Lyrics: 

Alone, cold, pale rider

This dead place
Echoes
Ghosts and shadow
Gloom
Where we stood
Now empty
No one left to see
Our doom

These skies to fall
Empire dead
Empire dead
Fall to ashes
Raped souls of men
Dead dog in bloom
Worm’s meat we all
Dying too soon

This empty womb
A grave
Silent as the crypt
 in which we lie
To sleep eternal
And face what dreams may come

When the sky came down
And the sunrise failed
The trees all fell
Children old and frail
Dust and dry bones
Carpet their homes
We shuffled on
We shuffled off

When the sky came down
And the sunrise failed
The trees all fell
Empire dead
We shuffled on
We shuffled off
one by one 
We each will fall
Bare bodkin’s kiss
Nose to the stone
This last alone 


03 Empire Dead

We walk through the fields 
For the sons we’ll never see 
In agony 
we prepare the slaughter here 
In every hand and hair 
Fear Sweat cloying thick 
gun smell In the air 
Marching on and on 
We tread upon the ground 
Beating down everything that lived before 
No one can stop us now 
We must stay this course 
Everything we’ve known is gone 

Make widows and orphans 
Hold this line 
Hold the line 
Fire 
Pain 
Run til you bleed 

Turn and fight, stay on your 
Feet to die Spending your 
Life for this useless defeat 

Feed the war fresh blood 
Young souls march into the flood 
And I stand by screaming in the rain 
As all around me, fire and pain

02 Fire And Pain

Rise 
The hope of ashes 
Now stand among the damned 
Long winter begat by flame 
A betraying sun 
Wrought by the hands of men 
And I am become death 

Staring into the sun 
Never seeing again 
Going blind from the raging light 

Could there be life again? Crawling out of the ash 
Spreading delicate wings to rise 

What is a universe without an audience? 

Rise and live 
Touch the stars 
As glorious fools

01 Rise

When the war rends the wise 
And hope is lost 
Find me here in my cell 
A coward’s lair 

I weep for our city 

They scale the walls 
With hooks and rope 
Strong bodies made to kill 

The best of you 
Run out to fight 
Flashing steel, 
The blood a river 
And I alone 

I weep for our city 

The greatest choice: what to die for. 
though in chains, I would do it for you 

Hear me now; this, a gallows prayer 
I recall wind blown in her hair 
Take me down, still my beating heart 
Cut me down

04 Gallows Prayer

This is my solo band.  It's heavy.   I live in Los Angeles
