1. Closed Minded 2:04
(Instrumental)

2. Fail To Prevail 2:21
Open your wings and fly
Crush the devil's seed
You don't need them!
They will betray you!
Open your eyes

Here to stay
Against them
I failed
But you won't

3. Fermentation 3:46
I saw
A black sheep
Eating grass

And I saw
White sheep
Eating each other

Fermentation
They are rotting!

I turned my face away
But the smell of death was pungent
I won't stay
I won't be like them!

I, the black old sheep
Can't face you
Black I am
But not for long

4. Plants For Fuel 3:11
Planta a vida
Na despedida
Passam os dias
Crescem melhor
Sem ninguém por perto

(Instrumental)




The Harvest (EP, October 19, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (Digital)

1. To Announce God 1:40
Fragile bodies
Ignorant minds
Trying to conceive a lie
But neither by force nor by thought
Can they presume so high

We talk what we heard and learn from the Lord
But they talk only what fits their skinny clothes
And by force means hypocrisy and social cruelty
Against those who as doves carry the message of God
To upfit this newborn society from the infamous heritance of the snakes

2. Fight No Matter What 3:55
Fight no matter what

Falling creatures from the sky
Hoping the least not to die
The impact crush them against the ground
Their brains squeeze between the rocks
Soaking the well-known terrain

Land of no one
Pause and bemol
Land of pain
Land of the ones who died
In the last war against sin

Grinding teeth
Biting tongues
Squeezing hands

3. Martyr 3:23
Honoured saints are all beaten to death in the harvest of pain
Harvesting the richest of the grain
Never-ending wearing baptism clothes
Weary as the mocking

4. Dictator's Smile 3:12
Matter and substance will fall
Contradictions and blame
The purpose of life
Has been dishonoured

Supreme need for forgiveness
Seeking redemption on things, flesh and bone
Hailing the gods of gruesome worship
Beating the dead horse
Blaming the one that you need
Source of all treasures




Estável (album, February 11, 2025, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

Tracks 3 and 10 are bonus tracks.

1. Benedicta 3:24
Semper virgo - benedicta
Teotokos
Virgem bendita!

2. Beware 4:27
The serpent asked Eve:
Do you want to be like God?
I want it too
But not here!

In the salvation that awaits me
I will behold the face of the Most High
But here on Earth I will not choose sin
Which is the reward of the wicked

Because I hope for something bigger
And I won't be fooled
By the enemy's traps
For the Lord is with me
The Lord is with me

3. Instrumental 3:16
(Instrumental)

4. Chromossoma 3:17
Inside of you there is a hidden place
You don't know
Hail the One who created you
And can lead you there
Chromossoma

A seed inside you
Welcome your soul
God's will perpetuated
Chromossoma

5. Estável 4:26
Fiz voto de estabilidade em Cristo rocha firme
Não olharei à multidão que me cerca como vento
Pois construi sobre a rocha
E não hei de calar o segredo que transpiro
Pois Cristo fala mesmo quando não se ouve voz
E a multidão não ouve a sua própria respiração

A estabilidade de uma rocha está profundamente enraizada
É como uma montanha
A firmeza do mar é a sua força
E o seu ímpeto o seu pensamento

Assim quero mergulhar em Cristo
E beber da água da vida
Para que não me falte a luz sólida da verdade

Enquanto vivo hei de querer-te ó meu Deus
E a morte será a porta do teu reino

6. Old Ways 2:07
This is the way of old
Crippled and bad
Ugly to the bone

Old ways have passed
Behold everything made new

The old man has died
Behold Christ has risen
The gospel of Jesus Christ
Will save us

7. The Mountain 3:58
The mountain is hard to climb
Then look to our Lord up high
He carried the cross for you
You just need to follow Him
No matter how much you fall
Or how deep you are
Just look to his eyes
Embracing his word

The golden mountain of Christ
Is rising inside my soul
I'm trying to understand
But other is holding me back
I'm staring at the peak
Where the Lord is shining
And his glory destroys all darkness

8. Veronica's Cloth 4:00
We man of courage
Like Jesus Christ
Carrying the cross and suffering

What will we do?
What shall we say?
If no one shows up to comfort us

At the height of life
Someone wiped his face
With the care of a woman in love

And we too will not be left abandoned
But we have to value what we receive

A smile
A look
A word

9. We The Winners 3:23
Fight back
You're under control
Lifeless
Facing the cold
Nevertheless
You're on
Fighting towards
The winners
Never to forget
Never to regret!

Hopeless
You start to run
Believing
There is more to gain
Finding
Power inside
When no one cares
You make it your's
Victory!

They started to attack you
They want to deceive you
Making you feel the pleasure of defeat
Laying in your bed when you want to pray
Give it all to Christ and send them back away
Mock their faces
Smash their heads
Pray and forget the flesh
Give it all to Christ!

10. O Reino É Nosso 4:06
O reino é nosso
O reino é nosso
E não há que temer

As chamas estendem-se sobre o universo
Procurando quem o receba
Mas as margens do rio são demasiado estreitas
Deixa-o transbordar deixa-o transbordar

As culpas entendem a tua dor
Quando te achas santo
Mas a verdade não está na hipocrisia
Tudo grita de alegria
Tudo grita a loucura

Deixa-te transbordar
Deixa-te transbordar

Entre as molduras das tristezas que guardas
As paredes do teu quarto já não bastam
Revestidas de suores e lágrimas
Diz o ditado: mais vale tarde que nunca
Mas fez-se tarde e não te levantas

O reino é nosso
O reino é nosso
E não há que temer

11. Per Signum Crucis 4:04
By the sign of the cross we defeat our enemies
By the sign of the cross we create new order

Angels and humans gather around the mighty Lord
Who suffered death to cleanse his breed

Per signum crucis

By the sign of the cross we give thanks to the Lord for its Spirit
By the sign of the cross we gather as one in Christ

To know pain is not to feel it
But to know our sin is to fight against it
By the saving sign of Christ
The mighty cross!




Carved In Stone (EP, January 11, 2026, Coleiosis Records) (Digital)

1. Distorted Tears 3:27
Your god have fall upon
The enormous quantity of self piety you keep
And of course, your treasure: your dog
The one you pervert and keep as the most divine
Even when you think he have to do what you say
Because you cry in front of God and pay him condolences for your sins
But you never really changed
So you call it your god
When in reality you act as it's your dog: the one you amuse

2. Falling And Rising 3:57
Falling and rising, we are living
That's the way
You're never up
You're never down
You're on your way

3. Inner Denial 3:54
Spirits and demons are heading my way
With inner denial I must retain
There is no escape for the one who relapse
They gonna suck you out like an old dress

The glorious Lord came to save me
He crushed the seed of unholy lust
With pleasure I see my children happy
Lord gave me the bleeding trust

4. Seeking The Divine 3:01
The flames that once carried
My inner strength
Had been extinguished with spirit
So I don't starve neither be consumed by them
Now I command as servant of the most high
Judging the nations to come
And Lord of the apocalypse
The end of days shall not enter my flesh
For the spirit of Yahweh brought me life eternal

5. Tasting The Bitter 2:56
Don't sweet tastes sweeter
After you eat the bitter?
Don't pain feel comfort
When you're holding to something?
Hold on and haste with purpose
Don't walk away from you
Embrace the bitter you
He sent the rough so you gain space
To wear you out like an old dress
Then you will be ready to receive

6. Waiting The Day 2:54
There is a contradiction we can't embrace
We think we know ourselves
It happens sometimes we are the opposite of what we believe we are
In secret you know it but you won't admit
It's not ignorance or naivety
It's pure malice
Strategy to win and conquer
To use and abuse
Sin do this to us
Self-preservation don't scream
And you think you're good and kind
Because you feel it
But feelings deceive you
We are a hell of a show
But Lord speaks in whispers
