Digging Deeper Down

Dearth of the Earth
A fear in your bones
A gnawing feeling won't leave you alone
Tried to give in
Tried to give out
Never knowing what it's about
And I'll just keep digging my grave
Deeper and Deeper and Deeper down
Until I reach the other side
And I'll just keep digging my grave
Deeper and Deeper and Deeper down
Until I reach the other side
You ought to know
Just how it feels
To be stuck in place
Burning your own wheels
Time to rise up
And make known your name
Just give them someone to blame
And I'll just keep digging my grave
Deeper and Deeper and Deeper down
Until I reach the other side
And I'll just keep digging my grave
Deeper and Deeper and Deeper down
Until I reach the other side

In dark you keep searching
For Something in vain
Consumed by your arrogance
it only increases the pain
Eyes bleed out, a painful infection
Gathered by your soul's own rejection
If fear is the beginning of wisdom
Then why are we not wise?
It's coming after you, in from the outside
Will you let it in?
Run to your room and lock the door
See the black candle burn to the floor
What the hell is it you're looking for?
In your room fall to the floor, staring at a broken ouija board
It speaks to you no more
Broken bits and pieces
of glass and a forgotten toy
Carry your self so well, oh well
it's got you more than a little annoyed
Restless, broken and beaten
But you thought you were in control
Instead you watch it become a horror show
It's coming after you, in from the outside
Will you let it in?
Run to your room and lock the door
See the black candle burn to the floor
What the hell is it you're looking for?
In your room fall to the floor, staring at a broken ouija board
It speaks to you no more

Soulless Void

Layers of Earth that separate
Between the casket and the air
Lay my shovel to the ground
And pretend no one is down there
The night is dark but light enough
For what I got to do
You saw my face in the fading light
You knew it was me who did this to you
Deep beneath the earth you lay
In a Soulless Void you stay
And if I ever see your face again..
There will be Hell to pay
In a Soulless Void you lay, there will be Hell to pay
There will be Hell to pay
In a Soulless Void you lay, there will be Hell to pay
No one is aware of my crime
No one suspects a thing
My mind is driving me insane
And the thought of everything
Confession is not enough to rid the anxiety
Wish someone could hear my side, but please, give me no pity
Deep beneath the earth you lay
In a Soulless Void you stay
And if I ever see your face again..
There will be Hell to pay
In a Soulless Void you lay, there will be Hell to pay
There will be Hell to pay
In a Soulless Void you lay, there will be Hell to pay

Make You Mine

When I buried you six feet beneath the frozen soil
I didn't know you would be hungry and coming back for more
This death can feel so lonely, God knows that I tried
But it's so hard to pull that trigger when there's hunger in your eyes
Those eyes, they say it all
Your mouth has got lockjaw
But that look in your eyes
Says "I wanna take you, I just wanna take you, I just wanna make you mine!"
I just wanna make you mine
Cat got your tongue but was headed for the trash
I had to chase it down so I could try and get it back
This death can feel so lonely, God knows that I tried
But it's so hard to pull that trigger when there's hunger in your eyes
Those eyes, they say it all
Your mouth has got lockjaw
But that look in your eyes
Says "I wanna take you, I just wanna take you, I just wanna make you mine!"
I just wanna make you mine

You told me that I broke your heart
and I injured your soul
I washed your blood off from my face
And the pain took it's toll
So I cast my sins into the waters
Down at Bishop Lake
Plead my emptiness
So they would not lose faith
That which is deep
That which is dark
That which is dank
Come down with me and drag the waters
At Bishop Lake
it's said that time it heals all wounds
But some pain will last
You tore me down and cut my bruises
and held a mirror up to my past
So I cast my sins into the waters
Down at Bishop Lake
Plead my emptiness
So they would not lose faith
That which is deep
That which is dark
That which is dank
Come down with me and drag the waters
At Bishop Lake
You got me down on my knees
and the hands of death reach out for me
You got me down on my knees
Begging for one taste of mercy

The Meritocracy of Hell
04:17

Hardline is your impeccable wisdom
You knowledge is so austere
Red embers flow out on the landscape
Abandon all hope ye who enter here
White heat cleanses the tarnish
Of a life spent living a lie
Dark frequencies begin the madness
Forever asking yourself "why?"
No use in fighting
Welcome to the winners chair
You've earned your place
You've earned your space
You've earned it oh so well
Step to the plate
Accept your fate
In the meritocracy
Of Hell, dark figures confine your vision
Can't see if there is no light
Your throat clogs with soot and the ashes
There is no day, there is no night
Past desire explodes to mourning
Your ears deafen with the BOOM
A door that only swings open one way
Looks like there's still plenty of room
No use in fighting
Welcome to the winners chair
You've earned your place
You've earned your space
You've earned it oh so well
Step to the plate
Accept your fate
In the meritocracy

So many people watching time go by
So many people locked in the kennel of life
Living in your own filth, everything looks so big
Cower in your primitive hole
Never seeking more life, content to losing time
As long as they fill up your bowl
Tell me not to think or feel
Tell me not to find what's real
Trying so hard to get the chain off my neck
Who's pulling the other end? so I will forget
Pushing at my own cage, not intent to housebreak
But to fight an open space
Snapping at the hand that feed, the same one that won't let me be
But I'll never see your face
Tell me not to think or feel
Tell me not to find what's real
Tell me not to care for truth
Eat, sleep, procreate, that's all life wants of you

Warlords of the New Electric
by Wasted Theory
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Meritocracy of Hell”
To me this is like 70ies Heavy Metal in nearly all aspects. I can understand the comparisons to Motörhead but to me they don’t really sound like them, except maybe for the Heavy Blue style lead breaks. What they do have is the drive, gravelly vocals and swagger of Motörhead. This they have that in buckets. Super fun Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that just doesn’t age.

The best heavy scuzz drug riffs and fucked vocal. Grooves like zombies.

A stunner from this Salt Lake City band, “Ingress” combines the brawn of Sabbath with the weight of Yob.

More Heavy Metal/Hard Rock from the guys who know how to do it right. Starts at 11 and just go up from there. This one reminds me of the Texas Hippy Coalition doing 70ies Heavy Metal with some Hair Rock lead breaks thrown in.
