1. All Is Lust 3:21
Optical caressing
Androgynous whores
Fertilize seed of flesh
Vitalize carnal urge

Television venue
Aims to gratify
Placebo products
With a phallus keel

The colors of crave
Cover four walls
Without a door
A forced pleasure

Love is, love is
Love is lost
Love is lust

Singalong vogues
Two-pronged words
Filter deviance
Subliminal lechery

Undermining moral
Treading true values
Pestilent phrases
Extolling erotica

The colors of crave
Cover four walls
Without a door
A forced pleasure

Love is, love is
Love is lost
Love is lust

2. Bent Spines 2:53
Ascending via
Human ladder
To a distant
Peak-less top
Golden touch
Hole in the heart
Mouth-gagged moral
Greed drives onwards

Open palm, clenched fist
Soothing bribes, death blows
Methods shift
Back and forth
Victims change
Winners stay

Clearing path
Stomping life
Bleed-dry all
And gauge our eyes
"High-steam-roller"
Soundproof windows
Muted screams
Damped reality

Open palm, clenched fist
Soothing bribes, death blows
Methods shift
Back and forth
Victims change
Winners stay

Augmentation of blood money
Heightens leeches to the sky
Grasping sunshine of all men
And claiming as their own
As their own
Only their own
Their own

These giants feel so safe
With their heads reach-less
Rest assure their necks are safe
We'll determinedly break their legs
Break their legs
Break their legs
Break their legs

3. Occupatism 4:36
Charlatan's offer to edify
Susceptible minds gladly accept
Dazed by the rich rhetoric
They warm under his clutching wing

Quenching from a poisoned well
That past vipers have spewed out
Cryptic letters subjectively change
Can the truth be fluctuating?

Deepening a flat line
Sisyphus role-playing
Leeching carousel
Vacuity

Questions breed more questions
Extending blur over haze
"The golden dawn" brings nighttime
A snake choking on its tail

4. Vocalizer 2:46
Pouring down his concept
Showering with fire masses
Arsoning accepting hearts
For goals aimed by his need

Vocalizing without a thought
Of the triggers in the rows
Unraveling to motion
Consequences without a roll-back

Vocalizer
Amp-ed dominating
Playing his song
For you to subdue

Levitating himself high
And the herd is lifting him more
Fragile man being molded
Into an image of a god

Commands that you embrace
Award him with a smile
That he puts on as he...
Washes his blood-stained hands

Vocalizer
Amp-ed dominating
Playing his song
For you to subdue

"Jump, shout, stay"
"Jump, shout, stay"
"Jump, shout, stay"
"Do as I say"

"Jump, shout, stay"
"Jump, shout, stay"
"Jump, shout, stay"
Blindly obey

5. Collateral Implosion 4:53
Lord, I wanna thank You
For this sight that You gave me
To be able to perceive
The beauty of Your design
Lord, please forgive me for my...
Debasing of a soul into flesh
On which I fasten my eyes
And foul my heart with

Lord, I wanna thank You
For this hearing that You gave me
To be able to delight
In harmonies of Your design
Lord, please forgive me for the...
Dulcet whispers of wickedness
Towards which I lean my ear
And foul my heart with

Lord, I wanna thank You
For this taste that You gave me
To be able to ingest
The savors of Your design
Lord, please forgive me for the...
Poison rhetoric arrows
That my tongue spews out
And fouls my heart with

Lord, I wanna thank You
For this mind that You gave me
To be able to comprehend
Complexity of Your design
Lord, please forgive me for the...
Odious conceptions
That bloat pride which my brain
Adopts and fouls my heart with

Lord, I wanna thank You
For these feelings that You gave me
To be able to assimilate
The deluge of Your love
Lord, please forgive me for the
Arrhythmic sentiment that bitters
That my heart pumps
In
And...

Blinds me
For You
Deafens me
For You
Mutes me
For You
Petrifies me
For Your embrace

6. This World... 2:45
Lifeline falling sand
With a frozen direction
Crack-less glass wall
Inhaling secondary air

All comes to pass
Chewed and drained by the mouth of time
But cast no stone
Its purpose is crucial

This world is hanging
By a thread
By a thread...
Around its neck

Instrument of truth
Peeling away the gloss
Core stands striped
Power depletes fast
Once no mask
Covers vanity

Yearning for flesh and skin
Veneer falls off carrion reeks

Chasing dreams of silver and gold
Awake and perceive the polished rust

Pile up knowledge
Tome skyscrapers
Futile effort put
Cardinal argument - death

7. Motive, Pivot, Time And Blunder 1:25
My vocal outburst
A surge of compassion
Aims to perforate the flesh
A hole for the seed of life
...The Word of God

Raising questions of eternal
Conclusion doors to forever
Will you clasp the rot
Or permanence of bliss
...Heaven or hell

Here is where you choose
Now is when you choose
Only with a pulse
Can you decide

Exploits fail the purpose
A key that doesn't fit
Into the doors of salvation
Only a pleasing epitaph
...Brief echo of existence
Word of God...
Heaven or hell...
Accept Christ...
Or burn forever

8. Paving Dream 2:25
Carried by His grace
I let the Spirit take me
To planes of true purpose
And desire
Uncorrupted and...
Unsoiled by my flesh
Satsifactory
To the furthest extent

I dream
And instigate
I dream
And instigate

Possessing a tongue of fire
A dividing sword of light
The truth that amputates
Rotting dead from the eternal

O my Lord
Please withhold my flesh
Give me Thy net and shape me
Into the fisherman of men

I dream
And instigate

Let me bear fruit
In Your name
Because solemnly
I desire to...
Flood the earth
With Your name
And love that is You
And only You

9. Satan's Marrow 2:23
Enshrining of the deceiver
The eyeless hollows make
Seeking for completion
They fill the void with vapor

Mutual benefit illusion
The restless itch of sin
Poisonous blood infusion
Malignant friend's gift

Flaunting with their chokers
Clinging to card-tower empire
Visions of promised claims
Crafted by the lie itself

Satan lies
Satan lies
Satan lies
He just lies
Satan lies
Satan lies
Satan lies
That's all he does

Over your master
Every millisecond of...

Slither In Flames (EP, July 8, 2018, Independent) (Digital)

1. What Loss? 4:51
An infidel to your false religion, you behead me
What effect will this have, will it damn or save thee?
Facing the machete, Holy Spirit give me courage to slay the fear
Wretched fearful flesh is all I am here
Help me God to be Christ-like and obedient in death
Testify of Christ, saving grace with my final breath
In witnessing hearts let the name Jesus Christ stir
Turn to Christ and repent 'cause life passes by in one quick blur
The loss of this life and all I have apart from Christ to be counted as dung
Word more truthful have not been spoken or sung
Let my testimony pour forth from me just as the blood soon shall
True to the Lord on cannot fail
Tell of Christ's glory before my limbs no longer fail
In Christ, to die is to gain, not loss
Sin and the old serpent defeated upon the cross
All efforts of the false religion Islam are worthless and done in vain
Turn to Christ and have eternal life with no more death or pain




Anthems Of Nocturnal Praise (EP)

July 16, 2020, Independent (Digital)
May 5, 2021, Coleiosis Records (Digital)

As the top artwork suggests, it was originally released as a single (What Loss? Bone Savage Edition).  All other tracks were added later on, along with the altering of the artwork.

1. What Loss? (Bone Savage Edition) 6:57
An infidel to your false religion, you behead me
What effect will this have, will it damn or save thee?
Facing the machete, Holy Spirit give me courage to slay the fear
Wretched fearful flesh is all I am here

Help me God to be Christ-like and obedient in death
Testify of Christ, saving grace with my final breath
In witnessing hearts let the name Jesus Christ stir
Turn to Christ and repent 'cause life passes by in one quick blur

The loss of this life and all I have apart from Christ to be counted as dung
Word more truthful have not been spoken or sung
Let my testimony pour forth from me just as the blood soon shall
True to the Lord on cannot fail
Tell of Christ's glory before my limbs no longer fail

In Christ, to die is to gain, not loss
Sin and the old serpent defeated upon the cross
All efforts of the false religion Islam are worthless and done in vain
Turn to Christ and have eternal life with no more death or pain

2. Glory For Our King 3:06
Without him this world's just a giant mess
Every knee will bow, every tongue shall confess

Allelu-Alleluia

Jesus is worthy of all praise
He's the light of our darkest days

Allelu-Alleluia

He is the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings
The Lion of Judah has come, and it's redemption and peace he brings

3. Slither In Flames 6:25
There is no such thing as satanic might
Facing Almighty God the devil is not able to put up much of a fight
Victory over God something the wicked shall never see
Light floods in, darkness shall no longer be
All done in vain that which the evil do
Their dreams of reigning shall never come true

A created being wages a vain, evil, and untenable war against the righteous and holy Lamb
Light burns away the darkness exposing ever diabolical scam
He parades perverse images before the eyes of men to stoke ever evil desire
Killing, destroying, pausing pain in vain, soon the old serpent shall taste the fire

Victorious we are written in the Lamb's book of names
Defeated and left to slither in flames
Victorious we are written in the Lamb's book of names
Defeated and left to slither in flames

1. Path Of Darkness 2:23
2. Nothing To Live For 2:23
3. Maggots And Scabs 2:21




Pray For Nothing (album)

March 11, 2011, Sevared Records (CD)
May 1, 2011, Sevared Records (Digital)
June 8, 2020, Sevared Records (Digital)

1. The Common Descent 1:25
2. Nothing To Live For 2:01
If my misery could be weighed and my troubles be put on sales
They would outweigh all the sands of the sea
That is why I spoke impulsively, for the Almighty has struck me down
O that I might have my request, that God would grant my desire
I wish He would crush me, I wish He would reach out His hand
And kill me at least I can take comfort in this

3. Sins Of Man 3:12
Man was born in sin
We will die in sin
We can only beg
For forgiveness
Repent of your sins
To pay my debt
Surely means death
For my sins are many
I cannot find solace
My spirit is restless
My heart's heavy with dread
Will I see the gates of Heaven

4. Evilution 1:49
I felt his presence once when I was a child
Faith is not easily sustained
They are not as they seem, I've been losing faith
And finding knowledge, searching for answers
Finding lies and deception on both sides
Mixed answers, does evolution disprove God?
I can't believe the world is only 600 years old
All the facts and evidence, can't hide your lies

5. The Great Blasphemer 2:32
Then I saw a beast rising up from the sea
It had 7 heads and 10 horns
With 10 crowns on its horns, and written on each hand
Were names that blasphemed God
I saw that on the heads of the beast
Seemed wounded beyond recovery but the fatal wound was healed
Then the beast was allowed to speak
Great blasphemies against God
And the beast was allowed to wage war on the holy people and to conquer them
All the people on this world worshiped the beast
They are the ones whose names were not written
In the Book of Life, the book that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered

6. Fire Unafaned Will Consume Him 2:21
7. Path In Darkness 2:01
How long will you torment me, it is true
I have gone astray
My error remains my concern alone
Then I know that God has wronged me
And drawn His net around me
He has shrouded my path in darkness
He has stripped me of my honor
And removed His crown from my head
His anger burns against me
He counts me among His enemies
I am nothing but skin and bones
I have escaped the skin of my teeth
Will you ever get enough of my flesh

8. Pray For Nothing 1:49
I am ashamed to be Christian, your judgement and hatred
Misguided murals, this undeserved sense of self-superiority
I can see through you, I know who you are
My sins are my own, not for you to judge
You pray for waiz, I pray for nothing
If God wills it, I will have it
If you will it, you ask God for it
You're burning the foran
Teaching violence and hatred
Only vengeance is God's

9. The Great Prostitute 1:46
I will show you the judgement
That is going to come
On the great prostitute
Who rules over many waters
The kings of the world
Have committed adultery
Have been drunk by the wine
Of her immorality
A mysterious name
Written on her head
Babylon
The great mother
I could see she was drunk
Drunk with the blood
Of God's holy people

10. Flying Spaghetti Monster 1:51
Is it so crazy to believe in God
Or believe rocks collided and made all this
The world is definitely billions of years old
That doesn't mean God doesn't exist
We all have this narrow-minded opinion of God
Our God is the right God
If you don't believe you go to hell

11. God Pounds His Nails 2:01
It was once written
God's will be done
Whether it was justified
Or unmerciful
Forgive me Father
For I have sinned
Endless suffering
From within
Millions of lives
Millions to God
Everything must die
Death is certain
Life is not

12. Maggots And Scabs 2:16
Is not all of human life struggle
Our lives are like that of a slave
My body is covered with maggots and scabs
My skin breaks open, oozing with pus
My days end without hope
Never again will I feel happiness
I would rather by strangled
Rather die than suffer like this
I hate my life, and don't want to go on living
If I have sinned, what have I done to you
O watcher of all humanity
Why not just forgive my sin
And take away this guilt
For soon I will lie down, in the dust and die

13. Lambs To The Slaughter 2:39
I will bring them down
Like lambs to the slaughter
Like rams and goats
To be sacrificed
Violence will erupt in the land
As the leaders fight against each other
For the time is surely coming
When I will punish the great city
And all her idols
Her whole land will be disgraced
And her dead will lie in the streets

14. Guinevere 2:31

Nyctalopia (EP, August 17, 2020, Independent) (Digital)

1. Hell 1:04
2. Gutted Body 1:57
Spiritually blind
Gutted out
Just a hollowed shell
Wondering in the dark
Numbing your pain
Torturing your soul
You're just ready for your end

Flames
Consuming me
Damned
For all of eternity

3. Searching 2:08
Searching for reasons
Trying to understand
The one question
I kept asking myself is why

Trying to understand why
Why You allowed so much pain upon this earth
If You're all-powerful why not correct the problems
Instead of letting them play out

Fear has held me back
Afraid to trust you
Because you are something
That my feeble mind cannot understand

It's time for me to let go and trust you the Creator of all
For Your reasons are far above mine
It's time for Satan and his lies to leave my head
Satan you are dead to me! Christ is Lord!

Satan you are dead to me! Christ is Lord!

4. Lost Souls 2:51
Oh God they can't hear Your voice
They don't know Your love

Sinking in sorrow
Drowning in despair
As the world feeds them lies

Sinking in sorrow
Drowning in despair
As the world feeds them lies

Lost souls with no guide die
As the churches sit in the comfort of silence
Oh Lord please have mercy on them
Oh Lord please have mercy on them

Send me to a soul who's searching

Rise up you warriors of Christ
And wake up a world that's asleep
Point those lost souls to Christ that peace may overcome them

5. FEAR 3:52
Eyes widened
Heart racing
I cannot move
Fear takes control

Isolation rips my soul

Hiding from people
Numbing my emotions
Suicidal thoughts
I'm not in control

I can no longer live life like this
There's got to be more to life than this
Oh God come and set me free
Set me free

Say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." (Isaiah 35:4)




Slamming Bells (single, December 25, 2020, Independent) (Digital)

One of the first songs recorded, now with updated sound.

1. Slamming Bells 1:20




Flesh Slayer (album, February 1, 2021, Independent) (Digital)

1. Flesh Slayer 2:27
Behold a mortal creature
Entrapped in a mass of flesh
A soul struggling to escape
As the flesh spreads its disease

In Christ a new creation
As this soul awakens the flesh around me attacks in the shape of my mortal self

They come with blood-filled eyes set to kill

My blade runs through one's cadaver
Another I disembowel
I stand strong with no fear
Slay the flesh that prays upon you
Strike fast, show no mercy
Get eviscerated by the flesh slayer

Reinforcement of demons empower the flesh with pricing lies
Their screams deafen the air as my blade slices through
I struggle to regain composure as they start to overpower

They come with blood-filled eyes set to kill

I can't win this war alone but with the power of Christ I will
Slay your flesh and feed your soul!

Slay your flesh
Feed your soul!

2. Ritual Of Filth 2:16
A man alone
Satan whispering lies
She claws at the mind
Eyes locked in a trance

Conscience ignored
Flesh craving flesh
To fill a fleshy desires
Now the ritual has begun

Perversion in the form of maggots crawling through the eyes
Brain slowly rots, turned into a putrid mass

Emotions raped
Evil shreds the heart
I followed the flesh's command
But my soul is still empty
Looking for a way out
Oh God please help me

I will decapitate this malignant demon
Destroy the temptations around me
Look to God for strength
For He is greater than who is in the world

3. Man's Wicked Heart 2:40
Who are you?
Who are you to tell me what to do?
I don't want to hear your voice

Evil thoughts
A killing tongue
Words to cut you down

Perverted eyes
And foul desires
Sought out to fulfill

This wicked generation
Living life with no God
This wicked generation
Living life straight to death

A heart stone cold
Constant refusal of God
Living in sin
Too blind to see God's grace

Your time has come
You stand before the throne
Awaiting your judgement

A book is open full of names but yours He cannot find
You have denied God and He has denied you
You weep bitterly as you realize the lie you've been living
As you sink deeper into a pit of flames for the rest of eternity

I rest in torment
For all eternity
I rest in torment
For all eternity

4. Fallen Nation 2:52
Degraded society
Narcissistic culture
Deranged children
Fed filth from the media
They tell you how to live
What to like and how to talk
Taught life is to please themselves
These lies will lead to death

Mass destruction
Media-driven hatred
Violence rule the streets
Killing for power
Controlled by fear
Politicians corrupting the system

Genetically-modified food
Legal drugs
Sexual-driven culture
Children left to raise themselves
Changing our God-given genders
Same-sex marriage
Corrupt politicians
We removed God and put our trust in a man

Brain-dead lost sheep
Blindly led down the path of hell
We'd rather live a feel-good life
And turn our backs on our creator
Do you think he'll just let you live?

Man is such a foolish creature
Inventing new types of evils
Discarding all morality
Making themselves god
Desensitized to their madness
They sit in darkness, blind, they can't see the light
And the cure's right in front of them

Brain-dead lost sheep
Blindly led down the path of hell
We'd rather live a feel-good life
And turn our backs on our creator
Do you think he'll just let you live?

Here is the wrath of God
Torn into pieces by your arrogance

Repent!!
Repent!!

5. Torn Fetus 2:16
Pain
Agony within the womb
Narcissistic mother
My life not worth hers

A "choice" presented to her
Slaughter her kid or let it live
Not willing to sacrifice her lifestyle

Poisoned
Impelled
And ripped apart

A life born straight to death
A child torn apart and thrown away
Massacre finally stops
The operation is complete
A scene of horror
The terrifying reality sets in
You just killed your kid

Poisoned
Impelled
And ripped apart

The choice she made
Now a regretted decision
She's now a murderer
Forever to live with the guilt and pain
She falls to her knees and cries aloud "What have I done..."

Children are a gift from God
Who are you to take their life?

6. Repulsive Cycle 2:32
Sleeping inside of me is a creature of habit
An abomination that attacks my soul
It consumes the light and feeds on darkness
Taking possession of this maimed body

Starving for light as my soul sinks deeper into a pit of darkness
Delusion and doubt are reality
Telling myself life's not worth living

Oh God!
Come wake me up
Before it's too late!

Consuming lies
Repulsive cycle
Now depressed
Repulsive cycle
Darkened mind
Repulsive cycle
Blackened heart
Repulsive cycle

I'm a worthless sack of flesh
A fallen creation who failed his master
In the midst of this surrounding darkness
I ask my creator "Was I worth your Son to die?"

Was I worth your Son to die...

7. Gutted Body 1:57
Spiritually blind
Gutted out
Just a hollowed shell
Wondering in the dark
Numbing your pain
Torturing your soul
You're just ready for your end

Flames
Consuming me
Damned
For all of eternity

8. Searching 2:08
Searching for reasons

That my feeble mind cannot understand

It's time for me to let go and trust you the Creator of all
For Your reasons are far above mine
It's time for Satan and his lies to leave my head
Satan you are dead to me! Christ is Lord!

Satan you are dead to me! Christ is Lord!

9. FEAR 3:43
Eyes widened
Heart racing
I cannot move
Fear takes control

Isolation rips my soul

Hiding from people
Numbing my emotions
Suicidal thoughts
I'm not in control

I can no longer live life like this
There's got to be more to life than this
Oh God come and set me free
Set me free

Say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." (Isaiah 35:4)

10. The Mind 2:30
11. The Killer In Me (Abated Mass Of Flesh cover) 2:32
How do You see me through Your eyes
Are You ashamed of me
They say You suffered on the cross
And paid my penalty
Circumstances, second chances
I live my life on repeat
If You're the God that they say You are
Can Your hand reach me
In a time of my emptiness
Through the faults of my wickedness
For the lack of my gratefulness
Can You make it stop
I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses with a heart so black
Was the weeping and the grieving
Intended for me
I am a killer of the innocent
A growing plague, a pestilence
I am the thorn that chokes the seed
The spiteful crown that made You bleed
When the ground consumes this waste
Remember me in the holy place
I saw You suffer on the cross that night
As I laughed and mocked the sight
I saw the flesh ripped from Your back
I joined the masses with a heart so black




Pit Riffs Against Evil (split, August 27, 2022, Independent) (Digital)

6. Nyctalopia - Suffered For Sin 2:16
Wickedness
Pure evil
The cancer grows
Spreading throughout the body
As sin consumes the mind
Hatred towards the holy one
Skin peeling away
Spikes driven into his limbs
Pinned to a tree
Hematidrosis
He takes his final breath
"Father why have you forsaken me?"
Taken from the cross
Placed into the tomb
Three days later
The stone rolled away
The grave is now empty
Death is defeated
Christ is risen
Death is defeated
Christ is risen

7. Nyctalopia - Vicious Disembodiment 2:07
As the dagger plunges deeper
Compelled by the power of the holy one
Demonic entities shudder in terror
Screams fill the air
As they are ripped apart
Limb by limb
Thrown into the pit
The ones who betrayed their creator
Tormented for eternity
Judgment has fallen

8. Nyctalopia - Lost Souls 2:41
Oh God they can't hear your voice
They don't know your love

Sinking in sorrow
Drowning in despair
As the world feeds them lies

Sinking in sorrow
Drowning in despair
As the world feeds them lies

Lost souls with no guide DIE!!!
As the churches sit in the comfort of silence
Oh Lord please have mercy on them
Oh Lord please have mercy on them

Send me to a soul who's searching

Rise up you warriors of Christ
And wake up a world that's asleep
Point those lost souls to Christ that peace my overcome them
