(Verse 1) Burnt it out Cry and shout Squandered all the options Turned about Feel the weight Separate Demons taunt and mock Closet close and lock Suffocate Then the help has all withdrawn Though the battle rages on They see evil’s breaking in Confidence is fading when… (Chorus) Darkness falls on me Brings me to my knees Back is turned you flee Until darkness, falls on to you (Verse 2) Broke and torn Cast out scorn Grasping aimless helpless Left alone to mourn Step this way Say you’ll pray When things headed south Speak both sides your mouth Please just stay Then the help has all withdrawn Though the battle rages on They see evil’s breaking in Confidence is fading when… (Chorus) Darkness falls on me Brings me to my knees Back is turned you flee Until darkness, falls on to you (Bridge) Come out from the shadows Help me lift this burden that brings me high to low You could gain the whole world You could turn a blind eye and still could lose your soul. (Chorus) Darkness falls on me Brings me to my knees Fight until we’re free Until darkness, falls on to you Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

If Two 05:20
(Verse 1) Follow the leaders and chase our tails A house that’s divided is built to fail Sparkle the facets on the gem Sharp ones they cut and dull ones dim Look at the coin it has two sides Sword double-edged leads to demise (Pre-Chorus) Looking both ways cross-eyed Staring so hard but going blind Putting your best face on Two faced your head has always spun (Chorus) If 2 are masters who are you serving? Serving of one choose now this day Days are numbered are you persuaded, baited, jaded? (Verse 2) Travel is slow riding the fence Hoping for loss of consequence Spinning our wheels we lost our way Swerving causes our delay (Pre-Chorus) Looking both ways cross-eyed Staring so hard but going blind Putting your best face on Two faced your head has always spun (Chorus) If 2 are masters who are you serving? Serving of one choose now this day Days are numbered are you persuaded, baited, jaded? (Bridge) No man can serve 2 masters He’ll hate one and love the other He’ll hold to one and despise the other So who is your leader? What is ruling you? For me, there’s only one that I will bow (Chorus) If 2 are masters who are you serving? Serving of one choose now this day Days are numbered are you persuaded, baited, jaded? If 2 are masters who are you serving? Serving of one choose now this day Days are numbered are you persuaded, baited, jaded? Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

Fade 04:06
(Verse 1) It’s over before it even starts The more I mend it, it falls apart Clueless the riddle I know by heart Falling faster (Pre-Chorus) Hated Wasted Frustrated I know Stalling Crawling Falling faster (Chorus) You’re celebrating when I’ve hit the floor (I notice) You even begin to cheer I experience my greatest strength (you notice) When facing my greatest fear (Verse 2) Gaining speed while I chase my tail Been lifting chains now I’m not so frail It’s overwhelming but won’t prevail Falling faster (Pre-chorus) Hated Wasted Frustrated I know Stalling Crawling Falling faster (Chorus) You’re celebrating when I’ve hit the floor (I notice) You even begin to cheer I experience my greatest strength (you notice) When facing my greatest fear (Bridge) I’m digging down to get to the root And rip it out before it can grow It’s absolutely not absolute It’s taking me from what I know Finding my mark and I will not miss I can’t be held back I won’t be bound Getting to the bottom of this Before I rise above I’m going down (Chorus) You’re celebrating when I’ve hit the floor (I notice) You even begin to cheer I experience my greatest strength (you notice) When facing my greatest fear My greatest strength When I’m facing my greatest fear Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

Blindside 04:18
(Verse 1) Another day goes by Another war inside Turning back from all that I know To chase a world that’s growing cold It’s myself to blame, dragging me away Now I’m all alone inside this cell Though my sin has served me well It cannot fill the emptiness It can’t give strength for my weakness Will my guilt cease? Will I find release? (Chorus) But You held me near Not letting me fall So I’ll lay it all down again Erase it all Surrender sweet Laying at Your feet And I won’t look back now Lord, take me away (Verse 2) For all the times I’ve tried My strength has failed Walking with this weight that I wield Forgetting all that You’ve revealed Lord, I’ve failed You, And I’ve shamed You Do You hear my hollow words? Or are the cries in vain? I cannot take this loneliness Maybe death would end my pain? But I’ll reach for You, and I’ll kneel to You (Chorus) But You held me near Not letting me fall So I’ll lay it all down again Erase it all Surrender sweet Laying at Your feet And I won’t look back now Lord, take me away (Bridge) “My child, I will never leave you nor forsake you.” “For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone…repent and live!” Now is the time Today’s the day Don’t hesitate Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay Now is the time Today’s the day Don’t hesitate Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay Now is the time Today’s the day Don’t hesitate Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay Now is the time Today’s the day Don’t hesitate Tomorrow’s uncertain you cannot delay Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

Prophetic 02:53
(Verse 1) You threw me in the furnace And I dance in the flame You fed me to the lion And now I wear it’s mane You gave me as a slave And now I run this place A giant tried to fight me A stone is in his face (Chorus) There is no Other way to explain Miracles The weary get strength Mystical And can do the Impossible (Verse 2) Challenge to set a blaze The wet is now drier I call from help from my source And now it rains fire Shackle me up in a prison A song has set me free I’ll conquer every conquest Who can be against me (Chorus) There is no Other way to explain Miracles The weary get strength Mystical And can do the Impossible (Bridge) Things are hardest multiplying Suffocating air poisons my soul Call from the deep below Show the unknown (Chorus) There is no Other way to explain Miracles The weary get strength Mystical And can do the Impossible Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

My Will 04:14
(Verse 1) We forfeit the answer And think that we’re better off alone Our ego’s a cancer Distort the goal to fit our own (Chorus) In all of our waiting for a call When we’d rather do nothing at all Despite the creating from the clay We twist and bend from the Hands as we pull away (Verse 2) Emotional treason We can’t tell ourselves we’re shameless In search for the reason Continue to wonder aimless (Chorus) All of our waiting for a call When we’d rather do nothing at all Despite the creating from the clay We twist and bend from the Hands as we pull away (Bridge/Chorus) All of our waiting for a call When we’d rather do nothing at all Despite the creating from the clay We twist and bend from the Hands as we get pull away This vessel is cracked emptied out Misused from years of pride and doubt It’s time to be broken start again Stop fighting against the Potter’s hands. I won’t pull away Form this lump of clay Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

(Verse 1) There is hope for those who live Righteous wicket conclusive Rushed to the exact same end Minutes hours days all spend You resided undecided Focus now is short sided Time to surrender your heart Time to realize who you are (Chorus) We fall in line Depending on the day No hiding, even in a shallow grave I resided undecided Change went underway We fall in line and see the judgment day (Verse 2) Die to live or live to die Follow truth or live a lie Gaining way or start to sink Forgotten within a blink They resided undecided Until truth was provided Tear it down or build it up Stay in slumber or wake up (Chorus) We fall in line Depending on the day No hiding, even in a shallow grave I resided undecided Change went underway We fall in line and see the judgment day (Bridge) Fallen lion living hound Below above ground Fallen lion living hound Below above ground Knowing this comes to a close Go where living water flows Earthquakes make and break the mountain range Shake things up change (Chorus) We fall in line Depending on the day No hiding, even in a shallow grave I resided undecided Change went underway We fall in line and see the judgment day Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

Haunting Me 04:09
(Verse 1) Sleeping, exhausted from sorrow Weakened by the thought of tomorrow. Seeking, resources burned on self Lonely despite being one of twelve And it’s in me Guilt and shame from abandon It’s haunting, help me Because I am… (Chorus) Feeling like something’s wrong inside Fears once lay to rest now take to flight Feeling like something’s gone inside Blinded by the darkness from the light (Verse 2) Hidden, from the acknowledgment Deny devotion as fraudulent Demons, they’re calling out my name They see weakness and they know my games And it’s in me Guilt and shame from abandon It’s haunting help me because I am… (Chorus) Feeling like something’s wrong inside Fears once lay to rest now take to flight Feeling like something’s gone inside Blinded by the darkness from the light (Bridge) Losing my life for the sake of saving it Revoke myself forcing this flesh to submit Losing my life for the sake of saving it Revoke myself forcing this flesh to submit To submit (Chorus) Feeling like something’s wrong inside Fears once lay to rest now take to flight Feeling like something’s gone inside Blinded by the darkness from the light From the light…from the light Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

12th Hour 04:02
(Verse 1) There’s give and there’s take It’s real or it’s fake I’m starting to drown in my doubt They see it, it shows You feed it, it grows I’m needing to find my way out Words meant to say Time ticked away I’m starting to drown in my doubt Trying to stand Foundation of sand I’m needing to find my way out (Chorus) Am I broke beyond repair? (Patch it up the pieces won’t stick) Is the load too much to bear? (Gratify I need the fix quick) Will it ever come to pass? (Holding on if I trip then I fall) Will survive, will I last? (The time is now, surrender all) (Verse 2) Part of the truth Completely confused I’m starting to drown in my doubt The pit in my gut Too big to throw up I’m needing to find my way out The patience to wait action, sedate I’m starting to drown in my doubt Cultivate waste Honor disgrace I’m needing to find my way out (Chorus) Am I broke beyond repair? (Patch it up the pieces won’t stick) Is the load too much to bear? (Gratify I need the fix quick) Will it ever come to pass? (Holding on if I trip then I fall) Will survive, will I last? (The time is now, surrender all) Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020

I Am 05:50
(Verse 1) You say I won’t be forsaken And I’ve tried to remain unshaken This burden I’m being overtaken Give me strength keep me from breakin’ Searching in the wind and in the flame Shuttering earth and it’s all the same Thinking this test should end quicker And then You say to me in a whisper (Chorus) I am the beginning and the end Creator of all here to hold your hand The Voice that’s calling out your name Be still because I am the I Am. (Verse 2) Victory comes in the depths of night Now that surrender ended the fight Emptiness of shell still remains But I resist pacifying pain Desperately trying to be seen Filthy hands are in need to be clean Coming close as I draw near to You Now the message it comes through (Chorus) I am the beginning and the end Creator of all here to hold your hand The Voice that’s calling out your name Be still because I am the I Am. (Bridge) And so realize You’re in the midst And so advise me on how to exist (Chorus) I am the beginning and the end Creator of all here to hold your hand The Voice that’s calling out your name Be still because I am the I Am. I am the beginning and the end Creator of all here to hold your hand The Voice that’s calling out your name Be still because I am the I Am. Monarchs to Oblivion © 2020
