Let them see the fire in your eyes Let them know that you have control Let them see the fire in your eyes Let them taste the flames in your soul

Without a Trace 05:17
lyrics

Sometimes, someone disappears Just gone, in the middle of the night Everybody knows they won’t be coming back Sometimes, everybody’s not right For if you have been taken And if you somehow survive the monster’s bite You might wish you’d just been devoured When the body reforms and the soul ignites … There's no going back There's no way out You know that it's true You know the beast is you You're lost in the beast and the beast is you Sometimes everybody is wrong And you can come back when they all think you're gone But you won’t be recognized You might wish you’d simply been transformed For with your tail lashing cold stone You’ll be driven from what once was home Your identity unknown Nowhere to go, no way to atone To make a life, to show them that you Drowned in the beast and the beast is you ... For they cannot know what’s true They can’t see through this new pelt, to you You eye those who you knew Kill and maim? That’s what you know how to do ...

Retractable 04:38
lyrics

They keep pulling me onward These needs I'm running farther and farther From who I once thought I would be These claws know where to go Conscious me just has to breathe These paws know how to flow Every time, I like it a little more Carnivore's heart I need to feed on what bleeds Carnivore heart I wish I knew what it means These claws know where to go Consciously I just need to see … Claws are retractable Am I retractable? My claws are retractable Is my nature retractable? Rain washes away the scent of me Strange spotted cloud, naked, wild, free Looking for something to kindle this fire Another use for my ferocity The moonlight glimmers with feral beauty And I just need to see These paws know where to run Every time I retract to me ...

Ravenous Current 04:16
lyrics

What are you at heart? The player, or the game? You could find yourself this night If the huntress calls your true name If you're driven, start your engine You will partake in the chase And if you're not, well, it'll probably be quick The only rule of this game is that all must play ... They keep coming, thunder through the sky They're coming, are you their beast, or will you die? They keep coming, to plunge you into their current The ravenous current, on electric wings they ride Is it a game? Is it war? Does anybody care? The blood, the chase, is electric in its flow Strange new bodies running springing flying through the air If you've been rebuilt for the kill, you will know But even swept up in the current, can you still wonder? And ask yourself why you're the one to hunt? Is the answer one you know? Was it just in your nature? Not killer, not betrayer, just a carnivore Ears forward, tail whipping out Holding you steady as you move Claws flex, teeth bare to rip out Yet another quarry's center, removed And still you question, but it feels so right Flowing, swept up in the current tonight ...

Slipping 04:43
lyrics

I fade away Until I am simply the hunt I’m here to stay Coming forth to feed on just a few Another leap, another snap Yet my world keeps turning Ferocity controls me, belongs to me Moving forwards to feed on you ... Slipping through my claws, like holding onto water As I'm coming forth to feed Slipping through my claws, like I'm just water And nothing's left except for me Feel the release Feel the hot blood as it gushes out of the meat I've dissolved into the rhythm and the rhythm is still me I've dissolved into the rhythm, the rhythm is me Slipping through my claws, how I used to be Rolling down my tail till it's gone, and I can't quite see I've dissolved into the rhythm but the rhythm is still me My ferocity controls, is, and belongs to me … Maybe I'm under a spell But I really don't think that I'm someone else Stuck in the passing lane, watching, taking No-one else goes fast enough to know I'm here, here to stay And I'll kill anything in my way ...

Wild Blood 05:16
lyrics
buy track
The rush of a fall Between trees that still stand tall Scent of dust in the air All that remains of when all was there Would it really be such a thrill If you shaped your world to your will? The feeling in your blood, feeling of pounding Follow it all the way down ... It feels like a river But wild blood doesn't know where to flow Spills over banks to feed the creature Wild blood, with nowhere to go You wandered so far To reach land yet unmarred Under the sky, feeling somehow alive Shadows on the ground slither and writhe The rush of a chase Between trees at incredible pace The thrill of a naked strength Follow it all the way down … The rush of a fall Into a land yet un-mauled If you shaped the world to your will Would it feel so real? The feeling, your heart is pounding, devouring Follow your blood to the kill ...

about

A second outing for me on guitar. And the introduction of some true analog synthesizer sounds as well.
The EP and the stories told on it revolve around the concepts of self, fear of being controlled, and fear of losing control. If we all can grow and evolve in so many different directions, then is there really a part of you that defines you? Can it change too?

about

Vertigo Fox image

Vertigo Fox Winnipeg, Manitoba

Vertigo Fox is a band made up of one mysterious, probably catlike creature.
A mysterious creature who, tired of hearing the same themes in music year in and year out, decided to create something altogether stranger.


Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls. ... more
