Oath 00:40
True to this Oath, I stand.

Atom Bomb 02:53
Ripped bloated, bleeding at the seam. Angelic sacraments, to let the demons feed. Cursed with tracks, countless heroine deaths. Flawed. Drugs filling minds, plagues ending lives. Fiends from within, Hope's light dims. A taste so bittersweet, it brings you to your knees. Dealers on the doorstep, prevent recovery. There's no escaping, you've sealed your fate. Needles, piercing skin. Poison, leeches in. Shallow, breathe begins. No, escape from this. Death is on his way.

Dehumanized 03:37
Open up your eyes. Mankind's, lost, its way. Wars, breed, wars. Filth, meets, filth. Fear, buys, votes. votes, mean, shit. A nation consumed, by its own lies. Corporate leaders, marked with a price. Campaigning Hate, wolves seeking prey. I, will not bury my, head into the sand, filling pockets, of, political billionares. This, system is a joke, capitalistic thrones, put to sleep, a nation full of mindless sheep. Your, empty votes are void, dissilusionment. words are cheap, arm a ficticious president. A Nation divides, by febal minds. Sadistic beuracrats, fund the design. Where is your rage? Poverty and Ignorance reign. When, will we, see, through, corporate, greed. With, in the, depth, Is, Certain, death.

I've fallen ill, Time, frozen still. I am worthless. Shattered, splintered, hope. Whispers, callus, ears. Ingesting spiteful words I simply must deserve, Growing empty in a cold and desolate world. The razor speaks, it's calling out my name. Screwed reflections have made me feel ashamed. My suicidal thoughts have crossed me once again, So I place this blade, against my skin. I drift away, But I awake. I once was ashamed, but now I wake. Within times of trial, I had grown weak. I will never make that same mistake. I will overcome, and push through pain. Blis-tering fear, You drew me near. I, will choose life. Encompass light. Another soul, in an imperfect world. Has shown me comfort, in which I don't deserve. Among shadows, we dance within our words. The razor speaks, its calling out my name. But my perception, has ultimately changed. I will not fail, I've, become more. I will not break, I'll Build off the pain.

about

"Overall, if you're looking for a gut-punching, skull smashing, unstoppable, hardcore/metal onslaught, "The Tragedy of Mankind" is your ep." - Old Skull Zine

"xIron Sharpens Ironx has achieved something worth celebrating with EP, The Tragedy of Mankind. There is a glorious, nostalgic tone to proceedings, with nods to other straight edge bands such as Earth Crisis and Throwdown." - Metalmance

"Lyrically focusing on mental health and overcoming mental struggles, the music is a heavy, aggressive onslaught that transports these themes perfectly." - Unstille Magazine

"This genre-defying album throws all emotions into the mix to really bring home the message. This is about facing flaws, dealing with past mistakes and remaining resolute in the face of adversity. It’s powerful in its sincerity and immediate in its self-reflection." - Benjamin Boggs (Moshpitnation-mi)
