Structure Of Demise
05:00
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Systems once thrived in the past
Now seem prehistoric today
Structures built for Ancient Times
Given merit for standards per se
Advances taken far too fast
Without much or nothing to say
Demise comes with cryptic signs
Obvious once far too late
Chorus:
Running the well dry
From sources long since refrained
A call to the void
Silence sustained
A house that was built
But formed from clay
And now with the rain
This structure is bound to decay
Bridge/Breakdown:
Burning the currency
For matters uncertain
Their propaganda feeds
Off false hopes & identities
Verse 2:
Boycott sources of infection
Strickening the institutions
Preaching a way of life that they
Don’t pay into themselves
Funneling the waste, they lay
Consuming all within their cells
Revolution’s inception
Begins with devastation
Chorus:
Running the well dry
From sources long since refrained
A call to the void
Silence sustained
A house that was built
But formed from clay
And now with the rain
This structure is bound to decay

Fall Prey To Insanity
04:34
|
|||
|
Verse:
I lie awake inside a room
With walls of discord and gloom
Breaking free, to a place unknown
Surrounded by life I face alone
Almost free, but still contained
Thoughts and impulses strained
A decrepit angel, falling from the sky
Clipping of wings, denied to fly
Pre-Chorus
Reflecting Descent
A plea for repent
Fear of when the final curtain falls
Chorus:
Cover my eyes ‘cause I cannot face reality
Questioning these feelings I have of uncertainty
Anxiety controlling my thoughts and my abilities
Finding ways for my mind to wonder
Falling Prey To Insanity
Lost inside a future dream
A tense difficult to redeem
A whirlwind of possibilities
Perceived to only cause casualties
Broken and dry, believing a lie
Weathering wills and reasons why
Stood up high, with heads so low
A sense of shame begins to grow

Radical Sense Of Mind
05:52
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Bow to the center of madness
They come to steal your psychic
Manipulate the blackness eternal
To fit within their own rhetoric
To Condemn
Divergents
Spreading fear
Refuse change
Chorus:
Radical Sense Of Mind
Concepts formed by flawed design
Pathways sanctioned line by line
To become…
Verse 2:
Blind to truths unlike their own
Formed by fears of the unknown
Death comes and the light will flash
Finality, reduced to ash
They will fight
To force feed
One belief
As one law
Chorus:
Radical Sense Of Mind
Concepts formed by flawed design
Pathways sanctioned line by line
To become eventually mentally…
BLIND!!
Outro:
The old way is dead. Ascend to your own occasion
Since they have all lost what it means to be free
Antipathy for all perceived as “unholy”
But “unholy” is freewill to challenge corruption.

The Mirror That Lies
05:34
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Selfish consumption, contagious destruction
The direct result of your actions
Claiming to suffer from your circumstances
But possess a narcissistic obsession
Pre-chorus:
The life you claim is killing you
Will soon become reality
The people you love will be drove away
A lost cause is all that you’ll be
Verse 2:
A shallow soul is living inside
Presenting to convince otherwise
The ones who have given are now cast aside
You take all the credit as you wear your disguise
Pre-chorus 2:
The throne in which you have built for yourself
Does not amount to royalty
There’s not a thing that can be done
To cover up your disloyalty
The Mirror That Lies! X2
Refrain:
You feel that you’re better than everyone else
But you’ll fall in your grave just the same
Your spoiled existence should keep to itself
And realize that you are to blame!

Persistent Soul
06:35
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
The hands of time are spinning
The sun will rise and set
There’s no end to the beginning
And life is an endless bet
The paths we walk are afflicted
The coals are hot with consequence
When the story twists and turns
We prevail through persistence
Verse 2:
Standing upon this mountain
Staring across the canyons
As the light shines in my eyes
This is when I realize
Through all the wind and rain
The sacrifice and pain
The worry and the sorrow
I say, “This is MY Tomorrow!”
Verse 3:
The raging rivers flow
Impossible Terrain
A testament of triumph
The sky I will attain
Outro/Chorus:
Nothing will overthrow my persistent soul
The fire inside will burn all those who oppose
Trudge through the valleys, and climb the peaks of the world
And watch the beauties of life unfurl

Charonyx
Founded in June 2014. Charonyx is a Progressive Thrash Metal band with a new EP
‘Persistent Soul’ and some new music already on the horizon for 2024 and beyond!
Charonyx recommends:
This album is like if Queensryche, Mastodon, Judas Priest, and Voivod had an orgy together and created this bastard child of progressive heavy metal. The covers they have on here are also excellent.

Super impressive Melodic Black Metal hailing from Louisville, Kentucky. For a debut album, this one is really well crafted and the guitar layering is next level. An extreme record with hooks for days

I've gotten myself into GR by first getting their last album, then decided to give this one a go too. Atoms divide, life decays, seems we are into nuclear explosions here, that is how GR feels, a powerful and fast blitz and stormy riffs and groovy hardcorish - thrashy blasts. Highly recommended for all thrash lovers out there. Toxic Holocaust does come in mind, true that, Wraith, Municipal Waste fans should love this !
