Elagabalus 03:13
Through taste of glut, a new soul formed A permanent state of entitlement The master of pain and of pleasure A sinister bacchanal god I incite and inspire My oath, the masses Born in reverence Handed down, to create my will To heir is to understand the power, (the power) To rule overt and be unseen, (unseen) A foot print in blood (a foot print in blood), a faceless name (a faceless name) The slim shadow, a midnight mirage The tool of fear The tool of terror, my only friend I implore the world To fulfill, my darkest desires To shape a country, to shape a people I paint with blood and anguish, sculptures of rigor despair Behind my perfect image and beyond myself Another puppet revealed, a skinned. visceral. horror. Abandon yourself to the grossest pleasures and ungoverned fury I incite and aspire to my darkest desires Power corrupts one and all

Epoch 03:34
Whole cities have been built in my time Entire people have fallen or just barely survived We will live through death of ourselves countlessly Calculating the abyss to know why we race through our lives Inferring bliss when we feel we are dancing on knives We are living information to rebuild and remake are imprinted within We are the ever-changing dawn, the Relentless Injected into the folds of matter itself How do the epochs of the past converge to make their own sense in the vicious surge? What will the epoch of today reveal? A new set of selves or a cause to steal (as our own?) Calculating the abyss, injected into the folds of matter itself Wake from within take a breath of the unknown Then shed your skin and fulfill the Ouroboros How do the epochs of the past converge to make their own sense in the vicious surge? What will the epoch of tomorrow discover? Only fate understands what we uncover (of ourselves) Born from the void we assume our name We are the ever-changing dawn, the Relentless

A Drowning 04:15
In the depths of the ocean lies our capitol Submerged we spot the spires of light A sign and a map to the city below It's called us down for so long, finally we follow Leaving this world behind to take the course of honor divine Head close to succor and blind to what we know to be our broken halo Taken to the brink of sin dropped down to Dannoura again We know our way (the only way) Following the Path: Deluge and Awakening Leaving this world behind to take the course of honor divine Head close to succor and blind to what we know to be our broken halo Taken to the brink of sin dropped down to Dannoura again It's not the same (the only way) Following the Path: Deluge and Awakening From the depths of the ocean we will rise again Through cold black eyes we plot our design Looking up to the tide, we'll take our revenge

Relics 04:24
The things we've done, the things we've said All seem so small, in spite of it all Look towards the sky, look through these hands Makes it all so very small, in spite of it all *The crisp cold air of dawn makes reality a thin veil* *The clarity in the coming of day still seems fuzzy to me* Shapes form and warp with even a breath Exposing a fragile world under glass Unaware of what's above the surface slowly stirs Wind whipping dreams from its facade Our day begins again The things we've done, the things we've said All seem so small, in spite of it all Look towards the sky, look through these hands Makes it all so very small, in spite of it all Black clouds like impossible mountains loom Through their roots our cities form They shimmer ethereal through the haze Forgotten relics beneath their waves I look to you and I see a place that we belong Caught in the inversion of your eyes In this moment of peace I know you In this moment of peace I know you In this moment I know you as no one else will In this moment I know you as no one else will We meet where it's thin and time stands still A place where souls exist in twined We meet in the places between our lives A state of mind A shining light This moment of peace defines us Takes us to the edge of our world and binds us To each other we are bound To each other we are bound To each other we are bound The things we've done, the things we've said All seem so small, in spite of it all

Corona 04:52
To be contained and yet to shine A fixed point in space and time The duality naturally exposed Writhe and refract, pulse and dedact Taking to give and giving to take Forming an entity within my entropy A moment of thought The mistake of life forms Coalescing on the flotsam of my wake A smear on the wreckage in the ocean of my gravity What was a perfect machine becomes an inevitability For a near eternity I feed For a flawed forever I burn A smear on the wreckage in the ocean of my gravity What was a perfect machine becomes an inevitability The end is near (the end is here) I eat my heart, (stars torn apart) The bomb of ages reconstructs me Becoming all I know, consuming all I see, the ending is me Solitary and deformed (reformed) in the image of a dying god And then in the blink of an eye The antithesis realized I am undone and made one with the universal A void of infinite things, raw possibility Accepted/absorbed, perfected and stored forever *Transformed I wait for the end of time* *A mouth gasping for the light that's mine* *Once a god, a vision of pain* *Constantly creating the lasting flame* The end is near (the end is here) I eat my heart, (stars torn apart) The bomb of ages reconstructs me Solitary and deformed (reformed) in the image of a dying god Solitary and deformed (reformed) in the image of a dying god Hungry still, I unfold Violent wings on a backdrop of apparent nothing Transformed I wait for the end of time A cosmic crescendo, a solar scream

In the apocalyptic aftermath A jungle of debris The manufactured hulk voids patient Pulsing anonymity It's waiting for the hand of violence To break the silent free, break the silent free Human touch begins the cycle Death and rebirth will play their part The dust of ages motes around them Inferring the darkeness of our hearts We will always eat our dreams We will always fall apart Correct the future with our ignorance and flow back to the start The hideous dance begins again All the players stutter and start Here stands all our pride All life fades away The dust of ages motes around them Inferring the darkness of our hearts We will always eat our dreams We will always fall apart Desolation in abundance feeds our fierce design With cold and terrible intent We swarm to dismantle mankind The hideous dance begins again...

about

A Crime Of Passion Seattle, Washington

A Crime Of Passion's sound combines the jarring math metal Djent of bands like Meshuggah with melodic influence of groups like Deftones. Add to that a healthy dose of Melodeath inspired harmony and riffing with singing epic guitar leads and just maybe you can visualize what A Crime of Passion sounds like. Please listen and decide for yourself. ... more
