Sowing The Reaper is one of our most popular songs. Its one of those songs I felt needed that 1 last revision. Making the changes on Distrokid so that this new version is posted on our album  "Decades" OUT NOW.. #requiemownshorizons #metal #revised

Go
We start the year with our hopes in the clouds. The fear we don't acknowledge looms like evening shrouds.
Our past cant make us listen.
You cant make me listen.

I've made up my mind.
Your not worth my time.

Imagine what we could be if our mind wasn't our greatest enemy. Talk is cheap. I sow to reap. I reap to sow.

Before we start again I have 1 last request. Don't ask to hold my hand when you have nothing left.
Our past wont make a difference.
You don't even listen.

Imagine what we could be if our mind wasn't our greatest enemy. Talk is cheap. I sow to reap. I reap to sow.

Decades

Sowing The Reaper

Sowing The Reaper (Revised Version)

I'm going insane

You had me since that night
There hasn't been a doubt in my mind
I never questioned our vibes, but I found a reason to try
 
I know that you're  beautiful beautiful
I know that you're wonderful wonderful
I know that you're pretty much gone 
You weren't here for long and you won't be here for me

Alone again in a sea of faces but, how can I be alone when loneliness is always right by my side
I know that you're  beautiful beautiful
I know that you're wonderful wonderful
I know that you're pretty much gone 
You weren't here for long and you

Your just, You're just a distant light from a shattered sky
 
No answer I get nothing

You know that you're beautiful
You know that you're wonderful
 
I don’t know, what you're hearing
Honestly, I don’t care, who you're being
I know you seem upset and you must have been dreaming if you thought that we make it out without catching these feelings
You're pretty much gone you weren't there for too long

Caught A Thought

Been searching for my reflection
In a shattered rearview mirror
The broken glass is taunting me
Haunting me
Lets play a game of misdirection
We can Pretend that I outgrew fear
Grip the shards and watch my fingers bleed

Oh
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
What's hiding under
All the lies I told
To escape my history
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel
This aching hunger
For all the dreams I sold
All the dreams that I sold

Leave the pain
Cause I don't think I deserve this
No, I don't think I deserve
Bite my tongue and hold on tight
Shut my eyes from all the light
Close the door and lock myself away.
Another mask on the face I've hidden
Made of pain that I pushed away
Spent my life with my voice imprisoned

I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
What's hiding under
All the lies I told
To escape my history
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel
This aching hunger
For all the dreams I sold
in exchange for memories

I'm tired of the war between my ears
And hiding from my darkest fears
Threes nothing left to fear

Just hold my hand
There's nothing left to fear
I'll forget you on my own
No clemency for the weak
I know what I can control
You won't find
No mercy from me


I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
What's hiding under
All the lies I told
To escape my history
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel
This aching hunger
For all the dreams I sold

Just keep your fucking memories

Clemency

Man On Fire is the end of a 3 part story. This man inside that cries out from the inside when he's had enough of the games. Burning from the inside out until he gets home and cuts off the world. When I come home I pick up my guitar and play something to get me in a better mindset. "This man alone this man alright" - No Man In Sight (Lyric from the 1st in the Man series)

The song  "Wait" delves into introspection, vulnerability, and the repercussions of misplaced affection. The narrator keeps their inner thoughts hidden within their room, hesitant to share them with others. They fantasize about an ideal life but question its authenticity and whether it truly feels right. The lyrics touch upon deceitful intentions that ruin the atmosphere and the impact of being misled by an untrustworthy individual. The narrator urges the person responsible for their heartbreak to acknowledge their actions and accept responsibility. The repeated phrase "But wait" highlights conflicting emotions and uncertainties. The song ends with contemplation on the transformative power of silence and emotions, likening them to raindrops creating ripples or waves. The line "Every time you walk away" suggests a recurring pattern of emotional detachment and departure.

Wait

The first song off my EP "L" is a short and emotionally charged piece that captures the raw vulnerability of a broken relationship. Sung by a female voice, the lyrics express a sense of longing and pain as the narrator refuses to know the whereabouts of their former partner, implying a desire to distance themselves from the hurtful past. The repetition of the lines "I don't want to know where you will go, Don't you even know you bare my soul, You had me bad, So bad" intensifies the emotional impact of the song, leaving listeners with a poignant glimpse into the complexities of love and loss. The brief duration of the song adds to its emotional potency, leaving a lingering impression on the listener.

"Wait" delves into themes of introspection, emotional confusion, and the consequences of misplaced affection. The narrator opens up to the walls of their room, seeking solace in their own space while feeling hesitant to share their inner thoughts and emotions with others. The lyrics suggest a sense of yearning and daydreaming about an idealized life, but doubts arise about whether it truly feels right.

The song addresses the presence of deception and bad intentions in a relationship, illustrating how someone's actions can waste precious time and lead to heartbreak. The narrator reflects on the significance of their emotions and how they were misled by someone they trusted.

The repeated refrain "But wait" emphasizes conflicting emotions and uncertainties, underscoring the narrator's struggle to make sense of their feelings and the situation they find themselves in.

The imagery of rain making ripples and waves on the surface represents the transformative nature of emotions. Some experiences may fade away, while others leave a lasting impact, symbolized by the waves.

Overall, the song explores the complexity of emotions, the challenges of navigating relationships, and the need to find clarity and understanding amidst the confusion. The repetition of certain lines adds emphasis and emotional intensity, making it a reflective and powerful piece.

"The Comedown" narrates a reflective journey through the highs and lows of life. The lyrics describe the singer's acknowledgment of personal growth and the realization of the fleeting nature of time. The mention of staring at the stars in the cold night and singing in bars suggests a search for meaning and connection. The song explores themes of distance and longing, portraying love as a constant and enduring force despite physical separation. The refrain questions the well-being of someone important, reinforcing a sense of care and concern. The acknowledgment of mistakes and the idea that the comedown is a normal part of life adds a layer of acceptance and resilience to the narrative. The lyrics also touch upon the singer's pursuit of rhythm and the challenges encountered along the way. Overall, the song captures a mix of nostalgia, introspection, and a hopeful acknowledgment of life's ups and downs.
