"Embraced" is our Extol cover introducing our new vocalist Peter Watson of Elephant Watchtower. Extol is one of our biggest influences and we wanted to make a tribute to them for their colossal impact on us and the metal genre in general. "Embraced" is not one of their most well-known songs but we think it should be! Enjoy!
lyrics
Embraced by evil
In this world of hate
Searching for love
That was not there
Nobody gave me
What I was looking for
The shadows fell before my eyes
And all of a sudden
I could only see black
Hate became real
Partaking in evil ceremonies
Worshipping the beast
Mocking God and His servants
Depression weighs upon me
With its strangling hands
I'm looking for a way out
As suicidal thoughts enter my mind
Surviving in a mysterious way
With demons haunting me
Every time I close my eyes
Embraced by the spirit of life
Accepting the sacrifice
That fills my heart with true love
The only way to be whole again
