Despite All

This place means the world to me
This place will be the death of me
For all of that promise
Something sorely lacks
Constantly on the offensive
Forever on the attack
The best of all, the worst of all
It’s that duality that defines me
The underdog, fight to win
It’s not over before it begins
Despite All
Until the end hold hope high
Don’t succumb to despair plight.
Despite All
All I say and all that I do
Will it ever get through to you
Set me up you can never knock me down
An outlaw in a one horse town
The best of all, the worst of all
It’s that duality that defines me
The underdog, fight to win
It’s not over before it begins
Despite All
Until the end hold hope high
Don’t succumb to despair plight.
Despite All
Truth will not evaporate
Roots will not dissipate
Rest assured
Your cure is right here
Not between the lines.

Rats in the Walls

This heat is getting to me
From dawn to eve
Messing with all I see
Pounding on the closing walls
Terrified of the rats in the walls
Every direction that I look
Recognize fear of the unknown
The stranger at home, out on the street
Challenging these preconceived beliefs
Pounding on the closing walls
Mortified of the rats in the walls
Solitude Blessing and curse
Fast lane in a busted hurse
Got nowhere fast
Can’t escape the sprawl wrath
Drying out burning up staring at a half empty cup
Drying - Burning
The stranger, the outsider
The other, my brother
Sometimes makes me frantic
Run for cover
Who is in the house next door?
What lives underneath my floor?
All are guilty until proven innocent
Challenging preconceived beliefs
Coming through the rotting walls
Petrified of the rats in the walls
Solitude Blessing and curse
Fast lane in a busted hurse
Got nowhere fast
Can’t escape the sprawl wrath

Brushfires
05:46
|
|
||
|
One lightning strike will set aflame
A country side wild and untamed
No rescue for those already dead
Reason cast aside for myth instead
Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom
Before you can rise again
Nowhere to go but up from here
Nowhere
There are no easy landings, prepare for impact
There are no easy landings, prepare for impact
Prepare for war
What has been cannot continue
What is coming can’t be stopped
What has been cannot continue
What is coming can’t be stopped
There is no easy way out
That bridge has been torched
No looking back for
Struggle with loss and remorse
Wrong hands all over this from the start
With no intention for repair
Rip this apart set fire to water
Generate steam brushfires will burn this place clean
Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom
Before you can rise again
Nowhere to go but up from here
Nowhere
There are no easy landings, prepare for impact
There are no easy landings, prepare for impact
Prepare for war
What has been cannot continue
What is coming can’t be stopped
What has been cannot continue
What is coming can’t be stopped
There is no easy way out
That bridge has been torched
No looking back for
Struggle with loss and remorse
Fire on high, the hills are burning

Snake Oil Dealer

Truth is contagious everyone is immune
Seeing eye to eye with the blind
Taking moral cues from the ill-repute
Your lies – are the impetus for my rage
Your lies – attempt to distort the truth
Your eyes – reflect a dark and twisted plan
Your eyes – a window into the darkness of man
You were entrusted with justice
Left me feeling disgusted
I can't hide forever from your reign of terror
One man’s inferno another’s heaven
Your lies – are the impetus for my rage
Your lies – attempt to distort the truth
Your eyes – reflect a dark and twisted plan
Your eyes – a window into the darkness of man
Snake Oil
Speaking in forked tongue and hiding your face
How do you sleep at night after lying all day?
No shame no problem, when you swallow your shit
Contagion spreading, once it starts hard to quit
Hope dies last
To gather dust is to die
Spread the word against the plague
Snake Oil

Shooting Down the Sun
04:44
|
|

|
I shot at the sun with my hand today,
It's been a hundred days since we've seen the rain
It's a sad sorry state of affairs we're in
Living in sin but acting innocent
Rough hands bleed
Dying on my feet
No way to live
Hard to believe
Sunburn the blame on the backs of slaves
We can't have it both ways while we eat the cake
Built the whole god damn state on a peasant wage
So much at stake in this backwards state
No time for swine
Or coyote antics
Avoid the leeches mouth
And serpent tactics
Dust dancing in the sun both burning my eyes
Singing songs of hope cringing from despair
Dust dancing in the sun both burning my eyes
Both hanging in this dry polluted air
Shoot at the sun
Dust dancing in the sun both burning my eyes
Singing songs of hope cringing from despair
Dust dancing in the sun both burning my eyes
Both hanging heavy in this dry and polluted air

Palace of Thorn

From the Black Mountains to the valley of gold
Souls have been conquered slaughtered, bought and sold
Against our best interest we have buried the past
Self-loathing, self-hating roots buried beneath piles of trash
Roots in my blood - We settled here
War against land - We settled here
War against man - We settled here
For all reason - For no reason
Congress is trapped between Sentinel and the tracks
Razed entire neighborhoods in the name of progress for man
Held contempt for history ignored treaties and committed genocide
Still trying to grasp a utopia elusive deep inside
Roots in my blood - We settled here
War against land - We settled here
War against man - We settled here
For all reason - For no reason
All paths led me here
Where nothing was before
All paths led me here
Where nothing should be

City of Dust
04:58
|
|
||
|
Sixty miles north of a militarized zone is a place I call my home
The Devil’s Highway lures and kills dreams left unfulfilled
Here death is like breathing…
Overworked and underpaid. Too much sun not enough rain
But here I stay the native son. Too torn to leave, too tired to run
This place once so resolute now verging on the destitute
Home is where the heart is, hell is where the home is
Laws change. People die. The land remains.
Laws change. People die. The land remains.
In this city of dust. City Of Dust.
Despite this drought, the tide will turn
Despite this drought, the tide will turn
Despite this drought, the tide will turn
This may be my last chance I get to express all my disgust
An all American wasteland about to get fatally crushed
Here death is like breathing…
Don’t blame the scapegoat It’s the iron walls, the bane of us all
No dignity in settling for silver in this land of copper
And I don’t know if I have the spirit to stomach this anymore
Home is where the heart is, hell is where the home is
Laws change. People die. The land remains.
Laws change. People die. The land remains.
In this city of dust. City Of Dust.

Plague Widow

Lost the battle but not the war
Nothing left worth fighting for
My Plague Widow
Not at all what I had in mind
Forever doing time
My Plague Widow
Don’t dread the dead
Regret nothing said
My Plague Widow
Stretch your hand to the sky
Spread darkness beyond night
My Plague Widow
I will never appear before you again
But will look over until the end
I will never appear before you again
My life not yours, our lives will fade away
My life not yours, our lives will fade away
No dignity in standing last
I am outcast
My Plague Widow
Did not have this in mind
Forever doing time
My Plague Widow
Don’t dread the dead
Regret nothing said
My Plague Widow
Stretch hands towards sky
Spread darkness beyond night
My Plague Widow
I will never appear before you again
But will look over until the end
I will never appear before you again
My life not yours, our lives will fade away
My life not yours, our lives will fade away
To suffer and be crushed by faith
My Plague Widow
Lonely apologist of fate
My Plague Widow
Walk fast let not the demons take hold
My Plague Widow
Don’t look back no street paved with gold
My Plague Widow
This is hell and all the devils are here
Here is hell and all the devils are…

Godhunter Tucson, Arizona
Influenced just as much by Black Flag as Black Sabbath, Godhunter worships at the altar of the riff and creates a raw wall of sound that refuses to follow conventional patterns. "Wolves" was voted one of the best local metal releases of 2012 by the Tucson Weekly. The album was also reviewed in well known publications such as Metal Hammer and Hails & Horns Magazine. ... more
