We are just sacks of flesh formed for consumption when framed with no context. Plastic wrapped relentlessness ushering in the celebrated apocalypse. Or is it just a mass hallucination? One way or another, unless we change we will all slowly be undone.

Lyrics
Cold cut, plastic wrapped
No frame of context
Just a lump, a sack
Flesh formed for consumption
I see a mirror not a future meal son

No room for, bitterness
Feeling inside, relentless

I come in with the apocalypse
Are you willing to taste my kiss?
My form ain’t small
So excuse me
If I hoard before the fall
Critical of higher purpose
I wasn’t the one to choose this
Particular
Set of circumstances

Petition my inner compass
Find the procedure
In which will free us
Ticking off the clock,
Running out of time
We must turn around

Worldview
Shifting
Or so I hope
Why is it
That all I see
Seem to be
Hallucinations
Hallucinations

What separates
Us from lofty goals
Inhabit our
Shakey frames
Our whole god damn paradigm
Nothing we do
Slowly… will be undone
We must all change
Together or perish

Visions

Download

Walking the stairs of infinity, drifting into fragmented memories, how do I continually find myself slipping away further into my own insanity. If heaven is a lie and we are all destined to die, then I will fall into the abyss. And in that moment of realization, everything became clear before it faded away. And I go back to walking my haunting pathway. Lost in the gaze of my destiny.

Heaven Is A Lie

This one is a bit of a curveball, it's an instrumental "synthwave"-esk track recorded on an 8 track recorder circa 2007-2008. I remastered it using some of the latest mastering software and got it sounding pretty damn nice, so this is the next thing you get while you wait for my next proper vocal single.

Are we all a cosmic mistake? Or do we have a deeper burning potential resting within? I believe we all have the potential to bear the Morning Star. Can you feel the glow of Gnosis? You just need to believe, to set yourself free.

The Morning Star

If I gave my heart to you you might rip in true, but that's never stopped me from trying before because I'd rather die blind than without having tried to rise to the opportunities cast to me. Despite the painful condition of being human you have to have a bit of faith to petition love in the form that will draw near.

If I Gave My Heart To You

Victory is not won by saints, and don't delude yourself that it will be kid. You gotta get your hands dirty, if you wanna succeed. Don't let those who sit on thrones of gold determine your infallibility due to your entrenchment in nature. We are all prodigies of disaster, and masters of paradox. We have the potential to succeed, if we just stop being branded by our failures. 

The third single from my upcoming album Death Of An Angel, which is going to be released through my independent music collective The Infidel Netwerk. Featuring music recorded between 2010-2011, this album is the third and final album in the Shadowalker trilogy, a series of albums I wrote between 2007-2011.

Sages and saviors 
They're all charlton's behaviors 
Name's given 
To the deceptions 
The grand spell 
Cast over us all 
A final inception 
Your shattered reflection 
The shadow has been 
Spun right into your soul 
Like a spider creeping 
Out of control 
Our hopes are sleeping 
Not like they were ever real 

We all look for compassion in this broken world 
But we only see obsession 
There is nothing left to find 

We have it in ourselves 
To call upon a world 
outside of our own 
But we have been lied to 

A material machine made existence 
A tragedy, 
Greed reflecting our fallen state, 
For inside of us all, 
Is the potential to create, 
WITHOUT GOLD! WITHOUT HATE! 

We could be whole, we could be divine, 
We could cherish and make whatevers in our mind 
There is potential there is so much more 
Then what’s in front of our gilded eyes. 

Attempt to brand us by our failures 
But then liberate us by our desires 
That's the way of our machine 
Can we ever be forgiven? 
Is to always purchase our soul's apathy away 
What do you really think you know about 
Our designated direction of consumption 

Will we let ourselves be consumed by these mind games 
That we half play on ourselves in a state of apathy and disdain 
If we continue at this place we'll never find a solution 
Unless we attempt to best ourselves there'll be no resolution 
And I'm not pointing no fingers, I don't got no answers 
But I know that there is a solution if we just open our eyes

Death Of An Angel

Victory Is Not Won By Saints Kid

Deception comes in many forms, some seemingly as gentile as they come. A baby is born, a prophecy is told, and many acts of barbarism will follow. The truth is hidden in the sands, and what is left in the public's eye is a twisted memory of the keys of salvation, turned into the warped beating war drum of an ever-thirsty blood god. Only by turning our eyes to lie, can we finally open our eyes to the divinity inside.

Lyrics:
Mother Mary I see into your eyes, 
A passionate obsession, 
To keep the secret at bay, 
Even at the cost, 
Of two millennia’s deceit, 
Do you condemn yourself so readily? 
Earning a place in the hell you so preach. 

You sleep with the sheep, 
Deflowered off your innocence, 
In the very place you will lay, 
The tearstains streak across your cheeks 
Fears compels deception 
The bastard messiah 
Will be born. 

Immaculate conception, 
The perfection deception, 
Claim the child of god, 
You wander on 
Preachers clinging 
Like a solemn echoing 
Of fading relevance 

But now the opportunity has arisen 
An age of depravity draws near 
One just needs to fall into the fear 
Of a coming apocalypse 

Ignorance and lies, 
Brought him your faith, 
Wreckoning from our holiest of sons 
For every stake placed in 
Another shall strike your very heart 
No deception goes without stain 
Your mark has already been made 
Endings are only beginnings 
The greatest blindfold has been set

Bastard Messiah (single)

Bastard Messiah

Nothing stays perfect, not when the world is falling down around you. We are bringers of our own disease, and I can see that now. That only way to purge the infection is the purge humanity, and for that, we must go back straight to the source. Only the chosen will survive the impending apocalypse, the vision of the future I have seen...

Lyrics:
Nothing stays perfect the way you want it
You just gotta accept that the milk has curdled
Can you taste the waste
As it permeates 
With a predictive quality
Irrelevance reigns today
Accepting of temporary securities
That’s why we don’t just watch 
But participate in the fury 
Reckless fury
We are all savages

Abound, around
Burning down the gates of Eden
One day at a time
We fling ourselves into the pit
Practical teachings
That destroy this world
As we accept it as the norm
Superior to what? I say

We are either vacant and empty
Lost in the frenzy
I see are our failings, around and abound
Around and abound
Falling into the hurricane
Caught in the winds of dissonance
We are left to comprehend
With nothing but empty hands
Collapse to the ground
Shivering, now I understand
What it is we have left behind
Only after the flood 
My mortal toil is undone
How could have I not seen

Lyrics:
Nothing you can do will bring you closer to me,
I’ve been found and created out of mystery
A machine propagating non-stop misery
I wanna tear your heart out and eat it raw?
Savagery is my only real law
This ain’t a ride that you’ll be coming back from

You will indulge each and every pleasure
Even it kills ya
This is more than another sick adventure

Murder, murder, murder
Kill, kill, kill, 
Murder, murder,
Until I’ve gotten my fill,
Murder, murder, murder
Kill, kill, kill, 
Murder, murder, murder,
Until I’ve gotten my fill!

Strip you down, taste from the inside
Nothing’s  going to help, don’t try to hide
I’ll find you even as you enter the station
Of those you thought you could depend
Little did you know 
Little did you know
They’re on the inside
On the inside
For this sick sick ride

Wasted and debased, you’re not gonna escape
This is far more disturbing than a rape
Chase you down, hunt you like a rabbit
Skin you alive, for the hell of it
What did you expect from this?
Death to come with a sweet kiss

Trap you like fox, hunted with our hounds
Laugh at the torturous sounds
As they devour you alive slowly
Eating your insides as your writhe
Viciousness in it’s purest form

You’re in the crosshaire’s tonight 
Don’t think there’s a happy ending
Unless it keeps you a running
False illusions leading to decisions
Dead hooker meat, now its my treat
Soon my freezer you’ll greet

Lyrics:
What you want, what you need,
Nothing is what it seems,
Feel that hate, feel the fear,
A darkness is far too near,
Deep inside, a dark place,
Gives me a new face,
What I am, how I feel,
Can't tell what's fucking real,
The things that we have done,
At the time they seemed so fun,
What I want, what I need,
Nothing matters or so that's how it seems.

Things we did tonight,
Makes me feel alright,
I know what I am,
I know what I do,
I know the evil inside of you!

Things I want, things I need,
I will always need to feed,
I don't fear your withering touch,
I just want far too much,
Can you take any more,
Of being my emotional whore,
I will tear you apart,
I knew I would from the start,
I would tare you apart

The games we played went on too long,
And now I write this deadly song,
I speak to you in my dreams,
Only you know what I mean,
I felt the hate, I felt the fear,
Now it's nowhere near,

I miss the feeling of the rage,
The way we always turned the page,
Broke the limit, tore down the walls,
Until the minute that we would fall,
Nothing is real anymore, without my beautiful whore.
You make me feel so weak inside
But I don’t care anymore
I don’t feel the shame
I don’t feel the pain
I just don’t want to hide anymore
There's never been a better sin,
Then the one that I desire,
As I look into your eyes,
Will I drown in your sorrow
Or will we find our broken tomorrow in yesterday

And ride it to our demise
There is only one destination from here
It's shrouded in doubt and fear

Lyrics:
Across these bleeding skies,
I paint a river of you blood for you,
I want to watch as everyone dies,
As long as I know, that you are all here,
Burning with me.

I wanted to give up,
But I know I gotta keep the mask on,
So we don't all turn to ash and dust,
Cause we'd rather fall apart in our own decay

Clinging onto each others rot,
As we fall to our knees,
How can you think that you know
When we are just a disease

You will find no love in this beast
I’m only one here for the feast
There’s no wirings in this wretch
Cause I’m ready to rot away
But I swear this is only a taste
Of the madness that takes hold
Living somewhere in between bliss and fear,
Knowing that life brings death so near.

Sometimes crawling, often running,
But never do things seem to stop,

I should move on, before things slow,
Things slipping into a bore,
A hole of entropy, sucking a little more,
But this journey just won’t seem to quit,
When you stop, you start to sink,
Life begins it's choke,
And you know… your a gonner.

Love only what you see fit,
And destroy all that you can,
We are the masters of our own condition,
So remind yourself,
And that’s all that matters
In this dying world,
For in the blood lies the secrets of men,
In it's steady throb lies your desires

Lyrics:
Nothing but pretenders, 
Dirty idolaters,
Consequences will... finally matter, 
Now that I am here
Now don't go acting so surprised
God loves terror in our eyes!
Now that I am here
The real game has begun 

Locked in places, fear for their rulers,
On their knees, masses ready to cater,
To the will of a decadent madman
No longer representing the people,
All empathy removed,
Hollow, callous, in the nude
Revealed to be oh so cold
Manipulating the masses,
So their slavery they adore.

Love is the new hate,
There is nothing to debate,
Don't even think about escape,
It's time to meet your new fate,
Love is the new hate,
There is nothing to debate,
Don't even think about escape,
Love is the new hate.

Disease encroaches from the throne
The trap has been set, what do we really know
The moment of exposure will eventually be known
But not till the last second, when it's to late
To save ourselves

Love is the new hate,
There is nothing to debate,
Don't even think about escape,
It's time to meet your new fate,
Love is the new hate,
There is nothing to debate,
Don't even think about escape,
Love is the new hate.

When we walk through the door
You've been dealt the hand of fate,
Did you think we would only go higher?
Using our pretend crowns as blinders?

Lyrics:
Pieces of the puzzles nothing fits
If it wasn’t my life, I’d already quit
Trying to make sense of the trajectory
That is supposed to be the life I lead 

In the future there's nothing you cannot do
Until death finally consumes you
Life is brutal, raw and short
Almost no point in putting in effort

Frozen in time
Statue of death
Didn't even know it'd be your last breath
The tables have turned
Now where are they
Those whom you thought you obeyed

What was it all worth in the end?
Disposable, discarded left to fend
For yourself as the wolves come in
Prepare for the worst as they descend

Gonna make brutality your game
Gotta put yourself in the frame
Of mind to destroy all in your path
Executioner, fear my wrath
Taste the terrible price of freedom
The feeling of blood dripping down your hands
Why does it feel so good?
Are we all just savages
Previously bound to situation
Bound to situation
What makes us so special
Nothing!

Colder than night, skin turning pale
At any costs, I will not fail
Some call me the devil’s assassin
But nothing gets under my skin

Was the only thing keeping us from killing
Your friends and family 
The prospect of paycheck?
Pure fucking savagery

We are the children of Cain
We are the bane
Of all life peace prosperity
We are the key to endless misery
