hello friend, step inside my tent, i've got an offer that you can't refuse! i know you're not the kind of man to turn down gamblin' and i've got a pretty chance for you there lies a secret treasure lost at sea, and no one's ever found the map. just take a seat and have a drink on me, and i'll show you which veins to tap, yeah! i could give you anything you could ever need so come on, make a deal with me i got prices you won't regret! have you ever felt your soul? have you ever pulled it forward? have you ever ripped it from your chest, and thrown it away?! call your soul and cast it below. you walk alone, and enter this city bathed in death. ha ha, see? i told you. no regrets! no turning back! once you're there, just keep going. you'll know it when ya see it. but steer clear of the pile of bodies, unless ya wanna BE it! the next time you come to me, you know what you're gonna get! call your soul and cast it below! you walk alone, and enter the crumbling city gates. drown, drown, drown... call your soul, and cast it below. you walk alone, and enter this city bathed in death. oh, your soul, you cast it below. you walk alone, and enter inside these walls again. drown, drown, drown...

open: one man, standing, staring. truth and lies mean nothing in the face of temptation that's too great. now he stares at the sun, dead-eyed, walking on in mind alone. sun is climbing higher as he walks beneath the surface hunting for an answer he might never find. death is drawing nearer every second he goes deeper. leaving out his body just might cost his mind. now is the hour, awaken the hunter. rise, rise, hunter. paths of money, paths of gold, all lead to death, this i know paths in ocean, paths in flame, lead to death, it's all the same. and if he's gonna walk that path he might as well be dead. rise, hunter: a mass of shadows begins to creep. temptation: all obscured but the fangs. you know their faces, not their names, but the scent of cowards is always the same now consume the body totally, as his soul lies waiting 'neath the sea. I AM THE HUNTER. I WILL CONSUME ALL FLESH. NOW I'VE AWAKENED. NOTHING WILL HOLD ME BACK. rise, rise! now is the hour! hunter! awaken the hunter!

of course you haven't noticed your own blind spot what i can see, you cannot hear you're shifting in phases the noise cancellation cycles back and forth searching for our fears so stab me in the eyes, give me a new blind spot pull the trigger, start the ringing in my ears 'til i am senseless, too blind to witness this new plague, this blind man's game, ain't mine to play you're still not convinced that this is all hopeless? of course you haven't noticed that they're playing to your fear. listen to your own voice! listen to what you refuse to admit! when faced with one choice, there is only one thing to do so stab me in the eyes, give me a new blind spot pull the trigger, start the ringing in my ears 'til i am senseless, too blind to witness this new plague, i don't wanna play, no! i can't save them all my strength is long since gone i can't save you all i bound the ancient ones my strength is long since gone so this new plague, this blind man's game, no, it ain't mine to play.

about

Written and recorded entirely during the month of February 2020 as part of the RPM Challenge. I made an effort to showcase my instrumental development, but I also pulled a lot of inspiration from other artists. I'm proud of how this album blends the two.
