Obsidian Lyrics & Credits
OBSIDIAN
Written by Chris Bishop, Dan Ryan, Brandon Yeagley, Pat Seals
​
I am losing all my fights without a weapon
And every time I need a hammer I'm the nail
Now the doom is spreading out just like a cancer
Hiding every ugly scar under my veil
No one knows the
Shadow keeps my secrets
I will never
Ever let you in
Am I blinded by the light?
(Am I blinded?)
Will I ever get to see the sun again?
Am I guided by the night?
(Am I guided?)
I will never
Ever doubt obsidian
I’ve been swallowed by the mouth of the darkness
But from the ashes of my mind I have prevailed
All my ghosts are waiting here behind me
Will you say a prayer for
Every one I've failed
No one knows the
Shadow keeps my secrets
I will never
Ever let you in
Am I blinded by the light?
(Am I blinded?)
Will I ever get to see the sun again?
Am I guided by the night?
(Am I guided?)
I will never
Ever doubt obsidian
Never doubt obsidian
Am I blinded?
Am I blinded by the light?
Am I blinded by the light?
(Am I blinded?)
Will I ever get to see the sun again?
Am I guided by the night?
(Am I guided?)
I will never
Ever doubt obsidian
Never doubt obsidian
This is oblivion
Welcome obsidian

COME DOWN
Written by Chris Bishop, Dan Ryan, Brandon Yeagley, Pat Seals
​
Tossed into the Heavens
And the Garden of Eden
Left me for dead to get it right
​
It's a pity nobody wants to see
Now they're right in front of our eyes
​
Hey kid, settle down
Don't you know your head's up in the clouds
And you're never coming down
Yeah
(Get what you got you gotta get it now)
Hey kid settle down
Yeah you already know how
And the future is now
(Get what you got you gotta get it now)
​
Slipped into a hole in the earth
Where the demons go for the devil's curse
Clawing my way to the light
​
It's a pity nobody believes me
Now they're right in front of our eyes
​
Hey kid settle down
Don't you know your head's up in the clouds
And you're never coming down
Yeah
(Get what you got you gotta get it now)
​
Hey kid settle down
Yeah you already know how
And the future is now
​
What do I have to say
To give these secrets away?
Who do I have to blame
To make shame away?
Give these secrets all away
Oh, to take my shame away
​
Hey kid, settle down
Don't you know your head's up in the clouds
And you're never coming down
Yeah
(Get what you got you gotta get it now)
​
Hey kid settle down
Yeah you already know how
And the future is now
(Get what you got you gotta get it now)
​
NOTHING
Written by Chris Bishop, Dan Ryan, Brandon Yeagley, Pat Seals
​
Don't think I ever told ya
Don't think I ever really said
Bur you're tired of hearing it
​
Don't thing I ever listened
Don't think I ever really cared
But you're tired of sayin' it
​
Words eaten
Teeth bleedin'
Took a bite of my heart
​
Eyes blurry
Crashed in a hurry
Lookin' out of control
​
In the darkest of nights
With a flashing of white
May se hope to shed some light
​
We all bleed
So we can feel alive
And wonder why we all feel nothing
​
Killin time
Chasing moonlight
Runnin un-til
You to find the day
When you feel nothing
​
Nothing
Give me more nothing
Nothing
Nothing
​
I guess I never noticed
I guess I never even heard
Things better left unsaid
​
I guess I'll never know and
I guess I never really learned
​
Heart pounding
Mouth foaming
For a taste of my screams
​
Empty stares
In living nightmares
This haunting reality
​
In the darkest of nights
With a flashing of white
May be hope to shed some light
​
We can all bleed
So can we feel alive
And wonder why we all feel nothing
​
Killin time
Chasing moonlight
Runnin un-til
You to find the day
When you feel nothing
​
When all the world has nothing left
They wanna kill it 'til it's down to its last breath
​
We all bleed
So can we feel alive
And wonder why we all feel nothing
​
Killin time
Chasing moonlight
Runnin un-til
You to find the day
When you feel nothing
​
Yeah you feel nothing
yeah nothing
Oh nothing...
​
FROM THE GROUND
Written by Chris Bishop, Brandon Yeagley, Dan Ryan, Pat Seals
​
I ate from the fountain
Drank from the vine
And I started from something
​
I soaked in the river
Bathed in the brine
And I stole it from nothing
​
But if I ever came
Face to Face with
My own heart of stone
I'd search to find the cure
Underneath my always soothing tomb
​
I'll keep company all alone
​
Get out if you're looking for a fight
(I'm burying the axes to stay alive)
Get on in, yeah
I'm looking for ride
(But you gotta leave from the ground to fly)
​
We fell from the dirt and
Grew from the sky
The eye blinding the light
​
But if I ever came
Face to face with
My own heart of stone
I'd search to fine the cure
Underneath my always soothing tomb
​
I'll keep company all alone
​
Get out if you're looking for a fight
(I'm burying the axes to stay alive)
Get on in, yeah
I'm looking for ride
(But you gotta leave from the ground to fly)
​
We fell from the dirt and
Grew from the sky
The eye blinding the light
​
But if I ever came
Face to face with
My own heart of stone
I'd search to fine the cure
Underneath my always soothing tomb
​
I'll keep company all alone
​
Get out if you're looking for a fight
(I'm burying the axes to stay alive)
Get on in, yeah
I'm looking for ride
(But you gotta leave from the ground to fly)
​
No I can't keep my head
And I can'tkeep the sky from crumblin'
​
Get out if you're looking for a fight
(I'm burying the axes to stay alive)
Get on in, yeah
I'm looking for ride
(But you gotta leave from the ground to fly)
(You gotta leave from the ground to fly)
(You gotta leave from the ground to fly)
DISAPPEAR
(Written by Chris Bishop, Brandon Yeagley, Pat Seals, Dan Ryan )
​
When the sky’s not clear
The sun is still there
Seeds are planted
In times of fear
Tastes so bittersweet
This dirty water
Keeps us complete
The things we overcome
Never kill our soul
When the leaves start to wither
The soil is soaked in decay
But love, love will overcome
And fear doesn’t live here
Even though I’m not there
You know I never disappear
Never disappear
Never…
Don’t let your pretty head worry
They try to keep you scared
And if your face down in the dirt
Then your spirit’s prepared
You can’t fly if you don’t pay the price
But whole time they weigh you down with lies
Cause love, love will overcome
And fear doesn’t live here
Even though I’m not there
You know I never disappear
Never disappear
Never…
Freedom has always been here
Since the first day we inhaled
When they make you lost
Yeah they’ve already won
They’ve already won…
And we’ll never let them
Cause love, love will overcome
And fear doesn’t live here
Even though I’m not there
You know I never disappear
Never disappear
Never…
​
I AM METAL
Written by Chris Bishop, Dan Ryan, Brandon Yeagley
​
Survived the witch's spell
Back from the gates of Hell
​
Laughed at the demons
who came to take me down
Forged from the fire
Walked on the barbed wire
On my way to the grave
​
Rolled like a wheel
Skin hard as steel
​
I am Metal
Riding through the night with the Devil
Signed a contract in blood
To live forever
​
I am metal
​
Caught in the widow's seb
Thrown like a flaming head
Crawled up from 5 feet just like the living dead
Stared at Medusa's glare
Stone faced without a care
In death I feel soalive
​
Rolled like a wheel
Skin hard as steel
In the blackest of nights
I'll eep on this road til the end
Along with the shadow
My only friend
​
I am Metal
Riding through the night with the Devil
Signed a contract in blood
To live forever
​
I am Metal
I am Metal
​
Rolled like a wheel
Skin hard as steel
In the blackest of nights
I'll eep on this road til the end
Along with the shadow
My only friend
​
I am metal
And I ride through the night
Signed a contract in blood
To live forever
​
I am Metal
I am Metal
​
INTERLUDE
Under the gray sprawl of gathering clouds,
the village stirred uneasily as the goddess appeared, her presence a whisper on the wind. With eyes glowing like storm-lit seas, she spoke to the gathered crowd, her voice resonant with the power of coming rain. "Heed my words," she warned, "a deluge comes to cleanse, to reset the bones of this land." Faces turned upwards, feeling the first heavy drops, and just as she promised,
"And the flood will wash it all away."
​
THE FLOOD
Written by Chris Bishop,
Brandon Yeagley, Dan Ryan
​
There we go chasing a ghost
Into the eye of a nightmare
Hey, I can’t even breath
But I’m walking on thin air
Then she came from the sun to warn everyone
That the Heavens above are coming undone
The rain will wash it all away
In the ground below
The blood runs cold
In the flood we’ll find our way home
Hear the screams
Lost in a dream
But you know right where to find me
Hey, I’m barely alive
But at least I can say I survived
Then she came from the sun to warn everyone
That the Heavens above are coming undone
The rain will wash it all away
In the ground below
The blood runs cold
In the flood we’ll find our way home
And if they find my bones and no headstone
Let me fall into the unknown
And if you stare into the face of the darkness
Fear will find its way out the door
And if your eyes keep looking for nothing
You’ll never see anything more…
All we ever wanted was to know the truth
And all we ever needed is to know that we’re all doomed
All we ever wanted was to know that we’re all doomed
In the flood we’ll find our way home
In the ground below
The blood runs cold
In the flood we’ll find our way home
(We’ll find our way back home)
And if they find my bones and no headstone
Let me fall into the unknown
(We’ll fall into the unknown
Find my way back home)
​
ANCIENT DRUID CROWN
Written by Chris Bishop,
Dan Ryan, Brandon Yeagley
​
Into the mist, by light of the moon
If I shall fall I’ll meet my doom
They want my head
For words of hope I’ve spoken
From my heart
They only want us sick and broken
Is it any wonder why we’re cold
Is it any wonder why we still fear the unknown
It’s so hard to feed it
When they don’t believe it
I’ve got faith cause I found
The Ancient Druid Crown
And I’ve got faith cause I found
The Ancient Druid Crown
Above the oaks, the heavenly light
Guides my way and shines so bright
Let them try to drag me away
With my new found God
I am no longer afraid
They want my soul
For spreading gospels of the ancients
Crack my skull
For the jealous king’s repayment
A love so bold
Always met with disapproval
The time has come
To show the world we’re never leavin’
Is it any wonder why we’re lost
Is it any wonder why they’ve cursed us to the frost
It’s so hard to feed it
When they don’t believe it
I’ve got faith cause I found
The Ancient Druid Crown
If they want to try and tear us down
They can burn our secrets to the ground
But from the sun they cannot keep us
Our spirits live through the ages
Is it any wonder why there’s war
Is it any wonder why we’re still so unpure
But it’s so hard to feed it
When they don’t believe it
And I’ve got faith cause I found
The Ancient Druid Crown
​
​
HEAD OF THE BEAST
(Written by Chris Bishop,
Brandon Yeagley, J.D. )
​
The world is fading day by day
We watch it all fall and slip away
But when the flood comes, if there’s nothing to say
Life will be lost and we’ll be drowning in decay
Calling believers
Seeking truth seekers
Summon the Goddess
To stop the death dealers
Out of the sea
Staring at me
With eyes that turn to stone
Bring me the head of the beast
The thunder’s rolling
The tide is creeping in
Don’t know if I’ll be here when it begins again
I hear him laughing as he stands atop the rain
Ready to wash his hands clean of the pain
Calling believers
Seeking truth seekers
Summon the Goddess
To stop the death dealers
Out of the sea
Staring at me
With eyes that turn to stone
Bring me the head of the beast
I am the one
Fallen son
From the abyss
Deep in the mist
Out of the sea
Staring at me
With eyes that turn to stone
Bring me the head…
Bring me the head of the beast
​
WHITE RABBIT, BLACK HOLE
Written by Chris Bishop, Brandon Yeagley,
Dan Ryan
​
I cannot breathe
Since you took the air from me
I cannot sleep
Within memories of a dream
I didn’t mean to find
The raging war inside my mind
No longer can I deny
So chew me up
Just to spit me out
I went looking for myself
Found someone else
Cause I’ve been chasing a white rabbit
Down a Black Hole
Breathe into me whispers of future memories
So I can see who I can become to be
I didn’t mean to find
The raging war inside my mind
No longer can I deny
So chew me up just to
Spit me out
I went looking for myself
Found someone else
Cause I’ve been chasing a white rabbit
Down a Black Hole
A dream-like trance
I search to find
To rid these fears inside my mind
They can only control me
If I don’t I want to be free
I want to be free..
I went looking for myself
Found someone else
Cause I’ve been chasing a white rabbit
Down a Black Hole
Be careful what you wish for
Learn to embrace the struggle
Be afraid of what you run from
Your demons catch up with you your demons will catch up
​
HAPPINESS
Written by Chris Bishop, Brandon Yeagley,
Dan Ryan
I learned before
Skies can hide the storm
Some times the wind will blow
If you feel like you’re lost in time
On an endless mountain to climb
Don’t let the rainy days cloud your mind
In the light of the moon
Flowers bloom
The sun rises soon
And flames heal wounds
​
Happiness ain’t the end of our song
It’s just the one my soul keeps singing
To keep me holding on
And happiness ain’t the destination
It’s just the name of this road I’m travelin’ on
Travelin’ on
Fears feed the lies
Forgot the answers of life
When we’re broke we pay the price
There’s no in between
Won’t be a living memory
Found why I was born
Now it’ll be the death of me
Even in the end
Scars will mend
No need to pretend
If you find love, my friend
Happiness ain’t the end of our song
It’s just the one my soul keeps singing
To keep me holding on
And happiness ain’t the destination
It’s just the name of this road I’m travelin’ on
Travelin’ on
