Lyrics:
Impudent thespians that is we 
Come and watch your puppets dance on a string 
plotting lines that no one will ever see 
victims of my Scottish tragedy 

tell me which way that the wind will blow 
run through the fields on a full moon night with the hot red light 
tell me just how that the curtains raise 
lights fall on the stage and they crumple the page while you burn at the stake 

I'm running out of time 
their tying up my spine 
strings wrapped around so tight 
I'm going out my mind 

An idiot dancing on the stage of mediocrity 
a bolt loaded into the crossbow of society 
pointed at the people who believe they have the right to be 
judge, jury, executioner of the rotten seed 
in plotting them all and leave them all in asylums 
the subliminal mindset of American violence 
poisoning the populace impossible to stop 
when they're pushed to you behind the images of a glowing screen 

Impudent thespians that is we 
Come and watch your puppets dance on a string 
plotting lines that no one will ever see 
victims of my Scottish tragedy 

tell me which way that the wind will blow 
run through the fields on a full moon night with the hot red light 
tell me just how that the curtains raise 
lights fall on the stage and they crumple the page while you burn at the stake 

I'm running out of time 
their tying up my spine 
strings wrapped around so tight 
I'm going out my mind

Macbeth

Lyrics:
When a predator sets its sights it will feast on its pray 
now the wolves are at our doors all howling like strays 
antitoxic product spreads propaganda through the market 
discrediting the achievements of poor self conscious artists 
while the prophets of revolution spout theoretical nonsense 
without their self inclusion in their gospel they prophet 
cynicism rises in a food chain divided 
now the stray dogs will be the ones to feast on the prizes 

If a pretty pictures what they want let me paint the perfect image 
or a grotesque witness let me gut it and twist it 
till a malformed bleeding mess is what's left on the page 
welcome to the bleeding hearts buffet check in and stay 
is success dictated by what's left on your plate, or the meat that you gave, or the fangs that you break? frustrated by the animals content in their cage, looking down on me with a strange look on their face (they say) 

You don't know what its like to be trapped inside my shallow life 

I just don't know what its like because I fought my life to survive. 

The boy who pissed his pants on the first day of first grade, cried his eyes out when his father went away, toughened his skin from the fear of his last days, is frightened now of the clock laughing in his face. 

I'm old enough to know and I'm dumb enough to try as the clock keeps tick tick ticking through my life, a balanced amount of ignorance and foresight, Specials a word for those too afraid to try, I see those at the top too full to eat and us strays at the bottom still scrounging for some meat, If shadows surround casting its judgement with the potential to loose the things that we once loved when... The people that we lost, a nostalgic taste, the judgments that were passed, another blissful day, the blood stained lines, and the smiles on your face, I'll write it all down on this page page page, ink forged like iron inside of my veins, a torch in the dark lit to light the flames, for the people who move and feel the same way, who die in the streets begging for change.

Die Hungry (The Vulture Awatis)

Hello Everyone and with respect to our clout, anyone. We appreciate fully you listening to our album. We don't have a marketing team, or any type of angle that needs to be pushed, Due to this, I like to take these opportunities where we can put in a short blurb to say thank you for listening. To put simply, we've recorded the majority of this and what will be the following 2 or 3 EP's, during this chaotic time in our nations history. Challenges presented themselves as we tried to stay busy and as none of us do this professionally our best is what we gave it. We hope you enjoy the message wrapped in each song and look forward to more of our music in the future. We here at The Almsmen wish everyone the best. Thank You.
-Connor

The Forest

Die Hungry

V1: X1
Kick up the dirt and light up the fire.
Keep moving forward in a land full of liars.
An ocean of sand in the eyes of the desperate.
The drought has come and were too tough to mention it.

Pre chorus:X1
Looking at the past and looking at the future
There’s no end in sight the cut needs a suture.
It bleeds at both ends until it runs dry
And the husk left behind is still empty inside.

Chorus:X2
A road that leads to nothing
I don't know where we're going
A hundred thousand miles
I’ll know it when I know it
Blisters on our feet
I don't know where we're going
The desert runs so deep
I’ll know it when I know it

V2:X1
Born and bread in dust
Squinting at the sky
With dryness in our
And burning in our eyes
Stuck in this bowl with walls on all sides
We bet our lives for a chance to get outside

I'll Know It (When I Know It)

The Shadow of St. Nicholas

V1:
The demon of christmas, The shadow of Saint Nicholas,
Check all the locks and tuck all the children in,
Don’t you hear him creeping in, smell of sediment
bad boys and girls will be missing by nights end,
The ancestor Perchten, Wielding a birch stick,
Heavy on the back a basket full of children,
Don’t you know the name, Don’t you make a sound,
Everybody quiet Krampus is in town

Chorus:
Always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
The beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
To gut you and stuff you and take your life

So, always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
A beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
There's nowhere to hide when the darkness comes alive

V2:
Do you hear him coming, the horns are scraping, in the darkness there's a dense heavy breathing,
You know he’s coming, the bed frame is bumping,
Underneath the bed there might be something,
A horned demon deity, A pagontistic apathy,
Coming for the all the bad people like you and me,
Don’t you know the name, Don’t you make a sound,
Quiet Everybody krampus is in town

Chorus:
Always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
A beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
To gut you and stuff you and take your life quiet Krampus is in town

So, always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
A beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
There's nowhere to hide when the darkness comes alive

The Shadow Of St. Nick (Krampus)

We're a Los Angeles based rock band formed in late 2015. With influences spanning from metal, punk, blues, and indie our style of music can be hard to categorize. Our goal as a band is to make music we can be proud of and that people will enjoy.
