about

The 2nd part of this tale inspired by the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. This part focuses on pursuit and deception, as is the case with Roland and his encounters with the Man in Black while on his quest towards The Dark Tower. The layered synths and acoustics from part 1 recede towards the back and make way for heavy nimble riffs, galloping beats, monstrous bass, and soaring vocals to tell this part of the tale. Individual track art by Jaems Murphy.

lyrics

II. Arriving

Run!
Ambition has flooded your eyes
Run!
and cleared out the hatred and lies
defeat is a claw at your back
under your feet
pound the sand of the past
"Son! Your mother is waiting for you"
said the man
with the blade
and the black 22
don't listen don't listen don't
let him fill you
hear the truth
the tower hides
behind the fell
I'm bound to run
by speed by spell
better this present
than yesterday's hell
we walk on the backs of the dead
floating in time like the logs on a river
sun sinking slow
like a low slab of flame
tower eclipsing
all but your name
shadows embracing
my shaking frame
ready the blade
the tower hides
behind the fell
I'm bound to run
by speed by spell
better this present
than yesterday's hell
lies heaved from
the lungs of the
taunting fool
poured in your ears
from a murky cesspool
don't listen don't listen don't
let him fill you
Run!
onward!
forward!
sheet of flame
say my name
I'm running to bond with the others
the host of the chosen
the sisters and brothers
bearing tall where we stand
the child is wearing
the horns of a man
behind you the poisonous lies
before you the gleam of the keep
the sunset is filling your eyes
with the path of promise you see
onward!
forward!
sheet of flame
say my name
the tower hides
behind the fell
I'm bound to run
by speed by spell
better this present
than yesterday's hell
