Wiser Man 04:16
lyrics

a wiser man than I once told me all the world's a lie, and we should live upon the land, like days gone by the iron in my arteries makes targets out of me; as lenses bend the red to blue, it all turns green if I could know the consequences as the years roll on, I'd get while getting's good before it's gone, it's gone early to bed early to rise

Kings 05:00
lyrics

three kings share this realm the powerful two bends the earth to his muse, ambitious one lashed to the helm through their profanity they show their insanity power to the new same as the old king so it's been decreed it's taken this long, and we could be wrong, for all we know, but keep the decks boat-free, says three oh, the vanity an ode to humanity power to the new king same as the old king what were we thinking? this ship is sinking through careful regicide we'll make our way inside and throw those gates wide! rome burns and we are the barbarians home burns gives us scars we're all carryin' still, we re build, unful filled by the flames kings rule us all, every place, for all days watch as we fashion our crowns from the ashes

God of Worms 01:52

bare feet, wading knee-deep in the quagmire manifest destiny, flying the flag higher swamp worm conquering, king of the wasteland surely this leads to a better way concrete ingestion complete so sweet chain, tame, release shrieking demons roaming the hallways sermons roaring, forever and always ugliness is attracting the faithful holy refuse in their wake cesspool people think we're cool we rule, man we're gods of the worms god of worms chain, tame, release god of worms

Bastille 05:33
lyrics
buy track
what'll it take, he asks of me, to reignite the books of history? we'll write our story right here in the streets, infernal surface blistering the brothers fight again over and over, on and on it's harder than it seems to keep the trigger warm to keep the killers in and hear you through the din what'll it take, he ruminates, to regulate the fuel that this age burns make chum from these martyrs, the sharks'll keep the waters churning no punishment gets through to them higher and higher, on and on we'll make dust of these walls and break them, one and all we'll drag them by their skin and send our killers in stop: struggling, resisting, fighting and start letting go, go, go stone on stone makes sparks and I'm afraid I finally see the changes that we've made

Army of the Sun 03:23
lyrics
buy track
please, what could I see, to make me believe just say the word you know it's absurd please, through random chance, or planned circumstance I'll get what I need so follow my lead, yeah no shadow of mine dies alone no water, no no clouds just thinking aloud no living just living dead I've been to the top of the mountain yeah, I saw heaven in the distance I saw skeletons empty-eyed battalions bleaching in the heat to keep the night at bay a million silent soldiers all marching as one I take my place and face the horizon my skin to make leather my bones to make guns my life to join the army of the sun

No Survivors 04:35
lyrics
buy track
you come to see me but my hands are empty I see the way to my home plated in chrome, encased in stone you can't avoid me avert your gaze, my face is haunting I know we've done this before but I've got you wanting more if we only survive we'll flip our lives and start again if we only survive there're no survivors my first strike will bring you to your knees like the fire through the trees you come to see me as the only way out my first strike will bring you to your knees like the fire through the trees you come to see me as the one who'll save you I am eternal and if you wait, I'll wait forever like the fire through the trees just like the smoke floats on the breeze I stand beside you ready to catch you when you fall before you think this through the payment's due and I've come for you so if we only survive we'll live our lives much better than if we only survive there're no survivors my first strike will bring you to your knees like the fire through the trees you come to see me as the only way out my first strike will bring you to your knees like the fire through the trees you come to see me as the one who'll set you free the only thing I wanted was just one thing to destroy but in the end, I only got what I deserved death is free

about

Bion Boston, Massachusetts

Stripped-down progressive rock that's heavy. Weird enough to keep us interested for at least 45 minutes. Best enjoyed live... or at least alive.
