lyrics

The abandoned mother cries
I feel her tears burn down my face
And before me lies a sanctuary fading

Caused by a gathering of the soulless
Looking for answers in a crypt.
Defending against unseen faces
in the current.
Behind a bridge that should have burned long ago

Hoping to fill a void
once full of Imagination
Now only left with moths and dust

Injections of hope only to dull the pain
From the blisters calloused in shame.

Conceived to keep the perverted chaos in check
A balancing act of life and death
Tainting innocence, encouraged animosity
and Profits from senseless battles waged,
Dividing the modern day serfs and kings

So many convinced the meaning of hell
is not complacency with
Shallow achievement.
How fast did a halo become a noose
Close minded existence -
disintegrating truth
Narratives of the wise mistranslated
Filtered through an agenda
invented to contain a bipedal flock of cattle

Waves that strike the ground
Will Wash away our foot prints
but never the sand.
Reshaping - but always giving life
At times it seems the damage was done at first light
For we were only born to take.
Never take for granted
The temples placed in front of us all
Landscapes whisper the answers

These days bring forth a savage scene
Stepping to the beat of the atmospheres war drum
Marching towards extinction
Blind of purpose and guilty of murder
Rotting while waiting to be absolved

As Oceans Boone, North Carolina

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
