DOEN 03:18
Winter is your doom Sunset comes too soon In lands of midday black Undead hordes attack Bells of death toll Chaos unfolds Humans bled dry No one survives Winter is your doom Sunset comes too soon Endless feasts of blood Where there is no sun Bells of death toll Chaos unfolds Humans bled dry No one survives

I refuse to sleep I will not eat I'm drowning in my bed Bind her hands to mine And make her blind She's lost the rest of time Babe, frothing at the teat Carry him to me His blood like cream Stars that fade away Their light will dissipate And carve another name Cut it up Cut it up Cut it up Just before I take it Paint your lips with blood And clean your eyes You've stripped away the skin Babe, frothing at the teat Carry him to me His blood like cream Cancer of thinking Thinking You've left behind All that You're wasting Wasting away

No Hope 02:58
My nervous system Wrapped so tight Bones so brittle I bleed inside Face is burning Hands so cold Now your excuses Are getting mighty old No hope no, no going home x4 The creep is crawling Deep below He likes me better When I lose control Burning bridges Digging holes His words are poison They're all I know You're not so pretty Your heart's so cold Your jokes aren't funny Your souls been sold You're not so smart There's a crack in your smile Your shit won't fly You're a useless pile

Wasted angel Broken halo Wings of emerald Empty bottles Lost for time Soaked in brine Nickeled and dimed Crows and swine Burned out all doubt Take back your skin You've been broken No light to fail Lost for time Soaked in brine Nickeled and dimed Crows in swine

It feels so strange To be erased Why was I All that remained Look what we've made A shit parade Buried in it Can hardly breathe Eyes so weak and skin so grey Dying voices sing to me Eyes so weak and skin so grey Dying voices sing to me Mountains fall and oceans rise Build the world and watch it die No gods to praise No flags to raise Kids in the sky Won't make the grade It feels so strange To be erased There is nothing Nothing to save Eyes so weak and skin so grey Dying voices sing to me Mountains fall and oceans rise Build the world and watch it die

We've come so far away from home The days and nights are all the same It's so insane to be alone With all the time I gave away You walk behind the light You walk behind it You won't defend the lie You'll never make it... With hardly any hope to grow You've got a contract with a hole Carry that weight until the end You've got no fight to win These times you would erase These times of sorrow You want it to be safe You want it to be... Now you've come to see What you're wanting What you need from me You want me dying...

Dawn Rising 07:01
Staring searching A shell of a shadow Tried so hard to be right Becoming so wrong Until nothing was left And nothing was right I still hear The clash of weapons Disguised as words So easy to begin So hard to end So easy to begin And so hard to end Dawn Dawn rising Sun shine burning Feels like defeat An empty zero Living flatline It felt like misery The truth that set me free The world a mirror Bloodied and broken Screaming riot Screaming riot riot Until nothing was left And nothing felt right 'til nothing was left And nothing felt right Dawn Dawn rising Sun shine burning Feels like defeat An empty zero Who lives in flatline It felt like misery The truth that set me free The world a mirror Broken, bloodied and cracked Screaming riot Screaming riot Screaming riot

Failure 04:57
Don't fail me, don't fail me now [2x] You take the lies I give to you You take them all to make them true Now the soil has turned face down What is that sound? There ain't nothing around Don't fail me, don't fail me now [2x] Backing down in my darkest place The chains on the ground are the lines in my face Scratch on the wall is a ghost of you You make them all and make them true You don't know me, but you will It's something else I'm feeling There's something wrong It's something else that we found out You don't know me, but you will A seething mass has gone to ground To let it sleep I kill my town Bar the door. Sink away It's alive. It's too late You don't know me, but you will

1516 03:37
Scan the seas Deep below Drought of life where we Plot our course There's no way out God will not answer There's no way out Damn all who enter Dusty deep Grey reefs swarm Water's warm, but our Bodies freeze Bathed in rust Losing sleep Now to leap into Burning fire There's no way out God will not answer There's no way out Damn all who enter AFIRE! AFIRE! AFIRE! AFIRE!

This Animal 02:42
The captain's weary She's lost in wine The ship is listing With a broken spine Home system calling No husband now The galley's holding The end of us all [Chorus:] It's in us all [3x] It's in us all, this animal, it's in us all It's in us all [3x] It's in us all, this animal, it's in us all All hands gone missing Blood banks are dry Dead vessel screaming An empty hull Adrift in silence Breathe breath no air All comms are hissing In space so cold [Chorus]
11.
Wanting eyes, they were burning green Trying to see what cannot be seen Where no wind blows Where no grass grows Hold a thought for the ones we leave behind Crawl away on an empty plain Fallow earth that will cover me Where no wind blows Where no grass grows Every little twist is what it seems She's awake but she's not alive Final daughter of another time Where the grass grows Where the wind blows Crying out with a voice that is not mine

about

Portland, OR’s ultimate hard-rockin’ party bringers emerge from two years of constant touring with their new full length album ‘Whales And Leeches’. There’s certainly no shortage of fun on their new record, but ‘Whales And Leeches’ sees Red Fang further maturing into top notch songwriters and musicians. With the help of guests Mike Scheidt (Yob) and Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), ‘Whales And Leeches’ further propels Red Fang into the upper stratosphere of hard rock and metal elite. Red Fang have always been true masters of the hard rock hook and with ‘Whales And Leeches’ they deliver 11 killer, instantly classic anthems.

about

Red Fang Portland, Oregon

Ever since their inception, RED FANG have strived to write heavy, catchy music underlaid with subtle complexities. Founded in 2005, the band had a distinctive and fully-formed sound right from the start: a mix of compelling rock songwriting and party-hard metal euphoria that speaks to the headbanger, the hesher, and the music student alike. ... more
