They're After You

You run away from the eyes staring back at you.
You fall down in an empty hole. Scared of yourself.
There's no way that you'll make outta here alive.
Their cold hearts keep your frozen down in your place.
You've never know how a gentle hand could ever feel.
No escape from this nightmared home.
Locked in your broken mind.
Won't stop. You can't pretend.
Break down your walls of hope.
And give in.
They're after you x3
You wake up to find the nightmare is all too true.
They touch you, make you feel like you're dead.
You try to wash away their dirty hands.
The mirror always reflects your pain.
You try to run but the chains hold on too tight.
Sufficate inside your cage.
Locked in your broken mind.
Won't stop. You can't pretend.
Break down your walls of hope.
And make you cry.
They're after you x6
Can you run away?

Verse
Wondering slowly, forceful insight.
Careless distractions, falling tonight.
Harness emotions, fear and blame.
Foreseen actions, chaos and shame.
Redemption in sight.
You feel your eyes betray your mind.
You're lost, into the night
Verse
Breaking the silence, that drives you insane.
Footsteps behind you, their inside your brain.
Fearing the spirits, that walk on the earth
You seek out the feeling, this burning rebirth.
Redemption in sight.
You feel your eyes betray your mind.
You're lost, into the night
Breathing in the fresh air, of the universe as it stays.
Your restless from these nightmares, that want you to break down.
The calming direction, of these winds that move by.
Can you answer all these questions, that destroy all our minds.
Redemption in sight.
You feel your eyes betray your mind.
You're lost, inside.
Broken in life.
You feel your hate betray your light.
You're lost, into the night

Who Owns The World

World peace, for those blind to the truth.
Saved Lives, do you really think that they care?
Fierce flame, our people burning alive.
Flowered lies, begining to understand.
Can the world survive?
With our blackened minds.
Rage of those bellow.
Chaos overflow.
Kids play, you feel the ignorance grow.
Mind games, bombs across the sky.
Hate breeds, blood floes through the streets.
Religion falls, to people ready to learn.
Can the world survive?
With our blackened minds.
Rage of those bellow.
Chaos overflow.
Do you feel alone? X4 (scream last)
Can the world survive?
With our blackened minds.
Rage of those bellow.
Chaos overflow.

Can't Be At Peace

Wait, i'm not insane! I'm just alone.
All by myself, can you take me home?
Breaking the glass, holding me back.
Voices return, but my mind is gone.
Hold out your hand, i won't accept.
For i am too lost, just carry on.
Terrors tonight, sleep won't return.
Everythings lost, i'm empty now.
Cold, eyes do not lie. Only the truth.
Why can't i feel? Where have they gone?
All that is left, what i don't want.
Are you surprised? Look at me now!
Can't see the scars? Their under my skin.
How many now? I've lost count.
But it's ok, that's what they say.
I can't be at peace, who am i now?

Through The Swamplands

Young men with the will to fight, for a country that is fallin apart.
Cannon fodder for the dreams of old, been lied to from the very start.
Champions marching so that we can survive, bringing hope to the fallen souls.
So raise your fists in the air to the show your respects, before we burry them in their holes.
Burnin'
All the solders were Gunin'.
All the people were Runin'.
All their minds were Breakin'.
Through the swamplands.
Cross the mountains.
Through the swamplands, we march.
Paranoia is your only reward, for watchin your brothers die.
Feel the weight of your consious grow, the pain is beginning to rise.
You see your enemies across the field, adrenaline comes again.
Two soldiers fight for someone's cause, will this nightmare ever end.
Burnin'
All the solders were Gunin'.
All the people were Runin'.
All their minds were Breakin'.
Through the swamplands.
Cross the mountains.
Through the swamplands, we march.

Distance

You try to hide, inside your mind.
Where they can't find you. You're safe inside.
Lies of caring, you can't run away from them.
They feel your pain, they feel your hate.
But they can't understand what makes you whole.
Fear drives everyone away from you.
Disdain. For shame. Degrade. Insane
Break your ties from people.
Don't let them inside.
Those who care will leave you.
Break your heart again.
They wonder why, you won't say hi.
When all they want's another piece of you.
Break like glass as you fall to the ground.
Why should you care, when they don't care?
Keep away so that you can be spared.
Distance all from life, so you can survive.
Disdain. For shame. Degrade. Insane.
Defy. They lie. Break down. Make no sound.
You try to hide, inside your mind.
Where they can't find you. You're safe inside.
Lies of caring, you can't run away from them.
Why should you care, when they don't care?
Keep away so that you can be spared.
Distance all from life, so you can survive.

Mark of The Gypsy

Inside the catacombs, into the dark abyss.
Your mystic words will reach them, you carve into their chests.
The ancient mark of gypsys, they warn of what's to come.
The dark one rises forward, his evil deeds are done.
Cold blood flows on the holy grounds.
Raise the dead, and carry out my words.
Cold blood flows on the holy grounds.
Raise the dead, and carry out my words.
They sacrifice their children. The inocence is lost.
The virgin blood is needed, to satisfy his lust.
Have all the people fallen into their dark desires?
The world has lost it's morals, so set the cleansing fires.
Cold blood flows on the holy grounds.
Raise the dead, and carry out my words.

Odin's Grace

By the light you follow down.
White mountains to the sky.
The power calls to you.
His wisdom holds you high.
Despair on those who hide
In the shadows of their hate.
Valhalla comes to those
Who live for honor.
Forgotten brothers.
Lost in their narrowed minds.
How they seek forgivness
For the lives they've taken.
Will they break through toxic mists
To find peace inside their hearts.
In the night you hear them call.
Run away or be pulled in.
Breathe in the poison, to hasen your end.
You follow the masses that reach out their hands.
Their battles are endless, to war or to Hel.
They call on their army who's souls they will sell.
Walk on the embers of social distress.
The fires will burn them from inside their chests.
Step through the people who get in your way.
Don't let them control all the words that you say.

Black Bog Newark, Delaware
The band had originally partially formed around 2012 under a different name. We then came together under a new name and new sound, now mixing together much of our influences and music genres we love. The bands name is a throw back to the first song we had originally made in our previous band. ... more

Right up there with Queen or Journey for a unique, world-class sound. Hard rock with hints of metal, sporting a brilliant pop sheen.

This guy’s drumming is off the hook, and his bass is, too. This album has more of a delta blues vibe than his last offering, and both are fantastic. For someone as prolific as he is, his technical progression is notable. I’d love to see what this guy would do with a band.

This band is fantastic. They evolved into more of a Graveyard or Witchcraft doomy blues-rock sound, but on this, their debut, they had one foot firmly planted in metal. I think I didn’t buy this one a long time ago because I was so caught up in their other albums, but having revisited it I think I like it the best. The harder edge lends new weight to the desert/stoner genre at large.
