No Light, No Compassion (single, 21 October, 2018, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

Stream on YouTube (ARTIST-APPROVED)

From the artist:
This is a song about spiritual complacency within the Church. My uncle's body was found hanging in-between two trees around 100ft from church grounds. It baffles me how things like this happen on a regular basis and the Church as a Body does very little to help, many have lost their passion and their First Love. Compromising at every turn, making excuses every day for their own sin while ignoring the problems around them that they might could help solve. A soul that could be reached. The physical destruction caused by complacency is catastrophic, but the spiritual destruction caused by complacency-- is eternal.

My uncle's guitar was bought from a pawn shop and given to me as a gift, I used his guitar for both lead and rhythm guitars in this song. My goal is to wake people up in the churches, and revive spiritual awareness.

1) No Light, No Compassion
3:53, lyrics:
For the time has come,
that judgement must begin
At the house, of God!

..Hypocrite

You blasphemer of all that is Holy
Can hope even come to you?
"Complacent swine, depart from Me!
Into everlasting torment!"

Where were you, when he hanged in the trees
of the forest

The Great Commission, it dies here
or so we thought
We are The Great Commission
Slaying Satan where he stands

The moon shines through the trees
burning demon scum
As we pray at night
for us to finally realize
You're truth and your way

Hope for the future; a better life
Resembling a reflection of Your Glory
and Your Kingdom

..

How long will we stand idly by
while people around us suffer?

Sheep led to the slaughter, souls led astray
To Hell

And for what?
Our own selfish ways

(No light, no compassion...)

Slaughter the Innocent (single)

14 December, 2018, Independent, Bandcamp
14 December, 2018, The Bearded Dragon Productions, Bandcamp

Stream on YouTube (ARTIST-APPROVED)

"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." - Psalm 139:16

1) Slaughter the Innocent
5:25, lyrics:
Place the child
upon
the satanic
altar of...
Planned Parenthood!

Blasphemer!

Oh you, most unholy
Slaughtering the innocent before our eyes

Fracture the bones
slice the skin
dispensed; like an old photograph
Running to You
is our only hope

Molech worship
has been reestablished

That which is most precious
in the sight of our Lord
is about to perish
As Lucifer says: "Bring this child to me!"

"You incompetent mortal!"
Unborn; undone

Oh, the demons of old have been awakened

I will crush Lucifer,
with my own bare hands
as he lays upon the foundation of Hell
Bleeding, in the flame
With my Master by my side

You corrupt pastors and priests!
you ask God, to bless
a slaughterhouse

You ask for His favor to be upon
this Earth-wide
Abomination

If you do not repent
in Hell you shall burn
for the many innocents
who have been slaughtered
indirectly, by your hand

Sweet Mother (single)

15 March, 2019, The Bearded Dragon Productions, Bandcamp
15 March, 2019, Independent, Bandcamp

From the artist:
"My mother has always lived a sickly life, so much so that it bled over into her emotions and fought her mentally day in and day out. Despite this she has always stood up for me, my dad, and God. This song is about the suffering she has endured, to give you a glimpse at what me and my dad have witnessed over the past few months, and years. Then after the unexpected passing of her brother and my beloved uncle back in August 2018, this made things much worse for her, for all of us. Of course her pain could never be described with words, so I wrote this song to hopefully give her strength and encouragement in Christ Jesus. She is not a metalhead, but she enjoys anything I set my mind to create or do, she truly is the best mom in the world-- my Sweet Mother."

1) Sweet Mother
5:24, lyrics:
"The pain...

I can't take this anymore
someone please save me
I just need a way out!"

Oh, sweet mother, just hang on tight
to my hand

The Lord is with you,
and He always will be

Always sick, always tormented
The pain is becoming unbearable
for her

Just hang on sweet mother,
it won't always be this way
God is taking care of it all;
every last detail

Even death can make you stronger!

If you suffered not in this life,
then what would come of the next?
Our suffering does not have to define us
but through Him we overcome it all

Every last stumbling block
in our way will be destroyed
and every mountain overcome,
by His Grace

Oh, sweet mother
don't look at this life,
the only one worth fighting for

All life is precious
our life is eternity
Because of the One
Who saved us

Hang on just a little while longer
in this life to receive the next

Oh Divine eternal One
hallowed be Your Name
Your Kingdom come
Your Will be done

Forever Thou shall be
The King of Forever!

As the blood of Your foes
splatters against the back of Your heels
Sinking Your Holy blade into
the brain of the Antichrist

Eviscerating weak, mindless
demonic scum

Revenge is for the Almighty's hand alone

His revenge is much worse
than ours could ever be

Those who have been tormented
suffer no longer!

Black Hymn of the Void (single, 8 May, 2020, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

 1) Black Hymn of the Void
5:04, lyrics:
Beautiful void
Of darkness and dust
Collisions of stars
Bringing music to the beyond

A plethora of nebulae
Scattered like sand
Drizzling flame of the sun
Lighting the way of day

Coldness, blackness, endless void
The deep, crushing pressure of space
By design you maintain yourself
Ever decaying, ever dreaming
And longing for redemption

Creation of space, of endless time
Of ending lives
Creation of the dark cycle
Rotation of the planets
They grow weak

They are falling from the natural order
We have fallen far, far below the stars
Longing for redemption
Hating the end of creation itself
Where is my life, my mind

Maker bring Your redeeming power



Transcendence (single, 29 May, 2020, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

Drum track is adapted from "Funeral Doom" by Metal Drum Beats by Sparkles, a provider of free-to-use drum tracks.

1) Transcendence
6:08, lyrics:
Transcending time and space
Divinity is infinity
Transcending dark matter
Awaken the calling

Black as it may be
Transcend matter until Oblivion hits
Breaking the cycle of the stars
Transforming into dust

The universe is His playground
Who can defy His Mighty Name?
In the glory of His creative works
His existence has been proven

Dark as the calling may find me
I will rejoice as I awaken
Transcending time and space
Transcending through this
Dimensional flesh

Nothingness, it's empty
Yet so full, even to the brim
Sparkling infinity
Transcending all things, transcend the human race

Divine Maker of Heavens and the Earth

God of order,
balancing of eternity,
Deity of equilibrium

Holy Trinity
such Divinity
rising from
everything

5) Crowned with Twelve Stars
10:47, lyrics:
The dragon, ancient serpent
hurled down through space from Heaven
crushed and pummeled into the Earth and sea
sought to kill the Holy Supreme Messiah

Mother of Twelve Stars hidden away
for a time, times, and a half time
she gave birth to her Son, Jesus Christ
crowned with Twelve Stars by God on High

His servants look down at the enemy
"Is this the accuser of the brethren,
no longer to defile our sanctuary?"

We are descendants of Jacob,
she is crowned with twelve stars
and rests her feet on the moon
and is clothed in sunlight,
and by God is called "Blessed"
redeemed at conception
the spiritual mother of..

all those who keep the commands of God,
and of all those who hold fast to their testimony
of Jesus Christ

Holy Trinity we worship You only
Jesus Christ, Salvation comes through You alone
birthed You are, Satan could not stop You
on the throne You are, and sit at the right hand of the Father

may the twelve stars shine in the night
her resting place for a job well done
amidst the cold blackness of space

among the Holy Saints, and within our blessed sanctuary
in Heaven above, far beyond any purge or plight
in submission to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord's, the Most High

we shall receive a crown of victory, to cast at His feet!
we shall judge the angels!
we shall be made holy like Him, resurrection of the dead
in order to worship Him in spirit and truth....
forever!

we shall receive a crown of victory, to cast at His feet!
we shall judge the angels!
we shall be made holy like Him, resurrection of the dead
in order to worship Him in spirit and truth....
forever!
forever!

[[Revelation 12 / 1 Corinthians 6:3 / 2 Timothy 4:8 / Revelation 4]]
