1.
In the small hours Drawn to the vibration Naked and alive For the celebration (Chorus) Arms and legs Open like a flower Receive the gift Of timeless power Ride the serpent Bathed in sweat No right or wrong Animal instinct The pull is strong (Repeat Chorus) Blinding Lights And exploding colors This godlike night Greater than all others (Repeat Chorus)
2.
Born to Die 04:47
Devil and daughter were burned at the altar Not even a trace of a tear This evil deception, the key to inception Tempting you more as you hear Lies of a wise man, through eyes of a blind man Controlling your mind with your fear The paths that are taken, can be mistaken As streets paved with gold tempt you near. Sowing the seed of sacrifice Will hold the key to paradise For all who give, give unto you Led to believe the lie for truth Arise my children by the sea Await the fate given to thee For what is promised of mankind Shall come to pass, left behind.
3.
Banished 04:19
Once upon a long time ago I lost hold of all that I'd known Was casted aside, I went on my way Was banished and branded a fool A mystery without a clue The lessons in life you learn every day Watch me... (Chorus) Another time another place A banished world filled with rage Another trial I must face alone Darkened and blinded by hate A victim of uncertain fate Like mountains to sand it withered away Searching for something inside The fragments of all that I hide So much to be said, but nothing to say (Repeat Chorus) Until the end of the line I still search for something to find Is this all there is, I truly don't know No.
4.
Annihilator 05:18
High on a pedestal High on admiration Grovel at your feet Serve without hesitation Murder of your own kind Live the lie untold From a seed to a tree Your vendetta will unfold (Chorus) Tyrant, dictator Ruler, annihilator Tyrant, dictator Ruler Go without and starve For your greater cause Hang on to your every word Bask in the applause Blindly to the slaughter The lambs marching along Forward to Annihilation The world just watches on (Repeat Chorus)
5.
Screaming black hate Crawling inside my heart Destiny preplanned A life soon falls apart Funeral dirge is number one With a bullet on my chart Whisper into darkness Your final prayer Amen (Chorus) God forgive you Because I can't Your time has come Judgement day my friend That's right, payback And the living end Here is where your past Comes back to you Taunting you for all eternity (Repeat Chorus)
6.
Another late night in this house Lying still without a sound, here we go again Eyes wide open the madness begins There's something lurking in the black Here I am under attack Another long night lies ahead Knowing something wants me dead (Chorus) Sometimes I'm thinking that maybe This paranoia's making me crazy But my life's no walk in the park When I'm living with the devil in the dark (Repeat Chorus) Up from the bed across the floor My legs are weak, my vision poor Then reaching for the knife Not going down without a fight Can't stop the ringing in my head Can't stop the feeling of this dread With future in my hands I'm about to make my final stand (Repeat Chorus) My heart is racing the end is near I have to overcome my fear In the blackness of the dark Anticipation tearing me apart Walk to the mirror hastily What is the source, what can it be Look in the mirror's reflection to see I see the devil, the devil is me (Repeat Chorus)
7.
Another daybreak draws near Hundreds of years have passed me by I grow weary of existence No tears of blood fall from my eyes See my suffering Another abomination before God A foot soldier spawned from hell For I am damned for all time For I have no soul to sell (Chorus) And now I yearn for the time I will burn Burn in the light, free from sight Come with me and be free Free from the light, free from sight for all time Look into my darkened eyes Feel the hunger from within An empty vessel left behind Where once my mortal soul dwelled in See my suffering Trapped in a world I truly miss Led by the thirst, condemned to kill To drink the life's blood of mankind To drink until I've had my fill (Repaeat Chorus)
8.
Time and time I've run it through my head All these years have found me dead A lost soul, nothing more or less I put my spirit to the test Climb the walls to reach my freedom To go beyond this prison life Run so hard I've got to beat the clock Again this time shut down the rock (Chorus) I'm ready, ready to go I'm ready, ready to go Once again I've got to escape this place In my cell no time to waste It's 1964 all over again I set my course, won't break or bend I want to get out of the hell I'm in I see the light time to begin Alcatraz it is my hell one earth A tortured soul for all it's woth (Repeat Chorus)
9.
I had a dream last night While I was lyin' in my bed I felt the whole world was standing still And the moon was turning red I saw a sign in the sky "I have come to set you free There's a light shinin' brighter Shinin' down, down on me (Chorus) I saw fire, fire and brimstone Comin' down on my head I saw fire, fire and brimstone Comin' down on my head I looked around, saw eyes I heard a voice say "Come to me" I felt a rumblin' beneath my feet And the whole world was shakin' free Then the sun was standin' still Everything was dark, but I could see (Repeat Chorus) x2 I saw fire, fire, fire, fire and brimstone Comin' down on my head I saw fire, fire, fire and brimstone Comin' down on my head I saw fire, fire and brimstone Comin' down on my head
10.
Where's the hero's welcome that never came The unknown crippled and the maimed The soldier' spat upon and taunted Baby killers now unloved and unwanted Baby killers now unloved and unwanted (Chorus) America your sons needed you And in God's name what have you done Oh, how the mighty have fallen And for them you turn tail and run And for them that gave their own lives For the piece of mind that never came Fading away inside suicidal To escape the misery and the pain (Repeat Chorus) To give the ultimate sacrifice They made with their blood and their life Cowardice to repay bravery Betrayed by the land of the free (Repeat Chorus) x2 Oh how the mighty have fallen

about

This North Carolina five piece emerges on the scene with a nice slab of traditional heavy metal flavored doomy goodness. Citing Trouble and Pentagram as two of the bands main influences, these southern gentlemen certainly proudly wear it on their sleeves. With a solid rhythm section, duel guitars, and the Halford-esque vocals of Jeff Neal, Dogbane have put together one strong debut effort.

For fans of; Trouble, Pentagram, Brocas Helm, Manilla Road, and early Judas Priest. Hell, fans of real heavy metal…
