This onward vessel, it’s heading south, Can't voice anything, with a rotting mouth, Become numb from anger, mere helplessness, I can’t find the strength, for I’m lost inside. Greed for more, Never satisfied, We break our backs for you, You never tried, Spine on the front line, Only tears, Flood me with an escape, So I can drown the fears. Can’t bare the pain that was thrusted upon me, Corrosion under my skin. I wish I could just erase you, and calm all this hurt, I hated having to find my mind, mind in the dirt. With medusa's stare, a death defying glare, Manipulation of the normal and fair, Give me a chance to be free'd from your curse, Before this realm emerges to worse. Never gaze upon horizon lights, cause it will start again, those grieving nights, Living on borrowed time, no more backs behind you. The last thing you see before escaping me, Eye for a eye, eye for an eye, Life's blade deep within your spine.

What is this thought, what's it supposed to mean, Tell me now, this shit ain't clear to me. It seems today we're supporting the cause, Then tomorrow the world comes to a pause. Blinding light shoots across the sky, Mushroom clouds speak of complete deny, The earth is trembling from some words on a page, How fucked we are, in this day and age. I can't help but feel sick, with blood curled, As humanity brings new souls into this goddamn world. What is this thought, what's it supposed to mean, Tell me now, this shit ain't clear to me. It seems today we're supporting the cause, Then tomorrow the world comes to a pause. Nothing but pain as the day gets late, Tomorrow's monstrosities, so heavy, so great, Manipulation to fear and consume, Forget about the love, about the love, Introduce a new kind of tomb. When fire meets steel, And the world hasn't yet paid, Disbelieving Disbelieving When fire meets steel, And the world hasn’t yet paid Freakish followings, Destroy what ancestors have laid. Bodies on the ground, Smoke on the streets, Ancient scripts, modern day, Empty and weak. When fire meets steel, And the world hasn’t yet paid. Unbelievers.

Any last words? To the graves of the grey? To this day, we still remain real, Not unlike, the way life was, Ages and centuries before us. This is an oath of survival, the fight for the existence of life. Place your hands on an oath of survival, the crime of the existence of life. Our dying days, are forever getting closer, For the end, it holds me, beneath a beaming light. The fight to survive takes me on, I’m battling the uphill battle, will I make it through with the backing of rights. This is an oath of survival, the fight for the existence of life. Place your hands on an oath of survival, the crime of the existence of life. Bow down and swear your oath, to the master of life. Bow down, bow down, to the master. What you gonna do? Malice blasphemy. My hands held high as my voice screams out, Nothing can defend, the graves of the grey. Beyond the conscience, of humanity. It's an inflicted reality, its because our futures been disgraced.

Seems to be, the way it's going to stay, Heads in the clouds with mental decay, An endless cycle of fear and control, Ignorant and blind to our reality with fake toll. Learning every way, to pay the price, The price to reason with the enemy, so depraved. Stop making sure you fit in with whats new, Dig deeper, we are not supposed to have any clue, Only just a man, haunted by cancer, Your living a lie, for the other side ain't fancier, An endless cycle of fear and control, Ignorant and blind to our reality with fake toll. It's knowledge of the wicked, deceitful, Designed our vision, and painted a life. It's what we've got, it's who we are, Don't deny the manipulation of life's lower power. Summon your strength, The end is near, I see your face painted with fear, The knowledge of the wicked. Chaos unfolds, The lies we're told become the chains that bind our souls, When it gets dark, You know it does, Look to the light, it's in your heart It fights with us, The knowledge of the gifted. Empowers us, The war is here, And so we fight, we overcome, We overcome. It’s knowledge of the wicked. It’s deceitful. We fight, we fight. We overcome.

I stuck with you, always we, Ignored the fact that your mind wasn't free, Even though you delivered so much for me, I can't stand and wait for self centred greed. I spent so long, obliged to your cries. It's only made me gasp for air within my flooded mind. Restless nights, begin to paralyse. Until I wake up, make sense to the lies. Begin to paralyse. I'm bouncing back, more than before, I won't let anything cloud the goal anymore, There comes a time, to draw that line, That means stand up, and claim what's mine. That means stand up, and claim what’s mine. No better way to say goodbye, Than to feel life's blade, in your spine. Born into this, I live for this, I'll have your back till the end, But I'll kill for this. Armies of hundreds cant break the chains, That keeps me grounded, and free from pain. Armies of hundreds cant break the chains, I’m free from fucking pain. No better way to say goodbye, Than to see the pain, deep within your fucking eyes. No better way to say goodbye, Than to see the pain, deep within your fucking eyes

I have come to realise that im only trapped within myself. Brain waves, heart strings, never truly seeking wealth. Each day should not be a prison, for I’ve never been sentenced. Even though these crimes and sins are somewhat of an ambiance. I’ve been alleged to the block, forced down by hates head, Drop the blade, make horrific contact, Be sure that energy is fucking dead. Shut out my thoughts, shut out my thoughts, Complete silence, Hypnotise to 42 hertz, Rebuild a life and eradicate this curse. Release my hate, relieve my state. Travel to the light and ascend, I shall invigorate. My past thoughts are poison, They’re leaking from the cracks in my mind, Never look back, never look back My anger is frozen in time. Alleged to the block, forced down by hates head, Drop the blade, make horrific contact, Be sure that energy is fucking dead. Be sure that energy is fucking dead. I’ve been alleged to the block, forced down by hates head, Drop the blade, make horrific contact, Be sure that energy is fucking dead. Hypnotise to 42 hertz, Rebuild a life and eradicate this curse. I'm finding the strength to go on, Making it to the end of the day, With so much hate around me, I'm held up by those around me.

Grindstone 02:45
Nose on the grindstone. I won't say I had it bad, Or not thankful for what I have, But what part of getting by, Should be easy with you, Trying to undermine me. Wake up everyday, play the games for an honest wage, Won't let these days stop me from staying that way. Go ahead, crush my bones, For the sake of your greed. You've got no grasp for what the common man needs. Go ahead, choke on your riches, The happiness, in which you loan. Keep pushing us, continue breaking us. You've got your nose upon the grindstone. Constantly paving the way, To see out the end of the day, Sweat on my back and blood on my hands, My luxury is the price I have to pay. Honesty and loyalty, Don't go a long way, I just keep to myself, For you to betray. Oh yeah! Go ahead, crush my bones, For the sake of your greed. You've got no grasp for what the common man needs. Go ahead, choke on your riches, The happiness, in which you loan. Keep pushing us, continue breaking us. You've got your nose upon... Grindstone. You've got your pawns to bend over, And make them sweat for fair play, You've got no spine, you've lost your way. Cause all you are is mother fucking here say

No matter what the day, Or what the world wants to say, We’re merely nothing in the greater scheme, Only a whisper in the frey. Never a moment when he’s not around, In the darkness, with both eyes on you. The master smashing his fist on humanity. A game, lost by the evil and untrue. Summon the deathchitect, sour reckoning. Burn a page, bring earth down. Just feel it crumbling. Human mind, propaganda. Pandora's box of lies. All rise for the deathchitect. It's time for your demise. Burnt bodies, and the rivers flowing blood. Mass destruction at its peak, rid the world of love. Nothing to save, yet no one to blame. The endless cycle of mankind and the birth of flame. And the birth of flame. Clear the way. Clear the way. The death designer brings all types of pain. He appears, in the blink of an eye and then there's nothing left of the way we know today. Earthquake of sickness. Tsunami of lies. Annihilation of humanity, The world is dying from disease, Bring on the flood, A new creation, No survivors, Complete devastation. Summon the deathchitect, I am the bringer of death, Sour reckoning, Till no ones left. I am the bringer of death. Till no ones left.

The constitution of blood. Absolute destruction world wide. Binding oath of potential future. A promise of ever lasting desolate. A Capital Enemy

about

Limited edition 12" Vinyl (as well as CD) also available for preorder from the 1054 bigcartel store.

"Knowledge Of The Wicked" is the debut full length album by Melbourne's metal / hardcore outfit CAPITAL ENEMY. After releasing their first EP back in March 2016 also on 1054 Records the band has had a few key personnel changes with original guitarist Jason (also of CROWNED KINGS) step up to take on the vocal duties after the departure of original singer Bones (also of SOUTHPAW). They have since added Will on guitar to complete he current 5 piece lineup.


Band Bio :


Since 2014, Melbourne's Capital Enemy have only one goal in mind. To create powerful, driving music that speaks to the frustrated, forgotten and the downtrodden. Combining elements of Thrash, Hardcore, Metalcore and Groove Metal, the band have spent several years honing their craft. Including members of Australia’s own, Crowned Kings, Beneath The Rising Tide and beat down sledgehammers, Decimate. Capital Enemy have an experienced team and are driven to do whatever it takes to achieve their potential and have some fun doing it.

After 2 years of writing, self-improvement and perseverance, the band are on the cusp of releasing their 10 track debut LP Knowledge Of The Wicked. The band entered the studio in the early days of November 2017 with Beau Mckee and Kris
Samos of Beau Mckee Recordings to bring this project to life. Knowledge Of The Wicked is a half hour expression of gritty, downbeat Metalcore, frustration and discontent. With a refusal to adhere to a single genre or label, this album
was designed to bring together fans of heavy music the world over and to create live shows where Old School Metalheads can circle pit with Hardcore Kids. From the heavy grooves to the dark melodies, this record will remind listeners through the passion of the lyrics that despite the harsh realities of the world today, their resentment is not just their own.

With Mark Hunter of Cleveland’s Chimaira, Makka from Crowned Kings and Earth Caller’s Josh Collard uniting their voices with the band, Capital Enemy have created something unique, yet familiar that you do not want to miss !!!
