The debut single for my solo project "The Incarnation Effect" - My rendition of a classic Christmas carol with a bit of a progressive edge.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Pictures at a Nativity

Lyrics:

Symphony of Demise

I. Allure

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls
Step right up for the greatest show on earth
Something You'll never forget
I guarantee it.

Welcome to my world of fear,
Please step inside
Whats with the caution in your eyes
I've got nothing to hide
Please take your seats for the show
But only if you're sure
As part of the cast let me assure you,
Its a show worth dying for

II. Illusion

Smoke and mirrors, Its getting clearer
Flashing lights and laughs surround me
Magic and trickery this slight of hand I now can see
Like taming lions the trapeze I fly on
Its all because of me

I created music with my own two hands
This beautiful Symphony of Demise
This music is now shackles that bind me
To a world of, self-creation

Stuck, now you're with me in my own game
Lost yourself to an endless dream
Behind beauty is where evil lies
Its a shame the music is louder than our cries

Stuck, now you're with me in my own game
Lost yourself to an endless dream
Behind beauty is where evil lies
Its a shame the music is louder than our cries

III. Subduction

Pulling you deeper, I feel you near
Coming to greet me your pain and your fear
Driving you deeper, into the void
You can not resist defiance destroyed

This world I've composed 
your mind will decompose
there is no hope
Your weakness I can see drive you into insanity
I hear your pleas see misery, lasting for eternity!

This song has sealed your fate
For all of your years
An everlasting hell
of pain and of tears

IV. Entanglement

I created music with my own two hands
This beautiful Symphony of Demise
This music is now shackles that bind me
To a world of, self-creation

Stuck, now you're with me in my own game
Lost yourself to an endless dream
Behind beauty is where evil lies
Its a shame the music is louder than our cries

Stuck, now you're with me in my own game
Lost yourself to an endless dream
Behind beauty is where evil lies
Its a shame the music is louder than our cries


V. Submission

Calm, your fears
Its safe, in here
Behind, the walls
Of my creation
Don't hesitate
Its far too late
Ignore your faith
My song has sealed your fate

Now you are mine


Symphony Of Demise

First song off our our latest album, "Symphony of Demise".  Check us out at facebook:  www.facebook.com/ariocmetalband

Lyrics:

Shout to the Heavens
Are you giving in now 
drop to your knees
Put your fist to the ground
His presence surrounds you
Yet you feel alone
Darkness closes
seeks to seize your soul

In your mind comes the worst of fears
In Memories come the pain and tears
You think you rethink, you think again
The past that you have is not your friend (not your friend)

In the night I hear a new song
Rising, calling out my name
Piercing through the darkest
Memories of mistakes, I've made
A second chance a new beginning without vain
Pressing onward the scars they still remain


In mind in your thoughts in your dreams in your head
You are lost and abused and confused twisted
You can't escape filled with hate, clouded mind
Filthy fool broken down, left behind

Comes back to haunt you everyday
Self consuming thoughts eat you away
Stuck in reverse you go round and round
The pain of silence is the only sound (the only sound)

In the night I hear a new song
Rising, calling out my name
Piercing through the darkest
Memories of mistakes, I've made
A second chance a new beginning without vain
Pressing onward the scars they still remain

In the night I hear a new song
Rising, calling out my name
Piercing through the darkest
Memories of mistakes, I've made
A second chance a new beginning without vain
Pressing onward the scars they still remain

Lyrics:

White walls, dark prison cells
locked away, nobody cares
trapped inside my thoughts again
freedom to think, but none listen

Insanity echoes through the halls
the crazed thoughts, the silence draws
only the weeping breaks the stillness
only the memories keep me dreaming for me

Free to roam these empty skies
these thoughts repress my clouded mind
and even through the wind and fury
I still keep my sanctuary

Forced pills bring muddled thoughts
erasing all, I've made myself
Strapped down I try to fight
they lock me up and bind me tight

Fighting to regain myself
sedated I'm an empty shell
In my shattered mind I scream
In a faint whisper, I cry out, for help

Free to roam these empty skies
these thoughts repress my clouded mind
and even through the wind and fury
I still keep my sanctuary

Free to roam these empty skies
these thoughts repress my clouded mind
and even through the wind and fury
I still keep my sanctuary

White walls, dark prison cells
locked away nobody cares

Only the memories keep me dreaming [for more]
