VERSE 1: Richmaiden Push me away  Nothing is worth it  We don't deserve this There's nothing here  So push me away  I won't forget you  You won't forget this  There's nothing left for me So call me when this is over  I said hit me up when my body stops burning  What have I done? I’m falling apart  Fall apart with me yea  Let's ruin this shit worse  I swear nothing is here Endless desert  Stare at the sun ‘til it swallows the earth  I can't bare to hold on any longer  Fill me with composure  Kill me when it's over  VERSE 2: Eidolon And so I lie at the bottom of this ditch Thinking back on all the choices that have put me in this place Now every time I move I feel the pull down from the roots I guess it’s true you reap the soil that you sow That’s why behind every golden garden is a hoe So now I rest on the broken glass that I have made

VERSE 1: Richmaiden Behold the flood gates  Everybody trynna bring me down they won't falter my feng shui Alter the one way I know how to follow close to my strength  I'm losing more every day  I know I won't fall too set in my ways  All I know's I won't wait  Maiden be the motherfucking epitome of tragedy  Had everything I could ever want but lost drive and hence everything I ever wanted is now too far out of my reach I let everyone I know down  That's why I'm opposed to show weakness  Hold me as I reach for whatever I have left Just a shot in the lightless  Pitch black surrounds me no stress I'm used to this Hold me in the coldest night that I've felt in the longest time that I can remember  You're the only way to get me through forever  Hold me VERSE 2: Eidolon Dust on the door left the light for the moths Painted my walls with a spray of my thoughts Chasing my ghosts I lost track of the cost So they came to collect and I got out of dodge Now All I wanna hear is the rainfall No I ain't trynna see your face naw Puzzle pieces make me complete But I ain't seen the box in weeks I'm too weird for the cool kids and too cool for the freaks So I guess I'll just do me So I guess I'll just do me Chew me up and spit me out Crucify me in the name of clout I'll still be more real than most you pricks Know I been through shit while you throw a fit Fuck fake shows and paid reposts I'm that space ghost still coast to coast Fuck a pill leave me alone said fuck pill leave me alone Darkest parts of my psyche use this as a place they rest I'll claw out of this pitfall that has swallowed up my progress

VERSE 1.1: Eidolon You’ll get your face split don’t play me You can’t join the team in the middle of the game g Been wrestling with hades Been scorching up my skin I posses the ring of gyges You’ll pay for all your sins I use to wanna scream so loud just to show you that I’m worth it I couldn’t give two fucks now Coven showed me what’s important VERSE 1.2: Richmaiden Speak to me saturno I'm lost in this foreign land You been the only one that's listened  The only one that understands me  Bludgeon my corpse that'd be dandy Gnaw at my skin and my bones  Mangle me up so they leave me alone  Aye they'll never leave me alone VERSE 2.1: Eidolon How long can I hold my hand to the flame and say that I’m not cinder We been in the stu all winter bitch you been sleeping on us since September That’ll be your last mistake Bout to split ya wig off a senzu bean Turn into your nightmare not your dream Eidolon the king slayer burn eternally VERSE 2.2: Richmaiden Stay awake at night frustrated  "Maiden maiden maiden, watcha doing with that sickle?" Oh the one that's in my right hand? Maybe I'll teach this man a lesson  I'll leave him enough intestines so he has time to cherish what he had before he gave me up and he never forgets it VERSE 3.1: Eidolon Well at least I’ll see the sun before it all goes black Ya at least I’ll see the sun before it all goes black Engulfed in flame cannot run from the scars of the past Ya at least I’ll see the sun before it all goes black VERSE 3.2: Richmaiden Well at least I’ll burn in hell when the earth stops spinning  Well at least I’ll burn in hell when the earth stops spinning  At the bottom of the well rotting in a wisher's prison Well at least we'll burn in hell when the earth stops spinning  Fuck

Tainted Womb 02:15
VERSE 1: Eidolon I’m becoming what has fueled my nightmares  A hollow pit of nothing but despair and failure  My feet leave the surface  Seem doomed to repeat this  Self righteous prophecy  Meet me in the furnace  I killed the goat  Sacrifice this is the year of the stone  Garnished in failure Anointed in greatness  I face it  Lost sight of the pavement, caught tread in the dirt  Keep showing doubt; show you the fuck we are worth VERSE 2: Richmaiden Erase me  Don't make me face it (Tainted) You're nothing without me So complacent but everything you touch turns into cinders Tired of waking up trapped inside this bewilderment  Closed death's door now I'm sipping on it in a rocks Cut my neck and use my blood to fill up this Campari bottle  Now I'll be lucky if I see tomorrow  But curse me if I make it to then I've been telling myself that this all is starting to get better but it isn't and I know it  All my fucking doubts are closing in Pour my heart out and I'll get booed off stage  Blank slate, blank face  Maiden be a great case of "fuck I shoulda pulled out" Now I'm bout to pull the tool out  Motherfucker don't make me

VERSE 1: Richmaiden Don't stop bleeding now  You're seeing things  No they won't stop feeding on you ‘til you plead guilty  Enough is not enough: it's all too much  You could not know what was above us ‘til you brought it down (x2) Bring it down to me  Bring it down so I can tear it up  A mutilation in its purest form  We out of order now  Pouring down Pouring down on me the blood of my ene... Me and you don't get along  It's over keep the portal closed  VERSE 2: Eidolon You lack energy Your false assumptions make you weak Stay away from me The trenches shrink you got no room left in this place No vacancy The way is shut, now none shall pass (x2) I guard the way now There is no room for all of you so run away now I am the beast that marks your fate this is your fate now This is your fate Flames they engulf with the decay surrounding fiend The way is closed bend your knee to the deities Send you away but not heaven nor hell Trapped in the walls of a nightmarish spell Keep the black flames burning endless right below Feed them flesh of the weak to keep the portals closed

VERSE 1: KruddTheGuru  I be really mobbin where the dead man goes I’m cut throat I’ll turn it to a deadman show 2 cups make me feel like I move real slow  I rose from the dead just to summon these souls  Kush still burning when the coffins closed Floating in the room when we open doors Like a open wound, we gonna leave ‘em all exposed Bitches wanna be my boo like I sleep with ghost I just got thoughts in my head that I should of been dead Or maybe I am, I’ll still fuck it up  I just been thinking bout pussy and bread But either way we gonna level up Walk in my shoes and see how I live  You wouldn’t wanna live anymore We could be Cult together  But what would you do just to live here a little more I got problems and i wanna solve them VERSE 2: Richmaiden It’s like dragging a moth into the light  Violently shaking I wasn’t designed to withstand this much disparity at one time  100 proof isn’t enough anymore but it might help the impact when I wreck my ride  Maiden a pain in the neck  Maiden be an infection deteriorating the spine  Run with the coven we on some cult shit tonight  You wanna ride? Access denied.  One thing I learned in this life: you can fall apart quicker than you can ever be designed  fuck what you heard about me  I can lose everything but my pride  Hatred personified  Ghost or a god, you decide yea it be the same thing  Devil still be my wingman In the club with a ouji board in my backpack I be the semen in her throat when she screaming VERSE 3: Eidolon I’m at the top of my game  Why is it this is the lowest that I’ve ever felt?  I feel like a pawn in the scheme Runaway train I live just by laying down tracks  Been creepin toward the edge of the void  It’s been too long now  I’ve lost all reference to the map  No there’s nothing left for me there  Time is up now I guess that there’s no turning back  This is the end of my line  Plunge head first in a nose dive  Coven cut throat with the blade  I rotate quick as I rip through Saturns eye  I choose life I choose edge of my sword  Cutting down whatever’s in my path until I collapse Eidolon the torch of the new path Know I got the Oni Mask Reaper comin greet him with a laugh Swing the scythe: smack He hit a stone that been wrapped in swaddling now his neck snap I take his cloak and scythe sipping whiskey out his skull in the pale moon light

VERSE 1: Eidolon I don’t know why I put myself through this Guess self inflicted misery something I’m getting used to Feel like her puppet though she said no strings Wrapped around your finger but I know I’m getting nothing She wants bruises on her ass but not a kiss up on her cheek ay Wish we could go back to the nights up in my whip with the high school emo shit bumpin talkin shit I wish I stopped fuckin up And didn’t give a damn But I’m up every night vacant spot up in my bed Something's missing I put myself first I play your game each week looking forward to the hurt She took a bite out my chest still wear my heart upon my sleeve Know the days coming quick when I’ll be left stuck in the weeds Well fuck it It takes 1 to dip I got me myself and I A fifth of liquor and my wrist So let me smooth my mustache whiskers before I blow you a kiss Wouldn’t wanna get these pussy ticklers on your brand new dress VERSE 2: Richmaiden Fucked up so what  Been tracing all my steps back like where did I go wrong  No loss no luck I don't wanna know what happens when you're gone  I've been dying just to finally pull you in  I just hope that it's not too much to pull you down  I would give it all away to just step back and get rid of all of this gravity around us  We were abandoned  Nobody found us Nothing is worth it and I've been so fucking lost I'm just not sure how much more pain these pills can take away Eternity ain't my thing  I step back out my body just to watch it fall asleep  Externally I dream of what I could be if these chains didn't hold me back  VERSE 3: Dev John You and me are never gonna be completely healed, and I accept this We’re divided by the lies you cried out loud that night inside your bedroom Being one with everyone is dumb cause one and one’s worth more than counting sores Seeing fun as something I can’t have cause we’re stuck hiding right behind my silent eyes and they stay wide sometimes when you walk right on by A fire and a smile inside but it don’t ever show A liar in the trial denied it but you’ll never know

VERSE 1: Eidolon Sicker than your average clout demon cabbage patch kid  Catch a cataract from staring at the aftermath  Eidolon the asshole Self centered lazy ass  Eidolon the world shaker, wave and the avalanche So what’s it gonna be?  Hand grip a rosary Bare your own cross be a man who you’re suppose to be Little focus see blurry from the Tully D  Pussy foot think devil marked mommas ovaries Wish I could make these decisions quick  Wish I ain’t exist  Wish I knew it’d all work out but  I been drowning ain’t nobody shift  Cinderblocks on wrist And I know I’m the one who tied em  I been learning how to hold my breath  Guess I better learn to swim  It’s Summoned Souls or I’ll be sinkin VERSE 2: Richmaiden Torn up into pieces  Maiden got a plan to retaliate he been showing too much weakness Don't help I've been swimming with the leaches  I don't need this  I refuse to resist You took a part of me  You left me incomplete  Crying out clogging my arteries  Used to the larceny  Look at me see what's left partially Hardly afraid  Noose around my neck until my grave  Maiden be the motherfucking serpent slithering away No shame  This abomination never tamed  I been honest with myself and that got me nowhere ok ok I'm running away from everything that I ever knew  Afraid to hold it back I wish I was afraid to tell the truth  Glass full  Pouring liquor in the booth Yung amaro fuck a sleuth  Coven holy you uncouth Summoned Souls yea

VERSE 1.1: Richmaiden Why'm I still here?  Why'm I still breathing? Why'm I still here? You never even cared  VERSE 1.2: Eidolon How could you do this How come I can’t I’m over this bullshit I’m ending this now VERSE 2.1: Richmaiden Servants of my tactical plan:  Knuckle down at my execution  Don't forget what we concurred  Cover me with dirt  Cover me with certainty  VERSE 2.2: Eidolon I’ll throw weight if I want I’ll throw down if I want We’ll burn down this whole place We will bleed for this cause We are Coven we run this

about

Francisco Goya was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker and is widely considered the most important Spanish painter of the late 18th century. Towards his later years, Goya became deaf, paranoid, and depressed. He moved into a farmhouse that he converted into a studio called “La Quinta del Sordo” (The House of the Deaf Man). At the age of 75 he painted 14 paintings onto the walls of the farmhouse known as “the black paintings” that he would never write, exhibit, or talk about. It was only after his death that these would be transferred to canvas and exhibited.

Goya’s most famous of the black paintings was ‘Saturn Devouring His Son’ (the base of the album artwork for ASWIS). It is said that Goya painted this because just like Saturn, he believed one of his sons would overthrow him and his legacy...


Saturn (Saturnus) is the Roman Titan/God of creation, time, dissolution, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal, and liberation. He was the father of all other gods and beings to come. Saturn grew paranoid by the prophecy he was told that one of his children would overthrow him as ruler of the Titans. In this fear, he began devouring each of his children one by one as they were born.

Saturn could not avoid his destiny no matter how hard he tried to by devouring his children. Saturn’s wife hid their sixth son, Jupiter, from Saturn and instead left a stone, disguised as a baby wrapped in swaddling in his place. Jupiter escaped and returned later to defeat his father Saturn and fulfill the prophecy. He banished Saturn and the other titans to Tartarus and became the leader of the gods.


This album is a bridge between our struggles and issues, and how they relate to that of the mythological stories, artistic struggles of Goya, and other parables discussed in the Roman and Greek scriptures that have endless connections with our journeys to this day. A Stone Wrapped in Swaddling is a sonic depiction of how we have both been and destroyed and managed to overcome our own personal Saturns.
