The Suffering & the Aftermath

No Forgiveness, No Regrets (Re-loaded Instrumental)

No Forgiveness, No Regrets (RE-LOADED INSTRUMENTAL)

"I wrote this song when I was a teenager based on a horror movie concept I came up with, in which a black market funded gene engineering lab come across an ancient fossil containing a fully preserved parasite. Upon finding it, they immediately start gene splicing to create a bioweapon for black market buyers, & aptly named The Apex Parasite. However, this parasite was not of this planet, a leftover remnant of the meteor showers that ended the dinosaur age, unbeknownst to the scientists, both from negligence, lack of research & their greed. 
But the engineered creature begins to show signs of intelligence increasing at an hourly rate, growing rapidly in a matter of days before destroying its enclosure, & killing all life it encounters (incl. the entire team at the compound) as it attempts to establish itself as the apex predator.
Before his death, one assistant engineer realizes the horrors of what they've made & sends an encrypted video message to the billionaire funding the twisted venture; the clean up crew is then deployed.

I kept all the demo ideas stored for many years & felt now was the time to bring this song in particular to life. I waited this long to release it simply because the necessary technology required to achieve the full vision of what this song is, and do it justice, just wasn't readily available to me... until now!"

Lyrics:
Burn
Burn it down to the ground
Before it takes us all
Burn it down
It’s too late to turn back now so
Waste it
We’ve got to kill this thing before it kills us all
And they named this thing the apex parasite
There’s bodies in the basement 
The scent of death still haunts these hallowed enchanted falls
Distorting all reality
‘Til you can’t tell the real from the insanity
What the hell have they been doing here
Bioweapon XT6439
Continually evolving, the very apex of a species lost to time
They have created a monster beyond all comprehension 
Engineering the extinct to manifest a new form of bioweapon 
Looks like they met their end 
By this thing that they had designed 
Playing with ancient forces 
That they didn’t even try to understand 
And now that this things let loose 
From their own pathetic negligence 
We’ve got to clean up this mess
If there’s any hope for a future left 
When all of this is dead and buried 
When we’ve undone all the wrong
When the place is nothing but ashes
We did what had to be done
What we they expecting
There are some things that man cannot control
This is one of the ancients
The shape of pestilence embodied in a native form
Lock and Load
Burn it down to the ground
Before it takes us all
Burn it down
It’s too late to turn back now so
Waste it
We’ve got to kill this thing before it kills us all
And they named this thing the apex parasite
Terrified and Apoplectic
They didn’t know that it was capable of sensing fear
What began as incidental
Quickly morphed into the reason why it’s still here 
Follow the destruction
All the rivers here are stained with so much blood
I can smell all their insides
And all the skeletons it left here in the mud
Driven by instinct and bloodlust
The worst of this is yet to be seen
That thing will just keep on killing
‘Til all of life on earth is wiped clean
I can feel all the horror
The ground bleeds drenched with death from everything that went down 
All that’s left is the ancient 
And by now it’ll know what we have come here to do
So ready yourselves for the storm
This thing will not go down easily 
We’ve got to clean up this mess
If there’s any hope for a future left 
When all of this is dead and buried 
When we’ve undone all the wrong
When the place is nothing but ashes
We did what had to be done
If we don’t it’ll keep on consuming
Growing larger by the day
And If we don’t we’ll never see our loved ones again
So what do you say?
Die
Foul creature 
Die
Kill this wretched thing
We will be the last that it will ever see
Burn this abomination
For the sake of humanity’s preservation
Die
Foul creature
Die
Go back to hell where you came from

Part of the New Triple Chapter Full Length IO Record Coming Soon
My darkest, most complex, and heaviest work yet

Lyrics:
Welcome to the nightmare 
Below
Look around don’t you recognize this place?
This is the world of your mistakes
Don’t fight that feeling they say seeing is believing 
And there are things down here you would not believe
You know you wronged me far too many times
And you told me a thousand sordid lies
You stabbed me in the back to try to bury your mistakes
Then dumped me to the street in the hope I’d die
But there’s one thing that you did not count upon
There are many more down here just like me
We have built this place together a world of pain here in the nether
To reek our vengeance on the fools that sent us here
So do your worst there is no counter for this curse
This is the place that you fear
That place you sent me just to rot away the days
And I hope that you’re dissatisfied with your stay

Welcome to the nightmare
Below

So save your breath no ones listening to your lies
You’re the very thing that we despise
We’ve heard it all before and got no patience anymore
It was just a matter of time
We’ve gotten wise
You know you wronged me far too many times 
and you told me a thousand sordid lies
We learned a hard mistake
Never trust a useless fake
Cause we know now what your kind is truly like
All you ignorant liars didn’t count upon this fact 
There are many more down here just like me
We have built this place together
A world of pain down in the nether
To reek our vengeance on the fools that put us here

We refused to do your twisted bidding
We refused to be your slaves
There is no excuse for what you’ve done
You never spared a single one
All your evil schemes they stopped nothing  
Only delaying what was coming to pass
And now the time has come for you to pay
A man chooses 
A slave obeys

I told you that you didn’t want to go down this road
This is payback for every life that you stole
You took our time from us while poisoning the young ones
They call me Mr B
And on the end of this drill will be your skull - fucked

Bring them to me

I am 
I am the reckoning

We have erased you
And all the evil that you’ve done 
We will erase you all
To save the little ones
We have erased you
To save the little ones

For you
I am the reckoning

Lyrics:
Fuck

Fuck your world



We've made our own

So 

Fuck

Fuck your world 



They pretend to feel

And ignore the real

Couldn’t break us

So they tried kill us all

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in this life

You cannot trust these blood sucking parasites



They have tried

But they failed just the same 

Sent their best

But this energy that we bring can’t be contained

We are more than they’ll ever hope to know

And now they rot from the judgement that they faced deep down below 



Burn them all

I want to swim in the ashes

Til we’ve regained our souls



Let it rain

Let the ashes fall from the skies above

Let it rain



We’ve been dwelling in the dark here for far too long

Unlike them we remember where we came from

We are the ones that they sent to the dark

Out of sight out of mind 

We said we’d take our lives back 

Wed claim em in full

And there’ll be nothing they can do all those little hypo-critic fools

Live strong, together as one

And the best that they could do was run



But it didn’t help

Couldn't stop the inevitable 

Their fate was sealed 

The day that they crossed/wronged us all

They were warned

And as always they didn’t listen to a single word 

So we defied them

We refused to obey to the rules of fools

Or To their sick depraved lack of conscience

Void of morality / No moral values

We faced the best that they could send to try to silence all of us

All laid to rest in the end

They tried to bury us and blame us for their in-capabilities 

Parasitic scum

Living out their fantasies in their delusional minds

Like the blind leading the blind 



Burn them all

I want to swim in the ashes

Til we’ve regained our souls



Let it rain

Let the ashes fall from the skies above

Let it rain 

Til it blocks out the pain



I have made myself into the physical embodiment of our vengeance 

We have watched as they corrupted the young from the depths of the nether realm



And they paid with their lives



Fuck

Fuck your world



We've made our own

So 

Fuck

Fuck your world 



Let them feed



Returned to the sea



We have damned them to their eternal punishment 



Returned to the sea

Vengeance
My darkest, most complex, and heaviest work yet

Lyrics:
Let the ocean feed upon their ashes 
So the cycle repeats
Til there’s nothing left to claim from their meat
Our disdain for their existence only strengthened the result 
We made sure that all their plans ground to a halt
If this is what they wanted 
Then they’ve reaped everything they’ve sown
Such foolish ignorant sheep 
With all of their poisons of control
They had thought that they knew fear
Tried to manipulate our minds
Til they met this thing 
That the darkness sent 
To break everything it finds

So my friends will you walk with me
Down this path that we’ve paved together
We refused to be their victims of deceit
All the lies that they tried to chain to us 
Hear us now 
We refuse to obey
We will not bow
To your malicious intents

And their dissent
Was the product of their undoing
Feeding on the lives of the innocent as they crawled 
Begging for their suffering to end
But the young ones
They found no mercy from their captors 
And we 
Showed no mercy 
In kind 
To all of their evil that 
Bound us

Shackled to the poisons that they forced upon us all
Living inside of this hell for too long
Dependant 
Addicts of the pain in this cold dark infinity 
Mentally conditioned for the worst 
That this bucket had to offer 

Vengeance
The Only remedy to abate all the insanity
Ended With the sound 
From this world deep underground 
The payment
Measured by displeasure on the ledger of disdain
Left to pay their debt with their lives

Taken willingly 

There is always a lighthouse
There is always a man
There is always a city
This was always their plan 
So we brought it to an end

Find the Power Within
Set Yourself Free

From their decent
It was the product of their undoing
Feeding on the lives of the innocent as they crawled, 
begging for their suffering to end
Taken from a loving family
And stolen from a happy home
Brainwashed to make this city implode 
Once again

But the young ones
They found no mercy from their captors 
And we 
Showed no mercy 
In kind 
To all of their evil that 
Bound us

Shackled to the poisons that they forced upon us all
Living inside of this hell for too long
Dependant 
Addicts of the pain in this cold dark infinity 
Mentally conditioned for the worst 
That this bucket had to offer 

Vengeance
The Only remedy to abate all the insanity
Ended With the sound from this world deep underground 
The payment
Measured by displeasure on the ledger of disdain
Left to pay their debt with their lives

Taken willingly

To the bed of the deep
Returned

To the bed of the deep 

Returned

Bai Lan
The 2nd Single From Chapter II: Destruction
Inspired By the Legendary Bioshock Franchise, in this installment, the underwater city of Rapture lays rotting and ruined years after the civil war that caused its downfall
As the Big Daddies and Little Sisters that remain continue their path of vengeful destruction, readying themselves to step through the dimensional tears they discovered in the bowels of the city, they find there is yet more to be done than initially anticipated...
The depths of their oppressors lies knew no bounds, forcably trapping them in a psychologically torturous loop through previous mentally conditioned fail-safes imposed upon them. In order to break them, move on to free themselves and finish their plan, they must now face those responsible for the cruelty they suffered and erase the lies that bound them to this rotting city under the depths

As they found, heavy lies the head of the guilty.

Lyrics:
Bai lan

Let it rot

Bai lan 

Come walk with me into the dark

Bai lain

Let it rot

Let this broken system rot until it’s (dead and) gone

Bai lan 

So we can finally move on



Don’t you see? This nightmares come to life again

As the liars cling to their worlds of pretend

They built this cage and took from us what made us human

To bear resemblance of the monsters they envisioned



If it’s not a dream then why can’t we wake up from this?

Coz of All their poisons keeping you in this necropolis 

One man’s actions speak louder than their Empty words

And brings you back from the precipice they drove you to



All of those Empty little platitudes and ‘promises’

From empty selfish little tools

No morality just poisons to devolve the soul

There’s nothing left down here to lose 


Bai lan

Let it rot

Bai lan 

Come walk with me into the dark

Bai lain

Let it rot

Let this broken system rot until it’s (dead and) gone

Bai lan 

So we can finally move on


There is no such thing as happiness here only lessened states of misery

From the hands of the fools and their enforced perceived authority 

Forced down deep inside, this sordid mental maze they’d made

We already knew this’d push us ever closer to extinction 



To dim the light inside of the souls they knew that they’d forsaken 

Their Dependence on corrupting through the evolutional temptations

And The track marks line their flesh contorting/leaving bodies in a mutated mess 

Twisted limbs from (all their) sins when humanity’s so forgotten



From All of those Empty little platitudes and ‘promises’

From empty selfish little tools

No morality just poisons to devolve the soul

There’s nothing left down here to lose 



The weight of all these lies they forced upon us

And we erased them without a trace

Sunken to the deep



Heavy lies the head of the guilty



The sea won’t wash away their shame



Heavy lies the head of the guilty
