Rebellious Sons
01:02
|
|||
|
it turns against all you've ever held,
what has been learned
pains gonna crack your cheeks and burn your limbs
CHORUS
i am a creature driven by fear and lust, and rage and pain
you've created my rebellious kind this is, your brand Shame
Hate exposure of a high dosage,
to possess your heart and your thoughts
to distort your mind and to kill your soul,
to wipe your mind of things falsely taught

The Ones Forgotten
02:02
|

|
We're out to get for what we want
Take it in our dismal hunt
strip you of your livelihood
strip you of your love
I'll bleed you
I'll hurt you
This pain you're gonna know

7th Level Mage
01:54
|

|
I take a walk down a little lonely street,
i'm looking for someone that i choose to meet
in this would i can be anything i wanna be,
in this world surviving's all that matters
CHORUS
Everything i've ever wanted right at my finger tips,
so i roll the dice and purse my lips
I'm poised and ready sittin' on the basement floor,
I cant think of a better way to waste my day
I slay every form of beast known to man,
i take'm down like no one else can
i use steel and spell in my battles everyday,
for a geek like me there's no other way

Lovers Lane
02:31
|
|||
|
The moon is full and the stars are bright
an eerie cold wind blows through the night
me and my girl snuggled tight in the car
from the hill top my sight sees so far
desolate so quiet there's no one around
no one can hear as you hit the ground
a faint breathless voice as you try to scream
as my hands grip your neck such a beautiful scene
my hair stands on end with a chill in my heart
your eyes roll back as your neck breaks apart
twisting and turning as i pull off your head
little you knew that tonight.....you'd be dead
crying in disbelief for what i have done
yet laughing and smiling since your love i won
your soul i have stolen its the ultimate sin
so quickly its over that's it....i win
chorus
crying in laughter as i watch you die
crying in laughter as i hear your cry

Metroid
02:54
|
|||
|
Alien hoards invading planets
consuming everything that's in their path
bounty hunters flying through space
the only ones fit to save our race
paving a path of mass destruction
its pointless against her construction
Samus samus samus samus
with gravity suits and icy rays
missiles and an ex-ray gaze
with bombs and a powerful phazer
super-power-ups and grappling lasers
no one can stop her high tech hunting
it makes her grin to hear them grunting
samus samus
Burning through the opposition
she is on the highest mission
the only way to collect her fees
is to annihilate the planet zebes
Mission accomplished job well done
she sets her sights set on fun

Desecration of Authority
02:39
|
|||
|
sometimes i turn on the news
it all makes me so confused
mothers killing their kids
fathers flipping their lids
kids committing suicide
kids committing matricide
all the shit that's in my skull
without this life would seem so dull
this is dedicated to the necrophiles
murderers rapists and pedophiles
this is our anthem to you
keep on doin' what you do
killing and making wills bend
you'll meet a terrible end
we'll make sure of all that shit
watching you burn

When It All Comes Back
02:10
|
|||
|
Got all your ends tied and your story straight
cover your footprints its not too late
he's asleep in bed cause you got home late
another perfect night and a clever escape
Wake up the next day don't suspect a thing
poor guy all alone so loving so trusting
i know i shouldn't do this cause it feels wrong
but what he doesn't know wont hurt him i'm having fun
(chorus)
Bittersweet in the end, when it all comes back to you
what comes around goes around, and its going to hurt you
She cant possibly believe i don't know what shes doing
what she does where she goes and who shes screwing
he'll use her and leave her for someone else
at least for her i'm still alone alive and well
soon she'll find out that i know what shes up to
ill leave her a letter telling her what i went through
and when she gets home ill have a big surprise
when i shoot myself in the head looking straight into her eyes
What you gonna do now
nothing
its all over
Bittersweet in the end, when it all came back to you
what comes around goes around and its going to hurt you

Second Time Around
01:50
|
|||
|
All goes quiet as the winds all calm
the leaves in the still trees tremble
all goes quiet as the winds all calm
as the mountains and the valleys crumble
(chorus)
The clouds roll back as the trumpet sounds
a rain of flaming embers falls to the ground
choirs of angels sing in fury
taking part as the judgement jury
The light breaks through
All time is spent
as the son descends
Quaking and crumbling
all manners of life fleeing
the second time has come around
quaking and crumbling all manners of life fleeing
all righteous knees hit the ground

My Time Will Come
02:30
|
|||
|
Been up here for what feels like forever,
the lights getting dim i'm kept awake by the screaming
I wonder if i made the right choice,
i question my father and i curse his voice but
In the blink of an eye i can end it all,
i give one word my men would kill them all
The pain the thirst how much more can i take,
but i feel in my heart the will to go on cause
i know my mission and i will not falter,
the weight of the world rests on me
but still my heart is broken and my will is shattered,
i gave them everything and this is my end but
i never thought he that walked with me
would be the first to walk away
after all i taught and the example i gave,
they turn on me and spit on my grave
They can do all they want to keep me down,
but i'm coming but to claim my crown
this is my world now and i'm takin' it back,
this is my world now and i'm taking it back cause

A Time Before
02:58
|
|||
|
i wish i could find the words to say
how i'm feeling now
but i can see in your heart the will to stay
and make it work somehow
(chorus)
if i could find that time before
you know i'd take you there
and i'll pray someday ill find that place
i'll take you there
and i feel that the time has come for you
to say goodbye
but if you'd only feel the soul inside
you 'd know i'd die
and i know you'll find that place for you
and i won't be there
and you know ill find that place for you
and i will meet you there

There you stand
you love no one
sever faithful heart
when i thought
that you were mine
burn my loving heart
i took your pain
its all i could find
flames consume my mind
now i know
that you're the one
kill my soul for fun
Devil Girl

devil girl
you won't never be

Hate You
01:43
|
|||
|
In youthful years you hurt so much
i guess i'm the one to blame
you sat right back and i took the hurt
this is your favorite game
never stop to think of the feelings of others
your love ill never see
i hate you for what you've done to me
hate you for what you've done to me
I hate you for what you've done to me

Won't Die Angry
01:48
|
|||
|
You can try and bring me down
but you will never succeed
you can try and bring me down
but you will never beat me
I wont die
I wont Die
I wont die
angry
I get down on my knees and ask why
but i just know if i keep reeling
you'll never leave my side
You can try
try and bleed me
but i'll never run dry
you might think that you defeat me
but you cant defeat my mind
unloved and beaten but i'm deceiving
you'll never know
i don't need you
i don't need them
this love never dies

All I Know
02:09
|
|||
|
infatuation strangulation
strip me of my life
tie me up and beat me down
cut through me like a knife
now you got me in your grip
nothing can be done
every night you torture me
your pain feast has begun
emotional slave, do as you wish
possession of my brain
no hope no love no joy no care
take me from whence you came
i begged and i pleaded
i asked you please girl let me go
no you got control of me
now you got control of me
how you got control of me
your hate is all i know

(lyrics by the legendary Tyrone Duncan)
Lifes great adventure came to me
they passed me up with no light did i see
they passed me up with room to spare
they made me want to grow long hair
Ty Song
Though life was good
death comes in mysterious ways
i loved her but now i want to kill her
she made me want to scream but shes no good for me
The last time i saw her
her body was on me
oh i thought i knew her but that's what was wrong with me
oh i thought i knew her but that's what was wrong with me
oh i thought i knew her
but now shes killed me

Riffy death punk from Canada. Also some of our favorite people.

Casket Spray

Six songs of death, love, and horror movies. Stomping bass and doom and gloom guitar riffs fronted by Shadow's unique beautifully soulful vocals. Good spooky stuff!

The Funeral Cortège
by Shadow Windhawk and the Morticians
supported by 10 fans who also own “Self Titled”
My first instinct is to call this album “objectively beautiful.” The fact is, it’s so masterfully poignant that I’d be comfortable recommending it to anyone, no matter their level of familiarity with horror punk.
