Blood Moon 04:51
Blood Moon The forests were slashed and burned To fight off the black descending on earth All the watchfires that glowed Are now ashes that fall like snow From the beacons no light The cities fell into night. And the pall bearers marched Carrying kings into the endless dark Mothers tears devoured by the frozen ground And the war was fought Stabbing bayonets into the dark And death was relief for the birds and the beasts Chasing embers of a dying sun Blood moon Blood moon Blood moon Black doom Burning no more Not flicker of light in the dense pitch of the world The vultures they fly Hanging heavy in the lifeless sky The sound of despair is their only guide The quest to light the flame The struggle for a reason Quiet all the screams Howling at the blood moon Blood moon Black doom The earth no longer breathes Frozen dead seasons Remnants of the trees Digested by the black doom Black doom Blood moon Lyrics: J.Bridges Music: J.Bridges, M.Brandi, D.LaVoie

Ghost Lights 05:16
Ghost Lights It’s growing darker these days beaten paths have grown over darker it grows now can’t find the way faint lights appear in the distance they call and beckon your approach as night cloaks its getting colder can’t find the way in their hands your fate the Will of the Wisp they will lead you astray Will of the Wisp Don’t follow the light Don’t follow the light Don’t follow the lights... Metacomet is seeking his vengeance beating wings echo from above Hell-hounds are prowling this forest with eyes ablaze fog seeps around wooded altar holy ground, blessed, blood-soaked spirits out searching for the Belt with eyes ablaze Lyrics: D.LaVoie, M.Brandi Music: D.LaVoie, M.Brandi, J.Bridges

Shadowfang 05:26
Shadowfang Way down in the hollow You find me there Haunted by your lonesome stare Wandering and waiting On the morrow Kissing your tears Feeding on your fears Frightened by fangs in my shadow You run Hiding in the light til dawn Scared of the thing you wanted All along Hiding in the light til dawn Memories of the lost Battles never fought Linger in the dark halls In dreams your followed Cascading down like weeping willows A darkness that surrounds It's fingers clawing, calling you out Frightened by fangs in my shadow You run Hiding in the light til dawn Scared of the thing you wanted All along Hiding in the light til dawn Memories of the lost Battles never fought Linger in the dark halls Phantom voices call From a past that's dead and gone And echo in your dark heart Lyrics: J.Bridges, M.Brandi Music: J.Bridges, M.Brandi, D.LaVoie

Land Gives Way Adrift in Sea of Shallow Graves Wine-dark recedes to return again Leaving brackish lines and scarring lives Blood-blue froth carve your way inside In Siren's Song, a Perigean Line Land gives way Suggesting tails of hands that guide Land gives way In Vapor Sea, a voyage blind Land gives way Salted wounds from Cosmic Tides Lyrics: M.Brandi Music: M.Brandi, J.Bridges, D.LaVoie

Dirty War 06:24
Dirty War There are no good wars anymore The film stock before Made softer, the gore The firebombs in Dresden glowed so much more Warm And all the good, brave soldiers Killed with fashion and fervor And genocide was a reason to fight Now heroes are ghosts The night in their eyes Is rage in disguise Their families are lost Their glycerine eyes Give in to a lie A bullet in the heart A bullet in the back A bullet in the heart A bullet in the back They're fighting a dirty war The franchise of death Sells it to the poor And stores all the human blood And keeps it warm Ooh warm And all the storytellers Photographing murder Cropping limbs for glory and lies Now heroes are ghosts The night in their eyes Is rage in disguise Their families are lost Their glycerine eyes Give in to a lie A bullet in the heart A bullet in the back A bullet in the heart A bullet in the back Somewhere there's bullets for us all Somewhere there's bullets made for hope Lyrics: J.Bridges Music: J.Bridges, M.Brandi, D.LaVoie

Pocket Bible 04:17
Pocket Bible Raise the crosses on the hill. Slay the aboriginals Sharp minds now lackadaisical False light bends their will. From chariots the highborn glare. Their soulless glance a vapid state. False gods, a pointless existence Unmoved by empty prayers So c'mon string us up You fascist motherfuckers On the cross, The masses love dead martyrs. Bleed us thin, There will always be another Bleating sheep, One eye for another. They'll drink their fill, While we master how to suffer. Who's penned in, when butcher comes to slaughter? Lyrics: M.Brandi Music: M.Brandi
