[Intro:]
Saw it in your eyes—before the blade came down.
The lies you stitched still bleed, still drown.
I’ve met the Devil...
He’s kinder than you.

[Verse 1:]
Brace for the blow—it’s closing fast.
Truth cuts deeper than your past.
I carve the names in scars you left—
Your throne’s a tomb, built out of theft.
Your mask is cracked, truth bleeding through.
You buried guilt like it wouldn’t bloom.
You're the frost in every vein.
Now the silence screams your name.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Your fire’s out—just smoke and shame.
I won’t bleed for you again.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR WORDS ALL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY LIFE’S A FIST!
DEVIL’S AT YOUR DOOR—CHOKE ON WHAT YOU WROTE!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on it—swallow the flame!
Drown in truth—you forged the blame!
Storm is rising—your crown won’t last!
Truth is metal—and breaks like glass!

[Verse 2:]
You spit your venom, circle lies—
I wear my wounds like armor ties.
You cut deep, but I never dropped—
You cut deep, and I rose up.
I’m what you fear—unbowed, unbent.
Gold turns black—your testament.
Truth’s a blade and I’m its edge.
Say my name... and taste regret.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You said I’d break—but here I stand.
This rage was forged in your own hands.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES ALL BURN!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—I’VE EARNED MY TURN!
DEVIL’S GOT YOU NOW—CHOKE IN ENDLESS NIGHT!

[Post-Chorus:]
Burn in pride—your throne’s a shell!
Drown in rust—you built this hell!
False king falls—no one kneels!
Truth don’t beg, it breaks and heals!

[Bridge:]
You swore I’d fail—you watched me bleed.
Now I’m thunder—cracking teeth.
You laughed me down—now hear me rise.
I’m the storm behind your lies.
RISE!

[Final Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES STILL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY FURY PERSISTS!
DEVIL’S GOT YOUR THROAT—YOUR CROWN’S CORRUPT!
CHOKE ON FLAME—WHILE I RISE FROM DUST!
NEVER FORGIVE! NEVER!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on pride—truth won't die.
Rage you gave—I wear like light.
Watch me rise—fear me now.
I am the reckoning—you allowed.

[Outro:]
I’ve seen your worst.
I’m still here.
That’s what scares you most.

Heaven's Empty and No One's Home were originally a single song, but now they're two songs. How neat.

Heaven's Empty

[Verse 1]
I need a spark to wake these bones,
You strike the fuse, you cut me close.
You drag me deep where the shadows spin,
Don’t hold back now — pull me in.

[Pre -Chorus 1]
Set this heart on fire, don’t let it fade,
Your touch cuts through where the secrets stay.
Etch your mark under my skin,
Let this burn begin again.

[Chorus 1]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Feed this ache, don’t fade away.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Crack these walls ‘til the silence breaks.

[Verse 2]
You wind me tight like a broken dream,
You crack my calm, split my seams.
When I fall hard through the static haze,
Will you stay close when the embers blaze?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tear this night apart, don’t let it drown,
Your hands pull truth where the dark runs out.
Scratch your vow into my skin,
Let the fever flood me in.

[Chorus 2]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Keep me raw in your hidden flame.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Light my bones where the shadows stay.

[Bridge]
Tie me up in your reckless storm,
Carve your name where my scars are worn.
I’ll keep this flame behind dead eyes,
Let me break where the lost ones rise.

[Pre-Chorus 3 — Final]
Burn this heartbeat loud, don’t let it lie,
Your touch cuts deep where my ruins hide.
Trace your fire across my skin,
Let me drown and rise again.

[Chorus 3 — Final]
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Fuel this fire where the lost remain.
Slow burn..., (slow burn....)
Burn...., slow burn....
Brand my soul, let it scream my name.

Slow Burn

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I wasn't born aware, had to open my eyes
Nobody told me what to believe
Had to find it out for myself
Asking questions, down on my knees
Praying for truth to set me free
Begging for truth to set me free

Then I saw past the rainbow
All the shame behind the colors
All the darkness they cover

You live next door to the devil!
How are you supposed to be okay?
Step outside, see corruption in every form!
How the hell are you okay?
How are you okay?

Close your eyes, dream the nightmare
At least the demons look prettier there
But I won't bow to this madness
I'm standing tall, unashamed
Won't play along with the lies they sell

I'd rather walk through fire than live in this hell
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees
I've seen behind the curtain
Watched the lies become the truth
I won't be their puppet
I won't be used

You live next door to the devil!
How are you supposed to be okay?
Step outside, see corruption in every form!
How the hell are you okay?
How are you okay?

Unashamed!
I'm ready to lose it all!
Unashamed!
For the One who gave everything!
Everything!

You promise life when all I see is death
Give me peace when my world's a wreck
In the chaos, You're my anchor
In the darkness, You're my light

The world gets darker (but I shine brighter)
So I run to You
The world gets darker (but I shine brighter)
I run to You!
I run to You!

The world gets darker, but I shine brighter!
Better run to You 'cause You're all I've got now!
The world gets darker, but I shine brighter!
Better run to You 'cause You're all I've got now!

You're all I've got now
All I've got now
You're all I've got!
(All I've got!)
You're the only way out!

Unashamed

A fractured manifesto set to hard rock, machine pulse, and cinematic dread.

Coterie of Cretins is a broadcast from the fault line where humanity and technology intersect — not in harmony, but in discomfort, suspicion, and reluctant dependence. These songs live inside the fluorescent hum of a world where every device pretends to listen, every choice feels rehearsed, and every person is half algorithm whether they admit it or not.

Across twelve tracks, the album follows the last free thinkers, doubters, Luddites-for-likes, and digital ghosts as they move between locked doors, broken signals, and too-perfect faces. Some fight back. Some give in. Some just scroll until the scrolling stops.

The sound is heavy, resonant, metallic, industrial at its core but driven by human lungs and human fear. Guitars grind against synths. Drums slam against circuitry. Voices remain the last unprocessed instrument — desperate, stubborn, hopeful, furious.

This is not an album about technology.
It’s an album about living through it.

Coterie of Cretins asks one question repeatedly:

If this is the future, is there anywhere left to stand that’s still ours?

Line of Site

burn it down

*(Verse 1)*  
Woke up to that notification sound  
Another 10% down, spinning 'round and 'round  
Coffee's cold, screen's glowing blue  
Watching years of gains just slip right through  
Remember when we thought it couldn't fall?  
Now I'm checking charts against the wall  
Phone's blowing up with panic texts  
"Did you sell yet?" - what comes next?

*(Chorus)*  
Red candles burning through the night  
HODLing tight but losing light  
Promised moon, got rainfall instead  
Counting pennies in my head  
This ain't the future we were told  
Just watching green dreams turn to gold...  
Wait, no - turn to dust instead  
While everyone else moves on ahead

*(Verse 2)*  
My friend Steve cashed out at fifty-eight  
Says "I told you crypto's just a fake"  
Mom asks if I'm still "in that Bitcoin thing"  
I just nod and pour another drink  
Wallet balance looks like '09 again  
When dreams were cheap and hope was thin  
Remember buying pizza for ten grand?  
Now I'd sell my soul to understand...

*(Bridge)*  
They say it's just a dip, just wait it out  
But patience wears when there's so much doubt  
Scrolled past Lambos on my feed today  
While my account's in disarray  
Maybe this time it's really dead  
Or maybe just inside my head...

*(Outro)*  
Dust gathers on my hardware wallet key  
While I refresh endlessly  
Maybe tomorrow... maybe never...  
Should've just bought property...  
Red candles burning...  
Always burning...

Red Candles Again

The Black Cross is a gothic metal band conjuring soundscapes steeped in darkness, mysticism, and cinematic intensity. Formed as a ritualistic union of heavy riffs, haunting melodies, and baroque aesthetics, the band blends elements of hard rock, doom, punk, and darkwave into a force both brutal and beautiful.

Led by frontman Michael on vocals and guitar, the five-member coven includes the enigmatic Lilith (synth & vocals), the shadowy axe-wielder Cain (rhythm guitar), brooding low-end guardian Malach (bass), and the fierce and relentless Abaddon (drums). Each member represents a different facet of the band’s occult-inspired persona.

Their debut album The Chapel of Shadows introduced a new liturgy of sonic storytelling — songs like Velvet Crucifix, The Seraphim Lie, and Darkness Is My Friend explore themes of sin, salvation, and the sacred in decay. With theatrical visuals, powerful live performances, and an ever-expanding mythology, The Black Cross is more than a band — it's a resurrection in sound.

Listen. Worship. Burn the silence.
