Bai Lan

The 2nd Single From Chapter II: Destruction

Inspired By the Legendary Bioshock Franchise, in this installment, the underwater city of Rapture lays rotting and ruined years after the civil war that caused its downfall

As the Big Daddies and Little Sisters that remain continue their path of vengeful destruction, readying themselves to step through the dimensional tears they discovered in the bowels of the city, they find there is yet more to be done than initially anticipated...

The depths of their oppressors lies knew no bounds, forcably trapping them in a psychologically torturous loop through previous mentally conditioned fail-safes imposed upon them. In order to break them, move on to free themselves and finish their plan, they must now face those responsible for the cruelty they suffered and erase the lies that bound them to this rotting city under the depths

As they found, heavy lies the head of the guilty.

Lyrics:

Bai lan

Let it rot

Bai lan

Come walk with me into the dark

Bai lain

Let it rot

Let this broken system rot until it’s (dead and) gone

Bai lan

So we can finally move on

Don’t you see? This nightmares come to life again

As the liars cling to their worlds of pretend

They built this cage and took from us what made us human

To bear resemblance of the monsters they envisioned

If it’s not a dream then why can’t we wake up from this?

Coz of All their poisons keeping you in this necropolis

One man’s actions speak louder than their Empty words

And brings you back from the precipice they drove you to

All of those Empty little platitudes and ‘promises’

From empty selfish little tools

No morality just poisons to devolve the soul

There’s nothing left down here to lose

Bai lan

Let it rot

Bai lan

Come walk with me into the dark

Bai lain

Let it rot

Let this broken system rot until it’s (dead and) gone

Bai lan

So we can finally move on

There is no such thing as happiness here only lessened states of misery

From the hands of the fools and their enforced perceived authority

Forced down deep inside, this sordid mental maze they’d made

We already knew this’d push us ever closer to extinction

To dim the light inside of the souls they knew that they’d forsaken

Their Dependence on corrupting through the evolutional temptations

And The track marks line their flesh contorting/leaving bodies in a mutated mess

Twisted limbs from (all their) sins when humanity’s so forgotten

From All of those Empty little platitudes and ‘promises’

From empty selfish little tools

No morality just poisons to devolve the soul

There’s nothing left down here to lose

The weight of all these lies they forced upon us

And we erased them without a trace

Sunken to the deep

Heavy lies the head of the guilty

The sea won’t wash away their shame

Heavy lies the head of the guilty

Vengeance

My darkest, most complex, and heaviest work yet

Lyrics:

Let the ocean feed upon their ashes

So the cycle repeats

Til there’s nothing left to claim from their meat

Our disdain for their existence only strengthened the result

We made sure that all their plans ground to a halt

If this is what they wanted

Then they’ve reaped everything they’ve sown

Such foolish ignorant sheep

With all of their poisons of control

They had thought that they knew fear

Tried to manipulate our minds

Til they met this thing

That the darkness sent

To break everything it finds

So my friends will you walk with me

Down this path that we’ve paved together

We refused to be their victims of deceit

All the lies that they tried to chain to us

Hear us now

We refuse to obey

We will not bow

To your malicious intents

And their dissent

Was the product of their undoing

Feeding on the lives of the innocent as they crawled

Begging for their suffering to end

But the young ones

They found no mercy from their captors

And we

Showed no mercy

In kind

To all of their evil that

Bound us

Shackled to the poisons that they forced upon us all

Living inside of this hell for too long

Dependant

Addicts of the pain in this cold dark infinity

Mentally conditioned for the worst

That this bucket had to offer

Vengeance

The Only remedy to abate all the insanity

Ended With the sound

From this world deep underground

The payment

Measured by displeasure on the ledger of disdain

Left to pay their debt with their lives

Taken willingly

There is always a lighthouse

There is always a man

There is always a city

This was always their plan

So we brought it to an end

Find the Power Within

Set Yourself Free

From their decent

It was the product of their undoing

Feeding on the lives of the innocent as they crawled,

begging for their suffering to end

Taken from a loving family

And stolen from a happy home

Brainwashed to make this city implode

Once again

But the young ones

They found no mercy from their captors

And we

Showed no mercy

In kind

To all of their evil that

Bound us

Shackled to the poisons that they forced upon us all

Living inside of this hell for too long

Dependant

Addicts of the pain in this cold dark infinity

Mentally conditioned for the worst

That this bucket had to offer

Vengeance

The Only remedy to abate all the insanity

Ended With the sound from this world deep underground

The payment

Measured by displeasure on the ledger of disdain

Left to pay their debt with their lives

Taken willingly

To the bed of the deep

Returned

To the bed of the deep

Returned

My darkest, most complex, and heaviest work yet

Lyrics:

Fuck

Fuck your world

We've made our own

So

Fuck

Fuck your world

They pretend to feel

And ignore the real

Couldn’t break us

So they tried kill us all

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in this life

You cannot trust these blood sucking parasites

They have tried

But they failed just the same

Sent their best

But this energy that we bring can’t be contained

We are more than they’ll ever hope to know

And now they rot from the judgement that they faced deep down below

Burn them all

I want to swim in the ashes

Til we’ve regained our souls

Let it rain

Let the ashes fall from the skies above

Let it rain

We’ve been dwelling in the dark here for far too long

Unlike them we remember where we came from

We are the ones that they sent to the dark

Out of sight out of mind

We said we’d take our lives back

Wed claim em in full

And there’ll be nothing they can do all those little hypo-critic fools

Live strong, together as one

And the best that they could do was run

But it didn’t help

Couldn't stop the inevitable

Their fate was sealed

The day that they crossed/wronged us all

They were warned

And as always they didn’t listen to a single word

So we defied them

We refused to obey to the rules of fools

Or To their sick depraved lack of conscience

Void of morality / No moral values

We faced the best that they could send to try to silence all of us

All laid to rest in the end

They tried to bury us and blame us for their in-capabilities

Parasitic scum

Living out their fantasies in their delusional minds

Like the blind leading the blind

Burn them all

I want to swim in the ashes

Til we’ve regained our souls

Let it rain

Let the ashes fall from the skies above

Let it rain

Til it blocks out the pain

I have made myself into the physical embodiment of our vengeance

We have watched as they corrupted the young from the depths of the nether realm

And they paid with their lives

Fuck

Fuck your world

We've made our own

So

Fuck

Fuck your world

Let them feed

Returned to the sea

We have damned them to their eternal punishment

Returned to the sea

The Nightmare Below

Part of the New Triple Chapter Full Length IO Record Coming Soon

My darkest, most complex, and heaviest work yet

Lyrics:

Welcome to the nightmare

Below

Look around don’t you recognize this place?

This is the world of your mistakes

Don’t fight that feeling they say seeing is believing

And there are things down here you would not believe

You know you wronged me far too many times

And you told me a thousand sordid lies

You stabbed me in the back to try to bury your mistakes

Then dumped me to the street in the hope I’d die

But there’s one thing that you did not count upon

There are many more down here just like me

We have built this place together a world of pain here in the nether

To reek our vengeance on the fools that sent us here

So do your worst there is no counter for this curse

This is the place that you fear

That place you sent me just to rot away the days

And I hope that you’re dissatisfied with your stay

Welcome to the nightmare

Below

So save your breath no ones listening to your lies

You’re the very thing that we despise

We’ve heard it all before and got no patience anymore

It was just a matter of time

We’ve gotten wise

You know you wronged me far too many times

and you told me a thousand sordid lies

We learned a hard mistake

Never trust a useless fake

Cause we know now what your kind is truly like

All you ignorant liars didn’t count upon this fact

There are many more down here just like me

We have built this place together

A world of pain down in the nether

To reek our vengeance on the fools that put us here

We refused to do your twisted bidding

We refused to be your slaves

There is no excuse for what you’ve done

You never spared a single one

All your evil schemes they stopped nothing

Only delaying what was coming to pass

And now the time has come for you to pay

A man chooses

A slave obeys

I told you that you didn’t want to go down this road

This is payback for every life that you stole

You took our time from us while poisoning the young ones

They call me Mr B

And on the end of this drill will be your skull - fucked

Bring them to me

I am

I am the reckoning

We have erased you

And all the evil that you’ve done

We will erase you all

To save the little ones

We have erased you

To save the little ones

For you

I am the reckoning

"I wrote this song when I was a teenager based on a horror movie concept I came up with, in which a black market funded gene engineering lab come across an ancient fossil containing a fully preserved parasite. Upon finding it, they immediately start gene splicing to create a bioweapon for black market buyers, & aptly named The Apex Parasite. However, this parasite was not of this planet, a leftover remnant of the meteor showers that ended the dinosaur age, unbeknownst to the scientists, both from negligence, lack of research & their greed.

But the engineered creature begins to show signs of intelligence increasing at an hourly rate, growing rapidly in a matter of days before destroying its enclosure, & killing all life it encounters (incl. the entire team at the compound) as it attempts to establish itself as the apex predator.

Before his death, one assistant engineer realizes the horrors of what they've made & sends an encrypted video message to the billionaire funding the twisted venture; the clean up crew is then deployed.

I kept all the demo ideas stored for many years & felt now was the time to bring this song in particular to life. I waited this long to release it simply because the necessary technology required to achieve the full vision of what this song is, and do it justice, just wasn't readily available to me... until now!"

Lyrics:

Burn

Burn it down to the ground

Before it takes us all

Burn it down

It’s too late to turn back now so

Waste it

We’ve got to kill this thing before it kills us all

And they named this thing the apex parasite

There’s bodies in the basement

The scent of death still haunts these hallowed enchanted falls

Distorting all reality

‘Til you can’t tell the real from the insanity

What the hell have they been doing here

Bioweapon XT6439

Continually evolving, the very apex of a species lost to time

They have created a monster beyond all comprehension

Engineering the extinct to manifest a new form of bioweapon

Looks like they met their end

By this thing that they had designed

Playing with ancient forces

That they didn’t even try to understand

And now that this things let loose

From their own pathetic negligence

We’ve got to clean up this mess

If there’s any hope for a future left

When all of this is dead and buried

When we’ve undone all the wrong

When the place is nothing but ashes

We did what had to be done

What we they expecting

There are some things that man cannot control

This is one of the ancients

The shape of pestilence embodied in a native form

Lock and Load

Burn it down to the ground

Before it takes us all

Burn it down

It’s too late to turn back now so

Waste it

We’ve got to kill this thing before it kills us all

And they named this thing the apex parasite

Terrified and Apoplectic

They didn’t know that it was capable of sensing fear

What began as incidental

Quickly morphed into the reason why it’s still here

Follow the destruction

All the rivers here are stained with so much blood

I can smell all their insides

And all the skeletons it left here in the mud

Driven by instinct and bloodlust

The worst of this is yet to be seen

That thing will just keep on killing

‘Til all of life on earth is wiped clean

I can feel all the horror

The ground bleeds drenched with death from everything that went down

All that’s left is the ancient

And by now it’ll know what we have come here to do

So ready yourselves for the storm

This thing will not go down easily

We’ve got to clean up this mess

If there’s any hope for a future left

When all of this is dead and buried

When we’ve undone all the wrong

When the place is nothing but ashes

We did what had to be done

If we don’t it’ll keep on consuming

Growing larger by the day

And If we don’t we’ll never see our loved ones again

So what do you say?

Die

Foul creature

Die

Kill this wretched thing

We will be the last that it will ever see

Burn this abomination

For the sake of humanity’s preservation

Die

Foul creature

Die

Go back to hell where you came from
