Have The Lambs Stopped Screaming, Clarice? 03:42

Lyrics: I lay down in the water and I try to sleep But the only thing I'm thinking of is killing sheep How many lambs have I led to slaughter? How many lives have I irreparably broke? I'm sorry for the pain I'm causing I can't see the end There is no hope I know they say that the end justifies the means But is it worth it, is it worth it for me to give up everything? I know that pain is necessary to grow But I think this pain I think this pain will swallow me whole If this is what my life has lead to Causing pain to those I love the most Then let me die in peace and give them some relief I'll dwell in silence as a repentant ghost If I have to sacrifice everything I've known And leave my children with a broken home If this is what I have to do to get well Then I'll just end my life cuz I'll end up in hell I'll slit my throat or shoot myself in the head Won't slit my wrists to see the color red the Scars on my tattoos won't look good when I'm dead Throw me in with the fire and lions Make my mind like molten metal melt Silence the screams in my ever ringing ears Slit my throat and drag me to hell If you call my name I'll scream it right back in your bleeding ears If you touch my face I'll snap off the fingers that graced my skin If you look in my eyes and see I'm empty within I'll cut out your heart and show you your sin Your heart is as fucking black as mine I know they say that the end justifies the means But is it worth it, it is worth it for me to give up everything? I know that pain is necessary to grow But I think this pain, I think this pain will swallow me whole

A Bittersweet Story Of An American Tragedy (ft. Tyler Ennis of Ground Tracer) 03:32
lyrics

Lyrics: You were the victim of a car crash on a Wednesday afternoon Passing through an intersection Didn't have the time to move The other driver was too tired He was drinking all night long The consequences of his choices have ripped your life apart It isn't fair It isn't fair Married for less than a day It isn't fair It isn't fair An accident took her away She was taken away from you On the day she became yours You lived and she was taken Someone holy was mistaken The one who completed you Is now in the ground Now only half of you exists You woke up looking like a car crash On a thursday afternoon You never picked up the pieces Your life is now a wreck Finding comfort at the bottom of a bottle and hoping that these pills help you forget It isn't fair It isn't fair Your angel flew away It isn't fair It isn't fair You're left on the ground with broken wings But if she could see you now How do you think she'd feel? Emptying bottles of booze and pills Forgetting the memories won't help you heal If you could see how you're hurting her by trying to stop the pain Your wounding her with your wounded heart Let go and free your broken soul We both know she's not coming back And it hurts, I know Pick up the pieces of your broken life And let love heal your broken soul (Guest Vocals) After all your cards are played Last chance has been called Basking in this neon remedy Much the worse for wear Flourenscent horror on the pavement That isn't light at the end of the tunnel Now this wounded sky is crying Chilling my bones to their very core One futile moment to avoid collision I never even saw it coming A beautiful life ended far too quickly I'll light a candle for you my dear The consequences of my actions thrust onto my lap And now I have no choice but to pay for my mistake Oh God, what have I become?

Thrive 04:24

Lyrics: Be still and know that he is god. Be still and know that she is god. That they are god. That you are god. That we are god. We were meant for more than survival We were meant to be alive We are meant for more than we're living for We were meant to thrive Can you hear the cry of the planet? Can you hear the tears in the rain? Awake, awake oh sleeper And open up your eyes to our plight This can't carry on much longer We won't last much longer All creation cries unto itself All creation is itself We can't replace what we've already stolen But we can change to leave a better tomorrow We were meant for more than survival We were meant to be alive We are meant for more than we're living for We were meant to thrive Can you hear the screams of the planet? We rape our mother And kill our brothers In our pursuit of wealth Consuming ourselves out of house and home But it's not too late Return to our roots And learn to live in harmony We rape our mother And kill our brothers In our pursuit of wealth We were meant for more than survival We were meant to be alive We are meant for more than we're living for We were meant to thrive We were meant for more than existence We are meant to be alive We weren't meant to have just an existence We were meant to thrive

A Moment Is Only A Moment Away 03:21
lyrics

Lyrics: Put down that weapon son Plesse drop that pistol, daughter Listen to the words of those who've walked where demons tread When life is bleak and void of meaning You must find a reason to be alive You have so much to bring to the world Your absence is something I won't allow Did you ever stop to think You're not the only one feeling life is wasting away Turn back now It's not too late Everything you're searching for is just a moment away This is the song I scream to the ones who cannot hear If you are out there, I need you as much as you need me Please hold on til daylight darling please hold on You're standing on the edge But don't look down You don't have to walk alone I've been in the same pit you're in now I left a message scrawled on the wall in a familiar script Let the words fill your heart There is hope on that distant horizon Let the words fill your heart There is hope Did you ever stop to think You're not the only one feeling life is wasting away Turn back now It's not too late Everything you're searching for is just a moment away Rest in peace For all is well Run away with me my love Run away into the dark Chat Conversation End Sent from Messenger

Isle Royal Detroit, Michigan

After recording these 5 songs, a few of our members including the vocalist have left the band, leaving those of us remaining with a blank slate and some time for a fresh start. We will not be able to perform these songs the way they were recorded without the original line up, so we decided just to release them as a free download. We hope you enjoy listening to them, Thank you! ... more
