Virtues Forgotten

-

"Virtues Forgotten" is a heavy yet heartfelt journey through the erosion of sacred values in modern times. Each verse paints a vivid story of lost integrity, loyalty, and purity—contrasting ancient ideals with today’s fractured reality. With deep roots in Jewish thought and a timeless call to remembrance, the soaring chorus proclaims a return to five core virtues: Honor, Purity, Loyalty, Integrity, Gratitude. It's a cry, a prayer, and a battle hymn for the soul.

Lyrics

[Verse 1 – The Silent Soldier]
He marched through fire, not for glory's name
But for brothers beside him, not fortune or fame
Now statues rust, and stories fade in smoke
The war was won—but truth? It broke.

[Verse 2 – The Bride in White]
She lit the candles, whispered ancient songs
Her heart was clean in a world gone wrong
But they laughed at grace, dressed chains in gold
Now love is traded, and vows are sold

[Chorus]
Where is the fire that once made men stand?
HONOR — a crown not made by hand
PURITY — like snow that hides no shame
LOYALTY — the unspoken, sacred name
INTEGRITY — a truth that doesn't bend
GRATITUDE — like prayers that never end
We remember… or we fall.
Threads unravel. One and all.

[Verse 3 – The Old Rebbe’s Eyes]
He sat by the wall, with a worn, torn book
Tales of kings, prophets, the paths they took
But no one asked, no children came to hear
The scroll was closed for another year

[Bridge]
Aleph to Tav, what have we lost?
What price was paid—what was the cost?
The tzitzit flutter in morning wind
Whispers of what we once called sin
Return, return, O soul of flame
Write the virtues back into our name

Beyond the Veil

"Beyond the Veil" is a philosophical metal ballad that explores the timeless question of life before and after birth. Inspired by the parable often attributed to Dr. Wayne Dyer, the song imagines two unborn twins questioning the meaning of existence, purpose, and what lies beyond the womb. Through poetic lyrics, intense melodies, and spiritual undertones, the track becomes a powerful metaphor for faith, mystery, and awakening. Anchored by a haunting chorus, it serves as both a meditation and a rallying cry to believe in something beyond what the eyes can see—a hidden realm where souls are born and return. Lyrics In a chamber soft and dark, we float in thought unknown Two hearts beat in silence, yet we are not alone You say, “This life is all we know, no sky, no greater light” But I can feel the rhythm of something out of sight "You speak of breath and sunlight, of lands beyond the tide But have you seen this mother, this world you claim will rise?...

"Covered and Free" is a soul-stirring, emotionally charged metal song inspired by Psalm 32. This song explores the inner battle between guilt and grace, the torment of hidden sin, and the spiritual liberation that follows honest confession. With haunting verses and a triumphant chorus, it journeys from silence and sorrow to the joy of divine forgiveness. Fusing melodic metal with ambient textures, it echoes the soul's longing for healing and the fierce relief of being known and still embraced. This is a song of truth, vulnerability, and victory over darkness. Lyrics Blessed is the soul whose sin is gone, Whose guilt is lifted like the dawn. I kept it in, I hid my face, But silence turned my bones to waste. Day and night Your hand was strong, I felt the heat, I knew the wrong. But then I spoke, I named my shame, And mercy met me in Your name. I confessed, and You forgave, You pulled me up from my silent grave. No flood will drown, no storm will break,...
