1. Muswell Hill

2. History of a Drowning Boy

[feat. Will Ramos]

This is the history of a drowning boy a lonely boy
Who grew into a man with a darkness rising

That passenger he took hold and gave birth to horror and apathy
All these events can be traced to that one unique moment when my eyes first gazed upon that old man's face

On that day my life had changed I needed to find a way to translate my obsession
So I traveled in search of an antidote which I found in the name of silence

In that vision I assimilated death I absorbed and became fear I transcended human form
My anatomy has become an engine of decease

I am drowning in the ecstasy watching their skin turn pale and gray
Lifeless eyes stare back at me
My blood is racing heart is pounding hands and fingers shake

My blood is racing my hands and fingers shake

All I ever wanted was some company
I became the author of tragedy

All I ever wanted was some company
So I led them by the hand into eternity
I became the author of tragedy
In ecstasy asphyxiate
All I ever wanted was some company
In a tomb of wood beneath me they stay
I became the author of tragedy
The world of man will never see the beauty in decay

Beneath these floorboards they lay
My friends

I am drowning in the ecstasy watching their skin turn pale and gray
Lifeless eyes stare back at me
My blood is racing heart is pounding hands and fingers shake

Their fate was sealed the moment they crossed into the house of decay
Their lives become my legacy
As their flesh gives way to time their surrogate tomb awaits

No headstones
No graves
No prayers
No tears

No eulogy for the damned
No roses by their names

I have become timeless I have become infinite
I am tied into eternity through selfish acts of malice

You will remember my name carved into the walls in the house of decay

In the house of decay

3. Seven Faces

[feat. Chad Ruhlig]

We are the keepers of war we are the takers of peace
We are the architects of history and the world that you know
We prey upon the weak and feast upon the dead
We sink our teeth into the hearts of men and tear them apart

Into the hearts of men we will sink our teeth

A species in kind from the cradle we climbed
Born from the absence and brought into reality
In fields of human skin gardens of ignorance
In shallow souls of men our names will be heard

In this industry we manufacture greed
In this realm morality has become obsolete

In this realm a never ending cycle is formed in the shadows only to enslave in the name of profit

And when we have it all it will not be enough
Our avarice demands more and more and more

In the furnace of endless obsession we burn the dream of the American nation
And with the ashes of the dream in our hands a new order of the ages will come

The eye of providence shines

Our hunger knows no end we feast on the flesh of the dead
Our thirst cannot be quenched without the blood of man

There is a new age coming
When the kingdom falls
Then the world will know
We are forever tyrants

4. Savages

[feat. Dan Watson & Sims Cashion]

In the coming days there will be war
In the coming days there will be war
We are blinded by our ignorance
In the coming days there will be war

As the bells of freedom ring
They cry out for tolerance
In the shadow of hypocrisy
Is the illusion of humanity

A cloud of black smoke rises as we dredge up the past
The vision lost but the burden remains
We bite our nose off just to spite our own face

We can't change we can't grow we don't know we are the prey and we are the predator
We fill the streets with arrogance and gasoline and we devour everything that's on the fucking screen
We turn a blind eye to violence when it's their kind
Is this who we are

We will all suffer

When it all comes to surface we will see who is worthless
When it all comes out now

Welcome to the new reign where animals and men behave the same
Welcome to the new reign where the law of the land is hypocrisy

Black smoke swallows the sky as the blind lead the blind in circles
Black smoke swallows the sky the worst in us comes to surface

We are no better than the ones before us if we behave like savages
We are no better and we never will be
We are no better we never will be

Through a narrow lens of common vision is an image of desperation
We remain tethered to the past while we revel in our ignorance
We planted the seeds for progress but we reaped a fruitless harvest
With the new reign upon us the sun sets on the hope for tomorrow

Primordial creatures wallowing in the filth of their own demise
The only thing holding them together is belief in a blatant lie
Devouring flesh of their own
They will inevitably reap what they have sown

5. Rapture

[feat. Josh Frazier]

Carry us home

As the days bleed into night we face a darkness we can't escape
We are the lost
Give us a sign
Help us find our way

Further into the abyss we all fall
We're gasping for air
We're grasping for hope

Carry us home
Give us a sign

A beacon on the horizon promises to be our guide but if the embers fade will our hearts burn bright enough to show us the way

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Amidst the chaos before our eyes
We stand at the edge of the world face to face with oblivion

Have we gone too far
Was this all for nothing
Was this for nothing at all
As these days collapse we keep looking back with one thought in mind
Have we gone too far to find our way home

We'll leave behind a trail of our blood
To find our way out of here

Find our way out

A beacon on the horizon promises to be our guide but if the embers fade will our hearts burn bright enough to show us the way

Give us a sign
Show us the way

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Amidst the chaos before our eyes
We stand at the edge of the world face to face with oblivion
We'll lock our eyes on the sunset and try to chase the light

Have we gone too far
Was this all for nothing
Was this for nothing at all
As these days collapse we keep looking back with one thought in mind
Have we gone too far to find our way home

6. Carry The Earth

As we revolve around the sun I'm burdened with the end before me
As we revolve around the sun I'm searching for clarity

I've spent my whole life dragging my feet
Welding these chains that bind this weight to me
A heart of broken hope a mind of uncertainty

When the pain comes the fears exposed and a fragile man is left of me
When my eyes close will I exhale my last breath in agony

Underneath the weight of the end I feel the panic again
Underneath the weight of the end I bury my head in my hands

When the tide falls and the currents pull and wash me away
When the worms come and nothings left of me what will remain

Underneath the weight of the end I feel the panic again
Underneath the weight of the end I bury my head in my hands

When I woke from that dream short of breath and overcome with fear
As the innocence died the truth became clear
That night I felt the pressure of the burden
That night everything became real
Brought to my knees under the weight of the reality
Crushed by the chains that bind the world to my heartbeat

Searching for something more before time abandons me

So I carry the earth on my back
So I carry the earth on my back
I will carry the earth on my back
Until I reach the gates or I burn eternally

7. The Challenger

To the first and the last I ask why did you bring us here

Would you set fire to your own home just to burn the flesh of your children
Will I be damned by a god that I don't know while I spend my life searching for you

"Lest you perish in the way..."

(Through him with him in him the earth will be devoured by his jealousy)

(Make ready to slaughter the sons born after the flood
For the guilt of their fathers there will be no pity no mercy)

Because we ate the fruit just to learn the truth
He will lay his vengeance upon us

White
Red
Black and pale

Until the world burns
Until the flames rise
Until the seventh seal breaks and the trumpet sounds

Until the trumpet sounds

To the first and the last I ask why did you bring us here

Would you set fire to your own home just to burn the flesh of your children
Will I be damned by a god that I don't know while I spend my life searching for you

A jealous god above
A jealous god below
The fire and the flood
The venom and the sword
Bone of bone
Blood of blood
From father down to sun
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
These sins came unto us
Is this the word of god or the will of man

I look out at the world from atop this man made mountain
And my heart grows weary from the site
But with another deep breath I pull this from the inside
Creator watcher mover are you listening to me
I will scream these words with the fear of my sins
I challenge you to save your world without destroying what you've made

Would you set fire to your own home just to burn the flesh of your children
Will I be damned by a god I don't know
Will I waste my life searching for you?
