Sent our land into a state of utter shock
Hatred of the Father who cast him down
A desire to overtake Him as the new ruler
The angel of light cast from the sky
Sentenced to an eternity of suffering
Grasping for anyone he can pull down
He torments the minds of the citizens of earth
Day in, day out
Plaguing the minds of people
To distract them from God above
Jesus
My Savior
I call to thee
Protect me
From this torment
5. Winds Of Peace 4:02
Don't worry about anything
Present your requests to God
Pray honestly and trust faithfully
He will forever be standing with you
My heart shall forever be guarded by Christ
Believing in Him despite my limited understanding
He is my wonderful counselor
My faithful Guide
My trustworthy Father
My gracious redemption
Teach me to continually trust in You Lord
Show your grace when I am weak and Your presence when I am strong
You fill me with Your peace daily
May I proceed show this peace others
Fill me with the joy and peace that surpasses that which I receive on earth
6. The Shrine Of Fire 3:28
(Instrumental)
7. The Dark Tournament 4:13
War is waged in the spiritual realm
The fight between good and evil continually advances
The Lord is faithful to strengthen me
Protect me from the evil one
Worldly weapons are useless in this realm
The fight of the mind and spirit tears at me more and more
God's power to demolish is ever-present
The evil ones tremble in fear at the sight of His awesome power
We must be alert and of sober mind
Standing against the adversary with awareness and readiness
Satan's desire to tear us down and make us weak empowers him relentlessly, he shall fall in defeat when the final day draws near
We must resist his evil temptations
The spirit that fills us will give us this power
8. Fight Of The Valkyries 3:34
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords arrives
This final battle to end the era of pain and suffering has commenced
As the swarms fill the skies and the lands
The heavenly armies take their stand
As heaven opens and justice pours out, God's might is revealed
His armies pursuing to end evil's tyrannical reign on these lands
As the beast is captured it screams out in rage
He is thrown into the lake of fiery burning sulfur for eternal punishment
Satan shall pay for the destruction he has caused
The countless lives led astray through evil intention
Families broken and torn apart
Lives stolen from this world through wars and hatred
The angelic armies of God shall be led by the savior to the ultimate victory!
9. Hives Of Nekravol 4:46
Demonic influence rampaging through many
Tearing through the barriers of those who seek to play
This hive mind controlled by its evil source will forever chase their prey
Since the beginning in the garden
These demons have troubled and tortured the world
Creating disaster and plight for their own enjoyment
Tearing apart the fabric of peace for all
The evil ways of this world are not a reflection of our God above
The torment of life and nature of darkness shall be cast into the eternal flame to rot for all of eternity
10. The Ashen One 4:10
Fighting through this life on earth
Struggling to find my place
Learning to battle my faults and better myself
Roadblocks causing difficulties in my life
I'm eternally thankful for the sovereignty of Christ
Knowing He stands with me and knows my pain
Understanding the trauma and sadness of a life on earth
Empathizing with those who are lost and celebrating with those who are found
The gracious redemption granted by God is the greatest gift I've received
His desire to pursue me relentlessly gives comfort beyond understanding
11. My Prayer 3:39
As I scream up into the heavens, bowing my head to you
I pray you hear these words, Lord hear my prayer
I need you now
I lift these words in a time of great trial to the God above who is over all I know
Your divinity is beyond my comprehension
Your sovereignty is greater than anything I can imagine
Meticulously crafting together the world through nothing but your words
How dare I deem myself capable of knowing better than You

1. Cursed Crown 3:26
A cursed crown upon His head
Injustice woven, a king betrayed
Beneath the weight of earthly sin
His loving sacrifice for a lost world
From the ashes a promise found
Redemption's echo shall resound
The Savior's tears crash to the ground
The veil was torn as darkness reigned
A greater purpose fulfilled, for in His agony
Hope has arisen
He bore the cross to win our souls
So we proclaim His name unto the sky
He bore the cross to win our souls
So we proclaim His name unto the sky
The sky
2. Our Father 3:02
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
3. Sacred Triumph 2:58
The crowd mocks and sneers as the Son of God is beaten down under the weight of the world's imperfection
Casting curses at the one they once glorified in an act of utter rebellion and denial
As He is whipped and bruised
He submits to the of His almighty Father
Tied and nailed to the cross
He breathed His last breath and departed
As the three days pass the tone shifted
The Son arose from the grave
For the Father knew the ultimate plan
To conquer death and save His followers was written from the beginning
4. Rekindled Faith 3:33
As I live life on the earth
Hoping for a day to come where the sun will shine and refresh my soul
I struggle to find hope when I continually face trials and difficulties
Praying continually for solace and comfort
Jesus enter my life and save me
Grant me the strength to persevere through hardships
Stand by my side as I encounter obstacles that keep me from achieving what you wish for me
He promises to be with us in all that we encounter
Masterfully orchestrating His grand will for this world
He stands and knocks, seeking to enter our hearts
Our faith grants us the peace that only He can provide
5. Self Inflicted Wounds 3:07
Living a life of discomfort
Void of any hope for a new tomorrow
Willingly placing oneself into a negative mindset
Never ceasing to find darkness in the light
What a way to live
Thriving on the negative
Denying to see the positive
Manipulating the ebb and flow of one's constant way of life to ignore the light of God in favor of an existence focused on misery
Why do we torture ourselves in this way
Why deny the loving embrace of the Father
Who are we to say that this way of life is best
Turn to truth and you will be set free
Seek forgiveness and repentance of your ways
Be cleansed of all unrighteousness through His holy grace
Faith in the father brings the peace we all seek
Trust in Him gives clarity beyond comprehension
6. Iron Talon 3:51
The holy Word breathed by the Lord above
This sword I wield against any opposition
Sharper than any double-edged sword
Penetrating even to divide the soul and spirit
The Word of God is alive and active
My heart desires to serve and represent
All the good that the Lord has done
His sovereign grace and presence runs abound
His breath speaks and guides all who choose to listen
Searching for comfort and guidance in a world full of despair weighs heavier on those who indulge into worldly comforts
Placing trust and faith in the one who grants loving grace gives way for a life centered in joy and peace
