Cold rain trickles down the walls of the cell as each Day our path is lost Masked and cloaked by a siren’s song when May we learn of the cost Sold like animals for our skin we are Flayed by the devil’s knife To bask in the light of our absolution Pay the price of life Trading our freedom for a lie Tied to a post when we question why The small man speaks of another way But we look away, just like any other day Bloodshed with no regret Shrouding the greater threat Live on, but don’t forget The truth will hide just like any other day Chained to the wall to face our judgment Day brought by our gods Pained and broken but they still say we May defeat the frauds Whipped and beaten by the executioner’s Blade soaked with our strife Gripped by the reality that we must Pay the price of life Lied to society for the cause Smashed our people in the venomous jaws The lonely man speaks of another way But we look away, just like any other day Bloodshed with no regret Shrouding the greater threat Live on, but don’t forget The truth will hide just like any other day Missiles collide high in the sky Rain down terror with a digital eye The dead man spoke of another way But we looked away, just like any other day Bloodshed with no regret Shrouding the greater threat Live on, but don’t forget The truth will hide just like any other day
3.	To the Flames 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Forgive me father, the choir sings in lament The blood on my hands was drawn by your command Kneel down before the congregation Receive your holy immolation Sacrifice them to the flames They’ll never learn so we’ll watch them burn Sacrifice them to the flames Death will be served, for it’s what they deserve Forgive me father, the chaos spreads in my wake Give me an answer, why has it come to this? Kneel down before the congregation Receive your holy immolation Sacrifice them to the flames They’ll never learn so we’ll watch them burn Sacrifice them to the flames Death will be served, for it’s what they deserve Sacrifice them to the flames They’ll never learn so we’ll watch them burn Sacrifice them to the flames Death will be served, for it’s what they deserve
4.	Weight of the Dead 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Like a faded memory it haunts my mind There’s too much left behind A pain so crippling I can’t outrun I’m not the only one Lost inside a haze I’m locked inside a gaze Someone teach me the ways To reignite the blaze It grows inside me, this feeling of dread Now it consumes me, writhing in my head It’s taking over me, everything they said It slowly kills me, the weight of all the dead Like a twisted memory it hurts my mind There’s nothing left to find The wrath of crippling mistakes begun Why am I the only one Lost inside a haze I’m locked inside a gaze Someone teach me the ways To reignite the blaze It grows inside me, this feeling of dread Now it consumes me, writhing in my head It’s taking over me, everything they said It slowly kills me, the weight of all the dead Like a broken memory, I am undone I must be the only one
5.	Kill from Within 04:44	lyrics	buy track
Silently sleeping Unaware of the coming doom Unprepared for what awaits them after Their act of selfish greed For the good of mankind Simply exploiting their newfound power Violently open the gates of hell Release the horde No one can save us now Save us On they march from the undead graves Cursed to walk again Strike down those who stand in their way Feasting on their sin Slice the throats of their enemies To end their suffering Tear the flesh from the face of man They kill us from within Silently waking An eternity of torturous rest Ready to undo the damage that they have caused Vanquishing savior Slayer of demonkind The only one who carries good in his heart Violently open the gates of hell Release the horde No one can save us now Save us On they march from the undead graves Cursed to walk again Strike down those who stand in their way Feasting on their sin Slice the throats of their enemies To end their suffering Tear the flesh from the face of man They kill us from within Rise above a hate so coarse Stop the pain right at the source End the reign of black and night Bring to us the age of light On they march from the undead graves Cursed to walk again Strike down those who stand in their way Feasting on their sin Slice the throats of their enemies To end their suffering Tear the flesh from the face of man They kill us from within
6.	The God You Fear 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Place your hands upon the altar Pray for all your sins, my pardoning Close your book and open your old eyes Paving your own way, a wrongful thing You expected grace and praise for all the things you’ve done Now that time is up you see that I I am the god you fear, the holy one Pulling on the strings, your reign is done I am the god you fear, the evil one Pulling at your feet, your time has come I am the god you fear, the only one Pleading for your life, you try to run I am the god you fear, the vengeful one Pleading for the knife, thy will be done Die a broken, heartless villain Approach the golden gate, so beckoning The afterlife is for the pure of heart Crawling towards me now, your reckoning Hate and violation towards the ones that called your name Now that time is up you see that I I am the god you fear, the holy one Pulling on the strings, your reign is done I am the god you fear, the evil one Pulling at your feet, your time has come I am the god you fear, the only one Pleading for your life, you try to run I am the god you fear, the vengeful one Pleading for the knife, thy will be done Rejecting the wisdom of all those before you Creating deceptions in order to serve you Mindless, dependent, the masses will rise Blind to their leader’s heroic disguise I am the god you fear, the holy one Pulling on the strings, your reign is done I am the god you fear, the evil one Pulling at your feet, your time has come I am the god you fear, the only one Pleading for your life, you try to run I am the god you fear, the vengeful one Pleading for the knife, thy will be done
7.	Our Minds 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Why does it hurt just to hold on to hope In this world of pain we are all out of time Find your own way to silently cope With the reality of our new paradigm Putting an end to the people who hate Is almost as hard as it is to believe That we are okay and the leaders who wait For answers to come are just misconceived We suffer at the hand of our design We swallow all the pills while standing in line For our thoughts and our minds Told by the ones who create Why we are not to blame Blind to the path we take Bound by the deceit they proclaim Every day when a new victim falls The ground starts to shake as calamity calls We turn away and dismiss all that’s said For we know it’s safe, it’s all in your head Everything’s fine, there’s no need to fear If death was our fate, then surely we’d hear We wait for them to say how we should feel Please just open your eyes and we’ll start to heal Our thoughts and our minds Told by the ones who create Why we are not to blame Blind to the path we take Bound by the deceit they proclaim Raging inside my head I don’t understand all of the ignorance Lie still and let them beat you senseless Humanity has always gone on But dying is supposed to be wrong Instead of this conventional thing The loss of life has lost its own sting I don’t want anybody to change Just have a fucking thought for yourself We simply can’t afford to be late Like we always are

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.
