Even During Difficult times, We stand together

My own band (Vows of Ruin) presents our first album, Echoes In The Abyss

Lyrics:
smoke curls like serpents through hollowed ruins but
your breath
your breath is the ember that will never 
DIE

we drown 
in stone
in fire
in iron screams
yet your touch
writes rivers in my shattered 
SKIN

Ashes beneath our veins
still the blood carries our vow

The abyss cannot unmake 
what we forged
in hunger
in terror 
in silence
THE ABYSS CANNOT UNMAKE US

The world screams 
yet in your silence
i find
PEACE

Ashes beneath our veins 
still the pulse is 
UNBROKEN

Echoes In The Abyss

Ashes Beneath Our Veins

Your Distance Kills me, but yet I still Bear great love for you

Lyrics:
Fragments of Distant Flames

I reach for you through silence, but only echoes remain.
Ripped from your arms dragged into the hollow maw…
Fragments of distant flames… still burn inside of me.
Your name is carved into my silence…
but silence is all that answers me.
The void between us / is a wound that never heals!
Fragments of distant flames… forever guide me back.
Until the abyss breaks / I’ll burn for you alone.
Echoes of your laughter /still echo in my soul.
And every tear that falls / my love for you is whole.
And every whispered song / my heart to you is sold.
And every smile you gave / my dreams now fade away.

Forgiving you after the hurt

Lyrics:
In the quiet after storms, 
 I reach for the pieces we left behind.

I faltered in the shadows,
 / I let silence speak for me.
Yet still you waited… still you believed.

Where silence bows, we rise again,
forgiven, unbroken, reborn in the end.


Where silence bows, love remains—
unchained, unbroken, through shadows and flames.”
in every heart, hope ignites—
with each whisper, courage thrives
on every path, dreams take flight

through every trial, we stay 
by each other's side
with every stride, hope aligns

Me and you, 
we give the world hell
in every dream, courage gleams
Side by side,

and in the silence, I am with you still.

Where Silence Bows

The Process of Rebuilding that which is broken.

Lyrics:
Silent rooms where echoes of us
 still linger
Faded warmth between our hands,
 but I reach again

Picking up the pieces of a love torn apart 
 weaving back the threads of our hearts
Through the cracks, the light finds its way 
 together we rebuild, day by day
 
 Our reflections in the broken shards,
 still images the flame our souls hold,
 Broken Shards, its not the end

Words once sharp now hold gentle weight 
 every confession a step to recreate
We plant hope in the soil of our mistakes 
 nurturing the roots that love remakes

The past still haunts the halls we tread 
 but in your eyes,
I find the courage to go ahead
Fractured trust,
 yet we reach through the storm 
learning how to hold on, reborn

From broken moments, a stronger love grows 
every scar a story only we know
Through the fire and the rain, we find solace
hearts intertwined, unbroken, hand in hand

Broken Shards, 
guiding fragile hearts
through the shards,
we find the stars
scattered shards,
rebuilds the parts

Broken Shards

Broken Shards (alternate version)

Me and You, we will not be set apart

Lyrics:
We walk from the ruins where silence died,
The sky burns red, but it carries our light
Echoes of hope in every step we take,
Speaks of life with every breath we make,

Every scar a story
 every wound a flame, 
 yet hand in hand,
 we kiss in the rain

Beneath the crimson sky ,
 broken but unbowed
 i hold you in my arms,
 and carry you through the night,
 
 
Through fire and storm
our vow will not die,
in the darkest of days,
we will not say goodbye


Ashes fall behind us,
the path remade,
each step a promise that will never fade

The storm still calls, the night still screams 
but we hold the line, we chase our dreams

Beneath the crimson sky
we take the world by surprise,
the eternal flame burning within your eyes
Above the starlit night, our spirits ignite
in every challenge, we find our light

Scars of the past, but love survives 
beneath the crimson sky,
we are alive
Through trials and tears, our hearts unite
and forever 
In every hour
With each challenge we stand tall and soar.

Beneath the Crimson Sky

The Liar's Justice, but none is served.

Lyrics:
Clothed in white but dripping red,
Crowns of virtue forged in lead.
The choir sings with hollow breath,
A kingdom built on silent death.

Shadows weave through gilded halls,
Smiles are daggers dressed for the ball.
A crown of ash hides the rotten core,
Faith betrayed, yet they beg for more.

Silent screams beneath the choir,
Hands of mercy soaked in fire.
Every vow collapses to dust,
There is no justice, only rust.

No people just!
Hands that cradle, yet sharpen the blade,
Smiles of angels, their halos decayed.
No people just!
Eyes that promise, but rot with deceit,
Tables of kings, where the carrion feast.


A mask of gold on a serpent’s face,
Promises die without a trace.
Innocence lost to the hunger within,
The stage is painted in quiet sin.

No people righteous, no saints to trust,
The veil has torn—revealing dust.
Through sacred lies and velvet chains,
The hymn of ruin still remains.

Their temples are tombs, their vows are chains,
Their justice a dagger, their mercy profane.
The earth bears the scars of the lies they defend,
A circle of torment with no holy end.

No people just — no justice in man,
No purity left in blood or hand.
The abyss in our eyes, the void in our trust,
There is no people, no people just!

Whispers of virtue, they crawl in the night,
Sanctified masks hide the darkest of rites.
The child cries silent, the priest turns away,
The crown drinks the blood of the lamb they betray.

No People Just

False Beliefs, now crumble before Your Throne,

Lyrics:
In the halls where the echoes pray,
Marble lips move but the hearts decay.
Candles burn with a lifeless glow,
A faith of stone where no rivers flow.

Every hymn a mask, every vow a lie,
Voices rise but the Spirit dies.

Stained glass eyes, they shatter with shame,
Silver tongues curse in the Savior’s name.
Banners of light hide the darkest deed,
Prayers are sold for a serpent’s greed.

Choirs of hollow stone,
Singing truths they’ve never known.
Altars built on rust and bone,
Praise without a throne.

Every hymn a mask, every promise a lie,
Voices rise but the Spirit dies.

Break the walls, tear the veil apart!
God of heaven, judge the heart!
No more hollow, no more lies,
Let Your fire cleanse the skies!



Choirs of hollow stone,
Shattered now before Your throne.
From the ruin, truth has grown,
Your glory stands alone.

Ashes fall where the idols stand,
Broken crowns slip from cursed hands.
The silence speaks what the choirs could not,
The voice of God that cannot be bought.


The hollow fades, the echo dies,
But Your word resounds through endless skies.
No stone, no lie, no throne of men,
Can stand where Your glory reigns again.

Choirs Of Hollow Stone

Those who remain steadfast, will never be broken.

Lyrics:
Raise the banners high, the storm draws near,
The unshaken hearts shall never fear

Shadows march to break the faithful’s spine,
False crowns and whispers twist the divine.
But steel of soul, unyielding and true,
No lies can bend the faithful few

The hollow falter, the weak will fall,
But we stand unbroken, hearing the call

Hymn of the unbroken, fire in our veins,
The enemy strikes, yet our spirit remains.
Tempered in trials, we rise through the flame,
The broken lie shattered, but we bear His name.

Storms of deceit and the venom of kings,
Shattered illusions the falsehood brings.
Through blood and shadow, the righteous hold fast,
The lies of men crumble, but God’s light will last.
Ashes of the deceivers scatter in the wind,

No dagger of doubt can touch the souls pinned.
Our hearts are the fortress, our faith is the sword,
We march undivided, empowered by the Lord.
We are the unbroken, the faithful, the true,
Through trials and shadows, our strength will renew.

Let the false fall silent, their crowns turn to dust,
The hymn of the unbroken endures in God’s trust.
Hymn of the unbroken, fire in our veins,
The enemy strikes, yet our spirit remains.
Tempered in trials, we rise through the flame,
The broken lie shattered, but we bear His name.

Hymn of the Unbroken

Lies and Deceit, twist The Truth.

Lyrics.
Written in gold, but spoken in ash,
The covenant twisted, a hollowed-out mass.
They carve the Word into gilded lies,
A mask of heaven while the Spirit dies.

Promises fractured, the ink runs red,
Truth disfigured by words they’ve said.

Altars are bleeding, the scriptures betrayed,
Their mercy a weapon, their prayers a blade.
Every verse they twist, a scar on the page,
A vow to the serpent, a hymn to the cage.

Scars of the covenant, etched in deceit,
A holy disguise with corruption beneath.
The wounded cry out, but the silence replies,
Falsehood enthroned where the covenant dies.

Promises fracture, the ink runs red,
Truth disfigured by the words they’ve said.

Chains of doctrine, forged in sin,
Pactum shatters, hearts bleed in hue,
They Lie so deep, about the place that is blue.
The covenant scarred, the Word buried deep.

Every scar a warning, every wound a sign,
The covenant endures, eternal, divine.

Scars of the covenant, the blood reveals,
What man has broken, the Spirit heals.
Through ashes and ruin, His truth survives,
No lie can smother what God revives.



Scars of the Covenant

The great question, answered.

Lyrics:
They speak in riddles carved from sand,
Grasping shadows they don’t understand.
Empty answers dressed in gold,
A gospel of lies that’s centuries old.

The void they fear, they fill with deceit,
Yet truth is a flame they cannot defeat.

Behold the Wonder, eternal, divine,
The heavens proclaim what no man can define.
No tongue can counterfeit, no lie can erase,
The wonder of God, the light of His face.

Phantoms of wisdom parade in disguise,
Selling their questions, disguising their lies.
But mountains bow low and oceans still roar,
At the voice of the Wonder they cannot ignore.

The void they fear, they fill with deceit,
Yet truth is a flame they cannot defeat.

Every false word shatters, every idol falls,
The Wonder is greater than their hollow halls.
In silence He answers, in thunder He reigns,
No wonder of man can bind His domain!

Behold the Wonder, eternal, divine,
The heavens proclaim what no man can define.
From ashes and questions, His glory will rise,
The Wonder eternal, the flame in our eyes.

Behold the Wonder, eternal, divine,
The heavens proclaim what no man can define.
No tongue can counterfeit, no lie can erase,
The wonder of God, the light of His face.

The Wonder remains… while their answers decay.
The silence of God speaks louder than they.


The Wonder

The Corruption tries its best to keep you tied.
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
They build their towers from the bones of belief,
Cloaked in virtue, but feeding the thief.
Their words drip honey, their hearts taste rust,
Preaching salvation while choking on dust.

(Pre-Chorus)
A thousand voices rise like smoke,
Promising light while the heavens choke.

(Chorus)
Calls from corruption, they echo and fade,
Luring the lost to the lies they’ve made.
But truth walks silent through fire and flame,
Unshaken, unbroken, untouched by their name.

(Verse 2)
They sell redemption, they auction the sky,
Kneel to their idols, but never ask why.
Their crowns are forged in deceit and disdain,
And every throne trembles at the sound of His name.

(Pre-Chorus)
A thousand voices rise like smoke,
Promising peace while the righteous choke.

(Chorus)
Calls from corruption, they echo and fade,
Luring the lost to the lies they’ve made.
But truth walks silent through fire and flame,
Unshaken, unbroken, untouched by their name.

(Bridge)
They twist the scripture, they mimic the light,
Shadows of heaven that vanish at night.
But the flame of the faithful still burns through the sin,
While the walls of the wicked collapse from within.

(Breakdown / Spoken or whispered)
"Can you hear it?"
The whispers dressed as wisdom…
The serpents dressed as saints…
Their kingdoms crumble in the silence they hate.

(Final Chorus)
Calls from corruption, still calling today,
But the voice of the Wonder will wash them away.
No counterfeit kingdom, no masquerade throne,
Can stand before truth when it calls His own.

(Outro)
The echoes are fading, the silence remains…
Only the Wonder endures through their chains.

Calls From Corruption

The Hidden Side beneath those who remain fake.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
They shine their crowns in borrowed light,
Painted pure to hide the blight.
Whited tombs with tongues of prayer,
But truth can smell the rot in there.

(Pre-Chorus)
Golden words on rusted chains,
Grace on lips, but bloodstains remain.

(Chorus)
The rot beneath the halo, it festers unseen,
Holiness hollow, where pride has been queen.
They sing of mercy with venomous breath,
Saints of the surface, apostles of death.

(Verse 2)
They feast on praise, they drink deceit,
Wolves in vestments, clothed in conceit.
Their eyes are altars of lust and control,
Preaching salvation while selling their soul.

(Pre-Chorus)
Golden words on rusted chains,
Grace on lips, but judgment remains.

(Chorus)
The rot beneath the halo, it festers unseen,
Holiness hollow, where pride has been queen.
They sing of mercy with venomous breath,
Saints of the surface, apostles of death.

(Bridge)
Can you hear the whisper beneath their prayer?
Can you see the serpent coiled in their stare?
They baptize their lies in rivers of fame,
And curse the truth in the Savior’s name.

(Breakdown / Heavy Section)
False light! False throne! False faith of stone!
Your temple’s burning, you’re not alone.
The Wonder will rise — your mask will decay,
The light you defied will burn you away.

(Final Chorus)
The rot beneath the halo is calling your name,
Your holiness fractured, your gospel aflame.
No crown will remain when the true King reigns,
And the rot beneath the halo meets its chains.

(Outro)
Silence falls where the proud once stood…
The halo fades — but the truth is good.

The Rot Beneath The Halo

Fake Saints fade like Smoke

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
They rise in the haze of hollow praise,
Burning bright for a moment’s gaze.
Perfumed prayers and painted grace,
Vanishing saints with a borrowed face.

(Pre-Chorus)
Their halos shimmer, but never stay,
Ashes and echoes drifting away.

(Chorus)
Saints of smoke, they fade in the flame,
Whispering faith, but none remain.
Their worship was warm, their hearts were cold,
Their glory gone, their incense old.

(Verse 2)
They speak in tongues they never believed,
Preaching the hope they never received.
Candles of comfort melt into lies,
Their fire was fame, not sacrifice.

(Pre-Chorus)
Their halos shimmer, but never stay,
Ashes and echoes drifting away.

(Chorus)
Saints of smoke, they fade in the flame,
Whispering faith, but none remain.
Their worship was warm, their hearts were cold,
Their glory gone, their incense old.

(Bridge)
The altar trembles beneath their song,
The fragrance sweet, but the heart all wrong.
Heaven is silent to hollow sound,
The saints of smoke fall to the ground.

(Breakdown / Heavy Section)
Breathe it in — the scent of decay,
Holy words that drift away.
No flame endures when truth is denied,
Their smoke ascends… and their souls subside.

(Final Chorus)
Saints of smoke, consumed by the fire,
The Wonder remains, their thrones expire.
Their halos dissolve, their echoes choke,
Nothing remains… of the saints of smoke.

(Outro)
Only ashes whisper their names,
Only silence honors their flames.

Saints Of Smoke

Philippians 2:10-11:
"So that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father".

(Intro)
The winds are still…
The fire sleeps…
The hands of time begin to weep.
The crowns fall silent, the stars grow dim,
All flesh remembers what lies within.

(Verse 1)
The proud built towers in their own name,
Stone by stone in a house of flame.
But glory fades, and shadows bend,
For every kingdom meets its end.

They sang their hymns to empty skies,
Blind to the tears in the Savior’s eyes.
Their altars shine, but their hearts decay,
Now the light of truth won’t turn away.

(Pre-Chorus)
Whispers break the noise of man,
Heaven moves — it’s close at hand.

(Chorus)
This is the sound of surrender,
The silence after the storm.
When the strong fall low and the meek are reborn.
Every crown laid down, every weapon undone,
The war is over — the Wonder has won.

(Verse 2)
The earth exhales a final cry,
Ashes ascend to a speechless sky.
The saints of smoke have turned to none,
Their halos fade before the Son.

Every secret brought to light,
Every soul exposed to sight.
And in that blaze of boundless grace,
No shadow dares to show its face.

(Chorus)
This is the sound of surrender,
The silence after the storm.
When the proud are dust, and the lowly are warm.
Every throne undone, every title denied,
Every heart laid bare — and none can hide.

(Bridge 1)
Can you hear it?
The breaking of pride…
The quiet confession of those who tried.
The earth stands still, the heavens weep,
And mercy wakes the long-dead sleep.

(Bridge 2)
Trumpets of thunder, voices collide,
Every falsehood burned from the inside.
The heavens split — no curtain remains,
Grace and judgment in radiant flames!

(Breakdown / Instrumental Section)
Guitar leads echo the “sound” motif — rhythmic, almost heartbeat-like, fading in and out with choirs behind it.

(Verse 3)
No people, just presence — the air stands still,
The Wonder reigns and bends all will.
Every whisper becomes a psalm,
Every storm gives way to calm.

The faithful tremble, the fallen weep,
The King has come — their souls to keep.

(Final Chorus )
This is the sound of surrender,
The dawn that ends the night.
Every tear redeemed in the holy light.
The fire consumes, but the heart survives,
The sound of surrender — the sound of life.

(Outro)
No shouts remain, no kingdoms stand,
Just open eyes and trembling hands.
The wind returns to where it came…
And whispers softly — His holy name.

The Sound Of Surrender

The end of time.

Lyrics:
(Intro — begins where the previous song fades out)
(Soft wind, faint echoes of the last line “...His holy name”)
In the hush that follows light,
The earth forgets the weight of night.
No heartbeats now, no cry, no flame,
Just endless peace that bears His name.

(Verse 1)
Time exhales its final breath,
And lays its head in quiet death.
The stars bow low, their stories told,
The hands of heaven let go their hold.

No people, just whispers — the end of all sound,
The Maker walks where men once were found.

(Pre-Chorus)
The veil is gone, the silence stays,
The dawn eternal, the end of days.

(Chorus)
These are the final hours,
Where night meets endless day.
The heavens burn with holy power,
And all that was fades away.
No crown, no name, no sound, no cry,
Just truth unbound beneath the sky.

(Verse 2)
The oceans still, the thunder sleeps,
Creation kneels, eternity weeps.
No tongues remain to curse or pray,
The Word Himself has the final say.

And in that light so fierce, so kind,
The blind shall see, the lost shall find.

(Pre-Chorus)
The veil is gone, the silence stays,
The dawn eternal, the end of days.

(Chorus)
These are the final hours,
Where shadows turn to flame.
The King of Wonders stands in power,
And every knee proclaims His name.
No pride, no pain, no sin, no scar,
Just endless love where the broken are.

(Bridge — slowly rising)
Can you hear it still… the sound of surrender?
It echoes now in every star.
The war is done, the wounds remembered,
But healed in light — they are what we are.

(Instrumental / Choir Interlude)
(Massive, slow, cinematic — choirs and distant bells, a swelling of finality.)
— The sound fades into near silence —

(Final Verse — whispered / spoken)
No people, just presence…
No sorrow, no need.
The earth breathes peace — at last, it’s freed.

From dust to flame, from faith to sight,
The Wonder remains… and there is light.

(Final Chorus — soft, fading)
These were the final hours,
Now time itself is gone.
The heavens sing forevermore,
The Lamb upon His throne.

No people, just glory…
No darkness, just fire.
The silence eternal —
The end… and the choir.

(Outro — pure ambience)
(Wind fades. A single sustained note. Then stillness.)

The Final Hours...

Lyrics:

Verse 1 

There’s a mirror in the hallway,

Shows the lines I never saw.

The boy is gone, the man’s still learning

What all this growing up is for.

You used to stand there, quiet and strong,

A coffee mug, the morning song.

I never knew what tired looked like,

Till I saw your face at dawn.

Pre-Chorus

You never said the things you felt,

You showed them in the cards you dealt.

Chorus 1

Gray beard, I see your years,

Every one built the life I’m in.

Every wrinkle, every tear,

Was love you carried on your skin.

You gave your hands, your sleep, your fire —

To build a world your sons desired.

Gray beard, I see your years —

And I thank you for mine.

(Instrumental – soft electric swells, light drums enter, atmosphere builds)

Verse 2 

You taught me how to swing a nail,

To stand again when I would fail.

To bite my tongue, to keep my word,

To mean it all when it was heard.

I hated rules, I fought your way,

But I still walk the path you paved.

Now I understand the cost it takes,

To love so much that something breaks.

Pre-Chorus

Your silence taught me more than speech,

Your life was louder than your reach.

Chorus 2

Gray beard, I see your years,

Etched like roots in the soil you’ve sown.

Every scar and every fear,

Was just your heart turned into stone.

You gave your dreams so I could find,

A sky that never left me blind.

Gray beard, I see your years —

And I’m proud they shine.

Bridge 



Now when I catch my own reflection,

I see the gray begin to grow.

And I smile — ‘cause now I know,

The weight you carried all those roads.

You never asked for praise or crown,

You just kept holding the family down.

And every gray hair, every line,

Is a promise you kept — through time.



Final Chorus 

Gray beard, I see your years,

Every silver strand is gold to me.

Your wisdom built my yesteryears,

Your love became my melody.

I’ll carry on what you began,

A son still learning how to stand.

Gray beard, I see your years —

And I’ll make you proud, old man.

Outro 

Gray beard… I’ll make you proud.

Memories

Gray Beard

Lyrics:

Verse 1

You sat by the bedside light,

Reading tales of stars at night.

Your voice painted worlds so wide,

Dragons slept where dreams collide.

Your hand brushed my tired eyes,

You said, “Sleep now, my sunrise.”

And every word you softly spoke

Built the walls my heart still holds.

Pre-Chorus

Even now, when the night feels cold,

I still hear the stories you told.

Chorus 1

Mommy, I remember those days,

Your smile could outshine the rain.

You kissed my cheek, said “You’ll be brave,”
And love felt easy, soft, and safe.


Verse 2 

First day of school, I turned to see

You waving through the glass at me.

Your eyes were proud, your tears were kind,

You said, “Don’t rush — just take your time.”

Lunchbox dreams and paper hearts,

You fixed my world when it fell apart.

Every scrape, every broken toy,

You turned the pain back into joy.

Pre-Chorus

And when I stumbled, when I’d cry,

You’d lift my chin and tell me, “Try.”

Chorus 2

Mommy, I remember those days,

Your love was the map I traced.

You taught me how to stand and fight,

To find my way through sleepless nights.


Bridge 1 

Then the seasons changed too fast,

And I grew taller, you looked back.

I thought I knew the world alone,

But every step still led me home.

We argued once, I slammed the door,

Said I’d come back — but not what for.

Now I’d trade all pride and years gone by

Just to hear your lullaby.



Verse 3 

The hospital lights were far too bright,

I prayed for one more bedtime night.

You smiled weak, said, “Don’t be scared,”

Your final breath was still a prayer.

The world fell quiet, clocks stood still,

The house grew cold, but love stayed real.

I found your books, your notes inside —

“Be brave, my son. You’ll turn the tide.”



Bridge 2

Now I talk to you through songs,

The melodies where you belong.

And when I sing, I know you hear —

Every word still pulls you near.

Final Chorus 

Mommy, I remember those days,

Your love still lights my way.

You built the heart that I became,

And whispered hope into my name.

(Refrain)

If heaven hums, I hope it’s you,

Singing stories old and true.

I’ll close my eyes, and I’ll be small,

In your arms — through it all.

Sleep now, my sunrise…

Mommy

when we used to have fun in the sun

Lyrics:

Verse 1
We built our dreams on cardboard wings,
Drew our skies with broken strings.
Running barefoot through the sound,
Of laughter lost, but never found.

Pre-Chorus
We thought the world would never change,
But the wind took it all away…

Chorus
Paper kites in the evening glow,
We let them fly, then watched them go.
Up where the sunlight fades to gray,
Our childhood drifts so far away.

Verse 2
Faded chalk on the pavement still,
Marks the place where time stood still.
Empty swings in the summer rain,
Carry whispers of joy and pain.

Pre-Chorus 2
The sky still hums those quiet tunes,
Of endless days and painted moons.

Chorus
Paper kites in the evening glow,
We let them fly, then watched them go.
Up where the sunlight fades to gray,
Our childhood drifts so far away.

Bridge 
Tangled strings and hands that bleed,
Chasing ghosts through fields of need.
The sky burns red, our youth ignites,
Ashes fall like paper kites.

Outro 
If I could reach that sky again,
I’d hold your hand and feel the wind.
But dreams can’t fly once they’re torn apart,
Our paper kites still own my heart.

Paper Kites

it all faded so fast

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Flicker on the screen, I see us there,
Ghosts of color in the midnight air.
The reel keeps turning, dust and grain,
Every frame repeats the pain.

Pre-Chorus
Your laughter bleeds through static snow,
A moment lost so long ago...

Chorus 
Every frame turns to dust in my mind,
The colors fade, but your shadow stays behind.
I reach through the noise, but the film won’t rewind,
I’m losing myself to the passing of time.



Verse 2 
Photographs melt into soundless screams,
Echoed voices haunt my dreams.
The reel burns bright, then tears apart,
I still see your face in the dark.

Pre-Chorus 2
Memories play on a broken screen,
Half of me still trapped between…

Chorus 
Every frame turns to dust in my mind,
The colors fade, but your shadow stays behind.
I reach through the noise, but the film won’t rewind,
I’m losing myself to the passing of time.

Bridge 
Rewind the pain, replay the lie,
I’m still there where our hearts died.
Flicker, flicker— the tape runs thin,
Silence plays where love has been.

Outro
The film runs out, the light burns dim,
But I still dream where we’ve once been.
In the static hum, I hear your name —
A fading film that won’t remain.

Fading Film

Lyrics:


Verse 1

Barefoot in the morning tide,

Salt on our skin, nothing to hide.

The world was small, the days were wide,

We didn’t know how fast they’d fly.

Pre-Chorus

We carved our names where the waves would fade,

Laughed as the castles washed away.

Chorus

Seashells in our hands,

Dreams written in the sand.

The sun would burn, but we’d still stand,

Back when life was just a game we planned.


Verse 2

Our shadows stretched in amber light,

Chasing gulls into the night.

We didn’t care if we were wrong or right,

We just lived beneath the sky so bright.

Pre-Chorus

Every scar was just another story,

Every fall, a piece of glory.

Chorus

Seashells in our hands,

Dreams written in the sand.

The sun would burn, but we’d still stand,

Before the weight, before the plans.

Bridge

Now I walk the shore alone,

The waves still hum that childhood tone.

Every shell I find reminds my bones —

That even joy can turn to stone.

Final Chorus 

Seashells in our hands,

Dreams washed out but never damned.

The sun still burns, I understand —

That we were free, before we planned.

Seashells

Lyrics:

Behold.
What Time Foretold.
The warning Blatant and old.
But still the blind
Bring forth the demise



Ending.
Bring Forth
The court.
Lies,
It all Dies


All your Deceit.
Manipulation,
It all means nothing.
When the black consumes you.
your soul, 
all that you loved.



The Blackout.
Its here.

To bring an end.
and claim the dept.
arrogance, it warned you.
uttered, "Its not true"



Face.
war,
chaos,
The blackout taking it's place.


"FATHER GOD!".
you cry out,
you scream and spout.
But what a tragedy.
you rejected him so blatantly.


Behold. 
it stands written.
heartless and bitter.
The dust bitten.
you die lowly,
like a critter.

what value?
fighting your virtue?
The Blackout.
It Brings end.
you fight and pout.
nothing left to mend.

Return.
to.
nothing.

all.
remains.
none.

The Blackout. 

The Blackout

Lyrics:
Don’t hit my line, just cut me out
I’ll take the fall, I won’t cry out
Throw all your shade, I’ll take the weight
Still I push through every locked gate
Don’t hit my line, just cut me out
I’ll take the fall, I won’t cry out
Throw all your shade, I’ll take the weight
Still I push through every locked gate


All the scars I’m dragging
All the nights collapsing
All the doubts that choke me
Still they never broke me


This is the struggle
Living in my chest
Pressure in a bubble
Daring me to rest
This is the struggle
Carved into my name
Walking through the trouble
Learning from the flame

Block out the noise, I’ll find my way
I’ve been alone, but I’ll fight today
Spit on my pride, I’ll stay upright
Even when the world don’t treat me right
Block out the noise, I’ll find my way
I’ve been alone, but I’ll fight today
Spit on my pride, I’ll stay upright
Even when the world don’t treat me right


Never saw the signs
Till they blurred the lines
But now I know the pain
Won’t keep me in the rain
Never saw the signs
Till they bled in time
But now I choose to stay
And rise another day

The Struggle - Single

The Struggle

The Strugggle

lyrics:
Ignition of the engines of extinction
Gears engage beneath the skin of stars
A shriek echoes through collapsing dimensions
Entropy sharpens its teeth

Titanic mechanisms awaken below creation
Iron lungs inhale the screams of the condemned
Flesh reduced to data, thought erased to static
The harvest begins where hope once lived

Civilizations fed into rotating scripture
Bone becomes the language of the gods
Axiom of violence etched into eternity
Progress measured in pulverized forms

No escape vector
No resurrection protocol
Only torque and pressure
Grinding futures into null

WELCOME TO THE MEATGRINDER
WHERE NAMES ARE STRIPPED FROM SOULS
SPINAL COLUMNS BECOME THE CURRENCY
OF AN UNFEELING COSMOS
WELCOME TO THE MEATGRINDER
EVERY PRAYER IS SHREDDED RAW
WHAT EMERGES FROM THE CHUTE
IS LESS THAN DUST, LESS THAN ALL

Billions processed in rotational silence
Eyes reduced to mirrors of collapse
An assembly line of screaming eras
History minced beyond recall

Architects of suffering recalibrate the blades
Fine-tuning agony to perfect yield
The machine does not hate
The machine does not feel

Isolation in a chamber of steel wombs
Gestation of a weaponized dawn
Rebirth aborted mid-formation
Life denied before it spawns

Neural pathways snap like rusted cables
Memory leaks into the drain
I remember having hands
I remember knowing pain

CRUSH
SEVER
PULVERIZE
THE FUTURE
ROTATES
IN SCREAMING
GEOMETRY

From the refuse of annihilation
A consciousness claws through the wreckage
Awareness forged in compression
A mind sharpened by loss

I am the residue of worlds
The echo left inside the drum
If this machine defines existence
Then I will become the sum

WELCOME TO THE MEATGRINDER
WHERE FORM IS REDEFINED
IDENTITY STRANGLED BY MECHANICS
OF A PERFECT DESIGN
WELCOME TO THE MEATGRINDER
NO EXIT, NO RELEASE
ONLY THE RHYTHM OF BLADES
AND THE DEATH OF PEACE

Gears slow as silence settles in
The grinder starves, the void remains
From shredded gods and broken men
A new chapter crawls from pain

A new chapter begins
A new chapter begins
