Modern Empire Music 2022-09-09 | As storming fury rose
Arms and armor clashing
By command of sovereign power
To fall off, Trangress a
Creator's will
Lords of this world besides

Numerous heralds
That omit the sky's
Crowned throne of glory
Built in respite
The weak and anguished

Cast out
Of heaven

What in me is low
To raise in support
That I might turn
At the height of this
Great argument

As feathers fell
And we shed our wings
Et chains to hell
And a mortal sings

Of blazen chariots that blanket the sky
Tempest fall like noble stroke,
Angel's soil earth
A mass black shroud,
Fit to incremate this natural habitation

Cast out
Of heaven

As storming fury rose
Arms and armor clashing
By command of sovereign power
The sad assortment around
To pacify this lake of fire
silent we lay

As feathers fell
And we shed our wings
Et chains to hell
And a mortal sings

Trauma Model - Suffer Harder (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2022-09-01 | Suffer harder, on your knees
Suffer harder, human disease
We are all fucked on this dying planet
Executed on the bloody granite

Suffer harder, find your way out
Suffer harder, sew your lying mouth
We are all fucked on this dying planet
Executed on the bloody granite

Misery
Unchained
Dead
With no name

I will tie it tighter
I will break your soul
Have you ever seen it fail

You will tie it tighter
You will always fail
Nothing you can do
No prevail

I will watch you suffer
No euphoria
I can only hope you fail

The world will watch you die without a name
Everything you’ve done, it’s such a shame
Suffer Harder
No utopia

Misery
Unchained
No
Utopia
We are all fucked on this dying planet
Executed this is my vengeance

Suffer harder, on your knees
Suffer harder, human disease
We are all fucked on this dying planet
Executed

SLEEP - ingrv.es/dead_crown_Sleep

VERSE 1
I feel its all my fault I don’t sleep through the night
Hoping that I never wake when I open my eyes
God I hate me
Can you blame me
And these fuckin pills that I take
They Arnt sedating

lost and confused
What the hell should I be
A struggle with purpose I’ve lost my identity
All I know is I long for something better
Than what this life has given to me

CHORUS:
Ask Yourself
Do you welcome the end
Cuz I fuckin do
Ask Yourself
You hear that voice in your head
That’s the sound of god listening

VERSE#2:
No peace of mind
No fucking rest in my head
No home, no solace
Envious for the dead
God I hate me
Can you blame me
And these pills that I take
They Arnt sedating

And I don’t need no help
Better off dead
ill do this shit by myself
So ill Take another drink
And take it all through the night
Anything i gotta do
Just to keep myself high
I’m sayin

CHORUS:
Ask Yourself
Do you welcome the end
Cuz I fuckin do
Ask Yourself
You hear that voice in your head
That’s the sound of god listening
2x

LAST BREAKDOWN:
No meaning in life
Blank stare, only death behind my eyes
Please don’t pray for me
I’m in way too deep
One more pill until i fall asleep

Fuck I guess it’s better then nothing
Lay me to sleep
You hear that voice on your head
That’s the sound of god listening

Prompts - Of Nothing ft. Kyle Medina of Bodysnatcher

Modern Empire Music 2022-07-06 | The ignorant start staring
why you turn and screaming
simple answers, but no one takes the blaming

bury down,kill it
erase the pain, my feeling
No one understands the pain what we weighing

The crown is
Being covered in blood
The crown is covered in blood, can never wash it away

Bitches be bitching they're sick and tired of the system
but fuck the business, you turned the side for moral reasons

Step back

give a gun to the lost ones
send them out blindfold, frontline

The throne made with their blood spilt
waiting for the next sacrifice to come and finish
No

Turn away and go blind now,
you will see what you get,
cuz no one ever give a fuck

The ignorant start staring
why you turn and screaming
simple answers, but no one takes the blaming

bury down, kill it
erase the pain, my feeling
No one understands the pain what we weighing

The crown is
Being covered in blood
The crown is covered in blood, can never wash it away

Why did you turn
Why did you turn
Head or tails it
doesn’t matter what side you on
Was i the one who’s wrong for being silent
Now everything just seems to be repeating
You know that
Head or tails it doesn’t matter

Theres not a single one awaken
It doesn't make it clean just by washing out

Just by washing out

clock hands pointing the end
the blades are pointing my eyes
beyond the empty sandglass
what are you seeing through it

progress which turns to be retrograde
the child of indolence is the infamous
will swallow everything and control the whole
Just Step back

This is the only way we live
This is the only hertiage we cease
No one is saving or worshiping you
find to give our faith

The time has come
now
If only we could die in peace
So blame to the seeker
and aim to the sailor

The time
has come
for all of us to die in agony

You know that Head or tails it doesn’t matter

Why did you turn
Why did you turn
Head or tails it
doesn’t matter what side you on
Was i the one who’s wrong for being silent
Now everything just seems to be repeating
You know that
Head or tails it doesn’t matter

Know you know head or tails it doesn’t matter

The ignorant start staring
why you turn and screaming
simple answers, but no one takes the blaming

bury down, kill it
erase the pain, my feeling
No one understands the pain what we weighing

The crown is
Being covered in blood

BYSTANDER - Cycle Psychosis (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2022-06-10 | I’m not okay
They’re in my head
If I was weaker I’d already be dead
Perplexed
Nothing makes sense to me
I’m repulsed by everything you say

Confined
They’re living in fear
Surrounded by degenerate filth
Look close
One thing is clear
The snake will always eat itself

So frantically fearful of death
in a life barley worth living
Obsessing over uncontrollable things
In a mind so unforgiving

Fuck what you think

Let’s run it back again
Then We’ll add up the facts and see who’s right In the end
Why try and make sense of it
When You’ll be choking on the latest trend

My mind is a prison
knowing you is a death wish

I’m not okay
They’re in my head
If I was weaker I’d already be dead
Perplexed
Nothing makes sense to me
I’m repulsed by everything you say

Merely a shell of the person I once knew
Pry your eyes open so you’re forced to see the truth
Control the outrage and use it as you will
A hollow mind for them to fill

In this wasteland
Everyone is insufferable
No names or faces
So Lonely and miserable

So frantically fearful of death
in a life barley worth living
Obsessing over uncontrollable things
In a mind so unforgiving

Fuck what you think

Let’s run it back again
Then We’ll add up the facts and see who’s right In the end
Why try And make sense of it
You’ll be choking on the latest trend

They’re living in fear
Surrounded by degenerate filth

Inch by inch
The snake will eat itself again

LYRICS
No way to escape from empty graves
Or the time, from which daylight saves
Cherry picking thoughts of home and the smell of juniper trees

Accompanies this taste of false memories
Blanket the open wound
One less to bloom

Pedals fall with the weight of gravity
Blanket the eyes, make it hard to see

Amnestic applied to statues of limited view
Obelisk of pretenses, cover the world now only to return

No way to escape from empty graves
Or the time, from which daylight saves
Cherry picking thoughts of home and the smell of juniper trees

Accompanies this taste of false memories
Blanket the open wound
One less to bloom

At the top of every ladder
Is a long way down
At the end of every battle
Is the start of the next
Fertile seeds planted on hollow ground
Every breath you take
Is deeper than the rest

Accompanies this taste of false memories
Blanket the open wound
One less to bloom

Put in the work before they put you to rest

We’re not just sinking, we’re falling apart
no direction, no concern
No matter how we stand, we still will fall
So will you join with me

We’re not just sinking, we’re falling apart
No direction, no concern
All we do is take and consume
The end is coming, and we will fall
The fear inside, exposed our eyes
Paradox, but no one cares
I rather push my finger in to my eyes
To my eyes

We’re not just sinking, we’re falling apart
no direction, no concern

Down
Refuse Me
Down
Reject Me
Down
There’s nothing left between us

Down
Now Face me
Down
Condemn me
Down
we heading six feet under

Down
Refuse Me
Down
Reject Me
Down
There’s nothing left between us

Down
Now
Down
Face
Down
Me

I open up the door, but I’m back where I’m before

the only dignity we have been carrying on are vanishing
모두가 갇힌 폐회식
See all the empty souls and feel the hollowness

I can see it all now
I can see it all now
All the frames that we locked ourselves in the cage locked ourselves in the cage
bury me into the ground
Don’t mind, we’re leashed to the ground
Don’t mind, we’re leashed to the ground
Now you have to face me
I can see it all now
I can see it all now
Now you have to face me

We’re not just sinking, we’re falling apart
no direction, no concern
We’re not just sinking, we’re falling apart
no direction, no concern

Our existence is collapsing down
Collapsing down

Now face me

We’re going Down
Refuse Me

Down
Reject Me
Down
There’s nothing left between us

Down
Now Face me
Down
Condemn me
Down
we heading six feet under

We’re going Down
Refuse Me
Down
Reject Me
Down
There’s nothing left between us

Down
Now
Down
Face
Down

Lyrics

God if you’re there could I trouble you for some grace been looking up long enough accustomed to your spit in my face but I guess what’s yearned is earned until desire decays
Like ashes in an urn we keep memories close but out of frame
It’s hard to have faith when beliefs are concave feel the blade scrape before the slicing saves
Sinking down in a hole still searching for higher ground we are holding out from running up that hill to the sound the horns play fear paves our way out
You can’t compare the hate I hold to the crown you stole I wear these wounds so proud emboldened keep your leader’s mouth covered and I’ll sew it shut I’m calling you out the lines been drawn the cord’s now cut key’s marked don’t forget the lock red handed so I know you’ll stop when your finger’s caught
I wasn’t prepared for this die a martyr lived as a heretic I’ll hold my breath spare your judgement till i breathe out if the devil’s real then so is my rage tell the carpenter to drown his first born just in case there’s a wolf in the henhouse casualties are high the whole farm is overrun complacency is the new vibe defiling the nihilist in case he escapes feel the hilt hit bone deeper as it goes

FOR the better of myself, I confide
i confide in nothing but these words I write
grounded by my insecurities
what i fear becomes true
settle me down, my weakness finds me
oblivious to the truth around me
truth around me
narcotic way, to help me ease my pain
always too good, to be true
my walls to god damn thick
they wanna see from the outside in
masochistic ways, without love, i only take pain
settle me down, my weakness finds me
can’t revive the past, nostalgia can be your way
let the truth be buried, with you
fuck being hopeful, let the truth be buried with you
i'm face to fuckin face
these demons in my head, they want me dead
constricted by the chest

Repent for all your sins
I’m so sick of the filth that is running trough my fucking veins
Take me back
To the nether of the earth
My heart is filled with black
But only death is left surrounding
I got nothing but hatred
As this earth laid me for and endless suffering
Look at what you’ve done deserving nothing but a wasteland
Nothing but deadweight and now enough is enough
I’ll make sure you fucking regret it
Who do you think you are
This earth will regenerate
Exterminate the human race
So peel the skin off my face
For my heart is filled with hate
I don’t want them to see the disgrace as i walk through the gates of hell
Where there’s no remorse for your actions
So break every bone in my body
For my heart is filled with hate
No one’s there to pull you trough
You know it takes no man to be just like you
Disgusting human being
Sit still as i rip your heart out
There’s nowhere left to run
Disgust
So just peel the skin right off my face
Bury me
For my heart is filled with agony
Disgusting little human being
Where the fuck is your backbone
Disgusting human being
So just peel the skin right off of my face
For my heart is filled with
Black
As i march trough the gates of hell
Where there’s no remorse for your actions
Disgusting
You’re nothing but deadweight
Where there’s no remorse for your actions
Disgusting human being

Lyrics:
To whom it may concern I got no better route I’ll give two weeks notice two minutes before I clock out to whom it may concern
I discovered self worth in a hearse more than I found in this god damned church
I’ve got less to gain by staying but I sure as hell lived more than I deserved this stained glass won’t last
but the shell of this house a testament of my last words
shaking emotions and a statue’s stance imbibing constantly as the curtain flames beg to dance
stumble sit stand fuck off the worn wood ain’t as engrained as my roots in this trough
pigs feed as I worship at swine’s feet I’ll light the pulpit just to see the cross waver in the heat

Chorus
If you’re damn certain there’s enough angels above who aren’t washed up they better block the
gates with infernal love cause I’m heading there better call backup

Are you not entertained I’m not making it out why are you still listening six feet ain’t that far away I’d dig you up just to crawl in your grave
fresh out of the blood of christ so I’m soaked in the piss of Jack enough courage drenched skin so I can light that match
chorus
if you’re damn certain there’s enough angels above who aren’t washed up they better block the gates with infernal love cause I’m heading there
better call back up or down past the horizon of doubt I’m finding out they got my mugshot posted cause I get around

you know I get around I’ve conned lost but profound in every word I speak my tongue slices through the middle to make ends meet
why are you still around this temple’s coming down baptized in the fire of disbelieve impulsive
enough for clarity

Chorus
If you’re damn certain there’s enough angels above who aren’t washed up they better block the
gates with infernal love cause I’m heading there better call back up or down past the horizon of doubt I’m finding out they got my mugshot posted cause I get around

Introvert - First, Do No Harm (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2022-03-07 | The Rope Snapped
My shoulders collapsed,
Anxiety strikes like a heart attack,
The weight of the world crushing my back

I feel stuck,
Face down in a rut
Still trying to end it all,
Still fucking it up

I swear, this is it.
I’ve had enough, I fucking quit.

So take these feelings I’m choking on,
And put them back on the shelf.
How the fuck can I save a life
When I can’t even safe myself?

I’ve written four albums trying to make amends
When the truth is I only ever wanted to fit in.

How the fuck can I save a life
When I can’t do a damn thing right?

Exanimate - Wither (Official Stream Video)

Modern Empire Music 2022-03-07 | Rotting in place
Rotting away
With nothing left
Running in place
Running away
Holding on
To a thread of empathy
Running the tank
Running the tank
On empty

Tacit forms, excluding life
Disposable remonstrance
Atrophy resides
In the bones that withered away

Lay on wasted remissions
Cutting ties
With this body and mind

Sacrifices made burned and clear
Counting back all the hours
To take me far from here

To grasp, endure, proceed
Hostile eyes always watching

We love, we lose,
We put the living corpse to use

We pick, we choose
The beaten path in front of you

Rotting in place
Rotting away
With nothing left
Running in place
Running away
Holding on
To a thread of empathy
Running the tank
Running the tank
On empty

Lay on wasted remissions
Cutting ties
With this body and mind
Counting back all the hours
To take me far from here

Sacrifices made burned and clear
To grasp, endure, proceed
Hostile eyes always watching

Tacit forms, excluding life
Disposable remonstrance
Atrophy resides
In the bones that withered away

Smile On The Sinner - Emerald Hell (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2022-03-04 | Nihilist EP available now worldwide:
ffm.to/sotsnihilist
Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Andrew Wade

Bags under my eyes
From this round the clock stress that just leads
To dead dreams

Save me from this emerald hell

Every time this house breathes
I’m filled with anxiety
It’s only a matter of time ’til the lights go out

Poverty breeds misery

Why
Can’t I breathe
Lungs are caving from this panic inside
I’m
In too deep
They say I’m living, but I just want to close my eyes
Why
Can’t I breathe
Lungs are caving from this panic inside
I’m
In too deep
They say I’m living, but I just want to close my eyes

Can’t spare a dime to buy a wish from a well
Can’t stand the sound of desperation leaving my mouth
I can’t escape the cold, even if I fucking wanted to
‘Cause I can’t afford the fucking rope

Destitution
Fearing that this famine may never end
Destitution
Killed my innocence

Why
Can’t I breathe
Lungs are caving from this panic inside
I’m
In too deep
They say I’m living, but I just want to close my eyes
Why
Can’t I breathe
Lungs are caving from this panic inside
I’m
In too deep
They say I’m living, but I just want to close my eyes

Becoming numb, from being financially fucked
Is a complacency I never thought I’d reach
Heart racing, bones breaking
Bills are late, but I only got a $20 to my name
Don’t wake me, don’t me up
Just let me rot
‘Cause I’m shit out of luck
Don’t think I’ll make it to next week
So let me dream
‘Cause I’m only free when I’m asleep

I’m surrounded by death
I’m surrounded by death
It’s like the reapers got his hands
Wrapped around my neck

Destitution
Killed my innocence
This famine
Killed my innocence

Introvert - Gucci Body Bag (Official Lyric Video)

Modern Empire Music 2022-01-28 | Gucci Bodybags (Featuring Matthew Jones of Martyr Defiled, Alex Teyen of Black Tongue and John Matalone of VCTMS)

We are gathered here today
To put the past in a grave
To rip the heart from her chest
And watch her body decay

We adjourn here this evening
Drenched in deceit and treason
Just like everyone else
You’ll vanish without reason

Maybe it’s time I stop getting sad
And start getting even.

Crack the bones in your chest
You’re pleading, keep bleeding
Learning how to leave
remains your greatest teaching.
I can’t see a thing through the webs that you weave
And it’s you vs. the truth, I know what I’ll believe.

You said you always liked it with my hand around your throat
Let’s see how much you like it when you really fucking choke
Pull hard, yeah, suspend your body by the rope
cut you up and paint the walls
Like a modern-day Picasso.

Here’s a thought, maybe i’ll just fuck all your friends
Oh no, I won’t kill you, you’ll just wish you were dead
I’ll make sure you never have anyone ever again
I’ll be the voice in your ear singing “put the gun to your head.”

Yeah your life must be hard, taking everyone for granted
When every single thing you want you just get handed
Yeah life’s a fucking bitch when live by those standards
Yeah life’s a fucking bitch so that makes me the bastard.

So I’ll deal you a hand like the one that you dealt me
I’ll tear out your teeth and your eyes so you can’t see
Drive nails through your ears, shred your tongue so you can’t scream
Next time you wanna kill me, double tap and fucking bury me in concrete.

[Matt:]
Gritting teeth
So hard they’re almost splitting
I feel the grip of execution
Crawling beneath my skin

Sitting all alone in the dark
Waiting for the end to come

[Alex:]
Grinding my teeth as I’m pounding your flesh and the meat starts to split with a fresh wave of crying.
I’d love nothing more than to lick those sad little gems from your cheeks
As they trickle and mingle with sick.

[John:]
So you wanna know what years of dealing with shit alone feels like, huh?
Well, it’s kinda like a right hook to the chin
Or a white hot knife to the skin.
So you really wanna know, huh?
Well buckle up kid.

Drilled into my mind, make it seem that it’s all fine.
Berate myself, make me believe that it’s all fake (you lied)

I’m not the one you want, but you’re the one thing that I need.
I’m what fucks you up inside, from mental torment you can’t hide.

So smother me, eat me up or swallow me whole.
Cause suicidal thoughts are knocking better fucking pay the toll.

lyrics:

A snakes blood, runs so fucking cold
hidden in opinions, assault in silence

trust isn’t blind
you cut the strings that held you up 

you speak words with no weight 
empty promises
and you were never there for me 

empty

i know you wish you were dead
(you were dead)

you were dead 

now i’m watching you drown
as you sink alone 
mental games are for the weak
for the weak

now watch your mouth and how you’re speaking about me 

blood is blood 
and yours runs cold

it runs cold

better aim, scope on your head 
but i’d rather let karma kill you instead 

dead to me, bitch

once family
no fucking sympathy
now you’re not a part of me 

i know you wish you were dead
(you were dead)
i know you wish you were dead
(you were dead)

once family

Trapped in the strip of möbius
Grasping the strap of odious
Trapped in the strip of möbius
Grasping the strap of odious

Buried myself alive
Telling lies to myself
Just to make things go ease

Buried myself alive
So where did I end up after chaos

Buried myself alive
Telling lies to myself
Just to make things go ease
There is all in my head, there is all in my skin

The anchor falls
Sinking down to the abyss of misery
Dancing in a masquerade
Black or white, which side was to be right

Motionless (Motionless) Screaming out paranoid from the inside
Im tired of being what you want me to be
Neglected, Abuse
like a turd running down the sidewalk
Bouncing back, refused
Them motherfuckers try to ditch me for being myself

a place I belong
Without the mask that hid my emotions

Lost under the surface, being forced by the curses, falling in to the trap of prisoner’s dilemma

They see me as outsider after these fucking years

Buried myself alive
Telling lies to myself
Just to make things go ease

Buried myself alive
So where did I end up after chaos

Buried myself alive
Telling lies to myself
Just to make things go ease
There is all in my head, there is all in my skin

So look up the past we have made,
Truth or False, either way was the way of living
(Trapped in the strip of möbius)
(Grasping the strap of odious)

The only way for me to live, survive inside the other side of people that I ever knew
If that way existed, I would be rejected
“So I let them come inside”

Did I even had a chance
To dive into the ocean
Termination
The only light
Tie the noose choking my neck

Trapped in the strip of möbius
Grasping the strap of odious
Trapped in the strip of möbius
Grasping the strap of odious

Buried myself alive
Telling lies to myself
Just to make things go ease

Buried myself alive
So where did I end up after chaos

Buried myself alive
Telling lies to myself
Just to make things go ease
There is all in my head, there is all in my skin

Born Through Fire - Blood Fire Pain (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-11-26 | Listen Now: ingrv.es/blood-fire-pain-iak-2
Official Site: bornthroughfireofficial.com

Special thanks to Devin Attard on drums and Taylor Adsit for additional vocals!

“Blood • Fire • Pain” is inspired by someone I met while incarcerated. After hearing his story I couldn’t help but be moved by his positivity despite the fact that all he had known his entire life was hardship and suffering.

He had grown up in one of California’s toughest neighborhoods and fought to survive the gang life he was born into. When he was 15 he was ordered to commit an armed robbery. In that moment he had to decide if he was more scared of the police or older gang leaders who he’d have to answer to if he didn’t do it. Though he forever regrets his decision that day he was given an adult sentence back in an era when the prosecuting attorney (rather than judge or jury) decided that.

I met him around age 32 when he’d spent almost 2 decades in prison. He had endured level four prison yards, gang wars, isolation, riots, and countless lockdowns. Despite the struggles of his childhood followed by fighting to survive as an adult he believed there was hope.

This song is dedicated to people who feel their pain goes unseen or that they are forgotten and swept aside.

Lyrics:

I have witnessed all the hurt that you have endured
with no one in your life to validate you
but please don’t let their indifference
to the torment you have faced
become a source to teach hate

don’t let it break, don’t let it break, don’t let it break you
I see your strength even when all hope in this life is taken away
they’ll never take, they’ll never take, they’ll never take from you
the way your struggle has refined you everlastingly

it may seem that there’s only one way
‘cause all you’ve ever known…
is blood, fire, and pain
blood, fire, and pain
blood, fire, and pain

but there is so much more

I know you’re locked, I know you’re locked, I know you’re locked away
transformed in silence with no outlet to relieve your pain
I know the weight, I know the weight, I know what you carry
and the strength it takes just to stand on your two feet

there is more than what you’ve sustained
and there is strength that comes…
from blood, fire, and pain
blood, fire, and pain
blood, fire, and pain… pain
but there is so much more
than blood, fire, and pain

there is so much more
the trials of this life can bring us to the other side
revealing how broken our systems can be
highlighting how much we are in need of grace
we were never designed to live this way

blood, fire, and pain
blood, fire, and pain
blood, fire, and pain

Born Through Fire - Bone by Bone (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-11-12 | http://www.bornthroughfireofficial.com

Born Through Fire - Reintroduction (0:00 - 1:48) - Bone by Bone feat. Luke Holland (1:49 - 6:34)
Listen Now: ingrv.es/reintroduction-bone-by-ot2-f

Drums by Luke Holland
Mixed by Chris Collier

Reintroduction:
though i have lost everything
it was the only way
to finally face the miseries
of the monster I became
to fully fathom
the hurt i’d caused that day
forced to find the dying light
in a nearly soulless frame
though i have suffered
it is only from works of my own hand
and i have seen
only a portion of their pain
we rise, we fall, but both are powerful
we learn from our failures
we're lost guided by selfish pride
we rise, sights on a new path
and stand on stronger ground
with hope revived to rebuild again
a second chance

Bone By Bone:
it’s suffering that woke…
it’s suffering that woke my soul

surrounded by a bitter chill
too numb to see i’d grown ill
becoming attached to misery
beginning to lose pieces of me
’til one day i was frozen still
watching as my frostbitten skin fell
it hardened, then shattered, and decomposed
… nearly flat lined

through the pain that I faced
it was the suffering that woke my soul
through the pain that I faced
i had to be broken bone by bone

every part of me worth keeping
alive through the cold’s cleansing
found a way to withstand the freeze
to survive through the refining
and everything else faded away
into an endless snowing plain
like cutting off impurities
even though it makes me bleed
i wanted to die (live, die)
but You helped me

through the pain that I faced
it was the suffering that woke my soul
through the pain that I faced
i had to be broken bone by bone

You walked me through the misery
You broke my frame to wake my soul
You saw the hate destroying me
and found a way to bring me home
shed the scales of weakness covering me
it might leave me wounded
but i will finally be alive

through all the pain
through all I faced
through misery
destroying me

Downswing - Disgrace Reimagined (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-11-03 | Listen Now: ingrv.es/disgrace-twy-p

I was lost in a slumber
To please the dreams of another
But now I’m wide awake
The path that I take
Holds me in place as such a disgrace

though now I’m fine
Broke my binds from the dark side of the mind

I know the promise I made
Admits the ones that I break
So this time I’ll be listening

Mistakes I made
Follow me to this day
I feel the pressure to change my ways
But now I’m wide awake
The path that I take
Holds me in place
As such a disgrace

All this time you’ve been guessing
Was nothing short of a lesson
Cause when I’m on the bottom
You just take take take
Disgrace

Mistakes I made
Follow me to this day

Mistakes I made
Follow me to this day
I feel the pressure to change my ways
But now I’m wide awake
The path that I take
Holds me in place
As such a disgrace

Exanimate - The Blackened Landscape (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-10-18 | Despite the worldwide pandemic lockdown from COVID-19 and the restrictions that came with it, Exanimate have been working non-stop since they made the beautiful city of Seattle, WA their home in early 2020. After releasing their debut album Luminous in early 2021 with label Modern Empire Music, vocalist Alex Zapata and guitarist Alec Skyler Journey release their second official music video for the song The Blackened Landscape.

Dealing with the emotional lows of the COVID-19 lockdown, The Blackened Landscape visits the extremes of the dark physical and mental seclusion many people experienced and are still experiencing over the pandemic. The video depicts a man’s dark mental state taking on a physical form, pulling him deeper into psychosis and facing the demon of his own mental health.

LYRICS
Garnish the landscape by the hymn of chariot wheels
Bicentennial, dragging cadaver's by their heels

Decomposition of a dwindling light
Severance forth lords and retainers that would fight

The scorched earth, tuition to all your fear
Gamma rays condition to what is near

The charred remains of life and hidden history
Future excelled in blight of archeology
Inner machinations that turn the hands of guilty keys
Outer limitations that over step the leash

She said mercy is only reserved for the weak

She said mercy is only reserved for the weak
And you will find nothing here

The charred remains of life and hidden history
Future excelled in blight of archeology
Inner machinations that turn the hands of guilty keys
Outer limitations that over step the leash

The scorched earth, tuition to all your fear
She said mercy is only reserved for the weak
And you will find nothing here

Broken Youth - Suffering : Silence (Official Track Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-09-24 | It’s funny how things end up turning
It’s funny how things end up turning

All of my life I had a reason to fight
The way of the world, drags me underneath
Reaching out at the light, tearing at the seam
Now I’m everything you never expect me to be

Crawling against your skin
How does it makes you feel?
I bet it makes you sick
Crawling against your skin
Tearing at your insides

It’s nothing that you wanted to see
You wanna be just like me

You get in return the animus that you put out (Put out)
Living in your head I wanna see how you look now
(Look now)

It’s funny how things end up turning

Living breathing proof
When all the odds were against me
The “Damage” is done
The “Cycles” left me empty
It’s been a “blur”
Walked away so numb
Now I “suffer in silence”
It’s said and done

Now I “suffer in silence”
It’s said and done

Drag our name right through the mud
Inside it haunts you
Denied you wanted
All of us to fall

Drag our name right through the mud
Inside it haunts you
Denied you wanted
All of us to fall

Kill no mercy.
Leave you empty
I’ve arised
I’ve arised

Am I worthy?
Drain you slowly
I’ve arised
I’ve arised

(It’s nothing that you wanted to see)
You wanna be just like me

You get in return the animus that you put out (Put out)
Living in your head I wanna see how you look now
(Look now)
You get in return the animus that you put out (Put out)
Living in your head I wanna see how you look now
(Look now)

You tried to sleep on me
Never forget
It comes with a price
Nothing in this world is free bitch

Nothing in this world is fucking free
Nothing in this world is free

Broken Youth - Contain (Official Stream Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-09-24 | Never’ll end up this way
You won’t contain

You almost made me forget who I was,
Who I am, & where I came from
Not a single thing you can do
That’s killing me mentally, killing me physically, killing my energy so let it bang

I’ve waited long for this
You won’t make me forget
Who the fuck I am and where the fuck I came from

Not losing my own grip,
You won’t make me forget
Who the fuck I am and where the fuck I came from

It took a minute just to figure me out
Look at me now
I’m the motherfucking centerpiece now
So cut it out
I’m just getting so nauseous of nonsense
Fucking with the kid, it’ll cost you, you’ve lost it

Not losing my own grip
You won’t make me forget, who I am

You almost made me forget who I was,
Who I am, & where I came from
Not a single thing you can do
That’s killing me mentally, killing me physically, killing my energy so let it bang
So let it bang

I won’t let your shit phase me
I won’t forget what made me
Never again
Never will end up this way
You won’t contain

Not losing my own grip
You won’t make me forget
Not losing my own grip
You won’t make me forget who I am

Broken Youth - Absence (Slow Burn) (Official Stream Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-09-24 | My hearts fallen to the floor
Lost and fading
My body’s sore
Harsh degrading

What’s been killing me, its been killing you to know you’re wrong

Your voice crawls in the night
Disguising the light
Haunting and draining me of everything in my life
Where do we go from here?

Blood is as thick as it gets
One thing I’ll never forget
Do what you gotta do
Never would follow you
Never would go with that trend
A father that’s leaving his kid
Never you held up your end
Honestly that never bothered me
I’m not out here to look out for apologies

Your voice crawls in the night
Disguising the light
Haunting and draining me of everything in my life
Where do we go from here?
There’s no resolution
Never seek conclusions
It’s slowly haunting me
It’s slowly draining me
It’s killing me killing me

I’m the man I’m suppose to be without you
I’ve grown up to be okay without you
Without you

Your voice crawls in the night
Disguising the light
Haunting and draining me of everything in my life
Where do we go from here?
There’s no resolution
Never seek conclusions
It’s slowly haunting me
It’s slowly draining me
It’s killing me killing me

I’m the man I’m suppose to be without you

Dead Crown - No Remorse (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-09-24 | Follow: ffm.to/deadcrown

NO REMORSE

Try to forget all that we’ve been through
Somehow my mind always comes back to you
Fuck it

No remorse
For the broken
When I needed put together
Not a single word was spoken

No remorse
For the hopeless
While you’re standing still
Im lost in constant motion

Ice cold I feel nothing
No empathy no sympathy
My agony is what fuels me today
Enjoy the view from 6 feet
While I’m pissin on your grave
There’s not a thing about you that ill miss
Bitch

Built from my pain
Bitch we are not the same

Do us all a favor
Put that bullet through your brain

You don’t know fury
You don’t know what I do
You don’t see clearly
You refuse to see the truth
And Once all is gone
And things come to an end
Your fake friends won’t miss you
They’ll be glad your fuckin dead

Yeah that’s right
Bitch I fuckin said it
Blow these words through your skull
So you never forget it
And Next time you want some clout and someone’s life to end
Take a look in the mirror
And end yourself instead

What the fuck
No more missing
Ill take a hit
And put the mark on all of you
You want a piece
Mother fucker slide through
The fuck you wanna do?

No peace in mind for a broke bitch
Typin shit on a screen
You don’t get
Skull fragments on the wall
I don’t give a shit
This is your fuckin mess
Now fuckin sleep in it

ffm.to/brokenyouth

No room to evade
The avenue is up in flames
Is his the end?
Who can save us?

The fear in our faces
All hope’s left the room
Locked away in our cages
Our minds consumed

Burn

Burn it all to the pavement
This world’s got its foot on our necks
Who can save us?

Burn

Burn it all to the pavement
This world’s got its foot on our necks
Who can save us?

We’re gonna wallow in shame and dance with
the flames
(I feel so sick and hopeless)
Confined in a cage we’re living in vein
(Trapped in a cage we’re living in vein)

Our minds infected, let alone a disease.
Consumed with what’s around us
We’ll never be free

Our minds infected, let alone a disease.
Consumed with what’s around us
We’ll never be free

We’re gonna wallow in shame and dance with
the flames
(I feel so sick and hopeless)
Confined in a cage we’re living in vein
(Trapped in a cage we’re living in vein)
Dressed with disdain
I feel the pain
(Dressed with disdain I feel the pain)
Confined in a cage
We’re living in vein
(Trapped in a cage we’re living in vein)

Brainwashing our minds
They flood them with lies
We hide from this sickness
Stay buried inside
The less that you know
The more that they’ll gain
The palm of their hands
Forever you’ll lay

God can’t save us
God can’t save us

The less that you know
The more that they’ll gain
The palm of their hands
Forever you’ll lay

We’re gonna wallow in shame and dance with
the flames

Dance with the flames

Confined in a cage we’re living in vein
(Trapped in a cage we’re living in vein)
Dressed with disdain
I feel the pain
(Dressed with disdain I feel the pain)
Confined in a cage

You fucking parasite

Blood stained hands
How could you live with the guilt
Dig the blade from the backs
Of those who trusted you
You’re not a martyr, just a false god
Self proclaimed
On a throne that was never even yours to take

No repentance
No remorse
You slimy bastard
You get what you deserve

You get what you fucking deserve

Narcissist
Fall to your knees
Can’t save yourself
Pierced our back and watched us bleed
Narcissist
He screams please forgive me
I’ll cut the ties and watch you sink

Why can’t you look me in the eye
As you drag my name
Hang your head down low
Live your life in shame
Tell everyone you’re the victim
As if your sins are justified
Living in delusion
‘Cause you know there’s nowhere you can hide

Blood sucking leach
Lie until your last breath slips through your teeth
Blood sucking leech
(Now we know)
You can’t reason with toxicity

Save your sorries
We don’t want to hear
Your apologies
So save your sorries
No pity
For a fucking bitch

No repentance
No remorse
You get what you fucking deserve

Narcissist
Fall to your knees
Can’t save yourself
Pierced our back and watched us bleed
Narcissist
He screams please forgive me
I’ll cut the ties and watch you sink

Narcissist
Fall to your knees
Can’t save yourself
Pierced our back and watched us bleed
Narcissist
He screams please forgive me
I’ll cut the ties and watch you sink

Would have given anything
But you’ve forsaken me
Could have been your saving grace
But now
I am your reckoning

He screams please forgive me
He screams please forgive me

We never needed you anyway.

Shapeshifter

Made a mark on my conscious
For the thousandth time
I’m through with the ignorant spouting lies

If you disrespect me or act condescending
You’ve sealed your fate
You better know your place know your place
Change your shape

Am I to blind searching cuz I can’t find happiness
Two Face Shapeshifter
Am I to blind force fed all these fake lies you have spread
Two Face Shapeshifter

You’ll never know quite what you’re looking for
It goes to show you don’t care anymore
Now I’m fine without you
Despite what we’ve been through
Fuck fake friends pretend
That this is how it ends

Can’t escape reality
You’ll never find any relief
Nothing good comes easy

Am I to blind cuz I can’t find happiness
Now I’m done give it up

Prompts - Asphyxiate feat. Ryo Kinoshita (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-07-23 | Prompts - Asphyxiate feat. Ryo Kinoshita

The Leash around our neck is what makes us asphyxiate

Broken Bones Blinded Eyes
Everyone is looking at our fingertips

Broken Bones Blinded Eyes
Count up the bodies that have fallen from your fingertips

There's no such utopia in this madness

Tell me how you do it, it's a matter of conscience, you don't seize
Monopolize, con-suming everything for yourself
You don't realize you're just a counterfeit
Don't try to mesmerize me
I can only taste the bitter(ness)

You see the system
Only through the screen of prism
The way you seem to be locked in prison
Is why you can never be in position

Pray for the plague yuh
Pray for the 부식된 패자의 밤
Covering your eye with them over the clouds
Distorted reality, Your feeling so proud

The fear left inside
The scars you have made
(Are crawling up to the neck)

The water rise up
Drag me down to deep
My eyes ears all shut
Constricting my breath

You're fucking nothing
So don't you fucking threaten me

Shattered

The pieces on the ground
(Just look at the damage)
The hope in to banish

Wake up
Sleep one eye open
The fear left inside
The scars you have made
Are crawling up to the neck

Sleeping in silence, the death approach with violence

There is no option you choose between the path
We will asphyxiate no matter what we choose

The end we are going to, is the faith that we have chose
The polarization is what we have lead

No

Tortured, we suffocate / choke ourselves
Keep the stance we'll decay
Corrupting down asphyxiate

Fox Lake - Born 2 Lose (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-06-25 | Pre Save Lady Luck EP: ffm.to/ladyluckfl

You’re in a headlock
In the arms of the brother
Got the rope tied tight by the hands of the mother
Mouth shut by the lips of the sister
Father breaks your knees and calls you a quitter

They say nothing wrong
And we believe them

I’m nobody special and to be honest neither are you
You’re a cog in the machine that fuels wars and greed
Built off the backs of those really in need
So what more does the man got to offer?
Schools fall apart while the wealth gap gets larger
And their feet sink deeper into un-moveable alters
As they change the law with their lawyers and we call them our employers

Can’t put no muzzle on me
Eat the rich

Exploited labor
Love thy neighbor
Dollar sign
Bottom line
Bottom feeder
Give to Caesar
Mass produced for mass profit
Dirty hands with deeper pockets
We were born to lose
The system hates you

Imperium AD - Plagued (Official Audio Stream)

Modern Empire Music 2021-06-11 | Relentless
Plague befalls him
To ashes
To your knees crawl
A subject
Of his vitriol
Would a just God hear his objections?
The accuser, cast out of heaven proclaimed
Could he endure your wrath?
Strip him of everything

Plagued, but I still remain
I have prayed for an end, death has denied me
Shoulder the blame
How could I curse the name, father that guides me

Scorned
Pestilence
My body riddled with lesions
I am beset by the wrath poured from on high
I am denied cause
Naked in my infancy
Unworthy of reply
The accuser
Are we not one in the same?
For the sake of a bet
strip him of everything

Have my works shown you nothing?
Burn them down, would I curse you to your face?

He answers:
I am beyond question,
Beyond reason
Owe you nothing

Downswing - Stressed Out (Official Music Video)

Modern Empire Music 2021-05-14 | Listen Now: ffm.to/downswing

I’m spinning out of control
Worn out no hope
How low can I go
How far can I fall

I just want some peace of mind to keep my head from spinning
So tell me why I feel this way

Stressed out let down I pray for endless sleep
Face down lights out my search for empathy
Stressed out let down my darkest thoughts hidden deep
Face down lights out they’re buried by anxiety
Fuck it

Still spinning out of control
Try hard to cope
I can’t get a grip
Feels like I’m losing it

Stressed out let down I pray for endless sleep
Face down lights out my search for empathy
Stressed out let down my darkest thoughts hidden deep
Face down lights out they’re buried by anxiety

I’ve been having problems
I’ve been losing sleep
Happiness and reassurance were never mine to keep

I’ve been stressing
Overthinking
Face down, lights out, let down
What’s the point in living life this way

The lights are out cuz nobody’s home
Face down cuz I’m spinning out of control
So they say that life is a test
I’d rather be put to rest
