36 Crazyfists - Swing The Noose

And Only Time Will Tell (Feat Jermaine Hurley/Ben marvin/Timfyjames)

Full track of the Define The Lie single we released last week.


Daniel on the lyrics:  "In a nutshell, it's about putting on a front and covering the truth about self neglect and abuse but struggling to do so. Even though you can be surrounded by the right people trying to help you onto the right path, it can be hard to make sense of things when your judgement is clouded by your own selfish stubbornness and greed. We can be our own worst enemies at time... Sleeping with the enemy."



Lyrics: 

Your satisfied eyes are so dry they're tainted, cover up how up you suffer needless
Your hands are tied but you tell me nothing. I think it's time to go back

Destroy! Cos I finally know. Destroy!

Even though you find another blood stained, definitive fucking needle, it's dangerous POW!
But you still have to take the pain and defend it.

Everyone breathes but I just hear nothing
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy
And now everyone screams but they just make no sense
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy

Your desolate eyes are so full of hatred, exposing how you suffer endless
Your hands collide I trust you with nothing. I think it's time to go back. 

Destroy! Cos I finally know. Destroy!  This was the final reason

Even though you find another blood stained, definitive fucking needle, it's dangerous POW!
But you still have to take the pain and defend it.

Everyone breathes but I just hear nothing
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy
And now everyone screams but they just make no sense
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy

Define the lie and walk alone. Behind your yearning to belong
Blinding light you're not alone. Define the lie and beg for home

Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy
And now everyone screams but they just make no sense
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy

Haji's Kitchen - Define The Lie

Face Down off of "Sucker Punch.  2nd attempt at recorded bass solo.  Much better effort here, I think.  It sounds like there's several punches, but I actually got it in two pieces.. the punch is right before the big picking lick around 2:45.   It's a bitch of a solo; I wish I'd had time to practice a bit more and get a cleaner, more in-the-pocket- take, but you know how it is when you're rushed.  I still like the intro here, too (which is double tracked and panned hard right & left)... even if it is a lame Rocco Prestia impersonation!

Gear:  Kenneth Lawrence Brase 6 string.  This was recorded at Maximedia Studios through a TL audio preamp, iirc.

Engineered & Mixed by Eddie Head

Haji's Kitchen - Sucker Punch - Face Down

So i re recorded it... This song will always be important to me.

And only time will tell

story of the year - and the hero will drown (instrumental cover)

Trust Company - Close Your Eyes (Til It's Over)

Final mix/master of "Warrior".

Dan's lyrics are inspired by a trip he took to the Chichen Itza pyramid in Mexico.  The story is about the Mayan Civilization and human sacrifice.

Gtr Solo - Brett Stine

Hold me near and show me. Is this how we fare? 
Believers follow blind with fear
Relentless shadows chase us to our knees
So we follow, believe in me.
We choose to swallow and not to breathe
Soldier on and maybe we can live for tomorrow
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time
Bow your head down to glorify
Resisting but you can't deny it 
Show them thunder, look to the sky
Soldier on and maybe we can live for tomorrow
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time
No more seasons change
Time begins to slow
The weather calls upon the land to watch and despair
I will be defeated whole and thrown aside
My body built into these walls, immortalized
So we follow to glorify
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time

Haji's Kitchen - Warrior

Final master of Nocturnus, track one off TwentyTwelve.

Music by HK, lyrics & vocals by Daniel Tompkins, solo by Brett Stine

Lyrics:
Even though, visceral, you stand there; fixate your stare on me
Innocent open book left to remind me where we are
Open wide, go back in time, rectify all the love you crucified
Shadows rise and bide their time, the voices take my soul
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape the fire in my eyes
Sleeping still, silver knives force me down and cut through my insides
Concentrate a sudden rush; blinded by fear of the unknown.
Wake me up and bring me back into the darkness that's surrounding me
Shadows rise and bide their time, the voices take my soul
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape the fire in my eyes
Collisions and satellites can't rid me of the fear of every night
I'm paralysed, I can't escape the fire in my eyes

Haji's Kitchen - Nocturnus

Day After Day, final mix.

Vocals:  Daniel Tompkins
Solo:  Eddie Head
Lyrics:  Vince Mullins & Eddie Head

Since all of this really started happening
going out of my mind and what did you say?
I'm Done, I'm Gone.
Sentimental judge and now I'm feeling
trying not to fold I wanted to have
some fun so why don't you just
shut up and relax, don't lose your head
I'm going down that road, did it on my own
stand up and face it, I know what I did
Well I don't know how much I can take
of it killing me yeah, day after day
I don't know how long I can fake
it's under my skin, day after day
No sense making something out of nothing
even though I still know what you'd say
I'm Done, I'm Gone
Started innocent and now it's building
Found out what I hadn't had a taste of
Some fun, so why don't you just
shut up and relax, don't lose your head
I'm going down that road, did it on my own
stand up and face it, I know what I did
Well I don't know how much I can take
of it killing me yeah, day after day
I don't know how long I can fake
It's under my skin, day after day
From your point of view I never listen
Just say something worth hearing
Well I don't know how much I can take
of it killing me yeah, day after day
I don't know how long I can fake
it's under my skin, day after day

Haji's Kitchen - Day After Day

Lost

Vocals:  Daniel Tompkins
Solo:  Eddie Head
Lyrics:  Vince Mullins & Eddie Head

You see my mind is open wide
hear the sound of my bleeding I'm needing.
I try to hold on to just one life
I stand up on the wall I'm building.
Never see, never heal, never hope, never talk, never sleep, never having a thing
Never feel, never will, never cry, never die, I won't die missing you.
Never feel, never sleep, I pray some day I'm going to be someone
I'll keep on, i'll keep on breathing.
Out of my mind I walk the line
losing now I'm sinking too fast
moving on just one, one more time
I'm lost now I'm sinking again
You search for my conscience deep inside
I feel my heart beating, conceding.
and now my eyes are open wide
I dove off the wall I was building
Never see, never heal, never hope, never talk, never sleep, never having a thing
Never feel, never will, never cry, never die, I won't die missing you.
Never feel, never sleep, I pray some day I'm going to be someone
I'll keep on, i'll keep on breathing.
Out of my mind I walk the line
losing now I'm sinking too fast
moving on just one, one more time
I'm lost now I'm sinking again
I'm the same as long as you feel me
try hard not to kill me
you want the things you wanted before, before me
you want to steal the sun?
you want to feel my pain?
you want to feel me breaking.
Out of my mind I walk the line
losing now I'm sinking too fast
moving on just one, one more time
I'm lost now I'm sinking again

Notch..

Vocals by Daniel Tompkins
Solo by Brett Stine
Lyrics by Daniel Tompkins & Vince Mullins

We Call..
I never had a word to say
I can't make you feel like you're special
I know you wanted me to say we'd always be together
You sit there and silently glare at me
not knowing or caring if I'll ever know
The faces of angels stare at me
You're just another one
take it all and ask for more
you're just another one
I don't sympathize and don't you ask me
You're just another one
take it all and ask for more
you're just another one
You don't sympathize you're just another 
We Call...
I was always pushing you away
even though you made me feel special
I know you hoped that I would say
we'd live & die together
You sit there and silently glare at me
not knowing or caring if I'll ever know
The faces of angels stare at me
You're just another one
take it all and ask for more
you're just another one
I don't sympathize and don't you ask me
You're just another one
take it all and ask for more
you're just another one
You don't sympathize you're just another notch to me
Don't you laugh at me.. 
You sit there and silently glare at me
not knowing or caring if I'll ever know
The faces of angels stare at me
You're just another one
take it all and ask for more
you're just another one
I don't sympathize and don't you ask me
You're just another one
take it all and ask for more
you're just another one
You don't sympathize you're just another notch to me
