lyrics
In my glittering eye, the great Atlantic spread before
He turned to me and said: "We're off to do great things kid"
Man the sail! Tow the line!
This journey's blessed, my goal divine
I'll be the hero of my time
Things were never meant to end this way, in my dreams
Scattered screams from marching ghosts, they wake me
Visions of what once was meant to be, in my dreams
Tattered sails and unmarked soul, they break me
Starlight guides the hungry bones, this plot is marked down for my glory
"What he said, tell me what he said!?"
Charred godless creatures oh they in unknown tongues
Heads will roll! Crushing blow!
This journey's cursed and paved with lies
I can't rewind the mother's cries
Things were never meant to end this way, in my dreams
Scattered screams from marching ghosts, they wake me
Visions of what once was meant to be, in my dreams
Tattered sails and unmarked soul, they break me
Hey! Hey!
Fire and brimstone
Hey! Hey!
Welcome to the white man's perverse horror show
As above, so below
Headless bodies line my gallows pole
Twelve million perished souls
Who's names I will never know
Be it heaven, be it hell
Life like ballast waters flushed away
Things were never meant to end this way, in my dreams
Scattered screams from marching ghosts, they wake me
Visions of what once was meant to be, in my dreams
Tattered sails and unmarked soul, they break me
He turned to me and said: "We're off to do great things kid"
Man the sail! Tow the line!
This journey's blessed, my goal divine
I'll be the hero of my time
Things were never meant to end this way, in my dreams
Scattered screams from marching ghosts, they wake me
Visions of what once was meant to be, in my dreams
Tattered sails and unmarked soul, they break me
Starlight guides the hungry bones, this plot is marked down for my glory
"What he said, tell me what he said!?"
Charred godless creatures oh they in unknown tongues
Heads will roll! Crushing blow!
This journey's cursed and paved with lies
I can't rewind the mother's cries
Things were never meant to end this way, in my dreams
Scattered screams from marching ghosts, they wake me
Visions of what once was meant to be, in my dreams
Tattered sails and unmarked soul, they break me
Hey! Hey!
Fire and brimstone
Hey! Hey!
Welcome to the white man's perverse horror show
As above, so below
Headless bodies line my gallows pole
Twelve million perished souls
Who's names I will never know
Be it heaven, be it hell
Life like ballast waters flushed away
Things were never meant to end this way, in my dreams
Scattered screams from marching ghosts, they wake me
Visions of what once was meant to be, in my dreams
Tattered sails and unmarked soul, they break me

about
Wings Denied Washington, D.C.
Like Prog? Like Metal? This is the band for you. Don't like prog? Don't like metal? That's okay. Still the band for you. As a band, we strive to be a figure of balance, with the de-tuned riffs of djent, the atmosphere of neo-prog, and the time-signature modulation of progressive rock and metal, while still maintaining a focused and melodic centric base of coherent songwriting. ... more
