lyrics

On the bleeding edge
Smithsman dull these scissor hands
A danger to myself
Board up, seize the fire escape
On the losing end
Puzzled, stray and deviate
Run from your demons
Into the frayed safety net

Now I see the light
A blaze, hear their cries
You will pay the price
For your controlling mind

Eagle on the fence
Straying from the sworn old oath
Handcuffed elections
Amongst haunting screaming crowds

I can feel their eyes
Every time I lie
Pressure to deny
This depression that's feeding me my own soul

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Uneasy hands that hold the power
Man in the tower on the throne
Open your mouth to throwing stones

Once forgiven you hold the scepter
My deception under the weight…

…Of the crown

Freedom, dependance
Deaths taking its toll
Pardon the gallows
That you can control

Out of the shadows we're pulling the strings
Guided by the wind chills in the forest
Maybe the end to something greater than we know
The man that can't be told to let go of the world
Hungry for the fall

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Uneasy hands that hold the power
Man in the tower on the throne
Open your mouth to throwing stones

Once forgiven you hold the scepter
My deception under the weight…

…Of the crown
Of the crown
The weight of the crown

In the summer of 2015 they competed in the Wacken Metal Battle Canada placing as one of the National Finalists, turning many heads towards this group. ... more
