1.	I Am The Living Dead 04:21	lyrics	buy track
I have waited in silence, gathering my strength in contemplation I have emerged from darkness, dug myself from this moldy grave where I dwelled in agony for centuries, now the light burns my blackened eyes the dirt under my nails, a symbol of struggle and desperation will flowers grow where I once laid an empty grave, a risen soul I am the living dead arisen from my tomb to haunt my past I am the living dead gasping for breath, grasping for reality As I stumble out of the cemetery of forgotten dreams, the stench of hatred blows through the air a lingering emotion cleansed by new life, a walking death a waking nightmare gravestones are toppled and crumbling, a landmark to others who've transcended raising the dead in a wasteland of memories and lost promises I am the living dead arisen from my tomb to haunt my past I am the living dead gasping for breath, grasping for reality
2.	From Sin To Salvation 05:06	lyrics	buy track
Liar...Blasphemer...Harlot I am a sinner, I am the arm of God Living in flesh, forgiven by blood Living in flesh, from sin to salvation Greed and gluttony, sloth and lethargy I am a sinner, I am the body of Christ Living in flesh, forgiven by blood Living in flesh, from sin to salvation Lust and debauchery, witchcraft and wizardry I am a sinner, I am the arm of God Living in flesh, forgiven by blood Living in flesh, from sin to salvation Idol worshipper, people pleaser I am a sinner Living in flesh, forgiven by blood Living in flesh, from sin to salvation
3.	Zombies In Heat 03:13	lyrics	buy track
The war inside the mind is a war for the soul Defeat the enemy, yourself Take back control of your thoughts, take back control of your life The battle for the spirit is a battle or the mind Reclaim the body and soul Take back control of your thoughts, take back control of your life Demons drag us around like zombies in heat Mindless...indulgent...human Demons drag us around like zombies in heat This is war, this is my battlefield, this is my life This is resistance, this is defeat Take back control of your thoughts, take back control of your life Small moments of victory keep the fight every grinding Lapses of treachery keep the inner soldier groaning Take back control of your thoughts, take back control of your life Demons drag us around like zombies in heat Mindless...indulgent...human Demons drag us around like zombies in heat Mindless...indulgent...human
4.	A Valley Of Dry Bones 05:31	lyrics	buy track
The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. Then he asked me. Son of man, can these bones become living people again? O' Sovereign Lord, I replied. You alone know the answer to this. Ezekiel 37:1-3
5.	Transcendent Dreaming 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Bathing in moonlight, flames flicker in firelight Smoke encircles the forest, shadows dance in silence Chanting in darkness, call upon four corners Beckon the ancestors, as smoke encircles the forest Night sounds and transcendent dreaming Inhale the spirit of old, let the flames burn my eyes Exhale the Autumn cold, and channel the spirit within Cold winds and transcendent dreaming Ancient rights by firelight, full moon ceremony in darkness Touch other realms with your mind, seeing visions of the blind Old woman speaks to me in riddles, traveling to new dimensions Leave me in darkness with only the moon to guide my way
6.	Seduction Cloaked In Scales 04:47	lyrics	buy track
Uncontrollable, unpredictable, slithering bringer of death What transformations will you find in its venom Will it bring death, will it bring new life Coiling and suffocating, the victim falls prey Striking and piercing the unsuspecting target What transformations will you find in it's venom Will it bring death, will it bring new life Seduction cloaked in scales, you fear your own desires A dance of mystery, a lust for adrenaline and beauty Embrace the serpent, accept its venom and transform Embrace the serpent and the shedding of skin Seduction cloaked in scales, you fear your own desires A dance of mystery, a lust for adrenaline and beauty The serpent speaks in tongues, do you speak it's language Translate the cryptic message and unlock the power of the snake Seduction cloaked in scales, you fear your own desires A dance of mystery, a lust for adrenaline and beauty Embrace the serpent, accept its venom and transform Embrace the serpent and the shedding of skin
7.	Gender And Sexuality On A Spectrum Of Confusion And Uncertainty 04:04	lyrics	buy track
These social identifiers pinned to my chest, a sense of permanence Removal with a knife to sew the wound shut, a sense of permanence A longing to be touched is a longing to be loved This childhood need not met Gender and sexuality on a spectrum of confusion and uncertainty What is this void between my legs, an absence of love A tool to display dominance Denied at birth, denied in death A longing to be touched is a longing to be loved This childhood need not met Could I become a monster, a miracle of science Could I become a healer and learn to love myself But what of sex and love Will I become the man that I desire But what of sex and love Will I take the woman I never was
8.	Out Of The Closet Into The Light 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Once we acknowledge we are all desperate to fit in We can recognize what really matters True love comes from within, true belonging comes from above Out of the closet, into the light We are all controlled by our individual sin Souls confined in a tomb of selfish flesh and blood True love comes from within, true belonging comes from above Out of the closet, into the light Posers we all are, denying our true form Seeking love, the only reason for living Accepting the spirit within, the only path to forgiveness Realize the lies we tell ourselves Become your true destiny Out of the closet, into the light

about

This collection of demo songs was written after a mental breakdown that inevitably opened my eyes to my own religious trauma. What transpired was an unfolding of self acceptance and a refusal to believe the lies told to us that we are not worthy of spiritual love and fulfillment.

Once my light became so dim that I forgot it was there...yet it was everlasting...and this tiny light has been the torch that led me out of the darkest of places.
