This apparition leaves me writings on the wall
Her shadow spells out my fears
And every time I try to erase the letters off
They just always reappear
Sometimes she turns off the light
Then asks me, "Turn it on with your mind"
Her supernatural advice, I can't take
Obsessed with powers that control physical laws
I must admit this is strange
At night I hear her walking barefoot down the hall
No ghastly voices or chains
Just whispers and lonely cries
She asks me, "move the chair with your eyes"
Her supernatural advice, I can't take
Haunt me now but don't shake the bed
Are you real or are you in my head?
Hold me down but please let me sleep
Are you here or are you in my dreams?

The Scorpion in the Sand

The scorpion in the sand
Breaths life to this ancient land
Her stories have been retold
An exoskeletal cult
Hold on to the gods of the past
So wrong to think it would last
I say so long to 5,000 years
Land of the sun
Serket is the goddess I love
The mistress I'm dreaming of
No temple houses her name
Her virtue I shall reclaim
Hold on to the gods of the past
So wrong to think it would last
I say so long to 5,000 years
Land of the sun
Lost between the heavens and the underworld below
Reality is in the hands of pharaoh
Spells and incantations are all that you need to know
Idolize the falcon, not the sparrow
Anubis weighs your heart though it depends on your survival
Osiris stays in the afterlife and waits for your arrival
Return to Horus and Seth
In ceremonial death
Hold on to the gods of the past
So wrong to think it would last
I say so long to 5,000 years
Land of the sun

Snake Eyes

Lies, lies in your eyes all the time
From the serpent's stare, hypnotized
Empty promises of paradise
How much more can I sacrifice?
Roll it down, on down, yea
They say love is blind but I can see
What do you think that says about me?
Found my purpose with an amulet
Threw the loaded dice but lost the bet
Roll it down, on down, yea
Held my nazar charm close to me
Powers of other realities
Life is serpentine so peel the scales
Take a puff of smoke and inhale
Roll it down, on down, yea
From your evil eye, you spread the curse
Hoped for better times but feared the worst
Lost a pocketful of healing stones
So I guess I'll just roll the bones
Roll it down, on down, yea
Roll it down, on down

Sun Eater

Day after day, year after year
We gaze the sky from east to west
A righteous rule of a divine seer
Extend your rays and provide us warmth
Lotus flowers growing
Reward your loyal solar prayers
Aten is all-knowing
Blind the eyes of those who stare
Wake the sun
Of all that walks and all that breaths
You are the lord of all of them
A cautious queen follows her king
Now comes the moon to steal your light
All that sleeps is yearning
Nature is still when you're away
Now the dawn is returning
Embrace the zeal from night to day
Wake the sun
Absorb the sunlight in my cells
"Great Hymn to Aten", I'll retell
A cast of shadows is my hell
I vow to worship no one else
Wake the sun

We give the life we have unto the Earth
Followed the secret path back to rebirth
Wrote elder's cosmic laws, spoke from our breath
Our only tragic flaw was ritual death
The last supper of the antichrist
My body's gonna bring me home tonight
Drink poison from an ancient stein
The answer's in the blood
The altar stained with wax from a candle's fire
Now stains their virgin backs by a priest's desires
White robes on every man, the stars aligned
To unveil the master plan: mass suicide
The last supper of the antichrist
My body's gonna bring me home tonight
Drink poison from an ancient stein
The answer's in the blood
The son of God returned to clear his name
And watched the temple burn inside the flames
Place plastic bags around everyone's face
Then leave the burial ground and the human race
The last supper of the antichrist
My body's gonna bring me home tonight
Drink poison from an ancient stein
The answer's in the blood
Nothing really matters anymore

Hell on Earth

How did it become this way?
Their modern cities have become a human zoo
Even their kids are insane
They seem to want me to become one of them too
Hell no, they won't stop breeding
Hell no, they're all just heathens
Hell no, this ain't no Eden
People who live here are strange
They don't seem to have a concept of right and wrong
Their past times are all deranged
The often ask me if I'd like to come along
Hell no, they won't stop breeding
Hell no, they're all just heathens
Hell no, this ain't no Eden

Devil's Game

Playing a game against the devil
Feeling the sweat that's dripping out of my palms
The muzzle still hot against my temple
A 1/6 chance that something goes wrong
I said I'm ready to go
I've been dying to know
I didn't want it, I didn't need it
They put the gun into my hand
I knew I shouldn't put in the bullet
So spin the chamber, pull the trigger
Then you load it again!
Telling myself, "keep it together"
I'm out of my mind and feeling very afraid
Praying to God to make it better
My heart's beating fast, I think I'm ready to play
I said I'm ready to go
I've been dying to know
I didn't want it, I didn't need it
They put the gun into my hand
I knew I shouldn't put in the bullet
So spin the chamber, pull the trigger
Then you load it again!

No Man's Land
05:12

A dark tale of Orwellian omens gives me peace of mind
Dim scenes of a utopian future, only war and crime
Is it the end of times?
A place where violence makes the rules?
Yea, a no man's land is coming
Well you gotta admit sometimes it's better to know you're dying
Black shadows over on the horizon, it's forever night
Evil thoughts lead to evil deeds, think about your whole damn life
You know the contract is signed
Cause it's the lies that take control
Yea, a no man's land is coming
Cause it's where the sun don't shine, is where we will all be going
Yea, a no man's land is coming
Well you gotta admit sometimes it's better to know you're dying
I'll say it again, a no man's land is coming
Cause it's where the sun don't shine, is where we will all be going

WARLUNG Houston, Texas
Founded in 2016, former members of Houston's The Dead Revolt and Rivers joined forces to push the limits of song writing and creativity. Inspired by the sounds of old, WARLUNG has taken what the 70's era of rock and psychedelia gave us and turned it into a hi-powered, white knuckled ride, down the rock n' roll highway. ... more

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music!
