Words by Adam Pearce How can you take what has never been yours? Strip me of my life, feed me to the poor? Move me and move me keep moving me more Blind me and bind me throw me out the door Living the style, keeping it wild, I won't be taken down Do it again, all of my friends, all of them feel the crown Take them away, do what I say, I will never be pleased Under the gun, watching them run, watching them crawl for me Oh don't you understand that I'm high above it all Oh can't you be a man and see I will take it all I'll take it all How can you take what has never been yours? Strip me of my life, feed me to the poor? Move me and move me keep moving me more Blind me and bind me throw me out the door Bend to my will, do or be killed, I will not be ignored Please take a stand, tell me your plans, I've never been so bored Quiet the hoard, bar all the doors, I am the chosen one Heed my commands, damn your demands, I cannot be undone Can't be undone Can't be undone How can you take what has never been yours? Strip me of my life, feed me to the poor? Move me and move me keep moving me more Blind me and bind me throw me out the door Lend me your hand my fellow man, I have been beaten down See what remains, all of the stains, wearing this ugly crown Just take me now out to the crowd, broken and overrun Do what you need, just watch me bleed, I have become undone Become undone Ya, ya, (can't be undone, can't be undone) How can you take what has never, never been yours (can't be undone) Strip me of my life and feed me to the poor (can't be undone) Move me and move me keep moving keep moving me more (can't be un...can't be un... can't be undone) How can you take what has never been yours? Strip me of my life, feed me to the poor? Move me and move me keep moving me more Blind me and bind me throw me out the door

Words by Nick Ray and Ian Severson I’ve lost my senses as these walls surround me I’m digging deep 'cause there’s nothing left that I can feed And I lost my will as I struggle to survive In this hallowed shell this Illusion of Grandeur transpires This is my illusion of grandeur This is my illusion of grandeur And I can’t explain these strange things in my dreams When I close my eyes, this emptiness surrounds me And I’m Petrified by the darkness in me Yes, I’m petrified Petrified Petrified I’m still sitting still And there’s nothing that I can do but remain in this existence Ya I hear them calling me to a world I don’t belong With their cynical aspirations And I can’t explain these strange things in my dreams When I close my eyes, this emptiness surrounds me And I’m petrified by the darkness in me Finally found my senses, no more walls around me Weight of this world is off my shoulders Repossessed my will, I know that I will survive Hallow shell no more this illusion of grandeur expires This is my illusion of grandeur My illusion of grandeur And I can’t explain these strange things in my dreams When I close my eyes, this emptiness surrounds me And I’m petrified by the darkness in me Yes, I’m petrified Petrified And I can’t explain these strange things in my dreams Yes I'm petrified Petrified When I close my eyes, this emptiness surrounds me Petrified And I’m petrified by the darkness in me Petrified Petrified Yes, I’m petrified...By the darkness in me

Words by Wally Joseph Tell me that you're sorry one more time Solitude is poison for divine I can read the winter in your eyes and I think it's time we drive Gotta get away Gotta separate from Gotta get away Gotta get away from Gotta get away Gotta separate the nightmare we've become I've been taken for a joyride in this town No one wants to see the real you inside out I've been searching for a way to slow this down It goes round and round Hold me when you hang me out to dry Lose me when you find a place to hide I can read the bullshit in your eyes So I say goodbye I've been taken for a joyride in this town No one wants to see the real you inside out I've been searching for a way to slow this down It goes round and round

Words by Greg Moog It's the perfect crime No one will survive You beg us for more time Which face will decide your fate Phantoms haunting me Flush this down the drain Sanctum's cast us here Nightmare's come to stay Say you want me Say you want me, dead Say you want me Say you want me, dead I slip inside you Bring three times the pain One mind yet there's three lives More twists for our game Say you want me Say you want me, dead Say you want me Say you want me, dead Say you want me Say you want me, dead Say you want me Say you want me, dead Who am I Who am I Who am I Who am I Who am I Say you want me, (Who am I) Say you want me, dead (Who am I) Say you want me, (Who am I) Say you... Who am I Say you want me Say you want me, dead Say you want me Say you want me, dead Say you want me Say you want me, dead Say you want me Say you want me dead Say you want me Say you want me dead Say you want me Say you want me dead

about

This collaborative rock/metal based double EP release from Ian Severson aka Beat Devil Music(ex guitarist for New Orleans's based Future Leaders of the World [FLOW] and Minneapolis' Gingerjake)is his first (solo) release since FLOW's 2015 "Reveal" (Pavement Entertainment/Megaforce/Red). The "mix tape" compilation album is a blend of rock, metal, and rap (trap metal) vocalists, with a different singer featured on each track. Several drummer's (most notably, Derek S. Abrams - ex Ministry drummer), notable turntable-ist's (Quickie Mart and Killahouse) and a handful of A-List mix engineer's (Cameron Webb, Sterling Winfield, David Troia, Brandon Eiynck, Eric Reed)handy-work are front and center on this effort, as well as featuring album art by Minneapolis based Rogue Citizen artist, Lizardman (Matt Wells).
The new solo record is comprised of 11 total tracks (8 originals with 2 alternate versions, and a cover version of "Clean My Wounds" originally written, recorded, and performed by vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan and Corrosion of Conformity).

The record was released on April 9, 2021 on all digital streaming and download platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, Pandora, etc.

Thanks to my friends and fellow musicians, artists, engineers, and collaborators.  Without them, this record would not have been possible!  Thanks to my family, friends, and fans who continue to show support for the music projects I've been fortunate to be a part of over the years. Hope you all enjoy! Stay Metal!
