NOTE:
These demos were never meant to be released, and were pre-production scratch tracks meant to be used for laying out a rough version of the song before we began recording the final version. Changes have been made, lyrics have been altered, and there are left over scraps of soundbites and undesirable effects on parts. In other words, these demos are ugly. But we wanted to release these to give you a taste of things to come, and to encourage you that no one is a flawless musician. So go grab a cruddy microphone and start recording!

This particular song will not be rerecorded for the 2 part concept albums.
It stands on it's own. The original guitar parts were written by our ex-guitarist for his very first band from years ago. When he joined the band, we heard him playing it and decided to remake it and use it as our first song together, making the transition for him into the band an easier process. Although it's not our best song, we loved playing because of the story behind it. We may re-record it one day, but for now, the only way you can hear it is from this pre-prod demo, and from our videos from past shoes.

Lyrics for Zedis Lapedis
When you open your mouth, nothing comes out alive.
You praise God then stab him in the back with your tongue.
Your teeth are headstones marking a desolate grave.
Filth and blasphemy pulse within your lungs.
If your tongue refuses to speak the truth,
Then shut your mouth, or rip it out from your throat.
Your vulgarity is empty and meaningless, & the same goes for the void in your chest.
You have the power to give the dying life, but you only give them pain.
There is poison in your wells,
And cobras coiled in your mouths
You spit venom where you dwell,
Watching as your brothers drown.
Where is your love, where is your peace?
Why do you spread & breed so much hate?
We were meant to stop this from happening.
Our body is ripping limb from limb.
"What has happened to my family?
Where has your love gone, where is your unity?
When I come down to see your garden grow,
Will there be a harvest? Or will there be starvation?
When you stand before me to present every word you said,
Will there be rejoicing, or will there be regret?"
Don't you dare say I didn't warn you,
When you hear the last trumpet.
You will reap exactly what you sew,
and feed on what you grow.
God, curse us with truth.
Drown our hate with love.
