I'm pleased to announce that "With This Life" (The Seventh Necronation) will be included on the Music for the Rising Sun compilation, Part III, due to be released June 3, 2011.

"At its heart, Music for the Rising Sun is an international community effort. Musicians from around the globe have donated time, passion, and inspiration for the benefit of Japan. It is our sincere desire that our music will inspire others to give to those in need. We also wish for the people of Japan to feel our compassion and support during this unimaginable trial."

"Choke" lyrics

When words run dry
And dreams, they cease
With little to say,
How can I speak?
And even my shadow,
It fails to haunt me
Minutes feel like hours,
Hours, days I'll never see
And so I hang high
By my halo, choking
On a moment in time
Must be it's killing me

(Chorus)
So overcome by this
A glorious way to go-
To choke

Teasingly vague,
I flaunt the essence of me
All pretty in pain,
Fate's poet emissary
And the girl lacking reason,
The one you don't see,
Of shame, lust, despise,
Of innocence lost, she resides
In this hollow frame
Of what may never be
Bitter side of restless mind
I'm disturbed, absurd you see

(Chorus)

"The Game" - Final Lyrics

So "The Game" (T7N) is finished for the most part, and is awaiting the final mix/demo master. Here are the lyrics as they stand- the track will be finished and posted online soon enough.

"Stay
And play
This game,"
You say,
Or may as well have.
"Pray
And obey
None but me.
You'll see.
Just follow blindly."

(Chorus)
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I've learned my lesson well
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I won't buy the fate you sell
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I'll condemn myself to hell

Take
Away
The dismay,
Decay
Of those you've preyed upon.
"Don't stray,
It's okay.
You'll see
Divinity.
He stands before you."

(Chorus)

"The Game" lyrics

"Stay
And play
This game,"
You say,
Or may as well have.
"Pray
And obey
None but me.
You'll see."
Just follow blindly..

(Chorus)
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I've learned my lesson well
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I won't buy the fate you sell
One-track mentality
One skewed reality
One more fatality
I'll condemn myself to hell

Take
Away
The dismay,
Decay
Of those you've preyed upon.
"Don't stray,
It's okay.
You'll see
Divinity.
He stands before you."

(Chorus)

"Otherworld" lyrics

Dreams flow as oceans
Awaken my freedom
A daring song for the silent
Dead visionary lives again
Like a child discovering darkness
Curious and demure, I take you in

(Chorus)
And I dance as the hunter
I feed the hunger
In this sweet sleep otherworld

Don't crucify me
For my revelation
Bittersweet taste for
Physicality
It's now or never
Wish I could dream forever

(Chorus)

"Entice the Dreamer" lyrics

I stand on distant sand
Living inside a moment
Where flesh meets eternity,
Slipping free
Silence creeping in
Like dawning rays on the horizon
What peace there is, it withers
When heaven's falling through

(Chorus)
I cannot help with all my being
Cannot help that what I'm seeing is you
And lyrics flow as madness grows
Desire, it lingers upon my lips for you
And time, it dances
Far beyond me, and far beyond you
It's just another story that begins
With a heart beating wild

At ease in all my decadence
Staring down the ghost of never
The beast that drives me on
To all, to nothing, to whatever
And I'm bound by your words
When I hear that subtle whisper
Obscure, suggestive melody
Entice the dreamer in me

(Chorus)

"Poet's Dance" lyrics

Sick of the disrepute
Hell, sick is an understatement
What's the limit I must defy
When you place your world upon me?
Ignore it, abhor it, label me a freak,
The bane of your existence
Show me your truth, I'll show you a lie-
The fabulist you choose to be

(Chorus)
Tell me I have no soul
Tell me I have no life
But justified I am in my ways
Tell me I have no soul
Tell me I have no life
When blood runs cold,
I'm not the one who lies

Lost in rhyme and subliminal values
Crafted with ardent artistry
Paint the pain of love and apprehension,
Twisting fate with every line
No escape in this dream, this calling,
This arcane trance of mine
Thought sinking deeper, midnight creeper
A poet's dance with time

(Chorus)

"The Hollow" lyrics

Denial
Man without a face
Painting the mask
Social display
The Hollow
Born again today
Nothing to lose
But one to betray

(Chorus)
Growing closer to
My opposition
The worst affliction
Burning my wings
Will he give me
A reason to
Give up my freedom
Like you
Succumb to his
Domination, a
Feeble attempt to see
Beyond the mundane

He lies dormant
Shell of yesterday
So still
Now feels so far away
And my life
My mind decayed
Throw it away
Just one more time

(Chorus)
