First Offering (demo)

June 23, 2007, Independent (Digital)
2007, Independent (CD-R)

There are actually three different cover art designs for this release.  The top artwork displays the PARENTAL ADVISORY label on it, even though there are no explicit lyrics.  Can anyone explain this?

1. Shadows 1:21
That night you entered my home,
Took my baby girl,
She was so beautiful,
We said good-night for the last time.

You took her somewhere cold and dark,
I doubt she cried...

She was strong that way.
She probably held your hand,
She was sweet that way,
She would have painted you a picture,
She was kind that way.

You stole her first kiss,
Her first intimate moment,
Along with her last breath.

I cannot find remorse.
I should forgive;
But I cannot.
I should not hunt you;
But I will.
I should not bleed you slowly;
But I will.

2. Flatline 2:43
Even though he took his own life,
I know why he blamed himself,
His spirit was already severed;
Murder!

Our children played together for hours,
As we complained about the world closing in;
Suffocating

In the end,
Day sent black balloons to heaven.
I wonder if they ever made it.
Fading.

Sometimes it feels like prayers turn to ice,
Then fall back to earth and shatter.
House of a Thousand Corpses;
Scapegoat

After he died,
Everyone had stories.
Stories of how much they loved him,
How they were his best friends.
Where were they when he was in need;
...Abandoned.

We are all guilty.
Corey said it best,
"I haven't slept since I woke up and found my own life was a lie."
Everything ends.

3. Wickedness 1:34
Self-hatred.
Broken.
Falling short.
Dying inside.

You need not search my heart...
You know my thoughts.
Set me free,
Cleanse me from this blasphemy.

4. Spit 0:33
I spit on you,
You kept walking...

I spit on you, I was not your friend.
I spit on you, I was not your friend.

I crushed the wind from your brittle chest;
You kept walking,
You just kept walking.

I spit on you, I was not your friend.
I spit on you, I was not your friend.

I scoffed while we bled your bones.
Forgive...

What's This (single, October 31, 2020, Independent) (Digital)

A cover of the song "What's This" from The Nightmare Before Christmas, originally written by Danny Elfman.

1. What's This 2:00
What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this? What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs
What's this?
The streets are lined with little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What's this? What's this?

There's children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside

Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that loos so unique, inspired
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?

What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think?
And why?
Covering with tiny things
Electric lights on strings

Correct me if I'm wrong
Could it be I got my wish?
What's this?

Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them or ensnare them
Only little cozy things, secure inside their dreamland
What's this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems
To be good feeling all around
Instead of screams
I hear music in the air
Smell of cakes and pies
Absolutely everywhere

Sights, the sounds
They're everywhere around
Never felt this good before
Empty place inside has been filling up
Simply cannot get enough
I want it oh, I want it oh
I want it for my own
What is this place I have found?
What's this?

4. Riverbottom Nightmare Band 1:34
We want what we want, we do anything that we wish
We got no respect for animal, birdy or fish
The grass does not grow on the places where we stop and stand
Riverbottom Nightmare Band

We know we're a mess but I does not like to be clean
We don't bush our teeth 'cause our toothache can help us stay mean
We don't wish to learn but we hate what we don't understand
Riverbottom Nightmare Band

When you see us comin' you better startin' runnin'
We're always startin' trouble and we're happiest when things are outta hand
Rivers are for boilin', parties are for spoilin'
We either like to sit and pout or terrorize our land
Riverbottom Nightmare Band

We laugh in your face or we practice our growl and our sneer
We break up your place, we are dangerous when we are near
And when we are done with our song, who will get the biggest hand?
Riverbottom Nightmare Band!
Who?
Riverbottom Nightmare Band!

Riverbottom Nightmare Band!

Drowning, it's dark
Clawing the ark
People screaming
Clawing the ark

So much weeping
A world dying

Drowning, it's dark
Clawing the ark
People screaming
Clawing the ark

The fountains of the great deep burst apart
Floodgates of heaven broke open
All earth-based life destroyed
Except for Noah and those in the ark

Noahic covenant
Sacred guarantee

Drowning, it's dark
Clawing the ark
People screaming
Clawing the ark

2. FishVomit 2:20
Angry prophet, God's decree
Violation, flee to the sea

Uncharted journey inside a fish
Vomited on the beach

Sailing to Tarshish
Instead of to Nineveh
Jonah's disobedience
Causes aquatic disturbances

Uncharted journey inside a fish
Vomited on the beach

Plummeting overboard
Into the deep
Enormous fish devours
Vomit and forgiveness
Godly mercy

Uncharted journey inside a fish
Vomited on the beach
Fish vomit

3. Lost And Found 1:47
Christ shares a tale with His disciples
Parable of two brothers explored
One who is young and other one old

Foolish son is insolent
Requesting inheritance
Tantamount to wishing dead
Father grants his son's request
Nameless Swineherd raising pigs
Squandering of everything

Extravagant spending, wasteful living
Famine strikes distant land
Envious of food that pigs were eating

Upon his return father rejoices
Celebration, slaughter the fatted calf
Older brother angered, not impressed

It was right that we should make merry
And be glad, for your brother was dead
And is alive again, and was lost and is found

He will not leave
He won't forsake

He who dwells within the secret place
Shall abide under the shadow of God

Don't be dismayed
He is your God
He gives you strength
He is with you
Go on without fear
The Lord shall renew your strength

He who dwells within the secret place
Shall abide under the shadow of God

He was pierced for
Our transgressions
He was crushed for
Iniquities

He who dwells within the secret place
Shall abide under the shadow of God
He who dwells within the secret place
Shall abide under the shadow of God

I saw three ships come sailing in

Lumberyard (single)

September 15, 2023, Rottweiler Records (Digital)
September 15, 2023, Broken Curfew Records (Digital)

1. Lumberyard 2:40
With judgmental eyes we scrutinize
Our views are blinded by our pride
Ignoring flaws as we point our claws
Our words are sharp our tongues like knives
We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye
There's a lumberyard reaching the sky
Don't play the judge don't live a lie
Take the plank out of your eye

The weight of a sin a heavy plank
In our own eyes we're blind and fake
It's easy to judge and criticize
Take a look at ourselves we're flawed inside

Take the plank out of your eye
There's a lumberyard reaching the sky
Don't play the judge don't live a lie
Take the plank out of your eye

Screams of the damned scent of decay
Forced to confront sins of dismay

With judgmental eyes we scrutinize
Our views are blinded by our pride
Ignoring flaws as we point our claws
Our words are sharp our tongues like knives
We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye
There's a lumberyard reaching the sky
Don't play the judge don't live a lie
Take the plank out of your eye




A Path To Sorrow (single)

October 13, 2023, Rottweiler Records (Digital)
October 13, 2023, Broken Curfew Records (Digital)

1. A Path To Sorrow 3:52
You get one life or so they told me
So make it count and live it plenty
My soul was black
Dead and heavy
What have I done to me

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Grief grips me like fear
I'm not ashamed of tears
Falling on deaf ears
Love abandoned me
Heaven knows my shame
Will I sleep again
Even though I try
Pain becomes my friend
This path is the end

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

They will lie to you
They will defile you
They don't love you
They will blind you
Don't compromise your soul

I reconnected with my savior
Sucked out the poison repaired the suture
Got back on track a true survivor
Look what He did for me

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

1. Lumberyard 2:40
With judgmental eyes we scrutinize
Our views are blinded by our pride
Ignoring flaws as we point our claws
Our words are sharp our tongues like knives
We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye
There's a lumberyard reaching the sky
Don't play the judge don't live a lie
Take the plank out of your eye

The weight of a sin a heavy plank
In our own eyes we're blind and fake
It's easy to judge and criticize
Take a look at ourselves we're flawed inside

Take the plank out of your eye
There's a lumberyard reaching the sky
Don't play the judge don't live a lie
Take the plank out of your eye

Screams of the damned scent of decay
Forced to confront sins of dismay

With judgmental eyes we scrutinize
Our views are blinded by our pride
Ignoring flaws as we point our claws
Our words are sharp our tongues like knives
We savage those who try to thrive

Take the plank out of your eye
There's a lumberyard reaching the sky
Don't play the judge don't live a lie
Take the plank out of your eye

2. A Path To Sorrow 3:52
You get one life or so they told me
So make it count and live it plenty
My soul was black
Dead and heavy
What have I done to me

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Grief grips me like fear
I'm not ashamed of tears
Falling on deaf ears
Love abandoned me
Heaven knows my shame
Will I sleep again
Even though I try
Pain becomes my friend
This path is the end

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

They will lie to you
They will defile you
They don't love you
They will blind you
Don't compromise your soul

I reconnected with my savior
Sucked out the poison repaired the suture
Got back on track a true survivor
Look what He did for me

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

Past present and the future
Colliding to betray your values
Beware temptation from the liar
He's laughing and warping your desires
Tears you shed continue falling
Leading your soul towards the fire
Make your choice it's your tomorrow
Taking that road is a path of sorrow

3. They Already Know 3:05
The message of the cross
We've all heard loud and clear
But actions speak louder than our words
We sit and spout our doctrine
Without showing our love and grace
But how will they know the truth
If we don't show them our Godly faith

They already know the story but they need to see the light
Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right
The Great Commission has to thrive

Through fire and flames we shall rise
Our souls ablaze we will revive our lives

We sit and spout our doctrine
Without showing our love and grace
But how will they know the truth
If we don't show them our Godly faith
They already know the story but they need to see the light
Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right
The Great Commission has to thrive

The message of the cross
We've all heard loud and clear
But actions speak louder than our words

We sit and spout our doctrine
Without showing our love and grace
But how will they know the truth
If we don't show them our Godly faith
They already know the story but they need to see the light
Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right

We sit and spout our doctrine
Without showing our love and grace
But how will they know the truth
If we don't show them our Godly faith

They already know the story but they need to see the light
Time to move beyond our words and begin showing what is right
The Great Commission has to thrive

4. Salvation Syndrome 2:21
Sheep in the flock seem so content
Live without fear never repent
Apathy complacency
No thought about those in need
Congregation servants of God
Have forgotten grace from above

Salvation Syndrome
No consequences
Salvation Syndrome
Loss of connection

Take for granted salvation
No thought of what they've become
Condemnation disguised as love
Judging others not from above

Salvation Syndrome
No consequences
Salvation Syndrome
Loss of connection

Life without fear
Short-sighted action
Time to adhere
Sanctification
Pick up your cross
Follow the savior
He died for you
Justification

No room for complacency
Salvation was not for free
God instructed
Work out your own
Salvation through
Fear and trembling

Salvation Syndrome
No consequences
Salvation Syndrome
Loss of connection

Life without fear
Short-sighted action
Time to adhere
Sanctification
Pick up your cross
Follow the savior
He died for you
Justification

Salvation Syndrome
No consequences
Salvation Syndrome
Loss of connection

5. Severed 3:47
Severed from salvation cast in the abyss
Lost soul in a world of pain and distress
The thief on the cross condemned to die
His fate seemed sealed no hope in sight

Will you remain severed
From the grace of God

Peter drew out his sword
Sliced a servant's ear
Christ reached out and healed
Power to mend the wounded
You might be severed from God
But your soul can still be saved

Will you remain severed
From the grace of God

With a hammer and chisel
God repairs the shattered soul
Like the thief on the cross cry out
For mercy

Will you remain severed
From the grace of God
Will you seek healing
For your severed soul

Severed from salvation cast in the abyss
Lost soul in a world of pain and distress
The thief on the cross condemned to die
His fate seemed sealed no hope in sight

Will you remain severed
From the grace of God

Peter drew out his sword
Sliced a servant's ear
Christ reached out and healed
Power to mend the wounded
You might be severed from God
But your soul can still be saved

Will you remain severed
From the grace of God
Will you seek healing
For your severed soul

6. Faith Delusion 2:41
Dismissing all the faithful
Atheists they say we're crazy
Claiming the belief in God
Is a form of mental confusion

Faith delusion
Brain contusion
Misguided conclusion
Completely insane illusion

Rejecting the evidence
Of a higher existence
You think that you are all wise
But you're blind

Faith delusion
Brain contusion
Misguided conclusion
Completely insane illusion

The world is much more than we see
We are more than biology
There's a greater purpose to life
And our faith is how we survive it

Faith delusion
Brain contusion
Misguided conclusion
Completely insane illusion
Faith delusion
Brain contusion
Misguided conclusion
Completely insane illusion

We are spiritual beings
Spiritual beings
Spiritual beings
Spiritual beings
Spiritual beings
Spiritual beings
Spiritual beings
Our faith sets us free

Dismissing all the faithful

7. Spit Parade 3:09
Spit Parade mocking Christ
Thorns on head crucify
Screaming crowds laugh and jeer
Carries cross end is near

I spit on you I was not your friend
Your suffering a means to an end
I spit on you I was not your friend
You kept walking
You kept walking
You kept walking
I spit on you I was not your friend
Your suffering a means to an end
I spit on you I was not your friend

He was mocked and
He was broken
He paid the price
With his own life

Spit Parade mocking Christ
Thorns on head crucify
You kept walking
You kept walking

He was mocked and
He was broken and
He paid the price
With his own life

I spit on you I was not your friend
Your suffering a means to an end
I spit on you I was not your friend
I spit on you I was not your friend
Your suffering a means to an end
I spit on you I was not your friend

He was mocked and
He was broken
He paid the price
With his own life

Spit Parade mocking Christ
Thorns on head crucify
Screaming crowds laugh and jeer
Carries cross end is near

I spit on you I was not your friend
Your suffering a means to an end

You kept walking
You kept walking
You kept walking
I spit on you I was not your friend
Your suffering a means to an end
I spit on you I was not your friend

He was mocked and
He was broken
He paid the price
With his own life
He was mocked and
He was broken
He paid the price
With his own life

9. Receive Him 1:49
Receive Him

Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed by thy name
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever
Amen
