Lyrics:
The Whirlwind

Behold...
Ancient ascendant soul
Reborn in mortal flesh
To lead the people down 
The bloody path to freedom

Old flesh collapses 
Spirit leaves the corpse
New blood awakens
Desert taking form

A wall of fury rises from the desert floor
Screaming winds spread scorching sand forevermore

Scream in horror
Immortal power is unleashed
You will suffer
When the living whirlwind breathes

Merciless slaughter
PIcked off one by one
Bloodsoaked chaos
The Whirlwind blotting out the sun

Ancient ascendant soul
Reborn in mortal flesh
To lead the people down 
The bloody path to freedom

Armies bent to the will
Of a goddess reborn
Striking at the heart
Of infidel empire

A wall of fury rises from the desert floor
Screaming winds spread scorching sand forevermore

Rise now, my children of the sand
Raise your arms against the bastards who enslaved us all
No longer shall we live under the yoke
No longer shall we be the ones to suffer

Merciless slaughter
Cities falling one by one
Bloodsoaked chaos
The Whirlwind blotting out the sun

Lyrics:
“Years upon years I’ve been tormented
I yearn to be release from this Earth! Kill me”

Entering a purgatorial landscape
Spectral trails of thousand versions of me undone
The monuments stood still agelessly witnessing each passing failure
Upon each wounds inflicted and ruptures in the vein
Deteriorating minds, 

Let the blade dances on the wrist again
Let the blade take the reigns forevermore

Despair take roots in the flesh, 
Captive forever in mind 
Towering gallows faith expiring

Despair take roots in the flesh, 
Captive forever in mind 
Towering gallows faith expiring

Heartrending contemplation echoes upon the sinking sun
Vacant stare at the shattered mirror
The ropes dangle from the ceiling
Flashes of imagery so picturesque extreme
Arrested I with these vision unrest

Entering a purgatorial landscape
Spectral trails of thousand versions of me undone
The monuments stood still agelessly witnessing each passing failure
Upon each wounds inflicted and ruptures in the vein
Deteriorating minds, 

Let the blade dances on the wrist again
Let the blade take the reigns forevermore

And the noose swings side by side like a pendulum
A memoir persisting inside this dreary room

And the noose swings side by side like a pendulum
A memoir persisting inside this dreary room

Tragic abusement being horribly replayed
Of guilt and shameful past forever paraded

Tragic abusement being horribly replayed
Of guilt and shameful past forever paraded

Sickened by the thought, its haunting me
Burdened by the guilt to be among the deceased
Neurotic thought distorts the mind
Vision of death flooding neurocyte

Neurotic thought distorts the mind
Vision of death flooding neurocyte

Just leave me here rotting 
Let the night carry me gently into the soundless void above

Vision of death flooding neurocyte

Matthew's Quest
Out for the Kill

A melodic death metal song themed on the video game "Castlevania"

Music and vocals by Matthew Gibbs

Mix/Master by Clint Luttjohann

Lyrics:

The night has come
death is knocking at your door
it is time to hunt and slay once more
my holy blade
forged by the light
burns the flesh of those who test my might

I kill to live and I live to kill
to vanquish foes with enchanted steel
a freezing mist engulfs the earth
what a horrible night to have a curse

I'm out for the kill, I live for the thrill
to see blood spill, I use my steel
evil cannot hide, when I'm out for the kill

the full moon slips behind the trees 
as I enter the forest with eyes a gleam
eternal fiends, unleashed to feed
upon anything the lives and bleeds

Searching for life in the darkness around me
alone in the night awaiting light to surround me

I'm out for the kill, I live for the thrill
to see blood spill, I use my steel
evil cannot hide, when I'm out for the kill

the full moon slips behind the trees 
as I enter the forest with eyes a gleam
eternal fiends, unleashed to feed
upon anything that lives and bleeds

And now at last the hunt draws near
No longer will the land live in fear
for the morning sun has vanquished
the horrible night

I kill to live and I live to kill
to vanquish foes with ensorcelled steel
a freezing mist engulfs the earth
what a horrible night to have a curse

I'm out for the kill, I live for the thrill
to see blood spill, I use my steel
evil cannot hide, when I'm out for the kill

Lyrics:

Revenant,
Reanimated corpse, ill souls reborn again to terrorize the living
Beneath the burial ground where the dead lie asleep
From the depth of mortality
The chimes toll again
The chimes toll again
The chimes, it toll again

Rising from the grave, the revenant appears 
A tortured soul seeking vengeance, fueled by fear 
With eyes ablaze and a heart full of hate 
This undead warrior will seal your fate

Revenant, the undead predator 
Feasting on the living, a relentless terror 
Revenant, the bringer of despair 
A cursed existence, beyond repair

I am the revenant
A creature of the night 
My thirst for human lives
Will never die

I am the revenant
A creature of the night 
My thirst for human lives
Will never die

Futile attempt to escape from the wrath
Of the undead revenant 
No refuge from their grasp 
In the darkness they'll torment

My reign of terror will never end
My wrath will be felt until the bitter end 
Cower in fear, I am insatiable
