"Billion Dollar Bandages" is an electrifying anthem of resistance, spotlighting the greed within the healthcare system. The track dives into the exploitation of frontline workers, with aggressive guitars, hard-hitting drums, and raw vocals that capture the fiery spirit of rebellion. The gritty energy builds through dynamic contrasts, delivering a rallying cry against corporate greed. It's a song for anyone who's ever felt overlooked or underpaid in the face of immense profits. This one hits hard and speaks loud.

Lyrics:

[Intro]
"Thank you for your service. Your raise request has been denied."

[Verse 1]
Hands in the gloves, sweat on the brow
Suits in the towers, they're laughing now
Overtime hours, bills unpaid
While they stack profits, we wither away

[Pre-Chorus]
"Tough year," they say, "Budgets are tight"
But their pockets grow deeper night after night

[Chorus]
Billion dollar bandages, covering the cuts
We bleed, they feed, and they call it enough
Suits count the bodies, then cash out the trust
Billion dollar bandages, silence the rust

[Verse 2]
Hospitals run like corporate machines
Stock buybacks over healing the weak
Every dollar saved, a life they ignore
Boardroom applause, demanding more

[Pre-Chorus]
"Tough year," they claim, "Budgets are tight"
Yet bonuses rain in the dead of the night

[Chorus]
Billion dollar bandages, covering the cuts
We bleed, they feed, and they call it enough
Suits count the bodies, then cash out the trust
Billion dollar bandages, silence the rust

[Bridge]
Record profits, wage freezes, layoffs ensue
Executives feast while the frontline's abused
We're done with the scraps, we're calling the bluff
No more excuses, enough is enough

[Final Chorus]
Billion dollar bandages, covering the cuts
We bleed, they feed, and they call it enough
Suits count the bodies, then cash out the trust
Billion dollar bandages, silence the rust

[Outro]
"Your raise request has been denied."

Billion Dollar Bandages

🔥 Track 7 – "The Darkness Trembles" 🔥

A powerful turning point in Echoes of a Broken Mind—this track erupts with soaring guitar solos 🎸 and relentless energy ⚡. The protagonist stands at the edge of despair, battling the shadows that once consumed them. The abyss still calls, but for the first time, the darkness trembles in fear. With every scream 🗣️ and crushing riff, the struggle shifts—pain becomes strength, fear turns to fire 🔥. The war isn’t over, but they refuse to fall. A shattered soul… but still alive. 💀✨

The darkness trembles (Oblivion Descent)

Darkness On Our Shoulders

I have written many songs about the woman I love, good times, hard times and great times. One aspect I haven't yet touched on is the fact that her maiden name is Nyx, her last name. As the years went by and I really got to know her I realized she was more than a few steps up in all ways from normal (mortal) women. I decided to see what I could learn about her name and I was not surprised at all. 
In Greek mythology Nyx is the goddess and personification of the night.[4] In Hesiod's Theogony, she is the offspring of Chaos, and the mother of Aether and Hemera (Day) by Erebus (Darkness).
In the works of poets and playwrights, she lives at the ends of the Earth, and is often described as a black-robed goddess who drives through the sky in a chariot pulled by horses. In the Iliad, Homer relates that even Zeus fears to displease her.
I feel you Zeus... But when she's happy? I feel the love of a goddess. 

Lyrics:

Let me crawl back inside my hole so you can roll, roll the stone back over me...

I have fallen to my knees I am only here to please the one I serve, 
the one I give my heart I don't deserve

The one who brings me light she is the night
Carries a crucifix my only fix she is The Nyx

I have fallen to my knees I am only here to please the one I serve,
The one I give my heart I don't deserve

I am your lowly servant, I will follow you
I am undeservant
On Apollo's brew I give my heart to you

I will crawl through the hottest fires of Hell
Just to prove to you my mortal blood is true

She is the one who brings me light
We thought she came to save us
But brought by the name of Chaos!

She is the night, she is the Nyx, she is the Nyx
My only fix
