No Lifeboats 01:27
Hello my friend, let us begin As we both pretend not to condescend Meet face to face, ignore the bitter taste We'd both prefer to not be in the other's place Cool We both keep our cool But irony is cruel And I know luck is cruel We'll both be dead It is what it is, the words from your lips Cannot eclipse that we're on a sinking ship Cool Isn't the water cool? We're slowly sinking / Cruel You know we're drowning / Cruel We'll both cough cool Like the tempers of those who wait They see the by-products of what you waste Can't play your hand of the cards they deal Sinking together, now we'll Cannot pretend that this isn't the end Either heaven sent or hell bent Say your goodbyes, we're out of time Wash away the lies and my despise Cool We both keep our cool But irony is cruel And I know luck is cruel We'll both be dead and cool Like the tempers of those who wait They see the by-products of what you waste Can't play your hand of the cards they deal Sinking together, now we'll Swallow our pride and the water, too Down your throat to end you One lead to your doom, you choose

Oryx 01:57
Shepherds of death keep you on their right hand With blood on their fingers / They draw lines in the sand The burning hot sun beating down on your mane Brands you for life / Hated and pained It's a life your kind only knows A taste for blood is starting to show Shepherds of death keep you on their right hand With blood on their fingers / They draw lines in the sand Stench of the corpses that's filling your nose Will always hang with you wherever you go It's a scent your kind only knows A taste for blood is starting to show Cursed sands now made your home Boxed in / Your last place to go Sired / Reaped / Sowed Horns of a devil / Keep your head low Stag of the desert / Run predators through Brothers and sisters lay down in the earth They are your war drums / Beat them with your hoof Oryx / Your number's up Oryx / They're on the hunt Oryx, you're snuffed

Fate 01:14
Awake It's a new day, we're hoping for change The weight of the past will not hold us back now Now we will be brought up from our knees This is the chance that we've been waiting for Forward we push, on as we should Wind in our face is now coming on hard Hard we fall, our progress has stalled Shield your eyes as the wind pushes on With the stain of failure Playing the role / Paying for the sins Committed by past generations Held in one place, the horizon grows dim Hold onto your dreams / They're going nowhere Follow your heart / Before it gives out Think for yourself / While you still have decisions Choose your own path / To drop to the ground Sleep Let the night overtake you Close your eyes, your thoughts drift away The way of the world is changing Lay in the wake as the wind pushes on With the stain of failure Playing the role / Paying for the sins Committed by past generations Held in one place, the horizon grows dim Hold onto your dreams / They'll never leave you Follow your heart / Follow the trail Think for yourself / Of all that's gone wrong, man Choose your own path / And drop to the ground Don't say a prayer Don't shed a tear This is our fate

Uprooted 01:30
Held to the ground in this place Malnourished, immanent decay Last option that we have deduced We pick ourselves up by the roots Plant yourself down / Unfamiliar soil Hated by neighbors and cursed by the loyal How does it taste? Welcome to your new place Start at the back of the chase Have fun catching up for the race And never quite catch... Plant ourselves down by the fallen Crashing down hard onto roofs So much is lost but not stolen What scatters the ground is the proof Plant ourselves down / Unfamiliar soil Hated by neighbors and cursed by the loyal Trembling grip / Lose hold and slip And with the dirt wash away Wash away, out of this place With the decayed, out of this place

I'm glad you made it out west to the altar you need the most So genuflect to the water, sun, and the holy coast Back East I plead for relief, I drink alone & think about All the things that you don't need to hear and Aren't ever leaving my mouth This is the way that I see it We take the impressions we need No fuse will be left unlit We'll fulfill our own prophecies I know you're looking for some kind of answer But I got no words for your problems at hand And though I've been told that silence is gold This wasn't part of some plan Open with your pain and thoughts I endemically not I'm sorry that I left you searching I'd rather my sentiment was lost I know you're looking for some kind of answer But I got no words for your problems at hand And though I've been told that silence is gold It won't pay for your medicine Hear me from where You left me, my dear The smoke won't clear I know it's tragic, and unfair

about

DEMANDS D.C.

"It might be hard to distinguish between music that is angry and music that is determined, but DEMANDS quantifies the latter for me. Vocals are pushed to their absolute limit, and the music sounds like a burly modern re-interpretation of a '00s fastcore interpretation of DC hardcore...you know, bringing the sound back home but making it sound new all over again." - Terminal Escape ... more
