GAME OF DEATH

Hold me back, harder than before it's
Not your fault, the timing wasn't right just, another mistake, burn me up inside with, my regret, you'll never see
All my life is in this moment, it's been so long it's killing me
And I know where to go yes you will be right there waiting,
In this place we erase that we used to be
Push me back, right where I belong it's, failing fast, all because you don't let me understand, why it's all wrong just bring me back where I once was
Let me understand
Let me understand
Let me understand
Let me understand
It's overwhelming me
It isn't enough
So close but far away
I am by nature, a dealer in words, they're most powerful drug known to humanity
I am by nature, the death of this world, I pull the strings of your demise
And I know where to go yes you will be right there waiting,
In this place we erase that we used to be so close
I am by nature a dealer in words
I am by nature the death of this world
I am by nature a dealer in words
I am by nature the death of this world

WOLVES ON A FENCE

Life threatening lifestyles
The one that made our lips turn blue
You tried to turn me off but you couldn't even turn me down
It's all about what we can't do, what we can
I'll be just fine, leave me here alone now just leave me
I'm still drowning
Don't waste your time, someone find my heart and give it a home
Till the edge, you'll see it's my fault
Making war just for fun
Just look at me now
Don't push your luck just get out of the way
I'll be just fine, leave me here alone now just leave me
I'm still drowning
Don't waste your time, someone find my heart and give it a, give it a home
Half psychotic
Sick hypnotic
Drowning faster
Fast as a shark

PEPE SILVIA

You latch on to the ears of the dead
Just for a moment
You lay down in the meadow of regret
Seeking your end
Inside you wanted something else
Seeking the truth
Worse things have happened to better people
Never again
Will you defy me
Step down from your throne
I've been treading for so long
Release me from what I've become
I know it's not quite right, to give in
Wasted life
Wait to die
Latch on to the the ears of the dead
Just for your moment
You lay down never get up again
Seeking the end
Get down now or never get up again, and again
You're seeking your truth
Worse things have happened to
Better people
Never again
Will you defy me
Step down from your thrown
Your eyes are wide open but your soul is shut
No more deception you denied it enough
Killing the feeling is all I can do
Revealing the worst and then seeing it through.
I've been treading for so long
Release me from what I've become
I know it's not quite right, to give in
Wasted life
Wait to die
Just for a moment

BEARDKING

I am the king
I see no place for hesitance or consequences
I break the walls of denial down
in due time your kingdom will be mine
Stand by, and watch them leave your side
Your fading semblance sees your end, but it's passed your time, to retract and find fidelity's design
Look inside for the answers divine
I destroy the walls that stop me
Death reigns in waves
For what it's worth
I am the cynical disciple
I don't need an explanation
I am the king
I am the king
I am the aesthetic we strive for
That speaks for itself
This calamity from vanity will see your fatality
Disrespect with reckless intent on humanity
You were never on my side, open your eyes, see you've been blind for too long
I am the king I don't need rules I regulate myself
I run so hard, yeah I run this shit
But what's inside the soul's what makes the worth
Don't look inside cause all you'll find is hurt
I destroy the walls that stop me
Death reigns in waves
For what it's worth
I am the cynical disciple
I don't need explanation
I am the king
I am the king
I am the aesthetic we strive for
I speak for myself

Fortune favors the bold
But your soul's still meaningless
Killing the truth till death denying this reality
It suffers deceit denying self destruction
Nothing more than an prying interruption
Blind eyes gaze at your deception
Corrupting everything and everyone around you
Betrayal doesn't end this vile, sick and wicked game
Lust in greed controls every selfish step you take
A deadly dose of the one you felt the most
Or so you claimed
Now that all seems so pointless
But who's to blame
Fool me once don't fool me twice
I see right through you
We'll see who lasts this time
Deceiving all who dare
Stand and defy the truth
Seeking the solace within your twisted lies
That burn what's mine
Killing my piece of mind
The only crime you'll find
No sacred place without a vital intervention
Underline over time the worst intentions
Decompose, now it's all just a memory
Never understood why it had to be this way
Now self loathe and grieve in your bitter state
Selfish acts lead to selfless mistakes
Saying the truth from the start could have saved your foul intent
To forgive and forget would be a fallacy
And fall prey to vain words on empty tongues
This idle heart seeks reparation through destruction
This animosity will quickly be the death of me, fuck
Deceiving all who dare
Stand and defy the truth
Seeking the solace within your twisted lies
That burn what's mine
Killing my piece of mind
The only crime you'll find
Lies inside your mind
Killing my piece of mind
The only crime you'll find
You know I'll be the last one standing
You'll see demise
We'll see who lasts just die
Fortune favors the bold
But your soul's still meaningless
Killing the truth till death denying this reality
It suffers deceit
It suffers deceit
Nothing more than a prying interruption

BLADE

Ignorance is bliss is as dangerous as kindness
There's no remorse in this world of sex and violence
Won't settle down all you want is to deny this
Your life is a monument to crisis
This burning pestilence to suicide is our divide
Consequence and no content will leave you bone dry
What you don't see is guaranteed to leave you nearsighted
But it's better to be free at least you decided
Lying and cheating and stealing my whole life away
Taking its toll on my mind and destroying my soul
Disarm demise destroy every life that you encounter
Entrance eclipse evoke a new meaning
Ardent accept arrogance with no benevolence
Don't lie you're dead deny your innocence
Lying and cheating and stealing my whole life away
Taking its toll on my mind and destroying my soul
Ignorance is bliss fuck it it's a crisis
There's no belief just denial in this mindset
Read through the lines these stitches are trifling
Understanding will only be stifling yeah

supported by 4 fans who also own “HEX”
One of my favorite albums, it's a shame this band never got more recognition. It's very hard to choose a favorite track, there are some clear standouts but each one is a banger. I love Stuart Sarre's unique vocal approach, that almost reminds me of Chester Bennington; he's now in Arcaeon, so keep an eye on them.

John Wolfe brought me here! This project is sick, this album made me fall in love with Artificial Construct. Keep being great, this is some great production music!
