That Ghost 05:21
Yearning; for a feeling a time or a place A point when your mind was at peace What's that pain that you stay in your eyes? That Ghost - That you'll always chase That Ghost - From which you're running away Remember when you had such purpose A martyred cause to fling yourselves at Through periods of stagnation & loss Sometimes we find it hard to look back That Ghost - That you swore you'd never abandon That Ghost - Who fought against all with suck reckless abandon Building back up from ruins of depression Reeling from friends lost & found In our paths of regression; celebrated self abuse Trying to derive from our throes Some kind of lesson - Something of use That Ghost - Though not one of grievance Reluctantly accept what you've become That Ghost - Can you feel it? We'll meet it when we cease to run Worn - Forlorn - And... Blazed By The Sun

Lost Road 03:18
I start to breathe in life - Like you take the air Howling at apocalypse moons - Disregarding looming stares Crashing into the collective you - We'll share our deepest fears I feel it rising - A Bad Moon - Coming on Eclipsed Sun - Dying - A Full Moon - Coming up Sensing cataclysm soon - I wanna keep it secret; never utter beware At altered static kneeled - our hearts taste like perpetual youth We'll die 'young & fair - We'll taste the air I feel it rising - A Bad Moon - Coming on Eclipsed Sun - Dying - A Full Moon - Coming up Not from Golden Spiral - Nor Golden Dawn Instead finding 'the answer' coded in song Holding hands at the end of the world With a blood red Bad Moon risen I just wanna watch it explode Knowing that its what we've been working towards I just wanna implode - I wanna be there as it goes I want the sound to be.... All I know

The best part of staring into a mirror And seeing all that you despise Is you can smash it & change the picture Rinse the facade, your coat of lies Staring through your daily static from the sidelines crying Apathy is no excuse for the stagnance in your life Staring through your daily static from the sidelines crying Apathy is no excuse for the stagnance in your mind Do what you want with the bricks, taken from destruction's wall Just remember how you stood there, laughing as you watched it fall Laugh As You Watch Us Fall Created in the image of what? Mirror Puncher We'll castigate because we must. Smash Them All Destruction in the name of nothing. Mirror Puncher We'll burn it just to build something. Smash Them....All The best part of staring at a broken mirror And seeing shards of you you once despised Is that you can rebuild the frame And reconstruct; reconstruct these better lives The best part of staring at a broken mirror And seeing shards of you you once despised Is that you can rebuild the frame And reconstruct; reconstruct or paralyze.... Life.

Replacer 02:23
Lured by sprawling, unseen worlds I take the bait - It turns to shit Smash through morning's ruby quartz Illusions of impermanence Louder voices scream through me Shed this husk I want release We seek to be unlike ourselves Fuck our heads - Just to feel fixed When open doors just feel like cells The brightest futures - Turn to shit Leave This Place x5 Crucified on my escape - I'll fucking hammer the nails myself Crucified on my escape - I'll fucking hammer the fucking nails

Fall of Dove 05:11
Innate bomb blast - Atoms charge within my mind An escape from our own loathsome sway - Dead past, dead future Walk away - Stumble into early graves Fall of Dove - Nothing gold can stay The first lies we told ourselves; of our lives we made a maze Can't resuscitate the past - Blood boils behind my eyes Smash through your ideas of more - Self Destruction our driving force Some self-terminating course Fall of Dove - Purity our constant prey Demanding so much from life, that you ended up betrayed Was your silver worth the weight? Fall of Dove - And 'lo with death conquered I'll have from this life... All that I can take

Life's trials trace the shape of one wide open eye When towards the end, back together we blend - Drawn back to the sky Origins confuse & elude our sight With vague futures held over our heads, it's tears of blood we'll cry All these shared, secret sorrows will fall as rain Every hour, every birth every smile just serves to accumulate to pain Somebody once told me that we define ourselves by what we love What we love may define or deride us, we just may give ourselves up Given to an altar of silence, some faltered sense of peace Withdrawn & chained in waking sleep Life's trials remind me of eyes shut tight from fear We'll circle back on ourselves year after year Out of Fear - Submit To Fear Given to power - Give in to lack thereof Maybe we just never knew... Never knew what 'us' was So lets put out the eye of judgment, which cripples the everyday Let's reclaim these better lives, before Death comes crawling... For Debts To Be Paid Without a trace, life has vanished from your eyes Actualize some effort now or against ourselves, we'll race for lost time Beyond the fragile geometry of time & space Burn & steel yourselves now against vague futures before its too late

Amoebic form, balled up beast An aspiration realized as disbelief becomes the norm Keep me 'o chaos precursor, my gateway to idyllic worlds Unknown beings lack predestination No disregard for repercussion A creature born through peace & scorn Oxymoronic self-crowned kings Oh chaos incursion - Don't let my love fall short Systematic depression - Let the moralistic abort An idea at first which seems insane Explodes repeating in my brain I embrace it... And Swallow My Pain In a world of blinding light and innumerable angles We still see such rudimentary forms Eyes swim with the lucid disappointments of our waking We've dreamed effulgent moments, we're capable of so much more Road weary, regret-less the same On this path - Our dreams became actualized This highway hypnosis ingrained in our lives Standing upon Life's precipice Gazing out at the abyss Howling at that vast sea of black Screaming for meaning And Life. Howls Back And Life. Howls Back

No Arbiter 04:34
- There will be no peace in the valley in the shadow of your death. Though we ache for lack of you, your voice still whispers through every breathe - Heavy is the head that wears the crown Greater lies the weight of they who ignore their own. No Arbiter - Vacant Throne Will I walk through fields? Or just barren plains In these rotting pastures - The future is grey Heavy is the head that wears the crown Greater lies the weight of they who ignore their own. Dead King - Burning Throne Will I feel the glory? Where once it was so plain Or will these abstractions have spiraled my life into... Some Sick Game Threads Weave, Supporting no throne No false pretense of greater good No need for higher power, lets harvest our own No need for higher power, lets harvest our own Through black & white waters Through bogs of distant grey Boats full of ash - moored on far shores they wait Onwards & upwards - we ascend into one big dark room With a locked door... And one open window... Leap - Fall - Or Fly Burn Now... Or Die Living Burn Now Or Die

about

KRANG Chicago, Illinois

(BROKEN UP) Beginning in 2009 as a group of friends from various other projects paying tribute to the crust and stenchcore pioneers of old, KRANG has evolved in members, sound, structure and technical prowess. Now incorporating elements of burning spirits style hardcore, d-beat, and the chug-heavy riffs of 80's thrash metal, KRANG has found their own distinct brand of fiery punk rock. ... more
