Derek Witt This was one of my most anticipated albums of 2021, and you guys did an amazing job. As a fan of these guys since the first demo, I was always anticipating hearing more and more. Now finally the debut album is here and I cannot stop listening. Favorite track: Reaper's Disease.

Hard Knocks 03:00
If you're looking for trouble Troubles gonna find you There you go and try to struggle That’s what the confusion does to you When everything’s drained down And you can’t get a hold of yourself And when you thought the evil was dead It grows another head Everyday hoping the best Fearing the worst Sinking fool so hopelessly lost What are you waiting for? What are you fighting for? What are you living for now? Do you have a dream Do you even know how to get there somehow? Hard Knocks, of life... Stop wasting your time in their lies Believing them is all you do Tired of being in same shit? You're the one who did it There’s a whole world That you forgot Just try to look Outside of your box Nothing left to lose Played your blues But you still gotta do What you gotta do Times flashing by Right before your eyes Nothing remains And you want to cry Am I worth nothing Or am I worth something You got to do something Everyday hoping the best Fearing the worst Sinking fool so hopelessly lost What are you waiting for? What are you fighting for? What are you living for now? Do you have a dream Do you even know how to get there somehow? Hard Knocks, of life...

Drowned, poor and innocent Washed up from the sea Forgotten screams And lost hopes of tomorrow Revealing harsh reality Caged slaves Who can't even kill themselves Are producing us technology Keep on consuming And never stop working TV tells you how to be Obeyed Ignorance For the sake of our selves Eyes on the price always keep the smile Life fucks you up and then you die Obeyed Ignorance Makes us stumble and crawl And it’s the only reason why it’s so hard to Live in this world Someone will never have a Chance to go to school All their lives they only Dreamed to be like you Dive in a pool of human waste And face, all we've left behind Keep on consuming And never stop working Cause you'll never be happy enough Try find something more nice to think When everything around Is about to sink in shit Obeyed Ignorance For the sake of our selves Eyes on the price always keep the smile Life fucks you up and then you die Obeyed Ignorance Makes us stumble and crawl And it’s the only reason why it’s so hard to Live in this world

Toxic Demise 04:17
Another young life Killed itself For the lust of drugs and debt Choices of life Lead to death Soul’s slipping away on every breath Darkside took its toll It blows in human flesh Another weak mind Controlled by Drugs, money and sex Wasted life Bound to the crime Now your chances are gone Cause you never took advice Delusioned society Where someone’s started to sink in Toxic Demise Now it’s time to die It’s taking your life Toxic Demise Now it’s time to die It’s taking your life Poor basis from the start Defined your social life Gather around with the people you fear Not getting stomped anymore I have seen your shit And I know it’s toxic Cause I got one little tip for you Before they do what they do Wasted life Bound to the crime Now your chances are gone Cause you never took advice Delusioned society Where someone’s started to sink in Toxic Demise Now it’s time to die It’s taking your life Toxic Demise Now it’s time to die It’s taking your life

The only god Is blood Life's like a living flood And it’s loyal as a dog To those who find the truth And that river flows beyond Like a grim whisper Which comes from the ground And let it slither into your soul Truth Is sometimes Too much to carry And if you’re afraid Of what’s coming It’s like a deadly calling From the kingdom come But they might not know That I ain’t the one Life, set into fire Fight, to become a liar To self, and create a hell That you can’t escape Cause you’re itself Pay the price Of the fool you chose And crawl till the end Till your days are done Reapers Disease Reapers Disease Life, set into fire Fight, to become a liar To self, and create a hell That you can’t escape Cause you’re itself Blizzard of the world Has crossed the threshold Of wisdom of a man And it has turned into... Reapers Disease Reapers Disease Don’t tell me How to live my life This way to here Was the only to try The only god Is blood Life's like a living flood And it’s loyal as a dog To those who find the truth And that river flows beyond Like a grim whisper Which comes from the ground And let it slither into your soul Truth Is sometimes Too much to carry And if you’re afraid Of what’s coming It’s like a deadly calling From the kingdom come But they might not know That I ain’t the one Reapers Disease

Ethics extinction Is crippling the world Down to its knees Show the way To the blind and the weak In a time where we can’t see Subliminal propaganda Selling you thoughts That you don't need Money rules everything In a superficial game Made to lose our ways Profound misery In a war where we can't win All hope is gone, from tomorrow This hell is closing in Distorted Dreams Where nothing can save us Not even your gods Distorted Dreams Nothing can save us all You’re gone They have money for war But still they rob the poor There's no side That could save you But there’s only life That can be taken away Don’t do as they say Or you’ll lay your soul Down to... Waste! They have money for war But still they rob the poor There's no side That could save you But there’s only life That can be taken away Don’t do as they say Or you’ll lay your soul Down to... Waste!

Through the silver eyes Of the dead The image will be etched To your head Of the victim That lost its face The streets were Covered with blood When their brothers screamed For help to come Damn I panicked I wasn't the only one Fools as tools Heads filled with fear Fighting a war But could I ever win? Cycle Of Pain Runs over again Spinning it with a cruel smile As oppressed dies Eye for an eye And the whole world goes blind Anger in their eyes Is where the world lies Undescribable Screams of pain As blood runs down To sewers Trapped inside In the moment of silence As somewhere Calls the sirens Their crew paid back Men in black Both got stabbed Doomed to a hell of a revenge Hate that dies in a body bag Just like there wasn't any easier way out? Cycle Of Pain Runs over again Spinning it with a cruel smile As oppressed dies Eye for an eye And the whole world goes blind Anger in their eyes Is where the world lies Eyes roll white, Then blood comes out From the mouth Death rattle shaking Shaking all over End of everything's Behind the corner Look how colors mix With your blood Anguished utterance From the guts of yours Last fucking chance

World seems so cold But it was always like that And the change you needed Was in yourself I tried to help you But I don't know what to do Cause sometimes I can't even help myself It was just a matter of time To open my mind Another friend’s dead Is this my turning point of life? Funeral Bells Are ringing in the back of my head Reminding me of something Worth to live till another day I'm just trying to get by As I grab from the Corner of a life And to make my best With all my remaining time No one knows tomorrow And what it brings As many might know That life is a bitch It was just a matter of time To open my mind Another friend’s dead Is this my turning point of life? Funeral Bells Are ringing in the back of my head Reminding me of something Worth to live till another day Worth to live till another day Worth to live till another day

Opinions about others aggravated When the grip of life Is losing Balancing with own life's scarcity Chips away the idea of equality Weight of the world Is massively destructive When there's too much trouble Don’t ask me, there are no dreams Cause I need nothing except the peace Hourglass shows time moving through But you can’t move There’s too many mistakes in the past It’s time to figure it out at last Underneath the society Where no one hears your scream Curled up to own non-existence Until hate begins to breathe I, I just don’t know why But it makes me want to die On the Verge of Decay Everything stays the same Capabilities of initiative Slowly fades away Tired of nothing Hard existence of being Exudes over pain Old hell Is better than new heaven So hard to get help Glassy eyes and the twisted mind In a broken shell Hourglass shows time moving through But you can’t move There’s too many mistakes in the past It’s time to figure it out at last Underneath the society Where no one hears your scream Curled up to own non-existence Until hate begins to breathe I, I just don’t know why But it makes me want to die On the Verge of Decay Everything stays the same Fools are fighting Who's the king of the hill Always waring, They are testing your will What am i seeing? California dreaming Believing that dream Cause you’re sleeping And you have to Wake up to see Who’s fooling who? Underneath the society Where no one hears your scream Curled up to own non-existence Until hate begins to breathe I, I just don’t know why But it makes me want to die On the Verge of Decay Everything stays the same

Dark Haze 04:14
I’m living this damned life In a dark cloud It's veiling everything I used to love The days go by like It was a dream I guess it's time to wake up So it seems This day is just like yesterday It's all the same Just a blurred vision for me I, I cannot run I cannot hide I think I'm about to Loose myself again Life was a game That we used to play But now everything's sinking In a Dark Haze Everything's sinking In a Dark Haze Same shit everyday Everyday's the same Dealing with this shit It will never change Look me in my eyes And what do you see? I’m trying to be the guy Who I wanted to be Stuck for life In this Dark Haze Stuck for life In this Dark Haze I'm still searching for the light Way to live inside my mind Help me I am going blind And I think I’ll loose my fucking mind I’m living this damned life In a dark cloud It's veiling everything I used to love The days go by like It was a dream I guess it's time to wake up So it seems This day is just like yesterday It's all the same Just a blurred vision for me I, I cannot run I cannot hide I think I'm about to Loose myself again Life was a game That we used to play But now everything's sinking In a Dark Haze Everything's sinking In a Dark Haze Everything's sinking In a Dark Haze
