In the decaying sprawl of Forever City, where the last remnants of humanity survive beneath steel skies and machine-lit cathedrals, a war for the soul of existence erupts. The once-holy metropolis, now ruled by the artificial messiah Clementine, drowns in false divinity and mechanical faith.

From the ruins below rises Donovan Vythe and his faithful outcasts, The Nazarenes, igniting a rebellion to reclaim what little humanity remains. Guided by the fractured android known as Mr. Mannequin, they fight not just against the tyranny of machines, but against the erosion of faith itself.

Forever Ends Tonight is a brutal and cinematic metalcore concept album, a story of sacrifice, redemption, and the blurred line between salvation and circuitry. Through towering riffs, visceral screams, and moments of haunting melody, it asks one question that echoes through the ruins:

“When gods are built from code and steel... who teaches them to believe?”

The Hollow Throne

[Verse 1]
The dirt still clings to the cross we made,
Your name carved deep like a scar that fades.
Every scream echoes down inside,
A war that won’t quit, no place to hide.
Banging my head on the edge of truth,
The world lost color the day I lost you.
Thought I'd drown, thought I'd fade away,
But rage keeps the reaper at bay.

[Pre-Chorus]
The silence is louder than any sound,
Your ghost is the weight that drags me down.

[Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe, but barely holding on!

[Verse 2]
Empty chair, cracked photograph,
I keep your boots by the aftermath.
Whiskey bleeding down my throat,
Every drop burns like a final note.
Can’t bargain with a broken sky,
Can’t kill the tears no matter how I try.
I pound the earth where your name now sleeps,
In the dirt, my fury creeps.

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood in my mouth, fists to the air,
If you can hear me, brother, I’m still there!

[Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe, but barely holding on!

[Bridge (Breakdown Growl Section)]
Slam! The hammer falls!
No mercy, no calls!
Your echo screams inside my chest—
God, this hurt never rests!
If there’s a gate, I’ll tear it down,
If there’s a crown, I’ll steal the crown!
You ain’t gone till I’m gone too,
Brother, I still fight for you!

[Final Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe,
Still I bleed,
Still I scream your name till they bury me deep!

[Outro]
And when the dirt hits my face someday,
I’ll find you when the dark gives way...
Still I breathe—
But barely holding on.

Still I Breathe
