lyrics

Forces from below
Bodies piled on high
Granting riches and fame overnight

One lonely man
Addicted to the light
Willing to give anything a try

Forced to comply he will learn wrong from right
He affixes his fate that is fueled by one sick appetite

Hate is strong
That is what is known all along
Hurt inside
No hope and nowhere to hide

Down below and it’s dying time
Bleeding out is on his mind
Causing the fear deep inside
Fading tonight
He just can’t stop

With fields below
Dark skies arrive
He is no longer alive

Reap what he’s sewn
And there he lies
Knowing today he will die

Forced to comply he will learn wrong from right
He affixes his fate that is fueled by one sick appetite

Hate is strong
That is what is known all along
Hurt inside
No hope and nowhere to hide

Face forced down
Head in a hole
Deceit, remorse is all he knows
To build it all up again
He went and died to feel alive

This is the first time.
This is the last time.
This is the first time.
This is the last time.

Dead Swarm Phoenix, Arizona

Founded 2013 in Phoenix, AZ, Dead Swarm’s approach to metal is dark and aggressive, influenced by Six Feet Under, Morbid Angel, Death, and Pig Destroyer. Featuring articulate gutteral lead vocals and a hard-hitting rhythm section, the sound of Dead Swarm is matched by its unsettling lyrical themes--influenced by psychological horror films, ghost stories, and portrayals of human capacity for evil. ... more
