Fighting 'till we're condemned Hiding what you can't find I am breathing in the poison you've administered to my mind Tied to the stone table Made to feel pain in ways I have never even noticed You will pay with Your worthless life I know You took my, You took my soul Reaper, meet traitor His life has been deemed worthless by all those who loved and hated equally May he rest his head upon the watchful eyes of your command and tell you all his secrets and all of his darkest fears Keep them and hold them close to your beating heart Then, wait for the moment when you will need them most I am the reaper, I will take back my old life where plagues didn't walk and cause us so much gripe Your attempts will get you nothing Your desires will end your life Feeling safe beyond the chaos You can't kill me inside my mind BURN How could you Burned at the stake 'till it means nothing You lost an ally along the way Any chance you've had to take me down is a chance for all to see Rehabilitation through darkest schemes What you'll see here is obscene Say goodbye to all that you loved The feeling is MACABRE These scars will show all my battles and how I've been through hell I've been so close to death, he'll see my promise through For a chance to go to war, I'd give normality For a chance to end this torture, I'd give my final day Ripping, tearing at the casket Looking for another way out Empty graveyard flooding over Thoughtless actions, Magnum Opus Help him, drop him LET HIM GO Relive, Recall all your memories Purgatory is calling your name out in the silence Take a look at what you've done Release your consciousness You can't get out now I see you struggling Gasping for one breath A chance to go on Does it really matter, that you left me alone Will you take back all your old ways and bring the rain of change Doubt it for one reason, Torment is my passion Your corpse will hang from the rafters ceased to exist Time for a life to end You took my, You took my life Reaper, I have him His chances are slim to none Begging for mercy and for all actions to be undone Show my your methods and all of your righteous ways So that I may go on to prevent casualties No one should have to face what I have all alone You made me stronger so I could go unite them all Outcasts, Observers Know that you're not alone Chances may seem so grim, but know that you'll overcome Their attempts will get them nothing Their insults will end no life Felling safe embracing chaos They can't kill us, no one will BURN How could you Held at my will 'till it means something You lost an ally along the way Any chance I've had to take you down is one that's well foreseen Rehabilitation through darkest schemes What you'll see here is obscene Say goodbye to all that you loved The feeling is Torn apart by forceful means What lies here is unseen Leave the ways of all of mankind The feeling is MACABRE

Built my fortress up brick by brick! All this controversy made the sceptics! Left to a world made of occultist lust! Never once thought I'd see it turn to dust! How dare they mock me outside my castle walls? I sometimes wish I could just end it all! Distant bodies will soon become aligned! A brand new tale for the walls to remind! The devil's ways bring me hate! I just keep living none the wiser! Inhalant views! Reborn anew! Welcome Home! To the Manor! Outsiders, those heathens! Never will they come inside! They speak of my morals! Their judgements are correct! Secrets! Left inside a darkened room! Waiting! For my return again! Escape! Bittersweet reality! Reaper! Staring beneath me! My eyes! Completely oblivious! Strangers! Induce formication! We act! As we feel like! This is my new reality! Come join this place! Embrace this call! Please have no fear! You are safe here! Hiding from them! Sanctuary! Inside we hide! Things we abide! May you enter us! Inside this room! My worst nightmare is coming true! A plot is now conceived! Leave us begging! Now we're a prey to your game! Dead of night! Concealing your every move! Silence! The people in which you align with loathe us! Jealousy in your mind takes over! The riches you claim that we have! Unrelenting! The price they put on my head! Means something! All that we've done for you! How dare you?! Held at my will! Chained to one place! Begging at your mercy! Chains to my arms! Gagged at the mouth! Made to watch my lover die! The guns now pointing at him, unable to scream in disbelief! Demanding the riches at once! The house we built was empty of that! His life now on the line! Before I know it, his skull caves in! I writhe in my seat in horror as he becomes motionless. Watching the gushing blood stain the hardwood! I cry out in agony! His spirit leaves the world! Now I'm sure of this: my bitter end has come at last! The plans become apparent to me. Slaughter the weak, Pillage the dead! No being will survive! Ransoming my life! I gave them a place to go! A place to escape reality! Given circumstance it seems I'm to blame here! I didn't want to die like this! Feeling the steel against my chin! Increasing sense of panic! The fear sets in! My life flashes before my eyes! Reminiscent! One last chance they give to me! I can't submit! I beg to them, tears in my eyes! Ending my life, The devil awaits! They rummage through the remains! Finding nothing! Turns out I was telling the truth! No condemnation! Was I backstabbed or robbed by these strangers? Citizens condemn us in death! Now I can see, I asked for this!

Eaten alive by things Beaten and bloody kings, your time has come to fall I won't let it in Your death means bliss for hostile creatures on the rise Hymn from the shadows spells your extinction A brand new way in reaching Hell Call to your master, Your spitting image So I can sit and watch him die No escape and no redemption No escape from getting trampled There's no way of ridding your sins No defection for the sorry Only death for opposition Your way of thinking is through You won't escape You can't fathom Suffocating Die, don't struggle Calling from darkness, You are not the one Standing far from those you've hurt You won't ever harm me Blood drips from your eyes You expect me to let you win Brain dead masses have lined the streets Chasing things they will never reach Far as I'm concerned, we're in regress Common sense is now a rarity Break the chains from your legs Before you die like the rest of them Something strange has happened Decisions now unfold We're a bunch of equals with fate clawing at our throats Death will make the challenge No mortal answers back Now, he's left them laying guts strewn from the attack Narcissistic fools will step up for the fame When it's said and done, they're left lying all the same Those that embrace havoc give nothing to affect Hiding in the gallows predetermined to defect YOU MUST FACE ALL THE PAIN BEFORE YOU COMPREHEND You won't know How much it hurts to put you down But I will Every single one The people left undone Stare back at me with vacant eyes Motionless, they stand corrupted and defiled It seems they never stood a chance Gather to implore the heathens you abhor Forgotten by the sands of time We have done to others as they have done to us Now, they're the corpses at our feet Born into a dark existence We have found the one true reason We were meant to live in the dark History will paint a picture Try and find interpretation We won't live to see the day! You won't escape You can't fathom Vindication Drown, you mongrels Watching from darkness We are now the ones Standing on top of your bones

Held down by expectations I never claimed to reach! Left all my tragedies with those who claimed to save me. Destroy the opposition, push past reality! No need to be immortal, No need to stand above! Held back my death! Fought for my stake! Survived the Plague Made to Slay Me! Tearing my flesh off of the bone! Hung from the noose, A fatal truth! Seeking Vengeance, Left for the Dead. Don't Stop Running, Lungs Collapsing! Trapped in my world, You're the victim! I'm your captor, Pleased to end you! No more Madness, Lift the Blade! Leave them gasping once again! Drink the blood, Face your weakness! In the gorge, I'm still alive! Seize your fate, Prove them wrong! Show your scars, Dare to Martyr! Made to be more than your favorite scapegoat! Have you wondered why the strong survive? Not that you would, Pointless Afterthought! I would be less if it weren't for you. In turn, we begin to see the demons arise! You had your chance to keep them locked away! Face them! Look into their Soulless Eyes! Reach out! For the Help that Never Comes! Screaming! Out into the vast Expanse! Break Away! Corpselike Scourger, Lambaste The Weak Minds! Hell Speaks Your Name! Beckon The Pale One! Facing darkness so I can face misery! Dwell on your fate! It will serve you well. Build me back up to what I strive to be. Then I can make this world what I wish. We have the will for us to stay here! How much are you willing to give up? Teach me to be a part of your complexity! Heart still beating after all I've gone through! Made up by lasting judgements I never claimed to need. Held back the end of days with those that stand beside me. Hold back your opposition, benign controversy. I had a chance to live, a chance to strive for more. Held back the pain! Fought for my life! Made the legion that has saved me! Keeping your kind off of my bones! Hung from the noose, Almost the truth! Seeking amends and salvation! Fear takes it's hold inside your head! Trapped in my world, You're the baseborn! As for your fate, Death awaits you! END THE MADNESS! LEAVE HIM SLAIN! AGONIZE HIS VILE REMAINS! Drink the blood, Face your weakness! In the gorge, I'm still alive! Seize your fate, Prove them wrong! Show your scars, Dare to Martyr! I am not your accused! We won't take your abuse! Pain is your solecism! Die for your conceptions!

Want to be, Have to be, Need to be Locked Away! Time is urged, stayed the same! Fatal things are on the way! Thirteen times I have tried to control mentality! Every time I have tried, they elicit tragedy! Turn the other way! Neglecting Tendencies! Circumnavigate ones you omit! I am the voices controlling my next move! Why can't you see this? My brain is hurting me! No one can stop me, the system has failed me! Is there an order for all I have dealt with? Acrasia! Let me go! Leave me be! Can't you see?! Schizophrenia! Mental disarray! Forestalling Sanity! Non-conformity! Mental Dissection is causing my demise! Extent of the damage is something they imply! Paranoia has got me gripped inside its icy hands! My brains abuse is something no one understands! Cannot change! Cannot stop! For I'm not who I was! Imagine this, your own mind forcing you to kill another one! Locked away to myself, trapped inside reclusiveness! Here I stay, Here I got, Here I die in phrenic pain! Discover what you did, Negating your mistakes. Hold accountable ones you delegate. I am the broken, causing necrosis. Due to your failure, no one will trust you. Deep in paralysis, lights fading faster. Why did you hurt me? Why did you cause this?! Acrasia! Ends us all! Our cicatrix! Our fatal flaw! Human anomaly! Blaming Insanity! Misinterpreting ones you don't know!
8.	Decayed Millennium 07:14	lyrics	buy track
How can I spite these eyes and deny this life? How must we undivide and spare our time? Your fascist types and racist lies will die inside a rude awakening Halt the rise of all that's old Demise is now foretold An answer to your sins and relations with... The minds of avarice Injustice still exists We'll contemplate ways to avoid dystopia We can't continue to go on without another dawn Only time will know how long until the smoke is clear Chances born in the light are needed in this fight Their corruptive ways will not keep their reign There's no time to dwell on why we're stagnating humanity Gloom is falling over us Society will turn to dust If we keep ignoring the judicial havoc Go and recognize Before your eyes What causes us to go towards rubble Thousands dead, impassive rapture We won't have it One more chance to try and save the haunted masses Now we say "we won't obey" Anarchistic We will rise and take your throne Consequential No corruption No collusion We say no more No more wasted time No dictators No more order Can we unite against higher kind? Is there a path to kill all we find wrong with our world? If so, who will decide to go? MAY OUR KIND BE THE CATALYST BEHIND THE FALL FROM YOUR PEDESTAL! Why must we suffer still? Can't you get your fill? The world will say "this time has come and passed" Why won't you save this age? Their minds are full of rage There is a way, step aside and let us go This here sacrificial game is burning in your name We need to save evidence of former ways All the wretchedness ignored The unforgiving horde accepts your fate Lost inside obscurity Come, start facing all your fears The one of all your peers Now we can see right through your whole facade We won't continue to be slaves until our earthly graves You've run us down, now we're rising up again How did you plan for this to go? The ending of your show? It's time to go rejoin all the fallen ones If we cross this path again, we'll put you to an end and then you'll see how to treat humanity There's still time for facing why we gave human control away!
9.	I Expect Demise 05:44	lyrics	buy track
Left behind mistakes! Held within! You're not the only one! Rotting in this hell! Made on Earth! Your god can't keep you safe! Expecting Suffering to rain from above! Improvised terror ends the peace! I'll take you down with me! Handmade to kill and to cause a sense of woe and grief! The Righteous Invasion won't cease to forsake! Never felt inclined to let you live! This Homicide... improvised! Never had a reason, a lack of morals! Even in my death, no warning came. You won't ever take this away from me! I've come to liberate you, To set you free! To end all this abuse through catastrophe! Face down into the dirt! Your Grave! Lies a world I have built for you! You want to feel catharsis, You wish to know it well! Exiled from those alive and held amongst the dead! I am the one who holds all the power! Organs cover sacred sanctuary! You can't track down missing alibi! Left you speechless. I Expect Demise! As you lie worthless on the soil, my plans have come to life! Now I'm in the next phase of my ultimate hatred scheme! My streak grows! Your life ends! A barbarous trade! Blending in plain sight, I stand here. Hiding amongst your kind! The signs were there, you just missed the crucial, key details! Senseless acts from the blank send the world awry! Fall into reality! Random chance to survive! Never held in high regard! Then, I made you whole! Never left a reason why! I dropped from above! Made to free them all! Through my ruthless means! NO FORGIVENESS! ALL I'VE DONE! END MY HATE THROUGH MY OWN WAYS! Left behind my life! A mistake! I'm now the only one! Soley in this hell! Made for me! Nothing compares to this! Expecting my way out to come from above! Improvised terror brought them death, they brought me down with them! Now I seek the way I have missed on for far too long! The Righteous delusion was my true downfall! Now they feel inclined to bury me! The glimpse of mourning is on the rise. Only had one chance to change my fate. Now in my Gehenna, the warning stays!

Dimness, Stalking! Dust breaks through the sight we once held! Vestige, Grey Haze! Death looms over all unworthy! Feeding, Fueling our division hiding inside! Chasing, Seeking ghastly visions inside delusion! Ending, Mauling all those who have claimed prolongation! Bring down essence of your own mind's persistence! Hiding, Turning, Facing Extinction! Hiding, Holding out for death's embrace! There is no escape! Lie and wait for me! We'll withstand the force in our minds! Life's past death's are here once again! Fearing, Hoping the force will subside and retreat! They are not human! Made of human fears! Save yourself! Save us all! Run away! Run for it! Feeding shadow figures harming our kind! Begging, pleading to the masses all for mercy! Grieving, Crying out for the souls we have lost! Listen, Hear me! They wait for no man or mortal! There is no escape! Lie and wait for me! They will watch us all! Keep your thoughts inside! We'll withstand the force in our minds! Life's past death's are here once again!
11.	Verge of Slaughter 08:26	lyrics	buy track
Stared at the waters for far too long I try to entwine my life once more Surviving beneath unworldly pain Learn to leave the demons at bay I call to the air with no response A distant land that few will walk Tied to the souls of the past abused Ethereal Death, Indelicate Life Vaporous winds have covered the sky Gripping us all in a deadly trance Releasing control of conscious times Hear the seraphic phrase of decease Impulsive natures deplete in me Irresolute feelings concealing the urge Made to feel the weight of the plight Now I go down in ecstasy My rapture takes hold Verge of Slaughter My felicity turned to fear All that I knew, All that I loved Paling my brain into hollowed form Gazing towards an empty space Whispers coming in great detail Screaming for help, wanting release Sitting alone forgetting the days of my life outside the haze NO, I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS BREAKING THROUGH THEIR GODLY CONTROL Facing all my past mistakes Buried deep inside my brain Those that haunt me in the dark Haven't been the death of me WILL YOU SPARE ME Makers rising from their slumber To confront me and silence me You won't leave us nor inhabit your former self We have you captive You took me Took my life Made me pay in abuse You're no god All I see before me False prophets You can't have what you've lost Come and be one of us I WON'T LET YOU TAKE ME AWAY Deep in the darkness I fall to the madness Stuck here with nothing Just despair and false ecstasy Calling to nothing Reminiscent of past times Haunted by visions of our last moments Exposing my true form Destroying tormentors White flashes come when revelations arise in me I will escape this Finding the lost time Stay there and watch as I'm becoming alive again Burning from the other side The memories lie inside my brain Escaping the force that took me down Removing the grasp from 'round my throat Ungodly power from that place Casting a light on what remains Erasing the past and starting anew Stuck in the focus of my new view Formerly trapped inside my own Personal Hell, Man-made Demise Embracing the force that prevented my end Now they guide me past the abyss Though I lost my former self All that I knew, All that was mine I'm sitting alone embracing the days Of my life outside the haze Their rapture lets go Verge of Slaughter My rapture is now Now I go on

about

This is the first full length album by Jaded Black! Coming off the release of "The Macabre Demos" back in August of 2018, the band decided to return to the studio and release more face-melting action. The band still possesses some of their "Thrash-Death" style with songs like "I Expect Demise" and "Acrasia", but has slowly shifted focus towards a more universal Death Metal sound with tracks like "Predetermined to Defect" and "Corpsewood Manor".
