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

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

Mirror Puncher
03:34
|

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

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

Burn Now or Die Living
03:48

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

Life Howls Back
05:24
|
|

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

- 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

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.
