Dissect me
Digest me
Take everything I’ve ever said and ridicule me until I am dead
Paint me a picture of my insides
Of my failures
And my downsides
In a thousand words
Of a thousand times
Let me know how I ruined your life
Unbearable are we?
A youth I can’t escape
A life of an illfitted fate
My ghost haunts you
But these demons are haunting me

It Comes in Waves

I feel nothing but depression and anxiety
Will these feelings ever go away?
Life wasn’t meant to be this way
Im stuck in this dark hole
Scratching and clawing to get out
Suffering should not be what lifes about
I know we will meet our end
Mine might be met by my own hands
I don’t see an end
I can’t sit here and pretend
I don’t see an end
I cant pretend that everything is ok
These sick feelings
They come in waves
Its pushing me down into my grave
And even though everythings alright
Im not sure ill make it through the night
Theres no break in the clouds today
Look to the eastern light
And Ive prayed to gain insight
But these things did little for me
Struggling to find the light within
Buried so deep underneath my skin
Im fighting to survive and I have no idea why
Its human nature that keeps me alive
Theres no break in the clouds

Enslaved to One

One thought
One breath
One life
One death
Shackled minds
Entering the darkest times
Ideation comes
We are enslaved to one
A continuation being ensnared
The world is broken beyond repair
Battle hymns for the enervated
no hope to be regenerated
Anthems of anguish
Sonnets of despair
Our cries go unheard
For no one is there.
I’m running
I’m screaming
Am I dreaming?
No one is hearing
No one listens
No one cares
You don’t listen
You don’t care

Hang Tight

The time has come
To pick a side
Love over hate?
Or your selfish pride?
Your ignorance could cost you your life
Your hate will leave you hanging tight
Like lambs led to the slaughter,
You were force fed lies
Hanging on to the twisted mindset
Until the day you die
A war we’re still fighting for hundreds of years
We reopen the wounds while we’re trying to heal
Racism and sexism destroy all our hearts
I will not stand by while we tear each other apart
I will defend all the ones I love
From your abuse – we will rise above
Rise above the pain
Rise above disdain
Rise above stand tall
Rise above it all
Rise above the fear
Rise above the tears
Rise above stand tall
Rise above it all
The time has come
To pick a side
Love over hate?
Or your selfish pride?
Your ignorance could cost you your life
Your hate will leave you hanging tight
Like lambs led to the slaughter,
You were force fed lies
Holding on to the twisted mindset
Until the day you die
And you will die
Its time to sever the ties
Prepare for your demise
Break it down
Tear it down
Break it down
Destroy these walls of hate
The time is now
Your time is up
Your time is through
Battle lines are drawn
Which side will you choose?
Our differences should be celebrated
Not tearing us apart
But if its war you want
War is what youll get
Youll hang tight
Hang Tight

Contrite

There are no fairytales
Only hardships in truth
Endless walls to climb
Impossible mountains to move
I’m still learning to forgive
I wish that I could forget
I’m so sick of living
Under this weight of regret
Every time I try
It feels nothing but failing
Looking through it all
What’s the point of staying?
I wander aimlessly
In this dark and through the haze
To seek out a light
A truth in this maze
Fighting through all
The shame and the guilt
I hope to find peace
In the life that I have built
I promise you
I’ll try harder in the next life

Stand and Suffer

Ive got a funny feeling
But you won’t crack a smile
Ive been thinking about this
For quite a while
Have you run your course?
The beginning of the end?
Its not a matter of if
But a matter of when
Take a look around
We are all going down
Death becomes us all
And we all deserve to fall
Ill watch you run and hide
I won’t go until Im satisfied
Your life is not a life
When your life is a lie
Everyone is dead
They just don’t know it yet
Stand and Suffer

Fight Back

I spoke of injustice
And they just cut out my tongue
I raised my fist in protest
And they just cut off my hands
I stood in defiance before every lie
We’ve seen this countless times
Too many voiceless crimes
And I won’t stand for it
The axes fall swiftly cutting our spirits free
Reaching for tomorrow
Searching out the simple truth
Never treading, always on the move
Will you fight back?
Fight back

Hopeful to the hopelessness
Soulful to the soulessness
Now I stand before you all
I’ll take joy watching you fall
This world will pour salt in all my wounds
But I will not take the blame
You may think you have the upper hand
But I vow the tables will turn
The rage you produced will refuse retreat
The venomous touch you give bears no resolve
With this fire I scorch your earth and born anew
Bring back the blood
|

9. |

|
You will bleed me dry
Feed me lies
Make me feel like you're alive
Learn what pains me deep inside
Take my hope
And watch it die
Through this fire
Reborn am I
Welding under the weight of this empty sky
I will not be led for I lead with will
Sever your poison heart and let the blood spill
Bring back the blood I poured into you
Bring back the blood I spilled for you

So here we are
Left alone
Without you here
What are we gonna do?
Now things are not so clear
My heart floods with fear
Looking up at the stars
Pondering why things are the way they are
A gust of wind blows through my hair
It makes me feel like you’re still there.
It’s not fair.
There are many things I’d like to say
But you are aren’t here and so I’m forced to pray
To a universe that took you away
But it’s like they say nothing gold can stay
Anxiety sets in when I realize
there is no hope to change the times
Frustrated beyond belief
Our love goes nowhere. This is my grief
Sitting graveside
And I’m missing your face
Wishing I could
Take your place
Reliving it through closed eyes
What I see is fucked
A never ending pain I run from
It’ll always catch up
Taking a loss is never easy
But losing a brother is like a hole that can’t be filled

Crow Killer Salt Lake City, Utah
Fusing together a metallic hardcore sound that brings to mind the H8000 scene (Congress, Liar) and the heavy mosh of groups like Detain and Vamachara, Crow Killer have previously released an EP entitled Becoming an Object of Fear in 2016. The band spent the winter of 2019 working on their forthcoming debut album, Enslaved to One, which will arrive in stores this coming spring. ... more

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan.
