This song is a haunting and emotional journey through the depths of pain, trauma, and the struggle to overcome. The lyrics weave a narrative of darkness, fear, and despair, with vivid imagery and metaphors that evoke a sense of eeriness and foreboding. The song's themes of feeling lost, haunted, and trapped in a cycle of suffering are deeply personal and relatable. The chorus offers a message of resilience and hope, urging the listener to rise above the ashes and break free from the chains of fear and darkness. The song's atmosphere is moody and introspective, with a focus on atmospheric instrumentation and haunting vocal delivery.


LYRICS; 

[Verse 1]
Whispers in the dark night
Shadows play in cold light
Echoes in the hollow mind
Can't escape what you find 

[Verse 2]
Linger on the edge of dreams
Broken paths and silent screams
In the void of endless schemes
Lost my way it seems 

[Chorus]
Rise up from the ashes
Burn away the clashes
Heart of shadows dancing
Fear no more romancing 

[Verse 3]
Mystic eyes in the storm's glare
Haunted by what isn't there
Feel the chill in empty air
Loneliness a deadly snare 

[Verse 4]
Wander through the forest deep
Secrets that the darkness keep
In the silence where it seeps
Lost within the sleep 

[Chorus]
Rise up from the ashes
Burn away the clashes
Heart of shadows dancing
Fear no more romancing


Rise Up!

"I Saw A Dream... A Dream That Wouldn't End" (smezir_2 - Slowed) (By Vertzer)

This Palm Sunday homily centers on Jesus' quotation of Psalm 22 on the cross, specifically his anguished cry of abandonment. Fr Blair explains that while seemingly scandalous for the Son of God, this act reveals Jesus' profound humanity and solidarity with suffering humanity. By reciting the psalm, which transitions from lament to trust, Jesus not only expressed his own pain but also adopted the cries of all who feel forsaken, offering a model for prayer in times of distress. Ultimately, the homily emphasizes that even in apparent divine silence, God remains present, offering hope and redemption, a message reinforced by the example of the repentant criminal and the broader themes of trust, remembrance of God's faithfulness, and the power of prayer found within the Psalms.

Homily - Palm Sunday 2025

In the final Sunday of our reThink Everything sermon series, culminating on Palm Sunday, we explore how repentance is ultimately a trajectory toward forgiveness. Daniel takes us on a journey through the story of Joseph in Genesis, witnessing how God can transform even the deepest betrayals into opportunities for growth and redemption. Joseph's tale reminds us that forgiveness isn't just about letting go of anger, but about recognizing God's sovereign plan in our lives. As we reflect on Joseph's words, 'What you intended for evil, God intended for good,' we're challenged to see our own hurts through a divine lens. This message encourages us to break free from the chains of resentment and embrace the liberating power of forgiveness. It's a call to trust in God's bigger picture, even when we can't understand the 'why' behind our pain. As we approach Holy Week, let's consider how we can embody Christ-like forgiveness in our own lives, remembering Jesus' words on the cross, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

I like music. I'll listen to any kind, hence the amalgamation of different songs in my likes and playlists.
