Discography:


U.S. White Metal Assault (compilation, July, 2005, Independent)
Format: CD-R

The album was organized/compiled by Doug Farrar.

A lot of sites call this song "Negative". Is it written that way on the CD? At any rate, the song is actually called "Negative Embrace".

6) Simeon - Negative Embrace
5:25, lyrics:
Longing for a time
When life was without pain
And love was a thing
I could remember

Memories of times
When my heart was content
Filled with the passions of life
My heart does not beat
Within the grasp of the negative embrace

Cold passages
Within the walls of my heart.
Freezing my veins with sorrow.
Alone in the darkness
Searching for a purpose
Praying for freedom
From the cold winter chill
Wishing for a way out...

Seeking for love
Within fierce blowing wind.
Searching for a soul
Amidst a storm of confusion...



Cold passages
Within the walls of my heart.
Freezing my veins with sorrow.
Alone in the darkness
Searching for a purpose
Praying for freedom
From the cold winter chill
Wishing for a way out...

 
The negative embrace....
How long will I dwell here?

(There are more lyrics but they're not on the site and I can't understand them.)


OTHER SONGS
Shadows
Music and lyrics were written for this.
Shadows
They wait to see us fall,
They cant believe we're real.
We label them skeptics,
But know just how they feel.

They've seen the false, they've felt our pulse.
and found so many dead.
They see dead works where evil lurks.
and the hungry who aren't fed.

God, a savior, eternal life
yet there's no fruit, no evidence.
Our feet go down to hell.
Our hands are busy, they're full of work,
To see what we'll attain.
Our wallets are full our heart is empty
And is it worth the strain?

We walk we move (talk)
We sing (scream) & shout
But praise and righteous is not the noise
Our dried up throats gasp hateful words
Oh see what it destroys.

Its time we act as if we're saved,
and set apart and clean.
Its His perfect will for us to be
Like shadows of Christ our king.

Oh those of you who claim his grace.
Show the world the way.
A holy life a change of mind
In all you do and say.
God doesn't need well dressed bodies,
with heads so full of brains.
But hearts that love,
and minds that care.
To show the world He reigns.


As the Owl
Music was written, but the lyrics aren't mentioned.

Apparitions in the Moonlight
Lyrics were written, but music hadn't been, the last time they updated their website.
I saw her pale skin
Bathing in the light of the moon
The same it has always been
For ‘thousand years
In her eyes lay a winter landscape
In her heart lay a tomb

She was seeking a warm place
Wondering through the long halls
Devoid of the world around her
Forgotten names she whispered
Her voice echoed through the corridors
As if a thousand voices were speaking
Never hearing an answer
Never seeing the light of day

Sometimes I feel like her
Wondering through the halls of life
Calling names that never reply
It feels like I am dead inside
Where is the light, where do I lie
Do I live or do I die???

I sat alone in the solemn halls
I heard the winds roar
And the thunders clap
I felt the sadness creep in
Like a lonely fog
From a haunted hallow

She was standing there accompanied by the pail moon
Her hands outstretched
And a single tear run down her cheek
Our eyes had never met, even though
I had seen her many times

There must have been a thousand angle's singing
As our hand’s gently touched
Her eye's once vacant, now beheld all the stars of the heavens
And a smile gently appeared

Suddenly she was gone
As if she suddenly woke from a deep slumber
Finally she must have realized
She was the one that was alive...


The Phoenix
Lyrics were written, but music hadn't been, the last time they updated their website.
In agony,
He reaches for me
Through the sin,
He embraces me
As I rise
from the flames
Like a phoenix
From the ashes of yesterday
In Him rest eternity

This is what I offer you
This is what I offer you
This is what I offer you

My eyes have seen thine Salvation
The glory burning within my eyes
As the Old Man Simeon saw
Renewed he became
Grace gleaming from the babe

In Jesus Christ we are
Saved
Saved
Saved

This is what I offer you
This is what I offer you
This is what I offer you

My eyes have seen thine Salvation
My eyes have seen thine Salvation
The Phoenix from the ashes rise
Rise from the flame
The Phoenix from the ashes rise
Rise from the flesh

The Phoenix from the pain
Rise
Rise

This is what He offers you
This is what He offers you
This is what He offers you

In Jesus Christ we are saved
Saved
Saved
