Demons 05:49
Demons live inside A comfortable place to tell their lies They don’t deserve your ear Yet they seem to speak so clear I found out on that day Demons will find their way They found me all alone They speak to this day Demons want your trust Try to tear you down with no remorse They might seem like a crutch Til that weight is dropped I found out on that day Demons will find their way They found me all alone They speak to this day
2.
Dark Waves 05:08
Dark Waves are closing in Six souls must push ahead We will not, not be lost Small vessel breaking apart Backs broken racing hearts As we feel the blood flow We won’t make it to shore White Lion is at the helm OG holds firm and grounds As the rain, batters down Wind hurls us side to side We stare death in the eye Just an inch, to disappear We won’t make it to shore
3.
The Cog 04:17
Rage, a parasitic mob Blind, believing what they want Fools, violent and dumb Clinging to their guns Ocean, a sea of only white Puppets, the cog in their own blight Claims in the name of God The shame they have brought Take what you want, it’s all over when you’re gone
4.
Awaken 06:56
To fall asleep here Is to wake up there Free from mortal flesh My head sinks below And the world dissolves Self sufficient joy I don't want to go Don’t want to leave my home But this world isn’t true Because it still has you Meet at the same spots Midnight Mardi Gras Limitations fold Time will slip away Clocks will melt and fade Suspended in this place
5.
Melting shadows follow you around Deny their pain, in death you will drown Burning forests, hear destructions howl You can’t live in peace, you don’t know how Voices scream and shout Into the void, cast out Voices scream and shout Echoes of the past are crying out Chaos reigns, who will survive? Be still, pretend you’re not alive But the statue shakes with blinding rage Tear down the throne, rattle the cage
6.
Death Grip 03:38
Without death you can’t survive Back door deals right in plain sight Strangers pass, you come alive Stack your profit miles high Just how much can you lose all at once When you know, you'll know What we learned we forgot The water washed it away I throw myself to the waves Evil cloaked in rituals Families broken at their core Scared and weak they come to you At the mercy of your rule
7.
The Path 03:45
There’s a place where they can’t find you Safe, warm, far away from all this Breathe in, feel no more fear of them I’ll show you the door if you can run When it comes to pass When they lose control I see a path When they come for you And they want your soul You’ll tell them no You’ll tell them no Reap what they sow There’s a place where they won’t find you Safe, Warm, Far away from all pain Breathe in, feel no more fear of them I’ll show you the way out of here
8.
Mad King 04:56
Feeling lost, another way to feel alone I cannot find a way to gain control They will not find a prize at the end Once you’re free you’ll never look back again Annihilate reality, the truth will bend Darkness has never seemed so close If greed reigns this sinking ship will never float Have you seen the people flocking To the one they call the New King?

about

BLACK LUNG Baltimore, Maryland

In the deadly cold winter of 2014, Black Lung emerged from the underbelly of Baltimore with unprecedented amounts of volume. A union of Adam Bufano, Elias Mays Schutzman (of The Flying Eyes) and multi-instrumentalist Dave Cavalier, the trio toes the line between sonic pain and melodic bliss. ... more
