Barbarian Prophecies - AMONG US

Live in Toronto

Whispers of Your Death (Live)

Music/Merch

Counterparts "Whispers Of Your Death"

"In the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them... as the Lord your God has commanded you." - Deuteronomy 20:16-18


This is, by far, the heaviest song I've ever written. Inspired by the "God's Teeth" campaign for the Delta Green RPG, the lyrics are from the point of view of a man who has no choice but to resort to unimaginable violence as a response to inhuman cruelty... and from the perspective of the hungry God which urges him on.

GOD'S TEETH  (Delta Green Song | Progressive Metal/Djent)

The world I knew is gone for good
Eyes once burned — we understood
Now blue light on every face
Trading touch for endless chase

They say “no time.” We comply.
Hours bleed while pages fly.
Wide-awake yet walking blind,
Warm little cage… then it grinds.

Look me in the eye (don’t blink)
Tell me we’re alive — not synced.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (stand up)
Devil dressed in wire and light,
Feeding on the human bite.
Are we too far gone to feel again?
Too far gone to even pretend?

I’ve seen marks in circuit shine,
Cameras track the body line.
Nature stands — we hollow out,
Living small in louder doubt.

I want you without the glass,
Truth unmasked, no filter pass.
Reach for you and feel you fade —
Terrified we’ll lose what made.

We were built to blaze and breathe —
Not to kneel beneath a feed.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (stand up)
Devil dressed in wire and light,
Feeding on the human bite.
Are we too far gone to feel again?
Too far gone to even pretend?

Rip it out — tear it down.
Burn the code — scorch the crown.
Run for trees — skin and bone.
Hold your ground — make it home.

(Help!) before the lights go dark.
(Help!) before they brand our hearts.
(Help!) before we’re names on file.
(Help!) before we lose the wild.

Why the hell did we let it die? (wake up)
The fire, the fight, the love inside (rise up)
Cut the wires, break the lie,
Meet me where our eyes catch fire.
Not too far gone to feel again —
Breathe like we remember then.

Look at me…
Before we’re ghosts behind a screen.
