Brandon Castaneda Besides having my favorite metal vocalist in the game, really digging the drumming and use of dynamics in these tracks carried by visceral grooves and neck-crushing tones in these riffs that'll keep you headbanging. These songs would sound so sick played live. Favorite track: Flawless.

I Am Death 01:00
2.
Flawless 03:30
There's a method to my madness Let's open the flood gates to hell I'll let the devil in Here's a story he will tell Your fear and desire are manifesting useless hate Fuck your useless God! Ask them to carry us all Fuck your useless God! What have they done Except to show us that we are flawed Fire rains from the sky above Blistering and burning sense of lust Riding through the wave of flames Falling to your death Riding the spiral And falling down This will be the end Riding the spiral again This will be the end So, fuck Fuck your useless God! Ask them to carry us all Fuck your useless God! What have they done? Except to show us that we are flawed We are flawed A submissive thought Zero emotions and zero flaws We are flawless
3.
The End Game 02:45
Freeze Hold it right there Don’t make another move Death blow will Get through to you I’m staring at the wall Ripped to pieces Torn apart in two Cake or death Manifest Repent and regress Will you play another game When the pieces move around you Will you take another chance To destroy everything in truth The end game This is the end game Get up and jump Just fucking jump C’mon and take a chance No ones cares what’s in your hand Stabbing in the dark to find a path Stabbing in the dark to find me How we got to the point of gods wrath Cake or death Manifest Repent and regress Will you play another game The pieces moving all around you Will you take another turn And destroy everything youve worked for Will you play another game Will you even remember my name When your life is on the line Nothing matters anymore Bridge the gap and erase the meaning Fall Burn Suffer and Die
4.
My Desire 04:12
Do you want to live or die Death’s only a construct, made up in time Forever is just fine, and we will take it with us Barely able to thrive It’s time to decide-on your crime I will feel it The end of your bleeding heartbeat The last pulse, the final moment Before you slip and die Collapse inside We will not believe In another method of extracting my desires We will not conceive That death’s the answer to the end at all Our deaths the answer to it all I’m taking another piece You welcome castration on another mind I'm starving the fruit from the tree of our life Escape the mental anguish and sudden defeat Gripping the answer and facing another night of sleep I will feel it The end of your bleeding heartbeat The last pulse, the final moment Before you slip and die Collapse inside We will not believe In another method of extracting my desires We will not conceive that death’s the answer To the end at all We will not believe In another method of distracting my intentions We will not conceive That death’s the only answer for us all Death is the answer for us all I have lost nothing else I will lose it all again Everything just falls to pieces Collecting all of life’s memories Collapse on the open floor And deaths knocking at the door
5.
Vitriolic 03:43
1...2...3... Destroy! Devilishly undecided Practically running through my head rent free Redefined and relinquished Masticated indecency Relative to my current state of mind A fire in my head - and a burning in my eyes Do you feel it? The anger that I have Unleashed and unrelenting vitriol Hate - flows through me This will be my novelty Hate - flows through me You will be another casualty You will be another casualty And I’m taking it out on you You speak to me with a Condescending tone I'm fracturing and breaking every bone Step up to me and I'll lay you out Fueling my anger is another route A knife and a gun is the only thing that I know - that I know Hit the deck (just hit the deck) One more mouth off and I'll snap your fucking neck Do you feel it? The anger that I have Unleashed and unrelenting vitriol Hate - flows through me This will be my novelty Hate - flows through me You will be another casualty Hate - flows through me This will your final peace Hate - flows through me Your hate... flows through me

And then you remind - me of someone I used to know (blind) Devious and destitute Am I delirious or do I know you? My heart aches for you to choose this I have been postponed until further notice In a glass jar on my shelf A faded dream A distant memory Here's a requiem for you Here’s a requiem for myself - for my sorrow Suffering in solitude (Suffering in solitude - here’s a requiem for you) Seriously sedated Walking around the room and talking to myself Intoxicating my life with questions and nothing gets answered My heart aches for you to choose this I have been postponed until further notice In a glass jar on my shelf A faded dream A distant memory Here's a requiem for you In a glass jar on my shelf A faded dream A distant memory Here's a requiem for you Here’s a requiem for you A requiem for all A requiem for?

Withered 04:22
I can’t wake up…. I’m withered and wilted Forgotten and left for dead I disappear when things don’t go my way (And I) Only return at the start of a new day Hearing voices every night Tell me that I was once cursed at the sight And I’m bleeding out - forever delirious Repeating in my head as I can’t wake up Collecting old memories Of the way that we used to be Been starting my life all over Waking up in someone else’s nightmare Collide with my blank stare 2 days turned into 5 years Bringing down the world And introducing a whole new well of tears Replacing the past And carving away At an uncertain future or day I’m confusing death, without a single manifest or Manic depressive thing to say Deliver us unto evil Releasing your anger and frustration on other people Endlessly repeating in my sleep as I can’t wake up And I wither away... Collecting old memories of the way that we used to be Been starting my life all over Waking up in someone else’s nightmare Wither away at my insides Wilting into the breeze Falling all around me Look at me with a new grin Without even shedding my skin It’s a nightmare (This is my nightmare) And I’m waking up a brand new me (I will never wake up again) As I wilt and wither away (As I wither away)
8.
A New Trend 04:10
It’s a social media trend You can leave me you worthless fuck Visceral and vindictive Verified and executed Going viral is the new plague Your parents have nothing on you Now that your saved It’s a social media trend You can meet me in Fashion Land Thoughts and prayers are never enough Look at me you worthless fuck I’m filled with rage Compose yourself before you hit the stage And I’m clearing my head again and again Taking my hatred as a sign I saw this in a movie once they all died It’s a social media trend You can meet me in Fashion Land Thoughts and prayers are never enough Look at me you worthless fuck Tell me your likes and tell me your cries Tell me what you’ve done inside Ego death A martyrs answer Bereave me and the shit I spat at you Reconcile with me And I’ll make it worth your while Ego death A martyrs cries This is what you wanted Another martyrs answer You will be the one who cries Ego death It’s a social media trend You can meet me in Fashion Land Thoughts and prayers are never enough Look at me you worthless fuck Never again - never again Fuck whatever you stand for - well never again You reconcile with me, and I’ll make it worth your while Fuck your likes and fuck all of your lives
9.
The Darkness 04:10
I’m flooded with anger The anger fills the room Surrounded by my dreams Submerged in my subconscious I am drenched in sweat Drowning in my viscous nightmares And take hold of me I can’t breathe - I can’t breathe Engulfed by the black (the black) It’s above my neck (my neck) The day gives to night (the night) Nocturnal sense of sight And this is my day Arise within me This will be my day Nothing will stop my reign Surviving a night in nocturnal city Where failure is not an option Advocating this for me It’s my obsession Self-inflicted injection You won’t survive the night You hide inside In the sleepless city Try to stay alive Try not to fucking die They won’t let you live Survival is against its will Try not to die And stay alive I’ll stay awake And fall asleep They’re coming to get me And this is my day Arise within me This will be my day Nothing will stop my reign Be in my life You won’t survive Survive the night in nocturnal city I will die Survive - awake through the night Don’t fall asleep, in the nocturnal city
10.
Vigil 04:25
4000 candles - a secluded vigil Hiding in shambles, to say goodbye Turned into dust Dig into the dirt Remove the rust Cascading down Test my faith (in you) Remember those who’ve died Remember the fallen and their demise Surrender your feelings to your god Tell her what you’ve waited to say Remember to cover the lies Memories that are forged in fire Remember that burning inside Surrender your life to me Light the candle and burn a flame Saying a prayer in your name Losing my love and compassion again My vigil for you will be your last reckoning Your last reckoning Preserving your name A conservative insane Screaming to the sky and caressing my hate Victory and defeat in a week Test my faith (in you) Forget the way that you cried Forget the life you've turned inside (out) One with me and one with the earth Reincarnated to a new rebirth Processed and self-aware Starving for a breath of air Misery loves company Pack it up and surrender your life to me Light the candle and burn a flame Saying a prayer in your name Losing my love and compassion again My vigil for you will be your last reckoning
11.
In Question 03:18
Looking directly at you My face 2 inches from yours Is this what you believe in? Spewing ignorance and malice Malignant and mental - you are diseased You are the rotten We will never run away from this like cowards Or turn a back Defending honors, an absurdity that never rests Under indoctrination as you surrender Never questioning Is this the only way? If they sold you the truth, would you hold on to this? What you believe in Let them sell you the lie (Let them sell you lies) Until it bears you down Never tell me a lie Look straight in my eyes and tell me the truth Only cowards in my subconscious will show me the proof The hell with this! Maybe you will lead, or maybe you will stray forever Is this the only way? If they sold you the truth, would you hold on to this? What you believe in Let them sell you the lie (Let them sell you lies) Until it bears you down And severs your heart
12.
I’m running away from ignorance And running away from my self-indulgence I’m terrified of what I have turned into I’m just a monster with a clearer view Of the shadows that haunt me An escapable crime Take your punishment lying down A destructive mass genocide We will prevail Coronation of the greatest time Living for a purpose Masquerading as the killer Overcome that feeling of being worthless I’ll just tell them the devil made me do it The devil made me lie Driving myself mad with petty thoughts I’m watching the world as its carelessly bought and sold for gold Memories of old Nightmares of a failing tomorrow Killing what’s left inside We will prevail Coronation of the greatest time And we sell our souls for another piece of my mind Living for a purpose Masquerading as the killer Overcome that feeling of being worthless I’ll just tell them the devil made me do it The devil made me lie The devil made me kill them I just lost my mind I sold my soul to steal what’s lost I’ll self-destruct without even a thought
13.
Zero 06:30
Open up my mind Let’s release what’s inside I’m lost without a purpose It’s time to realize As I point the barrel at you It’s time to die Open up my mind Release the demon that’s inside Cornered and confused by it all Listen to my endless story As I point my finger at you No regrets There’s no release No escape from the world I see No regrets Take my soul released from this world (Taking my soul again as I’m released from this world) No regrets, no beliefs take everything with me Take it all with me Negotiating with myself The voices envelope you Get out of my head and erase all the memories And replace them with a brand new me Listen to my endless story As I point at you Never - ever Will I want to fight myself again and win? Never - ever Can I expect to lose and never kill? In the end Take my soul released from this world (Keep taking my soul again and I’m released from this world) No regrets, no beliefs take everything with me Take my soul released from this world (Keep taking my soul again released from this world) Leave everything in place Leave it all with me I’ll leave it all in place As I release from this world I can’t take everything in Leave it all in place
