UNIFIED (The Black Dragon Fire) V The road is paved with good intentions Shaken is my core Broken is my soul A life design by my decisions Comes with consequence With no defense Self-doubt always consuming And now it's only worse To burn within this curse Bridge/chorus T his is my new reality This frail state of my sanity Triplets Every step I try taking Below The roots are dried and breaking The Deadwood on the ground, only serves as kindling Bridge/chorus2 This is my new reality This frail state of my sanity The brittle trees set to flame With only me to blame Build up Every mistake reveals another crack beneath my feet And within you feel the suffering Every mistake reveals another Human underneath And what our imperfections bring Every mistake reveals another Chance to face defeat And rise from the pain unified in humility

V1 You, have seen the horizon breaking But have you witnessed the bleeding sky descend You, have seen The Earth itself cracking But can you fathom the depth It has blackened You, have seen the fields, as they're burning But have you felt the struggle to catch your breath You, have seen depression consuming But do you know what it takes to face down death Bridge You only see What's meant to be seen While now within lies something of burden Chorus God grant me the eyes of the owl To navigate through the dark within To face down that which waits in the shadows Bridge 2 All anyone can see is this shell Even while within we face our hell As the statue crumbles with time All it takes is one crack due to design V2 You, have seen the oceans consuming But have you held on to the ship as it's sinking You, have felt The Earth as it's quaking But have stood below as buildings are falling Bridge There is No way For someone to comprehend Without the burden of knowing their demons Chorus God grant me the eyes of the owl To navigate through the dark within To face down that which waits in the shadows God grant me the eyes of the owl To navigate the chaos that is To face down that which waits in the shadows The dark that spawns from within

V1 There was not A single Doubt in my mind There will always be another burden defined Or to define The trauma The violence Will always have some kind of consequence The pain engrained in time V2 It's been said There are times You may question this life And all the pain that has consumed you The mirror holds the truth Now sever Internal Attachment To lifeless validation Instead of being human Chorus In desperate times There is compromise of self-delusion In burdened eyes There are cracks of resolution V3 With battles And carnage We see Collateral Damage... damage everything Including our own psyche So, with this Confession, I speak words of remorse And with words carve a different course And begin to mend what was broken Mend what was broken Chorus 2 In desperate times There is compromise of self-illusion In burdened eyes There are cracks of resolution Entangled in bloody vines Which Pull apart your very core Take heed of the signs The Shattered Endure
4.
V1 It's so easy to give in To the tide of emotion It's such an unfair twist in fate To have no key for my own gate Bridge It feels so good to bleed out Chorus The fall Consumes us all And so, we crawl To become Calm and collected V2 The way We weave Our pain Our seeds Into Vendettas of suffering But slow Your breath Beneath The death Of time Ahead a brutal ending Bridge It feels so good to bleed out, Hatred infused words of doubt In everything In everyone Chorus The fall Consumes us all And so, we crawl To become Calm and collected 2x
5.
V1 There is no way to see beyond The present I'm forced to dwell upon But now through instinct and focus My thoughts begin to manifest Sub-bridge What the hell is this Bridge You can't tell me I wanted this This Pain in life or even to exist When to survive I compromise My very soul Chorus The monolithic origin Of matter from design Blueprints and schematics conjured From the tempered mind Interlude This world has its own objective It tears me down It's as if it's trying to deter anyone against the crown Could this mean it's all deception And I am the key To unlocking that which stands between life and reality V2 I now control instinct and focus Now prepare to bear witness Sub-bridge 2 I know what this is It’s what I say it is Chorus 2 There is a monolithic origin Of matter from design Blueprints and schematics conjured From the tempered mind The world is now conforming To my very will Now bring forth all that is In heaven and hell
6.
V1 The Fate of those who are alone In the dark far from throne Will chance the gauntlet threaded With glass and stone With view filtered through disease, The fear is ever-consuming As the mind constructs A faceless entity HEAVY BRIDGE The past creates A fear that resonates In time Decline to see that which stands inside Enough of this Or you may not exist No need To reject The silence will reflect CHORUS In scars are memories In pain we bury the seed That which grow into fear So life becomes the nightmare Shed the skin of secrets sewn All behind the shrouds unknown That we seek to know damn well Why life is a living hell INTERLUDE As we terraform our world into something we want There is a risk of tearing apart that which we are neglecting To pursue beyond the purview Is in who we are But putting assumption to paper Can take the mind too far Can take the mind too far V2 With view filtered through reprieve The fear no longer looming The mind of the still A strength is now forging
7.
V1 Is nothing sacred in this world We scream at the sky As a virus runs its course Such is the Will of time Bridge Blunt force trauma Or the slow fade We've seen time Come for everyone, everything Chorus Time waits for no one To stone it has been scribed As crooked hands grip A weathered wooden scythe Time serves as council To face down the fear Life ever fleeting The heart is beating Till we can't hear Breakdown The time has come We are done Without any warning... Our time will come V2 Is there even reason to breathe And force-feed the lie Everything is under control Such is the Will of time Bridge Blunt force trauma Or the slow fade We've seen time Come for everyone, everything Interlude I've come to you. Wishing for an end There are few things in this life that I believe in I've come to you. Wishing for an end The only constant there to find is with life comes death Chorus Breakdown The time has come We are done Without any warning... Our time will come The time is now I knew somehow This wasn't meant to last The time is now
8.
Chorus In Memory of ... who I used to be A mind seething with misery, The damage bleeds out the hate in me In Memory of who I used to be V1 There was a time when indecision Wasn't contingent on being the same And of the mind when being defiant Wasn't reliant On someone to blame 2x Bridge Blasphemy and cigarettes Every deep breath caused stress V2 It is a crime that our existence A persistence In face of pain And of the mind to survive the battle Endure the rattle As we suffocate It has been said build from foundation Through frustration Steady the rise But in the neglect rooted in sorrow The build is hollow And so to demise Interlude The Beams splintering The floors shifting The Windows yield and explode The Metal collapsing The walls are cracking And now to fear the unknown Chorus In Memory of ... who I used to be A mind seething with misery The damage bleeding the hate in me In Memory of ... who I used to be
9.
V1 Is there a scope of reference you would understand, From minor inconvenience To World altering collapse Homicide, genocide, murder of the innocent Savagery, brutality Then deny the violence Chorus There is a virus of conquest Inside, consuming that which can give me rest (Give me rest) V2 Is there an ample reason To covet No matter the cost, To break the peaceful treason With vile intent, Armada Homicide, genocide, murder of the innocent Savagery, brutality Then deny the violence And portray repentance And display pestilence And breed malevolence Chorus There is, a virus of conquest Inside consuming, that which can give me rest V3 (partial) Homicide, genocide, murder of the innocent Savagery, brutality Then deny the violence Chorus A bleeding wound comes to fester The peace will fall to the Aggressor Within, a pain now corrupts the soul And so an emptiness takes control There is, a virus of conquest Inside consuming, that which can give me rest
10.
V1 Anomalous nature of impression (Beneath the veins are slowing) Left in the clay by expression (Survey the plains of atrophy) V2 Rebellious labeled for concession (Far easier than tearing apart the mind) Accept existence with condition (And bring fear to what you find) Bridge When nothing I feel Is made of something real Chorus What it takes to walk alone To be the warden of my mind To claim a vessel with no soul And build merit in time Every battle that I face Every road that I decide Every conflict I embrace Is dealt with strength internalized Internalized V3 Continuous search for mechanism (To validate the symphony) Only focused on the schism (And failing to hear the melody) V4 Anomalous nature of impression (Beneath the veins are slowing) Left in the clay by expression (Survey the plains of atrophy) Bridge 2 When nothing I feel Is made of something real Corrupted This life On the edge of the knife Chorus
11.
V Nightmares and visions with no end Taint reality with fiction, Lens flares distort the fears within So to reaction in decision Bridge Drive the stake into the Beating heart to kill the Emptiness that consumes Everything With no rhyme or reason To assume the treason Conjured from observing Everything Chorus Knowing And going, into the unknown Sewing Foreboding Fragments are gone Broken And Sullen Blood from the chest Reveal The frail We lay to Rest Segway Anything could reside behind the door Fear incarnate Anyone could be behind the door I just know it V BRIDGE CHORUS Lead out We all have fear of the unknown And attempt to not get lost and postpone Lies and self-destructive fallacies We all have fear of the unknown But don't get lost in assumptions grown Phantom struggle and induced anxieties
12.
Intro I've lost so much It's hard to bring to mind What was there before I cannot seem to define V1 Trying to compare Who I thought I knew To the one in the mirror Who the hell are you V2 Distorted in my thinking Now gives weigh to clarity No more battles breaking Facing adversity CHANGE UP Defeated Completed me BRIDGE There are too many prophets Seeking validation Through the juxtaposition Of a hollow reflection There are too many vultures Hunting a realization Through the juxtaposition Of a hollow reflection CHORUS Kneeling down before the grave I lay Yielding to the lessons in which I predicate Bleeding out that in which, what once was The identity that one can become BRIDGE CHORUS 2x
13.
V1 We seek the path .... to the fortress of solitude To see the dangers .... beyond a soil feud The tear-stained eyes now, blur the disease Born In the aftermath, screams for peace Bridge 1 Falling, into a trap of our own making Ignoring, the pain in our neglecting CHORUS The tree tops sway, As force comes down upon them Debris now frayed, As hate befalls forsaken The wind and rain, Collide with indecision The searing pain, Of fates retribution V2 We seek the path....in our visions of magnitude To face the daggers... Hidden in the truth We are the muse For self-abuse Interlude Scattered moments that define imagery Events now collapse into a journaled decree Document and ledger now chronicle the fall Of the human right to fail and accept fault Bridge 2 There is no way to prepare For the breaking of illusion CHORUS 2x

about

"Unto the Wolves" is a Hard Rock/ Metal project with one goal: to inspire tolerance and acceptance of all races, religious beliefs, and cultures. A different culture, religion, historical event, or location inspires every song created during the recording year.
The songs are not based on these topics but rather serve as inspiration for the ideas behind the songs. The music is riddled with driving rhythmic guitars, a deep bass, and hard-hitting drums accompanied by melodic but aggressive vocals. You'll also find an additional instrument or two in multiple songs based on the subject matter and inspiration.
In an effort to combine these ideas into a single project in a respectful manner, each topic is examined from multiple points of view. The project truly offers a unique perspective on how music can be inspired by the way people choose to live.
