Musically inspired by Nile's slower stuff as well as Sludge Metal in general. Lyrically inspired by the conglomerate that tries to control what you think, and will do if you let it... thanks, Rupert and co.

Lyrics:
One step to crush a billion invertebrates
One utterance blackens out the sky
Dare you wonder why?
Treason is in your thoughts 
Fear is in your hearts
Manipulate the river's mighty flow
Drown the hive mind in a drunken sea
By the King's decree
Blind from shock and awe
Monuments tumble down
Their hands will never be clean

Spill the blood of the innocent
Stolen lives, you hypocrites
Once we know, open the gate
Your own soil, the seed of hate
Cover scars with a tourniquet
Blatant lies, dressed in grey
Once we know, open the gate
Your own soil, the seed of hate

The fireworks obscured by swirling smoke
Serpentine symbols of a manic dance
The consensus trance
Silence with ridicule
Distract with the mundane
Conspiracy the epithet of a liar
Painting over light with a crooked smile
Exploit the denial
Fanfare of trivia
Disguise eternal reign
Their hands will never be clean

[repeat chorus]

I'm a multi-instrumentalist from Wellington, New Zealand. "Ends in Ashes" is my personal project. Sometimes friends will do guest spots on songs, but generally it's just me doing everything like a true jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. There are seriously never enough hours...

Thanks for listening!
