May is Mental Health Awareness month. Last year we released the single, "In a Land Without a Sun". This year we decided to revisit the song, remix it, and make an accompanying video: https://youtu.be/SxbJMvKhm98

In re releasing the revamped version of this song as well as the video, we are desiring to not just offer some hope to people that are in a darkness, but we are also trying to raise money over the month to give to an organization that helps in the care of the hurting.

We will be offering the song as a free download on Bandcamp (https://warpriest.bandcamp.com/track/in-a-land-without-a-sun), but any money that people spend on it will be donated. We are also offering a shirt and a sticker for sale on our website as well.

Both Elis and I have dealt with mental health issues in our family as well as our own lives. With this song I chose to describe some of the feelings of dealing with the hopeless feeling as well as saying that there is hope. There are people out there that care about you in your struggles. Don't give up. Don't give up hope. Wait for a "star" to guide you back to the light.

In a Land Without a Sun

For this Halloween, I decided to release a song to tide fans over till we come out with our next album. This spooky song has a bit of a gothic feel and vibe to it and is based on a true story.
Filmed by the lovely and talented Elis Wilson.

LYRICS:
I search these lonely halls,
looking for what's mine.
Empty rooms and closed doors,
is what I find.

You walk this lonely earth,
searching for peace of mind.
Empty hearts with empty worth,
is all you find.
____________________
I'm the ghost!
That haunts your dreams.
I'm the one who wakes you up,
and makes you scream!

I'm the ghost!
That makes you fear,
the red, hot flames of hell,
that you can't bear!
____________________
I knock upon your door,
to rouse you from your sleep.
I trouble your soft slumber,
to pull you from the deep.

I want to take your chains,
make them mine to set you free.
Turn to me and say my name,
to find your peace.

The Haunting: a Ghost Story

O Come O Come Emmanuel

My take on a traditional folk Christmas song.

I Wonder As I Wander

A real heavy hitter of a fire and brimstone song about the judgment day. This is a cover of a classic. And it is FREE!

Sinnerman

Beware of Krampus this Holiday season!  

Lyrics: 
I know who's good,
and I know who's bad;
I know your deeds,
and the thoughts you've had.

I know you,
in your deepest darkest times;
I come to take you,
for your evil crimes.

You hear my hoofs,
out in the snow;
you hear the chains,
and the wind howling low.

You feel my breath,
down the back of your spine;
You hear me laugh,
as you run out of time!

Krampusnacht

There's only one,
who can save your soul;
and pay the tax,
For your sinful toll.

The Son of God,
Was cursed upon a tree;
To take your place,
If only you believe.

Warpriest - Krampusnacht

I wrote this song to entertain all those quarantined because of COVID-19/Coronavirus. It's a dark song for a dark time. Hope it helps you through this period. Wash those hands and stay home!


LYRICS
A shadow creeps across the lands,
breaking apart the world of man;
a stain upon our pale white flesh,
that spice and herbs can not refresh.

Bar your doors and bow your heads,
hope to God they don't count you dead;
no deeds of great can save your soul,
as Death arrives for his due toll. (to take his toll)


CHORUS
The Black Plague around us
The Black Plague is here
Who will clean our souls and
save us from despair


Swarm of fleas they bite your skin,
festering the boils of your sin;
The night air filled with bitterness,
A fever from the serpents kiss.

Wash your hands and clean your hearts,
mourn and wail and grieve apart;
cry out to God for mercy's sake,
before the hour gets too late!
