The chains of this world
Have been broken
The chains of lies

Been shown in his Word
That there is a better way
Being saved by his grace

We are humbled by his Word

4. The Lord's Prayer 4:42
Our Father who are in Heaven
Hallowed be 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
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
Forever and ever
Amen

As Jesus Christ died four our sins
Our hearts long to be like him
He fills our hearts with compassion
He guides us through his love

As we pray every day
We open up our hearts
As we pray every day
We seek his guidance

One God
One truth
For all eternity

Saint Nick's Open Palm (single, April 4, 2026, Independent) (Digital)

1. Saint Nick's Open Palm 3:57
In a world full of lies will I cave?
Or will I be the keeper of Truth?
A Truth worth losing life for
Will I cease throwing down my cross?

I could breeze comfortably through this life
To leave another corrupt rotten body
But to live for Truth requires suffering
Others mock and point and laugh
For they refuse to know
Others claim this very same faith
Yet slander God with lies

Death to heresy
Cast the lies to the flames
Death to heresy
I will not taint His holy name

Your feelings ache at the passion for Truth
I won't affirm the lies of those who run from Christ

The very same who claim
To love the True, Living God
Will deny His divinity for the praise of others

God forbid that ever be me

Humble me if I ever exalted myself
If I cling to pride and lies




Demo (April 12, 2026, Independent) (Digital)

1. Welcome To Van Buren Street (Intro) 2:26
We are Israel

The gates of hell will not prevail

2. Saint Nick's Open Palm 3:57
In a world full of lies will I cave?
Or will I be the keeper of Truth?
A Truth worth losing life for
Will I cease throwing down my cross?

I could breeze comfortably through this life
To leave another corrupt rotten body
But to live for Truth requires suffering
Others mock and point and laugh
For they refuse to know
Others claim this very same faith
Yet slander God with lies

Death to heresy
Cast the lies to the flames
Death to heresy
I will not taint His holy name

Your feelings ache at the passion for Truth
I won't affirm the lies of those who run from Christ

The very same who claim
To love the True, Living God
Will deny His divinity for the praise of others

God forbid that ever be me

Humble me if I ever exalted myself
If I cling to pride and lies

3. Are You Asking God For Protection From Bigfoot? 4:43
Oh pure Mother
I run to you again
A wretch before the Queen of virgins
Implore your Son to help me
I've ran to the mud again
After just having bathed in the heavenly water

Running for protection under your veil
You bring my pleas to the almighty throne

Heaven's most pure queen
Your chastity abhorred by this sinful world
Conceiving with no defilement
Pinnacle of obedience

Surpassing the angels
You who conceived the Lord made flesh
Lady Panagia
Implore His mercy

The Saints look to you as their intercessor
See me beneath them all
A great cloud of witnesses
Lifting me with prayer

Hedonist that I am
I feel so low before you
Immaculate purity
Victorious over sin

Assist me and deliver me
Protect me from the enemy
And make me an inheritor
Of blessed life eternal

4. Dead Bart Returns 4:28
Great abyss, I stare
Why do I turn away?
I wanted this
I wanted to go astray
Oh burning fire
All consuming God
Let me find comfort
Take not away Your grace

I leave behind a dirty trail of iniquity
As I look ahead into a deep grave

Death, your sting has been erased
It is your grave I also stare into
But still the fact remains
I will become dust again

Another day slips by
What have I offered?
Another selfish lie
As the grave gets closer
All I can do is plea
To You, Consuming Fire
I need your mercy
A sinner approaching his grave

I call upon You Christ my God
Smashing the gates of hades
Undoing the curse of death
Smashing the artillery of Satan

There's a gate in hades smashed to pieces
There's a God whose mercy endures
There's a cloud of witnesses to hear me
There's a moment right now to repent

So let me go in peace
When it's all said and done
Let me take up this cross
And grant me the strength to carry it

Lord have mercy on my soul
Release me from death

Conquer The Nefarious (single, August 23, 2025, Independent) (Digital)

1. Conquer The Nefarious 2:45
Rebuked in Jesus' name, not in my power but by His name demons flee and believe and tremble and immediately recognize his deity
Behold the Lord of host
Behold the Lord of host
Behold the Lord of host
In the name of Jesus I cast you out
Compelled to beg to become one with the swine
Keep your hands off God's property
The power of Christ compels you
Your authority ends
You are not welcome here
This temple is not your home

Lustfull chaos breeds internal
Rebuked in Jesus name not in my power but by His name demons flee
And believe and tremble and immediately recognize his deity
This is spiritual warfare
(Oof oof)
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains me for war

The world behind me, the cross before me
The world behind me, the cross before me
The world behind me, the cross before me
No turning back, no turning back
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me, still I will follow
No turning back, no turning back
My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus
My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus

Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Je-
"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed" though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

Micah Of Tarsus (single)

May 11, 2026, Coleiosis Records (Digital)
May 19, 2026, Independent (Digital)

1. Micah Of Tarsus 3:12
Blood on my hands
He washed it away
I put down the glock
To carry my cross, repent, and pray
Blood on my hands
He washed it away
Had to put down the glock
To carry my cross, repent, and pray

Dead in the gutter, I lost control
Mama kept praying that God would save my soul

I still don't understand, tear drops on my face
Judge said numbers, God said "grace"
Steel bar shadows, pressed on my chest
Opened that Book, couldn't catch my breath

Blood on my hands
He washed it away
I put down the glock
To carry my cross, repent, and pray
Blood on my hands
He washed it away
Had to put down the glock
To carry my cross, repent, and pray

Read about thieves hung on a tree
One cursed out, one said remember me
If He could save him, He could save me too
My knees hit the concrete, my heart cried for you

Dead in the gutter, I lost control
Mama kept praying that God would save my soul

Set free
From that old set
New name
New breath
My past
Can't chain my neck
His scars
Paid my debt

The testimony of my friend Micah
Changed by the love of the God
Reposed as a loving husband and father
But many of us were once like Saul of Tarsus
The chain breaker can crush what binds you

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death
Hell weeps
Eternal memory




FAILURE 2 DECHRISTIANIZE (EP, June 16, 2026, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

1. F2DSLAMDOWN 1:21
This is Lament With Piety!
They tried to kill us, but no matter the bloodshed
No matter the bloodshed, no matter the murder the blood fertilizer, the soil
This is Orthodox Christian slam down
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Another flower blooms from the earth
Failure to dechristianize
(Try try try harder)
Failure to dechristianize
(Try try try harder)

2. I Have Decided To Follow Jesus 2:37
The world behind me, the cross before me
The world behind me, the cross before me
The world behind me, the cross before me

I have decided to follow Jesus
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me, still I will follow
No turning back, no turning back
My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus
My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?

3. Salvific Thorn 3:08
Salvation is a process of trails and tribulations
Seeing yourself as the Proverbs fool and quoting Romans 7
The cycle is repeating
I'm weeping
Ashamed of my many sins
How many times will I repent?
The cycle repeating
I'm weeping
Ashamed of my many sins
How many times will I repent?
Oh will I forgive myself?
God please forgive me
Will I forgive myself?
God forgive me
This thorn in my flesh is profitable for my salvation as I struggle everyday and pray to God for relief
But I give Him glory 'cuz this sanctifies me
Please don't be fooled by your pride
Just 'cuz you've had a good stride
Soon enough you won't see the speck in your eyes as you judge your brother's crimes
Will
This
Suffering
End
Sanctify
Salvation is a process of trails and tribulations
Seeing yourself as the Proverbs fool and quoting Romans 7
The cycle is repeating
I'm weeping
Ashamed of my many sins
How many times will I repent?
The cycle repeating
I'm weeping
Ashamed of my many sins
How many times will I repent?
Oh will I forgive myself?
God please forgive me
Will I forgive myself?
God forgive me
This thorn in my flesh is profitable for my salvation as I struggle everyday and pray to God for relief
But I give Him glory 'cuz this sanctifies me

4. Micah Of Tarsus 3:12

5. Pursuit Of Endurance 3:32
Weights and fellowship are things that we all really need
Cut that rhetoric about being a lone wolf
Come and see
You have a purpose
Remember who you are Christian man
This applies to us all equally
Saint Lifter
Lament With Piety
Dark Predictions
2026
Crushing the head of Satan under our heels as he bows before the name of Christ
Go lift something
Made in the image of our mighty God
My temple is his
When I am weak He is strong
He carried my sins
Praise Him from whom all blessings flow
This breath of life
This strength in my bones
I will not waste this gift
Take hold of your cross and lift
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales
Rather, train yourself to be godly
For physical training is of some value
But godliness has value for all things
Holding promise for both the present life and the life to come
This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance
That is why we labor and strive
Because we have put our hope in the living God
Who is the Savior of all people
And especially of those who believe
That is why we labor and strive
Because we have put our hope in the living God
Who is the Savior of all people
Lift something
Lift something
Lift something
The weight of the cross was carried for you
We all got the same 24 hours
Don't be hater on those who utilize
I understand mental exhaustion
We must fill our minds with the Words of Christ
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow
For tomorrow will worry about itself
Each day has enough trouble of its own
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak"
(Isaiah 40:29)
"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 41:10)

6. Ideation Prison 3:36
Longing for the desert
To forsake all I've known
But I can't escape me
My sins they live within me
Lenten Season shows us the truth about ourselves
Crawling toward the eucharist
My body craves the path to hell
My flesh relentless
Depraved and twisted
My thoughts they flourish
Blossomed abhorrent
One, prostration
Two, prostration
Three, prostration
Four, clenching prayer rope
An "our Father"
A "hail Mary"
Repeated at my icon wall
My baptism draws near
Demons attack viciously
Most holy Theotokos save us
Lucid daydreams of me hanging
Lord this feels so real
I rely upon your strength
This takes much more than zeal
If not for the Lord my God I would never live to see the fruits of my good works or the salvation of my family
Won't pretend I know anything except that Christ is Lord
The one upon that cross is why I fight this war
Jesus conquered death so I wouldn't have to
Cruse this urge for suicide
God I give my life to you
My flesh relentless
Depraved and twisted
My thoughts they flourish
Time to give it to God
Our Father 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 debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one
Holy God
Holy Mighty
Holy Immortal
Have mercy on us
Have mercy on us
Most Holy Theotokos
Save us Most Holy Theotokos
Save us Most Holy Theotokos
Save us
Lord Jesus Christ
Son of God have mercy on us sinners
Lord Jesus Christ
Son of God have mercy on us sinners
This is prayer in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit
Amen

7. Millstone Mercy 3:09
Where is your god you follow
The one whom you praise with the 400 prophets who ignored your bloodied shouts
Or the one who feeds on infants that you serve to him on a silver platter
As if they do not matter
Yes it pleases them
Bialzabub, Baal, Molech
Baphomet, and Lucifer
The ones you pledge allegiance
You are legion
An icon of Herod's army
Doing his work
And he's always hungry
You must repent of murder
Come to Christ
And He will save you from the children herders
The antichrists who promise freedom and success
All it costs contributes to the holocaust of infant flesh
How many pounds must be discarded by this eradication
Until we feel the weight of thirty percent missing from a generation
And for the young and adolescent
Those same demons take joy in the molesting of innocence
These people follow the same gods
No matter the name the offerings the same
Any age, there's no limit
We have surpassed the carnality of Sodom and Gomorrah
The grim reality of what mankind does to human angels
And as they play victim they're laughing in our faces
This must end
Bring back the millstones for those protected by the system
Protected by a predatory government
Weaponizing freedom at the expense of the youth
Using predictive programming to deceive you
Bring back the millstones
Let's get biblical
Because the system protects them all and it's comical
Until you realize the government is full of puppets on strings and the true masters indulge in all of these things freely
You know who's in control
You know who's in control
It's right in front of our eyes
You know who's in control
And they want our children to serve them to their gods

8. Conquer The Nefarious 2:45
Rebuked in Jesus' name, not in my power but by His name demons flee and believe and tremble and immediately recognize his deity
Behold the Lord of host
Behold the Lord of host
Behold the Lord of host
In the name of Jesus I cast you out
Compelled to beg to become one with the swine
Keep your hands off God's property
The power of Christ compels you
Your authority ends
You are not welcome here
This temple is not your home

Lustfull chaos breeds internal
Rebuked in Jesus name not in my power but by His name demons flee
And believe and tremble and immediately recognize his deity
This is spiritual warfare
(Oof oof)
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war
Blessed by the Lord my rock who trains me for war
Be gone

He Is... (single, April 3, 2026, Rottweiler Records) (Digital)

1. He Is... 4:45
He Is...
Lord! Lord!
He is the Lord!
The Son of God, the Chosen One, the Author and the Finisher of our faith.
The Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Shepherd and Bishop of souls.
His love absolutely has no bounds.
He is exalted above the Earth.
He is the only one that's good.
And he surely will be coming back.
Satan even knows the power of the Cross.
Demons must admit that the blood still works.
Every knee will bow and tongue confess.
Lamb of God, Chief Cornerstone, Good Shepherd, Fountain of Living Waters.
Teacher, Prophet, Advocate, High Priest, and the King of the Jews.
You are ours and we are yours.
All the Heavens celebrate you.
You are the Champion of Heaven and the glory is yours.
Jesus you are due the honor.
Jesus you are due the glory.
All kings shall bow and all tongues proclaim, that you are the resurrected... King!
Satan, you have no power over me.
Jesus Christ was exalted about high.
You thought the nails would hold Him down, but little did you know that there'd be no bounds.
Lucifer, you fool, did you know I was created in the image of God.
You think you're winning through humanity sinning.
Satan, how does it feel?
To know that Christ's victory is real.
Satan, how does it feel?
To know that you were cast from the Heavens!
If you choose to dishonor the King, just know you will never win.
If you choose to blaspheme His name, your eternity will never be the same.
The Son of God, the Chosen One, the Author and the Finisher of our faith.
The Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Shepherd and Bishop of souls.
The King...Jesus Christ...Forever...the Messiah.
Let us rejoice and let us celebrate and let us worship!
He is the light...
He is the way...
...And He will come back!
