Discography:


Hopeless In Dead Winter Storm (demo)

2012, Unblack Metal Scene Records (CD-R)
August 31, 2012, Independent (Digital)
April 4, 2015, SkyBurnsBlack Records (Digital)

The Bandcamp page for the SkyBurnsBlack release says the release date was August 2, 2012, which makes me assume that might have been the release date for the Unblack Metal Scene release.  I don't know for sure though.

1. Hopeless In Dead Winter Storm 3:08
Frostwind, you are my enemy.
The cold chills you bring to my flesh bring me to my knees.
I will make it to the mountaintops.
I will climb the mountain to the throne room.
Frostwind, you are weak.

2. Sea Of Decay 3:13
I'll float in Your waters to the shores of life, but my body decays.
The sea brings me to the shores.
Heal my broken corpse.
Let me live once more.
I am yours.
Take this body and make it pure.

3. Life Lay Still 1:43
Black skies, wind moving the trees.
Snow cold, life not to be seen.
The waters rage.
My life lay still.

4. My Heart Weeps No More 2:51
5. Skyfall 4:06
Oh dark sky, why does your darkness empty my soul?
I have yet to breathe.
I have yet to see a light.
My Father, I call upon You.
Bring forth the light of my request Lord.
Bring the beauty to my soul.
You are the one I desire Lord.

Cryptic Rising (album, November 17, 2014, SkyBurnsBlack Records) (CD-R, Digital)

1. Lone 1:43
2. Wither 3:12
Death has become my destiny
But reality, it has been defeated
Jesus conquered
Jesus shared His victory
Death free us so we may
Experience the glorious
Heavenly presence of God
Death has removed us
From those we love
But not from the One
Who loves us most

3. Canvas 6:03
Where have I gone
This is not
The man I claim to be
Into the fire
Is where I should be
Throw me into
This world of pain
Watch it tear me apart
I live this life in hope of
What You will make of me

4. Weep 6:59
5. The Fear Unknown 3:00
Fear Him
Don't fear the people
The fear unknown
Is what's upon us
Give us the sound mind
To be prospective
Let us see as You do
Let us not use fear
To disobey You
There is a reason
To live in fear
When You are within us
Fear will enslave us
But Christ has come
To set us free

6. Grief 1:19
7. Fragile 4:05
I want to show you love
I want to give you peace
Don't be so broken inside
Because what is beyond
Will set you free
I'll show you a reason to live

8. Part Of Something Bigger 5:30

Lord lead me back to You

Lead me down the path I once walked
Because I'm falling away from You

2. The Path 3:44
I walk forward looking for answers
The world seems to get in the way but I press on
Still searching for You
I seek the word, I seek the truth
Help me see the love You share

3. With New Focus 3:29
I feel Your healing hand upon me
I see change in my life
The path is not so hard to walk
With new focus and with prayer
I feel closer to You
