REPOSTING THIS TO START OVER. . .

We’ve been asked two things about the new songs.

A) What are the lyrics?
2) What do they mean?

Normally, I don’t believe in opening the coffin and explaining what crawled out of it. Art should breathe on its own… or not breathe at all.

But I also know this: just because I tell you what I saw in the darkness doesn’t mean you won’t see something else staring back at you from it.

So if you’re still willing to step inside…
here you go…

28 DAYS LATER

V1
WE'VE BEEN INJECTED
NOW WE'RE INFECTED
THE HUMAN DILEMMA
STARTS TO SHOW
OUR CONVERSATION
FUELS FRUSTRATION
RAGE IN OUR VEINS
IS MORE THAN WE CAN CONTROL

Pre-Ch
WITH DESPERATELY WICKED HEARTS, WE RIP AND DESTROY
LAUGHING AS IT ALL BURNS TO THE GROUND
COERCION BEGETS VIOLENCE IN THE NAME OF SOCIAL CHANGE
BUT WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS THERE’S NO REVISION TO BE FOUND

Ch
WE’RE ALL STILL THE SAME
28 DAYS LATER
WE’RE ALL STILL TO BLAME
28 DAYS LATER
WE STILL WONDER WHY
28 DAYS LATER
28 DAYS LATER, WE STAND
AND SHAKE OUR FISTS AT THE SKY

V2
ABOMINATION MEETS REVELATION
WE WATCH THE PROPHECY UNFOLD
LIBERATION FROM DAMNATION
LISTEN FOR THE TRUMPETS AND OBEY AS WE ARE TOLD

28 Days Later uses apocalyptic horror imagery to portray something far more unsettling than zombies or end of the world chaos. It portrays a world already infected, already rotting from the inside out, where the real danger isn’t what’s outside the body, but what has already slipped in unnoticed.

What looks like infection and decay is really a slow spiritual unraveling. Sin isn’t portrayed as a sudden attack, but as something almost invisible at first, something that spreads quietly through thought, desire, and compromise. It takes root like a disease you don’t feel until it has already rewritten you. By the time you recognize it, it has already reshaped your identity, turning what was once alive into something that only resembles life.

The horror isn’t just decay of flesh, but the haunting idea of existing without true life in you. It’s the image of movement without meaning, breath without presence, a body still functioning while something essential has already died inside. That’s where the apocalyptic weight comes in. It’s not just the end of the world, but the end of who someone was meant to be.

But it doesn’t stay in that darkness without tension. Beneath the decay, there is a sharper contrast being drawn. Spiritual death is not presented as the final word. Instead, it stands against the possibility of real life, something restored, something whole, something that breaks the infection’s claim. The horror makes the restoration more striking, as if light itself becomes more piercing after so much darkness.

What does this song mean to you?
