Metal List

"Consumed By Smoke" was inspired by the disastrous Australian bush fires that began in the summer of 2019.

Lyrics:

As we're consumed by the smoke 
Ignite this rebellion on misery 
Daunting flames in a beckoning haze 
This is billowing entropy 
Beauty tainted 
Infinite smoke 
Submerging the modern man 
With blistered hands 
As we're consumed by the smoke 
We hope to see 
Salvation

Consumed By Smoke

Distorted lives 
Will not sow any lies back together 
Cravens won't abide 
Just a vile mastery of the mortals 
Innervated by the leverage upon us 
Become restrained as the powers confide us 
Begin fighting like a father protects 
Don't just turn your backs 
Expose the amoral truth 

Set ablaze let's cause a conclusion 
Don't let the good die and the vile thrive 

We will not be suppressed (This is our conviction) 
We will not be suppressed (Only we can crown them) 

Distorted lives 
Will not sow any lies back together 
Cravens won't abide 
Just a vile mastery of the mortals 
Innervated by the leverage upon us 
Become restrained as the powers confide us 
Begin fighting like a father protects 
Don't just turn your backs 
Expose The Amoral Truth 

Manipulated by the laws they've defined 
They will infiltrate just to keep us confined 
There's no choice 
Neglect our hope 
Let the storm wash your sins away 

We will not be suppressed (This is our conviction) 
We will not be suppressed (Only we can crown them) 

Peel off the cover on your lies 
Survival is our existence 
Let the storm wash your sins away 
Peel off the cover on your lies 
Survival is our existence 
Let the storm wash your sins away 

Wash your sins away 

Craving the anxious people 
Grasp them by their fears 
Brainwash the mindless people 
Show them how to feel 

Greed X2

The Surface (instrumental)

The Surface (Instrumental)

King of deception you've backstabbed again  
Won’t wait till we cross paths 
 I'm on the hunt for you  
 I will come for you  
Revenge is it's own executioner  
The morality of this punishment  is mine to choose  
  
As I try to put the pieces back together 
 I am tormented by lies  
 I'm tortured by the demons that overwhelm my soul 
 They were escorted into my life because of you 
 Because of you 
  
Now! 
 This is the day that you'll always remember 
 A haunted future  
A faded past  
 You have no hope for a better tomorrow 
 Get on your knees  
 You better bow and pray  
Pray!  
You better bow and pray 
  
King of deception you've backstabbed again 
 Now I am here ever flowing with hatred   
You're the devil breathing down my neck getting in my head  
 No more! 
  
But an eye for an eye and this world would go blind  
An eye for an eye and this world will die  
 Eye for an eye!   
You now walk all alone as the ghost of darkness  
You are the choirs conductor of hate   
Weapon of poison and pain  

You will burn  
You will burn, 
Go! 
 You will burn  
King of deception you will burn  
King of deception  
Burn!

King of Deception

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again 

My heart is racing away 
When I feel your touch 
When I’m in your presence 
Everything feels so right 
I wouldn’t throw this away 
Even if it meant the death of me 
The death of me 
Because without you 
I’m already dead 

You’re all that I see 
You’re in my heart and in my dreams 
You had reached perfection to me 

But what I failed to see 
Was right in front of me 
As my roots grew deeper to you 
They revealed the problems that I once saw through 
I looked to you when I needed insight 
You were my everything 
And all I thought I needed was right there 
But I’d be proven wrong 
Can I hold on any longer 
Or are we falling apart 
Forever I’ll see the sun rays glimpse your face 
I’ll hold you in my memory 
Forever these memories remain 
But let go! 

Lifeless I feel 
Scared I am 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Why do I care so much 
Why do I give a fuck 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Go! 
I’m done with your ways 
Done with your games 
Scarred with this pain 

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again (X3)

Undesired

No one is righteous 
Not even one 
No one is truly wise 
All have turned away from greatness 
You are the soldiers of immorality 
Tyrants of hatred 
Whats there to live for anymore? 

Your talk is so foul 
Like the stench from an open grave 
And your tongues are filled will lies 
And your mouths full of disgust 

As the snake venom drips from our lips 
We all rush to commit this murder 
To murder mankind together 
This is the end of our world! 

We’ve got nowhere to turn 
Have, Have, Have 
Have we been defeated? 

It’s like there’s nothing to fear 
We’ve turned our backs on our broken home 
And we all live in the lies hiding from the truth of it all 
We’re going to lose it all 

Born to show no heart 
Born to show no pain 
There are no hopes and dreams 
no more! 
Whats the point of being here anymore? 

These scars show where we’ve been 
But they do not show where we’re going 
They are here to remind us of our sacrifice 
I’d rather die like a man 
Than live my life as a heartless coward 
You don’t know me! 
I stand alone in the face of violence 
And now I scream for the truth 
What will you fight for? 
We stand for families and fathers, our brothers 
We will fight for the truth 
We will fight this war 

Our skin and bones have become all useless structures 

We’ve become a dead race 
Corruption and violence is all we’ve ever known 

This pane of glass I see has turned 
Has turned so black 
My heart is sickened with terror 
And my body is scarred with violence 
I can’t see who I used to be 
My heart is sickened with terror 
And my body is scarred with violence 
I can’t see who I used to be

Scarred With Violence

Controlled to live in fear 
They must tell these stories of violence 
This type of life can’t be welcome here 
Why aren’t you mortified 
Why aren’t you on our side 
Is history repeating itself? 
In this evolution of evil 
It continues to grow 
Evolution of evil 

Freedom has no chains! 
The silencing and censoring of media 
Has warped our minds 
An illusion made to cover bullshit lies 
Options are running thin 
Where do we start to begin 

You’ll never take my hope away 
You’ll never take all my faith 
We need to sacrifice 
We need to change our lives 
In order to free our minds 

Controlled to live in fear 
This shouldn’t be real 
A false sense of hope 
With an end that’s feeling near 
Feeling near! 

It continues to grow 
Evolution of evil 

Freedom has no chains 
Load up your guns 
We are under control 
This is a war 
We’ll fall if we don’t fight 
Load up your guns 
We are under control 
This is a war 
We’re fucked if we don’t fight!

E.O.E

Now is the time 
For this pain to rise to the surface 
I wanna be heard and free from my constraints 
You are the voice that screams in my head 
You are the whisper that echoes inside 

Learn to ignore the choice I made 
These are to be the footprints that I’m to follow 
No matter what you say I’ll be living my own way 
You are so blind 
Your sightless eyes 

Just remember this is my time to lead 
Time to lead 
Just remember that I’ve cut the puppet strings 

You’re so blind 
Open your eyes 
You’re so blind 
Your sightless eyes 

This reflection I see in the mirror is the man I want to be 

Learn to ignore the choice 
I’m still at the front lines waiting to face you 
So you think you’ve won this battle, this war 
Your dictations are delusions 

Just remember this is my time to lead 
Time to lead 
Just remember that I’ve cut the puppet strings 
No matter what you say 
I’ll be living my own way 

Let me die tonight a young mans death 
And get these thrills I crave 
Cause I am my master now 
The air is getting thin 
My chest starts to burn 
There is a pressure dwelling under my skin 
Its building up 
It’s building up

Your Sightless Eyes

I’m caught in my tracks again 
And now I’m stuck cause nothing went as planned 
Why is it when I need alleviation 
There is no one there to grab my hand? 
My potential feels miles away from me 
When will I stand and rise again? 

My body aches to the bone 
There is no remedy for this tortured soul 
My body aches to the bone 
To the bone 
There is no remedy for this tortured soul 

I’m fighting a battle I cannot win 
A battle that can’t be fought alone 
A battle that can’t be fought alone 

Addictions always there hanging over like a shadow 
In my prison of pain 

When will I run out of excuses? 
I can’t wait any longer 
Cause its getting harder every day 

HEY HEY 
Are you feeling empty? 
Scream with me 
HEY HEY 
This won’t control me break away! 

Addictions always there hanging over like a shadow 
In my prison of pain 

No one is ever too broken or too far gone 
Our past will not define us 
These wounds will heal in time 

Our past will not define us 
These wounds will heal.. 
heal in time! 

Are you feeling empty? 
Scream with me 
HEY HEY 
Do you fear the ending? Push away 
HEY HEY 
What are you afraid of? don’t Run away 
HEY HEY 
This won’t control me break away! 
HEY HEY

The Fix

Disgust (X2) 
I’ll come and rip out your tongue 
If that’s what it takes to shut you up 
And now I laugh as you call out for mercy 
You should’ve stayed the hell away 
Away from me! 

You better sleep with one eye open tonight 
There’s no remorse 
There’s no regret 
I hope you feel this pressure 
Since you turned on me 
You’ve crossed the line 
You’ve gone too far this time 
You broke my trust 
My hate for you will never cease to remain 
Will never cease to remain 

(Brook Reeves guest vocal section) 
I want you buried below 
The 6 foot depths they are calling your name 
They’re calling your name 
When you die no one will make a sound 
You don’t belong on level ground 

My conscious can’t be clear 
Until your life is over 
Or hanging by a thread 
I have no mercy for what you’ve done 
There’s still no remorse 
There’s still no regret 
I can’t hold back I must give in 
You are my fix 
You are my sin 
I crave this nightmare within 

When your enemies crowd 
I will lead the vicious mob 
Together we will lead to your grave 

I will shed no tears! 
I want you buried below, the six foot depths they are calling your name 
They are calling your name 
I want you buried below, the six foot depths they are calling your name 
They are calling your name! 

Your destined for something more than death 
Where you’re going theres no heaven or hell 
You’re on my time now

Purgatory (Feat. Brook Reeves)

Lyrics:

I'm lost faking my disguise 
My thoughts eat me up inside
And it hurts to say
That I know I'm fading away

I thought I'd reached my all time low
Yet further further down I go

They say love is the healer
Love is the healer
But no one can seem to save me from myself

Stand here for the last time
Constantly crushing me
Forget the emotion
Can't seem to let go

You know I've tried to find you
I can't escape I can not reach the surface I've been looking for

Save me
I don't know what to do
Save me
I don't know what to do

They say love is the healer
Love is the healer
But no one can seem to save me from myself

Stand here for the last time
Constantly crushing me
Forget the emotion
Can't seem to let go
You know I've tried to find you
I can't escape I can not reach the surface I've been looking for

I thought I'd reached my all time low
Yet further further down I go
I thought I'd reached my all time low
Yet further further down I go
