CADAVER CLUTCH Lyrics by Jack Hope (of Proxima Control) On this blackest eve the web we weave it denotes doom The false hope you seek and though you weep escapes your fate Clutch your vicious arms bitches with charms seek your side With knives and guns; erratic aliens will claim your life By my hands you'll taste the glass again Empty gaze; it's what I seek tonight Scream and beg for your meek life to end for eternity But I can wait; make you think you've escaped your death sentence Stripped of your sight no light can escape my right of revenge Clutch your heart it's all you have so start to say goodbye By my hands you'll taste the glass again Empty gaze; it's what I seek tonight Abadon-The onyx wyvern hunts for you Trapped in the vilest ways The lies are yours to tell not mine At last validity revealed Imminent subsequent ultimate death! Stillborn! Your animus lies Anatomy cries Now you can't see Anyone but me Constricted my fear The end verges near Now you can't see Anyone but me Love can't find you here so don't you fear my cold embrace Devoid of closure from the overexposure of the real Clutch your sides it's a hell of a ride to the end Forfeit your soul undying By my hands you'll taste the glass again Empty gaze; it's what I seek tonight Abadon-The onyx wyvern hunts for you Trapped in the vilest ways The lies are yours to tell not mine At last validity revealed Imminent subsequent ultimate death! Stillborn! Your animus lies Anatomy cries Now you can't see Anyone but me Constricted my fear The end verges near Now you can't see Anyone but me

BLACKEST WINDOWS Lyrics by Jack Hope (of Proxima Control) Come drown in me without your safety Blood from my fowl; can you hear me howl? Curb your filthy lies before you fucking die Stuff your God damn face with the rest of the human race Glass befalls your eyes; crooked smile beguiles Your hourglass of shame has fallen far from fame Irresistibly escaping reality I'll meet you in my slumber 6 feet fucking under From my blackest window I believe the world is mine Lingering on my own cloud I'll burn until I'm as high As the sun I can't remember why I'm here In this dark black god forsaken hell What have I done to earn this stay In the fire and brimstone where I fell So deep you see; no regret left in me It's been this way from the start ‘cause my soul's been torn apart The way I've lived since then has been through your contempt I’ve been taught to live my life along the lines of strife Delusion fills my brain; created the beast I became No pressure on your soul cause I'll show you where to go From my blackest window I believe the world is mine Judgment has been clouded and yet I search to right my crime Scream my name a little louder; You'll come with me this time To the moon I can't remember why I'm here In this dark black god forsaken hell What have I done to earn this stay In the fire and brimstone where I fell Give me sleep or give me death Cause I've already been judged for my deed Dreamless bliss is all I ask It's all I've ever known and it's all I'll ever need

DEN OF FREAKS Lyrics by Jack Hope (of Proxima Control) Straight up lay down on your straps Where I'm from you'll never want to go back From the smack I lay on your sides Or the deafening crash of the skin tides The mammoth can crash this party now Cause we won't stop when why or how I'll drag you to the windows and walls And hear you scream the violent call Get on the damn bar and crank up the sound! This is the ballad of the bound! In this den of freaks I will submit To the worst of sins I will commit We will laugh and drink all the blood Send those bodies back below (3X) Back to the flood These scars they're all that we have And the Green Queen she'll drive you mad Don't feel sad-Just take another drag Before I pin you down face first you're found Shameless shame and fameless fame Don't you know that no one knows your name Stand by riding high your place at my side Tonight we'll decide whether you go or you die Get on the damn bar and crank up the sound! This is the ballad of the bound! In this den of freaks I will submit To the worst of sins I will commit We will laugh and drink all the blood Send those bodies back below (3X) Back to the flood (Break) In this den of freaks I will submit To the worst of sins I will commit We will laugh and drink all the blood Send those bodies back below (3X) Back to the flood

Vapor Trails 05:06
VAPOR TRAILS Lyrics by Jack Hope Derivation Plug to guise Husk hits dirt Life to grime Violent start Conscious black Reaper staring Lifeless crack Abyss has come For you my son Cipher this lifeline Till it's left for none and no one From above chemicals trip the scene Inflicting disease from the clouds to the sea Push to shove your ignorance blissfully Erupts from your teeth bringing forth hate from me Cursed canine and jokers by your side Frothing to lie ‘cause you can't run and hide Busted wings; surrounded by broken things Eradicating the remains of her false God-King Signs of the damned stretch across your face Rivers of salt in your crevices Haunted by my vapor trails I'm trapped inside a cruise that can't sail We're anchored down regretfully So I can't save you so let me be Wandering thoughts fade to obscure lies As wandering eyes turn to unkempt sides We creep and claw ignoring our link ‘Cause we'd all rather die before we bleed down the sink (X4) Break through hate and deceit! I will not preach this oath of fools On top of your burning heap of soil We all reap what we sow So before you go Embrace your curse or shuffle off this mortal coil

DRAGON'S BREATH Lyrics by Jack Hope Born within the flame You'll feel the pain Painless shadow remains You'll scream my name Burning up the sky Soaring ever high Soul-less hide I am the wyvern alive! I'll never die! I can't wait to scrape your skin (You'll never live to see the day) You can't help but let me in (You'll never live to see the day) Free from fear and free from sin (You'll never live to see the day) All will hail leviathan (You'll never live to see the day) Crimson life escapes your neck Eradicating Zion's sect You can't outrun fate or death All will fall from dragon's breath (You'll never live to see the day!) Born within the flame You'll feel the pain Painless shadow remains You'll scream my name

Hangman 05:47
HANGMAN Lyrics by Jack Hope Heed these words of mine down from the sand Watch the shifty eyes of the people from this land Better watch your hands A nobody like me wouldn’t lie to you Cut and sever my face so far from faith To see it through Cause I still need you to know Just how far down this path you should go So don't fear me now But you can hate me then They tried to leave me with nothing but my name They don’t know Sun of Bull won't play those games If they only knew oh just what I have seen My hearts charged from the pain you caused So I separate their ways from me Violence stung me Hate becomes me Feel my swift divine Your sweet neck is mine (C-c-Now!) ‘Cause you're the bitch that had to cross me (Now!) Satisfy your urge or morbid curiosity (Now!) Tie another knot in your line (C-c-now!) Before I get the urge to commit another crime of pain Chains on my brain are rusted; I've lost my mind Somewhere along the way I've lost my sight of hind Third eye is plastered shut with corrosive smile What is a man but secrets stolen from the pile of me Riding home alone Terrified! Feel my swift divine Your sweet neck is mine! (X2) You're so fucking predictable; it's criminal how black your soles become Under the sun, under the sheets, and all the smoke (C-c-Now!) Cause you're the bitch that had to cross me (Now!) Satisfy your urge of morbid curiosity (Now!) Tie another knot in your line (C-c-now!) Before I get the urge to commit another crime of pain Heed these words of mine down from the sand Watch the shifty eyes of the people from this land (X2) You're so fucking predictable; it's criminal how black your soles become Under the sun, under the sheets, and all the smoke

about

Proxima Control New York

In the fall of 2009, guitarists John P. and Matt Z. were sold fake tickets to a Metallica concert. Angered but moved, the duo decided to form their own metal band in New York City. John quickly discovered the talented and like-minded singer Jack Hope and bassist Ben Souder, who had journeyed from Washington DC with just a suitcase and a bass to find success in New York. ... more
