Closed Eye
02:27

Open the third eye to your mind
Regrets revenge, dark things to find
Anger spirals out of control
Relentless the voices push and pull
Fake expressions and lies outright
Misleading the one's a lie
Grasping at straws that will find
We've reached empty heights
Fill the wells and ourselves
Salt the ground after it's been reaped
Blinders keep paths straight along
Won't see what lies ahead
Open the third eye
No mind you're blind
Path is shrouded
You're pushed and pulled
Stabbing the third eye
The prick, the burn
Over the top now time to die
Shroud of fog a bell tolls
Fall behind this is the line
A step, a stumble, the pit fall
To find no more, no mind, you're blind
Awake but still asleep missing
The points we teach
Unknowing and unwilling
Screaming and still unheard

Silence, find inner peace in this life
Alone burden that you bear
No one knows
No more well wishes
That only give hollow hope
Final trip that you take
Down this path all alone
Mercy, a cry for who
Hopeless, no more to do
Spirits passed beyond
Can't see through your eyes
A final grip goodbye
Last words never heard
Fight back, it all falls short
These things we cannot fix
A wound that will not heal
A candle with no light
All that you have taught
Will not leave me
A smile, a laugh, a word, a sigh
All that remains now
None will ever last
But what's been said
And what's been done
Turn and face the sun
A candle with no light
Spirit will return
Forever this runs

Tearing down myself this time
Step into your place in line
Crashing
Running
Searching
Failing
Things will never be the same
Step into this fucking game
Set the trap
To set you free
Close your eyes
Now you can see
Barely make it
Through another day
Step back in line
Say what we say
Awake to do it all again
Nothing in place
Of what's within
Keep up with a losing pace
Next in line to lose
The race to replace

Scalped
04:47
|

Finish the thoughts
Ascend the heights
To find a way
Lay still at night
A swirl of mist
In fog of minds
Of things begun
And left behind
Someday you will find
That you're stuck in your mind
Truth laid bare
The lies unwind
Revealing the truth
Is in your head
Deceive what's said
The stories that hide
The fallacies of life
The truths laid bare
Battered and bruised
What was abused
Scalped with a stone
None stand alone
It comes undone
Myth of a prodigal son
Souls that litter the way
Don't bother to pray

Ghosts Roam
04:10
|

On they ride through
The mist side by side
Defend the land shadows
March on to their last stand
Hear the cry
Fear no man
Spirits guide the hand
Was their right
No end in sight
Rise to fall stories
Will tell of what was saw
Forever the ghosts will roam
Onward through time
Without a home
Aim be true
See sorrows through
How they die
Die with pride
Truth be told
On what was stone
How they die
Die with pride

Ill At Ease
04:02
|

I lie awake at night
Gotta get through got to
Worries stressed
Knowing about a better life
Nothing has changed nothing
The air is getting thin
A cold sweat
That burns the skin
Again and again
Distorted faces grin
Each hour the wait begins
Struggling trapped in this cell
Freezing cold personal hell
Angered fist pounds

Rest With the Dead
04:55
|

None left to care, were we all wrong
When will this end taking too long
Left here to wonder what now is near
Existing alone living in fear
Throw me off the edge, let me go too far
Push me to end, I'll be back again
Feel all this weight
That's on our backs
Shoulders are curved
Soon to be flat
Just make us numb
Just live in our heads
If this is all, rest with the dead
Climbing, falling, soaring, drowning
Just make us numb
Soaring, drowning, losing, exist alone
Just live in our heads
If this is the end
Let's rest with the dead
What makes us numb
Just lives in our heads
If this is the end
Let's rest with the dead

Never Ending Daymare

As days go by I see a way
See a way to stay away
As our minds still sleep
Plagues disease live in me
Bear the mark swear the dark
Reign of sin, storms and wind
Skies of fire, man's desire
As our minds still sleep
I see a way to stay away
As days go by
Take a stand, kill the man
Nations cry, breathe a sigh
Sands of time, waves of crime
Entertainment for the dead inside
Life is death as days go by
See a way to stay away
Mind still sleeps
Life is death, breath by breath
Nothing's wrong when all is gone
Fight control, pay the toll
Slowly frown, tear you down
Try to rise, compromise
We all play this game
That can't be won

Orange Red Dead
02:05
|

Flame filled sky
Days of fire
Rocks and brimstone
The new ground
Blood fueled sun
Nowhere to run
Ash turns land
From all around
Praise the sound
Light burns dark, I see it
Bathed in fire, I feel it
Ancient ones are soon to come
Orange filled sky
Days of fire
Sky brings salvation
Welcome smiles
We open arms
Red filled sun
Who dares to run
Sun was worthless
It's finally gone

Whispers
03:29
|

Steel to the stone, spill blood
Thrown to the wolves, now they cut you
And bleed you and feast from your eyes
Crooked grins and a flash of teeth
Flesh torn from your face accused of wrong
From whispers and songs
The lies that are present
And death won't contest a shrill and a cry
A kiss of death brings your demise
Steel to the stone, spilling of blood
Blades now will fall, heads they will roll
Split to the bone
Embrace the violence
They care not and will not
And fear not the bloodlust rules this day
And the moment stage is set
Accused of a wrong
From the whispers and songs
The lies that are present
And death won't contest
A shrill and a cry
A kiss of death brings your demise
Whispers and lies that death won't contest
Whispers and songs, the lies that are present
And death won't contest a shrill and a cry
A kiss of death brings your demise
Mobs, black flags, roars from the crowd
For better of worse, steel and heads be wed
You're dead

Burn the Stars
04:13
|
|||
Broken and fearless
Watching the sand slipping from the dial
Leaving you breathless
And fading away
On the mountain destined to fall
Follow the path
Leaving you breathless
And fading away
Stuck in the past, an arrow remains
Blood moon rising, visions in flames
Burn the stars, blood moon rising
Visions in flames, burn the stars
Mark the way in secrecy
This a warning
Leaving you breathless
And fading away
Passing below cloaked
Shadows torches alight
Leaving you breathless
And fading away
Stuck in the past
An arrow remains
Face the north, light the bonfires
See the visions in the flames

Black Tusk Savannah, Georgia
Black Tusk was born from sweat. There was blood, and maybe a few tears, too, but more than anything, it was sweat that
marked the earliest years of Savannah, Georgia’s Black Tusk. Formed in 2005 by three lifelong friends—bassist Jonathan Athon, guitarist Andrew Fidler, and drummer James May—the band welded together what they called “swamp metal.”
