Inception

Verse1
Inception by deception
In the temple of lies
Dismember the members
Drawn and quartered in light
With their blood on the walls
And their guts on the floor
Full, the belly of the beast
With the priests and the whores
In the eyes of the masses
You are never unkind
Shifting shadows reveal
What you were all the time
Mutilating the wills
Of the little and wise
Your time will come
Chorus:
The world bathes in the blood
Of its victims
Casting them in the dust
Forever
Verse 2
Embodied in the body
Of what looks like a man
Holy Vestments adorning
With your malice in hand
You pluck out the eyes
Of the ones who might see
Dull, the feeling and the breathing
You’re the lying disease
Suffocating in shame
Hope is nowhere around
Broken, shattered, shards impaling
Tears of terror run down
You bless as they go and
Resume to your lies
Your time will come!
Chorus
The world bathes in the blood
Of its victims
Casting them in the dust
Forever
Chorus
The world bathes in the blood
Of its victims
Casting them in the dust
Forever

Verse1
I kept the face
For faces looking back my way
I read the words on the pages
Thru the phases of pain
I was the one, one with all
All for one, they said
They never heard all the screams
Yelling in my head
The blood ran I can tell you
But you never saw
I know I seemed so sure
But I wasn’t at all
I kept you just on the outs
From the shouts
Piercing from my eyes
Something broke inside
An avalanche of doubt
Pre Chorus
What could I reach for
you were in my hands
Chorus
My heart died
a thousound times
While you kept on
beating and beating away
Verse 2
I left the place
Where the faces looking back at me
Were the ones that only took
And never offered a thing
I bid you all only love
But let me offer a line
Even lions leading lions
Can be dying inside
Chorus
My heart died
a thousound times
While you kept on
beating and beating away
Chorus
My heart died
a thousound times
While you kept on
beating and beating away

The Past of Tomorrow
04:25
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Still here I see, nothing’s changed
Vanished will, hope is killed
Hollow and tamed
A mother’s wish, more than this
But You remain
And cast the blame
over and over
Verse 2
Barely light here, you veil the pain
potential gone, carry on
Fallen and shamed
A father’s hope, you would rise
But clinging on
The Grip is gone
And now it’s over
Chorus
Remain, here
Rest, in fear
Stay, quite still
The past of Tomorrow
Verse 3
Years tumble on, yours are gray
Numb inside, love has died
Shattered, insane
Your soul cries, but you stay
The silence kills
And breaks the will
Over and over
Chorus
Remain, here
Rest, in fear
Stay, quite still
The past of Tomorrow

Souls in Torment
07:05
|
|||
|
Souls in torment - agonize over your life
Souls in torment - misery falls on your like rain
Souls in torment - despondency overwhelms the mind
Souls in torment - am I condemned to feel this pain?
Suffer inside, lamenting the life you have to live
Writhe psychologically; rotted, decaying sense of will
Stagnant perceptions; life pregnant with the problems you can't solve
Depression has set in; colors bleak the life you have to live
Shadows fall across your life, times of brooding insecurity
Darkness lurks in this place; once you fall into a pit of despair
Inaction and depression will lead you to a dismal state
You must know you cannot abandon your self to that miserable fate
A soul in torment - not relegated to that place
A soul in torment - can rise above by the Father's grace
The answer to your condition lies in your relationship with God
He is your maker, Creator of the place in which you live
A fear of the Lord is a fountain of eternal joyous life.
:Turning any man from the snares of death that reach for him (Proverbs 14:27)
Dilemmas intrude in your life. Enduring these trials is part of life
From them we learn to be strong; the spiritually sound will see a better day
Any intimidating storm can be more than endured by the grace of God (Romans 8:31)
As clouds must dissipate, so these shadows move on to reveal the light
Souls in torment - agonized over your life
Souls in torment - misery fell on you like rain
Souls in torment- despondency overwhelmed the mind
Souls in the mind - not condemned to feel the pain
Trust in the Lord, anxiety departs the life that you live (Luke 12:22-30)
Depression melts away, overcome by the Father's loving will
Knowing that there is a purpose for all the trials in life
Faith in our God;
He goes before us,
In all adversity
Dilemmas intrude in your life. Enduring these trials is part of life
From them we learn to be strong; the spiritually sound will see a better day
Any intimidating storm can be more than endured by the grace of God (Romans 8:31)
As clouds must dissipate, so these shadows move on to reveal the light
A soul in torment, torment....
A soul in torment, torment....

Undismembered
04:59
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Four winds carry my limbs
Away from me
Outward runs my innards
For the world to see
Verse 2
Paupers cry, and the crown grins
Gore displayed for all of them
Burning, fading embers
Alas, is this the end
Chorus
Put back together again
Stitch by stitch
But not by them
Beyond the shadows, an unseen hand
I know you will remember
(The Undismembered)
Verse 3
And as the mourners leave my side
I uttered one last thing
The One who first assembled
Will reassemble me!
Chorus
Put back together again
Stitch by stitch
But not by them
Beyond the shadows, an unseen hand
I know you will remember
(The Undismembered)

On the Way Down

|
|||

Verse 1
How smooth your game
Everyone’s just a fool for the taking
I fell for you
And now it’s changed
Everything is dead and forsaken
Lost through and through
Pre Chorus
You played the part oh so well
Pointing to Heaven
But Leading to Hell
Chorus:
On the way down
The flames burned our eyes
On the way down
Revealing all your lies
On the way down
Your skin dripped away
On the way down
...You called my Name...
Verse 2
So here we are
All your loved ones are broken
Left...ripped in two
Without a home
Cursed, alone was it worth it
Soul...lost by you
Chorus
On the way down
The flames burned our eyes
On the way down
Revealing all your lies
On the way down
Your skin dripped away
On the way down
...You called my Name...
Chorus
On the way down
The flames burned our eyes
On the way down
Revealing all your lies
On the way down
Your skin dripped away
On the way down
...You called my Name...

Pale Rider
03:56
|

|
And on the pale horse he rides
And he comes for every man
And you can’t out shoot him
And you can’t out smart him
You can only face him
But make no mistake
He’s coming for us all
Run…
Verse 1
The pale rider arrives
With death in his hands
Seeking a dead man awake
Fear in the dust
the people they rush
Here I will not forsake
He stops on a dime
Slides off of his steed
looks me square in the eyes
“Today is the day
You knew I would come
Say, are you ready to die
Pre Chorus
All you are, all you’ve done
Here I am, for your blood
Chorus
I am the End
Reach for your gun
Night has arrived
There’s nowhere to run “
Verse 2
“Say when you’re ready”
He says with a grin
“Let’s give them all a show
Try as you may
To outdraw the best
Your fate I already know”
Without a blink
I pull from the hip
And fire as fast as I can
But to my dismay
I wasn’t first
He had the quicker hand
Pre Chorus
All you are, all you’ve done
Here I am, for your blood
Chorus
I am the End
Reach for your gun
Night has arrived
There’s nowhere to run
I am the End
Reach for your gun
Night has arrived
There’s nowhere to run

Let it Be Known

|||
|
Verse 1
I wasn’t fast enough
My draw was just too slow
Now the bullet lies within me
Pushing on my soul
I thought I had a chance
Maybe one more time
But the gunman overtook me
And sealed this fate of mine
Pre Chorus
As the blood flows
Let it be known
Chorus
My life’s been sweet as wine
A little pinch of time
It’s all I’ve known
it’s been mine alone
A gift from up above
To live down below
Thru love and pain
I’m grateful all the same
...as the blood flows,
...let it be known
Verse 2
I’m not a perfect man
I’ve never claimed to be
I’ve whispered love so gently
With crimson on my sleeves
But in the desert wind
God, he spoke to me
Told me how he shot Death
I fell there on my knees
Pre Chorus
As the blood flows
Let it be known
Chorus
My life’s been sweet as wine
Bitter though sometimes
It’s all I’ve known
it’s been mine alone
A hand from up above
To hold mine below
Thru love and pain
I’m grateful all he same
...as the blood flows,
...let it be known
As the blood flows
As the blood flows
As the blood flows
Let it be known

METALLUM EVANGELII
by Ritual Servant
supported by 16 fans who also own “Death of the Gunman”
this album absolutely rips. this is what I would call epic thrash. it has that old school sound but sounds very fresh at the same time. definitely worth supporting, I had to buy the CD for my collection, I couldn't not. I don't even care if it's quote "Christian metal", the music is so damn good. maybe, GOD damn good. I hope these guys keep making heavy ass metal 🤘🏻

In Memoriam
by Crowned in Sorrow
supported by 12 fans who also own “Death of the Gunman”
Out of the wreckage brought upon by dual personal tragedies comes an outstanding album that is sorrowful and victorious. Once you listen to this a few times, it’s hard to want to listen to anything else for a while. This is my front runner for metal album of 2021, and perhaps even my overall AOTY.
