1.	The 9th Circle (2010 Demo) 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Watch it flow Eyes glazed, lost in the stars Stripped and beaten by the wind you crack The sky speaks but you only see the black Watch it flow Rejuvenate our soil, only to burn again In it's ashes nothing grows Burn Burn, now look up at me Into the eyes to which you lied so many times Lie to them again and burn Trampled into dirt A shallow grave Burn, and rise again Eternal liar Eternal fire, burn. (solo: Bagnall) (solo: Hubball)
2.	You're Only Here To Die (2010 Demo) 01:54	lyrics	buy track
Universal mind, bring forth your own demise Your desperate cries bleed the heaving earth before your eyes Eons wondering why, but you're only hear to die Natures dead end try, bringer of your own demise Crashing down worldwide Monuments erupt By the earth you shunned Fire black the sky You're only here to die Eons wondering why, but you're only here to die Crashing down worldwide
3.	Suffer As One (2010 Demo) 04:02	lyrics	buy track
War, inside my head One more day and I'll wind up dead Carve it all out to set myself free Breathe deep, to be free is to bleed Breathe through the blade, bit the pain Severed from mind to suffer as one Pain cleanse pain Pain engraved Cleanse with the blade and suffer as one Pain, transcend to higher planes Bleed for freedom, a peace regained Pain, to bleed is the key Suffer as one and be free Pain cleanse pain Pain engraved Cleanse with the blade and suffer as one Scars from the mind, you're damned for all time Suffer as one Power through pain
4.	U.F.E.W.C. (2010 Demo) 02:46	lyrics	buy track
Obsession for attention, flaunt flesh because it is all you have A void of empty space behind your lifeless eyes Clawing to the top your humanity dies Come crawling back to the ones you forced to crawl Where is this strength you had? Not so strong anymore Ignored now you crave us more Not so strong any more liar Liar Useless fragile empty worthless c*nt.
5.	Golgothan (2010 Demo) 03:59	lyrics	buy track
I lie awake eternal, no respite in my slumber My eyes burn within my mind, where it is your domain Your acid in my veins Oh scorching pain! Oh dull misery Haunted by the smile that I stripped away It is forever engraved in me Your disgust and your loathing I remember well that look of pure disgust Why must I be scorned by one I love so much I've fallen so deep, condemned for all to see Your acid in my veins, will this ever end? Burn all that conspire Burn all the liars Suffer like me I've fallen so deep, condemned for all to see Your acid in my veins, will this ever end? (solo: Hubball) (solo: Bagnall)
6.	Putting It Bluntly (2011 Demo) 05:13	lyrics	buy track
Stupidity is all I see You are a plague, you are disease You make us sick, you drag us down It never ends, in shit we drown All I want is to sit around and watch this world come crumbling down Engulfed in flame, you are erased and I will die with smile on face Pass the time, death on my mind, escape from life All that's left is to forget and await death
7.	Indifference (2011 Demo) 04:29	lyrics	buy track
World of mediocrity, festering in apathy Millions left to starve and bleed, what did you expect to see? Hatred despair murder suicide Fuck it - no one cares. Are you any better? No you're fucking not Sit back enjoy their antics, for just like them you'll rot Born to die Hatred despair murder suicide Fuck it - no one cares Breathing with a broken mind that's shattered, and can't repair Fuck it - no one cares So this shit means nothing, your shit just means less Now the end is coming, this world is not meant to last Love joy laughter life Fuck it - no one cares
8.	Crash Or Burn (2011 Demo) 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Acrid smoke fills my lungs My throat is scorched, my flesh is boiled Burnt alive by searing fuel Choke and burn for a fucking fool Fall through sky, a perfect day A clear blue sky the last thing I see I hear the screams of the crowds below who watch me die as I collide with stone Crash or burn, running out of time In here I boil, out there I fly I won't be forced, I'll choose how I die Decision time, do I burn or fly? I choose when I die I choose hot I die Crash or burn

about

This release comprises two recording sessions conducted during Easter 2010 and Easter 2011 at Summerbank House in Tunstall, Stoke-On-Trent.
In the years between the recording and release of these songs the sound of the band has evolved (much as it did between the first and second recording sessions), and thus these songs have been relegated to 'demo' status.
These recording were made with the assistance of Christopher Bagnall (Vocals, guitar, writer and co-writer of tracks 2 and 5) and Matt Johnson (Session Drums on all tracks).

To check out what Chris is up to nowadays, head on over to his art website - www.christopherbagnall.co.uk
