Discography:

Through Eternal Dissension (single, 1 March, 2019, The Bearded Dragon Productions)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

From Bandcamp:
"In a nutshell, it's about disagreement within modern day Christianity leading to egotism set on one's own personal opinions on what they think makes them 'holier than thou'. Disagreement leads to discord and division/breaking of communion, which is the 'beautiful blasphemy'."

1) Through Eternal Dissension

6:47, lyrics:
Further in dissension,
We harden our souls

What beautiful blasphemy
To despise another
For it's "Him alone"
"Just God, no other"

No need waiting for the Antichrist
He is buried in their hearts
"Do what thou willt" in sheep's clothing
Is what tears them apart

Draak Herd (Vol. 1) (compilation, 13 September, 2019, The Bearded Dragon Productions)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

"Everlasting" is written on Bandcamp instead of "Eternal", for some reason.

6) Defying Darkness - Through Everlasting Dissension 6:47, see above for lyrics
