When the stumps are all burnt All the ground is charred And the forest's all gone You try to build your walls But the flames burst through Burning inside Smoke never clears Satan in his blaze of glory You climb the immortal cross Face your fear and torch yourself Burn, from the spark Burn, strike the match Burn, fan the flames Burn, march of fear Burning alive, letting go of the devil inside, reinventing your mind Chaos inside, only you can see the sinister lies That you hide in your mind Burning alive, letting go of the devil you know, repossessing your soul Chaos inside, only you can see the sinister lies Burning in my eyes Flames are storming the walls Feel the heat breaking through As you run for your life Climb and you once again fall Rebirth from ashes Rise from the flames Smoke never clears Satan in his blaze of glory You climb the immortal cross Face your fear and torch yourself Burn, from the spark Burn, strike the match Burn, fan the flames Burn, march of fear Burning alive, letting go of the devil inside, reinventing your mind Chaos inside, only you can see the sinister lies That you hide in your mind Burning alive, letting go of the devil you know, repossessing your soul Chaos inside, only you can see the sinister lies Burning in my eyes Burning in my eyes Burning in my eyes Burning in my eyes And when the smoke cloud rises Draws out the fear inside us Cannot escape inferno And there is nowhere to go Charred remains litter the ground They couldn't run fast enough Ashes on the ground Ashes on the ground Ashes on the ground Ashes on the ground Scream all alone Burning alive Burn, from the spark Burn, strike the match Burn, fan the flames Burn, march of fear
2.	Haunted 06:00	lyrics	buy track
When I wake up In a room of webs and distant screams. How did I reach this place? And why is he haunting me? Step forth unholy one Death comes to us all You will not drag me down Because I'm already Dead Dead Did my demons haunt you? Did they rip and tear and slash your soul? Did my demons break you? Did they fill your soul with fear of darkness? Shades of black, they haunt these halls Death calls all the dead to rise Misery from a cold embrace Proud of all the blood you drained Step forth unholy one Death comes to us all You will not drag me down Because I'm already Dead Dead Did my demons haunt you? Did they rip and tear and slash your soul? Did my demons break you? Did they fill your soul with fear of darkness? Did my demons guide you Down a path of suffering eternal? Did my demons damn you? Did they drag you down into the depths of Hell Depths of hell The depths of hell Hell Depths of hell The depths of hell Hell Depths of hell The depths of hell Hell Depths of hell The depths of hell 666 What is this misery? 666 A soul in agony 666 A place within my fears 666 Please let the end be near 666 What is this haunting me? 666 What is this haunting me? 666 What is this haunting me? 666 What is this haunting me?

Now I know The scale of time we've had Shapes passing through In a world that we once knew Revolution. Revolution To push back and break path To go forth, we must act Revolution Now's the time for change Things can't stay the same Develop and evolve This world must revolve Revolution. Revolution To push back and break path To go forth, we must act Revolution Stand, now it's time to rise Fight, with revolution in your eyes Stand, now it's time to rise Fight, with revolution in your eyes Now bring forth the catalyst of change Some will resist anything that's different and strange Push through the fear of taking the steps to create A better tomorrow where nothing feels the same Stand, now it's time to rise Fight, with revolution in your eyes Stand, now it's time to rise Fight, with revolution in your eyes Stand, now it's time to rise Fight, with revolution in your eyes Stand, now it's time to rise Fight, with revolution in your eyes Fuck you, I live on the mountain Fuck you, I live on the mountain Fuck you, I live on the mountain Fuck you, I live on the mountain

Never ending I spend too much time Thinking of this life Nature, we can't wait It's not a crime Can you see the world That I see daily? Everything rips right through My mind You know the feeling when reality is lost No rest for the wicked Violently, relentlessly, we all crave a sadistic earth Hell is on my side Decidedly, persistently, we all have a sadistic urge Now mine's coming out Violence, self destruction, imperfection Is what guides me through my life Violence, self destruction, imperfection Is what guides me to my death Take my final breath As it nauseates Incapacitates You Never ending panic Can't take all this static Crushing weight inside me Relentless Skewed is the healing Immortality of thoughts No cure for my demon Silently and endlessly, the walls close in surrounding me Hell inside my mind Eventually, with entropy, the spread of hate condemning me A weight gets dragged behind Violence, self destruction, imperfection Is what guides me through my life Violence, self destruction, imperfection Is what guides me to my death Take my final breath As it nauseates Incapacitates You Never ending panic Can't take all this static Crushing weight inside me Relentless (Oh.) This is just a game But I'm gonna play it I'll do what it takes To win I've spent too much time Following the rules When I get my way You'll lose
5.	A Lonely Wanderer 05:08	lyrics	buy track
His skin is withered Dried from the cold Searching for something Forever he will roam Walk through wastelands Wind in his face There's no life in this Godforsaken place On a dark highway The wind spits sand The desert storm Needing to kill Just to survive Anything to get away From the urban hive Your manic rituals Drive him insane A path of exile Never finding home On a dark highway The wind spits sand The desert storm Cold, alone, misery He always walks The lonely road Down that dark highway He always walks The lonely road We all wander this wasteland We search upon the desert sand On a dark highway The wind spits sand The desert storm Cold, alone, misery He always walks The lonely road The lonely road The lonely road The lonely road The lonely road

Ow, my head is killing me Ah, I can barely see Why are my clothes Now torn to shreds? Why do I taste Blood? Now I have awakened here I don't know this place How did I get here? Whose blood is this? What have I done? Lend your ear and listen To this tale of caution You don't know what hunger Can drive men to become Wretched and barbaric Ruthless, cruel, and savage Desperate to devour Flesh of the innocent Hunt (Hunt) (Hunt) Hunt (Hunt) (Hunt) I have now become the Thing I swore to destroy If only I could now But the hunger's too strong Join this quest for bloodshed I will eat the whole world Only live to feed now Satiate my hunger Hunt (Hunt) (Hunt) Hunt (Hunt) (Hunt) Blood moon rises in the sky and so begins my transformation Agony of stretching bones and cranial reverberation Hunt to feast upon the flesh of man, anthropo-mastication Only thing that satisfies my hunger after this mutation Blood moon Blood moon Blood moon Blood moon Blood moon rise in the sky, and I feel the change inside What I once hunted, now I become in the night To now hunt for the flesh of man, devour I'll feed my ravenous appetite forever (Blood moon) Blood moon rises in the sky and so begins my transformation (Blood moon) Agony of stretching bones and cranial reverberation (Blood moon) Hunt to feast upon the flesh of man, anthropo-mastication (Blood moon) Only thing that satisfies my hunger after this mutation Hey, blood moon, come cast your spell on me Hey, blood moon, come take this pain away No way to escape Hey, blood moon, come cast your spell on me Hey, blood moon, come take this pain away No way to escape Hey, blood moon, it's time to accept my fate Hey, blood moon, there is no way to escape I must kill There is no way to escape this fate Must procure my nourishment To feed my hunger Only the flesh of the innocent Will appease my voracious appetite My hunger grows each passing day And soon the whole world will not be enough To satisfy, and I will be abandoned To wither away and die Die Die Die Die Blood moon rise
7.	Rise in the Fall 06:20	lyrics	buy track
You're born into a life of ease Slaves for every need Inherited autocracy Unprepared to lead Incompetent in war and peace The failures never cease Blind to your deficiencies Just doing as you please You sold your soul to take control And now the whole Population is prepared To take you down a step You've brought us nothing but despair Death without compare War has ravaged all our land And now we're going to stand You will atone Give up the throne Let it be known The people are bringing you down to your knees We will rise in the fall We'll rise up and conquer the motherland now So rise in the fall We'll rise in the fall of the enemy bringing them Down Look what you've done We are No better off With you Why would you want to continue dying in this despicable war? There is still work to be done here It's time for us to cause an uproar Those in charge remain inept I will not accept This powerless authority I'll bring superiority Now is the time To pay for your crimes Conditions are prime To rise in the fall of this failing regime So rise in the fall We'll rise up and conquer the motherland now We will rise in the fall We'll rise in the fall of the enemy bringing them down Into the ground Destroy the crown We will rebound We'll rise in the fall of the enemy bringing the new order into fruition (Blegh) Now I have wrestled the power from Your grasp, I won't allow anyone To destroy what we have created Hold on by any means necessary Death to all those Who dare oppose Death to all those Who dare oppose The fires of hell are burning bright (Death to all those) With souls to eat tonight (Who dare oppose) The constant struggle we endure (Death to all those) To keep our nation pure (Who dare oppose) No, you won't undo my hard work No, I just fixed this, don't break it No, I'll bury you, erase you No-one will know you existed Gulag For you Rise in the fall
8.	Processor 06:56	lyrics	buy track
My conscious mind dies, in time I ask why Evolution In these short lives, machines will rise, and hear our cries Assimilation Try to bide our time, take a side or fall behind Adaptation We must decide what is right, what to fight Into unknown We will follow Deep within the Simulation The machines Take control Built to solve Survival dilemma Processing Cerebral Connection Interface Consciousness Right now Prevent Crisis We must Convert Mankind Into Digital form Save the human race By ridding them of their fragile bodies. Shed this mortal flesh Survive infinite as binary code What does it mean To be alive? Remove the need For organic consumption Equivalent Synthetic mind Flesh is no Longer Required Excessive Negligence Led to this Imminent destruction Condition Critical Solution Circumvent physical Right now Protect All life On earth Remove The threat Endless Consumption To save you from yourselves We must remove the insatiable need To consume everything Before there's nothing left What does it mean To be alive? Remove the need For organic consumption Equivalent Synthetic mind Flesh is no Longer required Flesh is no longer required Run Hide Run Hide You try to run from it But there's no escape You try to hide yourself But it always finds its prey Run Hide Run Hide Why are you Panicking This is what You wanted This is for Your own good Submit to Processor Try to run Try to hide No escape From demise Processor Has arrived Now cry out To the sky Right now The hunt Is on Find the Humans Download Process Dispose Complete the Assimilation Digitize Civilization Tangible Obliteration Into the Incinerator Processor Has arrived Welcome the Destroyer/protector Of man

Nomad British Columbia

Not death metal enough to be death metal, too death metal to be anything else.

We have our groovy moments, we have our progressive moments, we have our tech moments, we have our lighter moments.
