A bravery to explore the uncharted, While in suspicion our minds can be bordered. But have no use for a map, heart ache the enlightened All have shared. Misinterpreted by the ones who make logical Decency appear impossible. Worshipping a shell as a beacon of pride. Chorus: The Witness will not retribute your hatred. Find reflection in the flowing river of connected trails. Dealt a different hand upon every turn, proving the outcome can never be the same. This contradiction makes a life like this possible to bear. Chorus: The Witness will not retribute your hatred Of the subtle breaks between the separated self. Mongers of tragedy who hide behind disintegrating shields Claiming acts supported by an adored fear. By having tasted liberation my whispers have changed into the echoes of a shattered fist and a torn apart throat.

Song & Lyrics: While upon the pursuit for a final peace, All I've found is betrayal that leads to symphonies of heartache. The venom in my tongues dismay, mouth an open wound for nothing but diseased stress. Shouldn't that be enough? Gluttons for pain are you ever satisfied? A plethora of misdeed, forsaken skeletons for starved eyes. The wolves of misery have been fed; conditioned to salivate and heel by a master the slave never knows is real. But what if I told you what they're selling is burning the world to ruin and we've all bought a share in the down fall!? I'll take my chances while you remain afraid To question - I will not be cornered. The tyrant will never possess the upper hand My arms the hearse to their control - a strength within us all. Refusing to be a victim of infamy that anchors down free thought contingency. You see, abandonment was engraved in me I've let its curse rot away my mercy. Purging on this flesh till all have fallen, having no pity for Glorified addictions. When will logic and reason take the place of values collecting dust? Inhumane acts of treason, hold their place on a throne of deception. Ensure extinction to a falling kingdom - you're no longer safe in a casket of bones.

about

A split E.P done with our good friends WINGS DENIED.
Tracked at the Robert F. Gilley Studio at Appalachian State. This EP provides a darker tone than our previous full length album 'Enough Light To Warrant The Contrast' but still brings to the table heavy and aggressive grooves reflecting our classic sound. Enjoy!

The North Carolina metal group As Oceans has been described as crushing and furious with a unique take on heavy music. Earth-moving guitar riffs paired with vicious vocals and pounding drums, As Oceans grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. As Oceans’ music hauntingly fits with what is alluded through their name; a force of vast power and infinite mystery. ... more
