about
Spacey, suspenseful, yet cinematic...Featuring vocalist Wes Horton of Falling In Reverse and The Worst of Us, Apex is a concept single about an alien breaking out of Area 51, confronting the dystopian vibrations of 2020. Carefully combining atmospheric textures and synthesizers with hints of Asian instrumentation, Apex brings listeners on a thrilling, yet dynamic journey with a modern approach to the metalcore genre.
lyrics
2020 anno domini
They confirmed my existence
Subject 5-3-6, keep your distance
Am I the cure?
An abomination?
Experiment just for humanity?
Change bound by chains
With cuffs on these wrists
I will not be silenced
Reigns turned to games
Through bloodshed and valor
Brings the dawn of the apex
Breaking news, disorder ensues
Misinformed to cleanse your minds
Brace for impact, learn from the past
Your egos threaten the fate of mankind
Radiation, medication
Survival of the fittest
No signs of intelligent life
Isolation, suffocation
Substance after substance
Behold, the mighty human condition
Assimilate
Seven billion thoughts, there’s so much to learn
Desegregate
We’ve come too far to watch it burn
Desensitized to the changing of times
No voice of reason to start this treatment
Arithmetic of compassion ticks
Divide by zero, face the undefined
Layers of smoke cast over the valley
A blood red sun with no end in sight
The secrets they keep, they won’t let me sleep
Stand back and stand by, or we’re all gonna die
Change bound by chains
I see an arid wasteland
Where dreams go to die
Reigns turned to games
Living life through a screen
I just want to scream:
Free
Free me from this game
I’ve disengaged, disengaged
Be
Be the voice of change
Welcome to the new world order, new world order
