about

In the fall of 2009, founders John P. and Matt Z. were sold fake tickets to a Metallica concert. Ironically inspired, the ... more duo decided to start a band of their own. A time of searching bore fruit in finding the talented and like-minded Jack Hope and Ben Souder. Following the release of their mind-blowing demo, the group began their relentless round through the New York City club circuit. less

Black Windows
Lyrics and Music by John Polimeni

<Instrumental Intro>

Verse 1:
Through dream filled streets
I ride on delusions
that all will be good
in our eyes.

Chorus 1:
What I have I done to earn
this room in hell?
Who can conceive such ends-
no iota of rest.

Verse 2:
WIll all will be good
In our eyes?

Chorus 2:
I reach out to embrace
my pillar of hope.
My hands are worthless to grasp
the sands of time.

<Instrumental Interlude>

Verse 3:
Lingering before me,
Regrets of my true life,
Power to chase and take,
Is now sent back to Him.

Chorus 3:
What have I done to earn
this room in hell?
Who can conceive such ends-
no iota of rest.
An eternal dreamless sleep
is my one true wish.
An existence this dire-
a curse on man.

<Outro>

More Than You Knew
Music by John Polimeni and Joseph Anthony Bellantuono
Lyrics by John Polimeni

Verse 1:
Innocently never knowing infantile,
Masterpiece coincidence the heavens arise,
Lobbyers and gamblers judging our own fate.

Higher powers ever watching providence,
Miniscule tyrannical a factioned race,
Gifted children righteous nation effecting their own strife.

Chorus 1:
Oppressing the ancient man,
Deceiving the serpentine.

Verse 2:
Jesus Christ a mortal god the wisest fool,
Can a man speak haunting words and beguile the lambs,
If you've ears and will not hear may your soul grow proud.

Conspirators the minions of a greater lie,
Gorging on a knowledge from a useless lore,
Turning back and thinking twice a serpent shall implore.

Absolute the divine words will scarcely stay,
Seven years a tempest bold futurity,
Pitying his time has come a long lost battle dies!

Chorus 2:
Oppressing the ancient man,
Deceiving the serpentine.

Virtuous Deity
Music by John Polimeni and Joseph Anthony Bellantuono
Lyrics by John Polimeni

Verse 1:
I want to delight
In the splendor above,
Dine with seraphim
In decadence.

Plodding lurching specter
Of time subservient to none,
A judgement looming over us
The twilight of a pompous race.

Chorus 1:
I want to believe.
I want to believe.
I want to believe.
I want to believe!

Verse 2:
Cursed, dying souls
To and from their vile abodes,
Their mouths a venom of snakes
Respite for their miseries.

Chasing after wind
The unclean scraps we acquire,
Our greater lives we are
Wrapped around a bloody plow.

The promise of a birth of life
In a man a Deity,
Words wrought in a blast
May their mark hold true!

Chorus 2:
I want to believe.
I want to believe.
I want to believe.
I want to believe!

Human is Forever
Music by John Polimeni
Lyrics, vocals by Ayan Nandi

The ears to hear and the eyes to see.
To touch, to marr, and to believe
Who cast a shadow his spirit upon me.
Human is Forever.

Who wept and wept in recollect.
Grimaced upon us and caught is breath.
Cast down upon in fiery contempt.
Human is Forever.

Breath by breath we evil beget.
Breath by breath we evil beget.
Quivering to our dying breaths.
Human is Eternal.

The prominent and grander still
shall shiver as the poorest swill.
Beauty innocence and murder lie.
All seeds wash away in time.
