                                                                                      IGHT OF THE MOON was made with much stubborn determination. In some ways I have worked my way back. In others I have worked from the ground up. All music was recorded and edited through constant trial and error. I feel I have learned a college education’s worth of knowledge  during this time. The songs egregiously switch through transformations, and are  built on  themes of personal transitions,  life, death , love, devotion and of course lunar-driven beasts. 

               From the moment the first lyrics were written to now has been 2 years. It was conceived during the hardest and darkest time in my life. But it was also finished days of triumph and joy. The toiling process of making this imperfect grandeur perfectly reflects its emotional roots  of fear, doubt, insecurity,  While most compositions here feature a   protagonist which  transforms from man to beast; many also hopefully transition to purity. I put my hope in God  that I have transformed into a better human being

Lyrics

You hear your name being called in the night

You follow the sound until there’s no more light

Your eyes calibrate, but it’s too late to see

That it’s me

I wait in the shadows until you are near

Your stiff from the cold, but your frozen with fear

This is your last chance to embrace serenity

The supernatural is infatuating me

You’re given up to this mythological side of me

My mouth is stretching and opening wide

I smile and swallow you deep down inside

My eyes are bright, reflecting the light, they glow in the night

I run so fast that I don’t leave a trace

The supernatural is infatuating me

You’re given up to this mythological side of me

We want you to know

Never let you go

Together as one

Our bond is never undone

Waiting silently

Down on hands and knees

We beg for relief

Whether death or reprieve 

And I’m holding you

Till this thing is through

Until heaven’s eternity

 

As you roll back your eyes

Tell me things that you see

Tell me we’re still alive

Tell me pain is a distant memory 

 

If we get you back

Will your heart attack

All your delicate pieces

There’s no rhythm

There’s no reason

Though in hell you live

So much life you give

And you fill me up with joy

That no sickness can destroy

While I live in fear

Knowing death is near

I wish God would let it go

So I could take back control

I am powerless

Can’t get you out of this

I am spiritually poor

So I sit and pray some more

 

Angels of Earth attend our rebirth

Foundating our chance to survive

We want to laugh, to live and forget

To bury it deep down inside

 

 

 

You don’t understand what you say

You just repeat what you hear

Your absence gives you away

Let’s make something clear

 

My back was turned

Neck on a noose

You watched as they sold me out

I played your game

Played as hard as I could

You watched as they sold me out

 

I used to trust my instincts

Sometimes I wish they were wrong

You let them fill up with lies

When you knew all along

 

I could not feel

I could not breathe

You helped as they sold me out

Typed over the chair

That was under my feet

You laughed as they sold me out

 

I’m no longer scared of the pain

But I still fear the unknown

Stronger than ever before

 

 

Straight through me

I’m wasted and feeling free

Life is too short to rest

I’m pushing it to live my best

Looking around now and then

Remembering where I have been

Reflecting the useless ways

I’ve sacrificed so many days

 

Fade in and out

Falling asleep

This broken arrow

Is buried deep

 

Say my heart wants to sing

It’s drowning in everything

Poured it all out before

I will thirst until I hurt no more

 

Twisted and torn

Cuts down inside of me

I will ignore

The rest of my life will run dry

I will run dry

I can feel your pain

Like every time it rains

It’s like an elegy

Feels like hell to me

 

Hope is lost and all the colors are grey

We’re pointing leeward, and we’re running away

Remember when we said these days are the best that we’ll ever have

 

Their distant memories

Drifting carelessly 

And just like you and me

They end up in the sea

 

Like figure eights, our lives will cross and divide

And in the end we’re on the other side

And in-between there will be days that are good

And days that are bad

 

Oh, I’ve waited so long

I feel I’ve grown lost

As time moves on and on

 

Hope is lost and all the colors are grey

We’re pointing leeward and we’re running away

Remember when we said these days are the best that we’ll ever have

Like figure eights, our lives will cross and divide

And in the end we’re on the other side

And in between there will be days that are good

And days that are bad

Learned so much when I watched you cry

When I watched your soul give up to die

 

Days remaining are a dream

A second breath of life redeemed

Preserving all my time with you

We face the days until we’re through

With every splinter of a tree

Un-heralding and silently

Heart of mine is yours to take

I loved you till you were awake

 

Oh, I can’t turn back

And it stirs me in the worst kind of way

 

Thoughts are breaking me up inside

Fears are growing as time goes by

 

Darkness upon the great below

With certainty I had to know

I turned to see the fading light

That etches day out of the night

Evading viability

We stepped into eternity

Follow the ones we’ve loved before

The blinding gaze beyond the door

 

Oh, I can’t turn back

And it stirs me in the worst kind of way

 

 

Wondering along a dangerous road

Not knowing how or where it will go

Watching the stars that spell out your name

I wait for the sign that already came

 

Spoken to me, ancient mystery

I will sing a second song

Here I rely on the path in front of me

I am right where I belong

 

Run away, seeking the truth

Running back until I find you

 

I had the loveliest kind of dream

Burning bright as the seraphim

Guiding light is shining right through me

When you called me you already knew me

 

Run away, seeking the truth

Running back until I find you

I can’t erase the pain, I can’t erase the fear

My prediction is that I’ll die alone in here

I can’t erase the things that I say

That you don’t want to hear

I can see by the way that you’re talking to me

You never learned a single thing about humility

You really need to replace that foolish look on your face

How can we rearrange and put you back in your place

 

Heaven has left me it seems

I cry out for this futility

I have been searching for your word

I will seek you out somehow

 

Can you hear the beat of a broken drum

The ancients cry out in song

We do not know where they’re from

They’re only here to reclaim and embrace

Every song that we make

Every eardrum we break

And I was lost when they sold it to me

The only part remaining in the story

That broken record plays

And spins and spins

Until everyone gets caught in the fray

 

It does take some time to make the words line up with melody

It’s all in my mind I’m plagiarizing everything

I look at the sun

The colors are running endlessly

And as I go blind my broken eyes

Are dead to me

 

Run Away, seeking the truth

Running back until I find you

 

Heaven has left me it seems

I cry out for this futility 

I have been searching for your word

I will seek you out somehow

 

 

An evil dream weighs on my mind

I’m stricken by an ancient kind

I feel this thing come over me

This is my stark reality

 

Hold onto me

Don’t let me go

This revery is taking slow

 

The light that you see

Goes way down inside of me

 

I walk away from all I know

Among the shadows of the glow

I understand what I should do

Till there was you

 

In between where two lovers meet

Divided by monstrosity

For when my love turns into hate

And you are there will I abate

 

The light that you see

Goes way down inside of me

 

As the moon is laying low

And the Earth completes it’s turn

My blood reverses flow

And my heart begins to burn

 

Humanity is torn away

My naked soul begins to pray

I’m lost and don’t know what to do

I clutch the beast that’s after you

 

The light that you see

Goes way down inside of me

 

My hairless skin begins to crack

I cannot get my lover back

My face reshapes I’m growing teeth

Oh God, please stop what’s happening

 

The light that you see

Goes way down inside of me

 

I walk away from all I know

Among the shadows of the glow

I understand what I should do

Til there was you

 

It’s almost time to face the music

It’s almost time to face the facts

Take a piece if your good to use it

Silver shot is what you need to pack

I’mma warn you if plan to freak

You stay the hell away from here

If you appear to be weak

My shield is fight or die

You don’t belong if you plan to hide

 

It’s almost time to face the music

It’s almost time to face the facts

You’re talking noise wit’ your boys

But they’ll run to the woods 

When the blood falls down your back

You can make a stand in the moon

Illuminating all of its light

I will hide in the shadows tonight

Covered in mud and passed over like an Israelite

 

Familiar voices are calling

Crying for my return

I hear their pain and suffering 

As I have already turned

 

Dialogue: 

You know it’s almost here, right?

Woah, I can feel it in the air! Can you feel that?

Now is the time that the red moon rises

We better go inside

Shhh… wait! Did you hear that?

 

Familiar voices are calling 

Crying for my return

I hear their pain their suffering 

As I have already turned

Into me taken by illuminosity

You’ll never figure it out

The road washed in blood

How can it be my destiny?

You’ll never figure it out
