First Stone Cast
05:58
|
|||
Dull the senses with apocalyptic scaffold
We dress this house with lies
Nothing sacred lives in me
This vessel waits for the shattering
The earth falls away
As I suffer for the past
A sin of my own making
First Stone Cast
No pride before my fall
The fear it holds me fast
I did this to myself
First Stone Cast
Colors twisted black and red
The scripture melts and burns
Carved in script my flesh the testament
I only did this to myself
The earth falls away
As I suffer for the past
A sin of my own making
First Stone Cast
No pride before my fall
The fear it holds me fast
I did this to myself
First Stone Cast
Condemn this life
Abandoned from the flock
The bloodiest judge
Is the one who hangs himself

Devil's Tongue
05:33
|
|||
I am apprentice to a thousand lies
The tower torn asunder
False arise
We move in tandem, cover the tread
Use the past for our deceit,
Truth is dead
We create a hell of our own
At least the mirror tells me so
We speak the Devil’s Tongue
We speak the Devil’s Tongue
We can no longer run
The lie is woke from the Devil’s Tongue
Innocence is marched to its demise
This painted mask will blind me
To my lies
I bear the scars of a life impaired by fear
The blood of lies have run, the light can’t
Reach me here
We create a hell of our own
At least the mirror tells me so
We speak the Devil’s Tongue
We speak the Devil’s Tongue
We can no longer run
The lie is woke from the Devil’s Tongue

Sin of Memory
06:17
|
|||
In the dark we keep repeating
Past mistakes that we have made
These hands are bruised from covering my eyes
To the lies I can’t escape
I’ve lost count of the infractions
This sin of memory still lives
I have become that which I fear
A fractured version of your tainted life
The ghosts have etched their names
Upon these rusted walls
A litany of transgression
Flesh is carved with the signs of moral trespass
And the dark is closing in
I’ve lost count of the infractions
This sin of memory still burns
It still burns

Hollow
05:02
|
|||
Never thought it would end this way
But every choice led me back to the hole in the world
A pound of flesh left in tribute
For the crows and a song for the dead has left me
Hollow
The madness grows from the vacuum left by the
Hollow
The wolves have fed and there’s nothing left but the
Hollow
I failed the chance that you gave me
The mirror cracked and the shards reflect all that I’ve done
A life led empty and broken
No scars to heal, the wounds lie open and black inside it’s
Hollow
The madness grows from the vacuum left by the
Hollow
The wolves have fed and there’s nothing left but the
Hollow

Pride
03:03
|
|||
Run the noose ‘round the neck of the innocent
String them up as a sign of their one offense
Laid to rest all of those who would disobey
Eat the flesh of the weak and their families
You discount our growing anger at your lies
We’ll rise up and kill your hatred with our pride
Play the game by your rules take your kids away
Hit the spot where you’re weak - in your bank accounts
Ban your speech and your faith and your gender roles
How’s it feel to be one of the marginal?
You discount our growing anger at your lies
We’ll rise up and kill your hatred with our pride
No longer filled with your lies
No longer what you have made me
Close the wounds, close the veins
And seal the flesh with my pride
Pride

8. |

Whispered prayers and fractured psalms
Are left to the wind of forgetfulness
The knotted lines of life have choked
The light and the heat that had given me life
And I am left to wander lost
In a desert of my own construction
Nothing here
Emptiness
Broken peace for a broken mind
I can’t remember your face
No words
No signs
As we look to a forgotten light
We are paper, our skin burns and falls
The ash never mattered until it was gone
No outline remains of my previous life
Just an echo of dust and sick scent of death
I am not what I was, but still condemned
For the role of a person I no longer see
Dreams of sand
An open gate
I take my chance with the devils inside
I can’t remember your name
No words
No signs
As we look to a forgotten light
No hope
No sight
As we pray to a forgotten light

To Dance With Ghosts
06:36
|
|||
Grasping at the emptiness
Throw away all scripture
We cling to facile dreams
In fear of the unknown
We dance with the ghosts of our selves
Thinking the past is real
Ignoring all signs of our life
Condemned to be blind
The sour taste of sin
Consumed by bitter pride
We struggle to look past our fears
Even as we pass them on
We dance with the ghosts of our selves
The steps of regret well worn
Our idols are carved in our flesh
To summon the will to persist
Look to the plague within
Look to the witness left
They feast upon your sins
They find you in the dark of life

Started as a joke band name crowd-sourced on Facebook, then turned into something else: therapy through
music.
Thanks for checking out one man working through his personal demons, badly, through the music that he loves.
