1.	Into the Eye 03:52	lyrics	buy track
Slowly consuming The storm approaches in the distant sky Please come with me into the eye Power of the gods descending Forces of nature now atoning Mistakes made by man now earning Penance for every sin and suffering Run to the hills Carving out your shelter in the ground Trying to save your life Slowly consuming The storm approaches in the distant sky Please come with me into the eye Look back on our children weeping Let down by the ones entrusting Evil has a way of hiding Good men seem to favor lying Run to the hell Do not fear the wall of churning rain We will not be destroyed Slowly consuming The storm approaches in the distant sky Please come with me into the eye Slowly revealing The darkness fades and the sun will rise If you come with me into the eye Inside the tempest We make our conquest Humanity falls fast Facing our apocalypse sent down from the sky Honest men forsaken by the vestigial lie Slowly consuming The storm approaches in the distant sky Please come with me into the eye Slowly revealing The darkness fades and the sun will rise If you come with me into the eye
2.	Iron Throne 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Relentless, unyielding You are unworthy of Everything you’re given Destroyer of the world Your subjects unloyal They must respect the king Killing in the name of Deluded suffering Fight the unseen evil in our Eyes wide open to the old Lies fed down to us by every Mind controlling our lives I don’t want to see the light Be shrouded by the night Sent down from the iron throne With strength and blade in hand We’ll solve the plight of man Killing off the iron throne Approaching the castle The army charges on Destructive, barbaric Eviscerate them all Your barriers defeated It’s time to make your stand Defending the madness That you hold in your hand Fight the unseen evil in our Eyes wide open to the old Lies fed down to us by every Mind controlling our lives I don’t want to see the light Be shrouded by the night Sent down from the iron throne With strength and blade in hand We’ll solve the plight of man Killing off the iron throne No matter what the cost We fight ‘til all is lost Hold your head up to the sky Soon you’ll see that I don’t want to see the light Be shrouded by the night Sent down from the iron throne With strength and blade in hand We’ll solve the plight of man Killing off the iron throne
3.	Calling out My Name 05:23	lyrics	buy track
I can’t see anything, I’m hopelessly lost If only premonitions had alluded to the cost Of simply being unaware I can’t feel anything, I’m going insane Blinding lights around me make it hard to ascertain Just how I entered this nightmare The pain of remembrance Choking out my breath Thoughts left unspoken Tormenting my weary mind I don’t want to be here, I want to feel alive But demons of the past need my uncertainty to thrive So I unleash it to the void I open up my eyes, ready to attack The evils that would suffocate me never looking back On everything that was destroyed The pain of remembrance Choking out my breath Thoughts left unspoken Tormenting my weary mind The pain of forgetting Memories of old Of time left unbroken Bleeding out the wretchedness Dripping from my eyes I tried to not look back But this vision reshaped me In a violent attack Of blissful agony I tried to not move on I longed to stay the same But the winds of change blow strong And they’re calling out my name Why can’t I breathe Why can’t I see I’ll never leave Please forgive me I tried to not look back But this vision reshaped me In a violent attack Of blissful agony I tried to not look back But this vision reshaped me In a violent attack Of blissful agony I tried to not move on I longed to stay the same But the winds of change blow strong And they’re calling out my name
4.	Sacrament 05:38	lyrics	buy track
They were written in the ancient scrolls Secrets so powerful no one could ever know Hidden in the lines of cryptic hieroglyphs But then along came men with souls of stone Greed turned to lust, insanity unfolds Curiosity led to the ritual Defending the sacred rite from Those unfit to learn the ways of old Bow down to me and embrace the light Cleansed, purified, made to end your fight Blessed by the gods, wicked sacrament Above mortal life, granted advancement Killing in the name of what they fear Destroying everything within the earthly sphere Foolishly set free the evil serpentine Ravenous, insatiable creature Invulnerable, perpetually endured Everything that the men could summon forth Defending the sacred rite from Those unfit to learn the ways of old Bow down to me and embrace the light Cleansed, purified, made to end your fight Blessed by the gods, wicked sacrament Above mortal life, granted advancement Blessing pulsing, power growing Champion of all of your kind Breathing heavy, weapon deadly Conquering the destroyer of time Bow down to me and embrace the light Cleansed, purified, made to end your fight Blessed by the gods, wicked sacrament Above mortal life, granted advancement
5.	Remember 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Lie alone beneath the starry sky Try to find the answers to our lives The wind sings tales of our forgotten memories The sun sets reminding us the world keeps spinning On and on Time will always pass you by All the missing pieces keeping us confined Cry another lonely night Together we remember the things we left behind Everyone has had to say goodbye But most of them are never asking why Some live and never stop to take a breath But I know the emptiness comes when you’re running On and on Time will always pass you by All the missing pieces keeping us confined Cry another lonely night Together we remember the things we left behind Hold my hand and gaze into my eyes You never have to be alone again Don’t concern yourself with all the lies You see, we all lose something in the end Silently reflect on all the marks you’ve made But don’t forget the only thing that matters is that you’re not afraid Time will always pass you by All the missing pieces keeping us confined Cry another lonely night Together we remember the things we left behind
6.	Blind Faith 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Shots ring out so hauntingly as the sun begins to rise Signaling the prophecy, the dawn of our demise Convincing the demons To protect the angels The voice of the choir Fight fire with fire Trying to heal our humanity Guided by those who caused our pain But they know the way of morality Killing ourselves with blind faith in their holy name Laying down inside their graves, sacrificed by man Fighting for their mindless slaves, doing everything they can This must be the answer We all must be wrong Stand up to the liar Fight fire with fire Trying to heal our humanity Guided by those who caused our pain But they know the way of morality Killing ourselves with blind faith in their holy name Shots rang out so hauntingly Yet no one dared to fight The monsters feeding hungrily On the blood spilled tonight Trying to heal our humanity Guided by those who caused our pain But they know the way of morality Using the evil ways they learned When we were the ones deserving the blame Standing around while worlds crumble Down at our feet, we’re wasting away Killing ourselves with blind faith in their holy name

about

This album combines heavy riffs and powerful melodies to deliver a thrash metal experience that is sure to satisfy. Thematically, the music revolves heavily around our society and the problems it faces. I wanted to channel the anger that many of us feel about the tragedies, the violence, and the ignorance of it all into something that could be used to take away some of that rage, so here is The Truth.
